Life is about making choices, and Natalie Sterling prides herself
on always making the right ones. She's avoided boys, always topped
her class and is poised to become the first female student council
president in years. But being the good girl isn't always easy. Not
when Natalie's advice hurts more than it helps. Not when a boy she
once dismissed becomes the one she can't stop thinking about. Soon
Natalie's learning that the line between good and bad is fuzzier
than she thought and crossing it could end in disaster . . . or be
the best choice she's ever made.
Hilarious, illustrated school-based antics where everything that
happens leads to DRAMA and RUNNING AROUND and even some FAINTING!
Izzy and her friends are on a school trip to a big lake. Gary

it's when they open their packed lunches that they know! There's a
MONSTER in the lake and it's coming for their CRISPS!
Laugh-out-loud fun from Blue Peter Award winners Pamela Butchart
and Thomas Flintham. Read more of Izzy's adventures! Baby Aliens

Lottie Brooks is 11 ¾ and her life is ALREADY officially over.

glamorous swooshy hair, but she's just discovered she's too
flat-chested to even wear A BRA!
She might as well give up now and go into hibernation with her
hamsters, Sir Barnaby Squeakington and Fuzzball the Third.
Lottie navigates the perils of growing up in this fantastically funny
new illustrated series for pre-teens filled with friendship,
embarrassing moments and, of course, KitKat Chunkys.
The first book in the hilarious new series for children by the
bestselling creator of Hurrah For Gin. Perfect for fans of Angus,

Freddy is certainly not a Teddy, but that won't stop him from being
the star of the Teddy Bears' Picnic in this inspiring story about
inclusion, friendship and staying true to yourself. Freddy is
Jonah's favourite stuffed toy, but no one knows quite what Freddy
is - a funky duck, a peculiar platypus, a punk rock penguin? When
Jonah's teacher announces that they're going to have a Teddy Bears'
Picnic, it seems that if Jonah wants to take Freddy, Freddy will
have to go in disguise! Jonah and Freddy try all of their best
Teddy Bear disguises, but nothing can quite cover up the fact that
Freddy is a little different. What should Jonah do? He loves
Freddy, but should he still take Freddy to the picnic if he doesn't
look like all the other teddies? Find out what happens when Jonah
stands up for himself and for his beloved Freddy in a heart-warming
story that will resonate with any child who has ever felt like
they're a little different. A celebration of inclusivity and being
kind to others, Freddy the Not-Teddy will inspire young readers to
express themselves just as they are!
