What if your true love could write to you from the future?
Seventeen-year-old Emma Nakamura-Thatcher doesn’t believe in love, not
after her parents’ bitter divorce. So when she attends the festival of
Tanabata, her wish is simple: proof that love is real and can last.
Emma thinks little of her wish. . . . until she finds a note from
someone claiming to be her greatest love writing to her from the
future. It has to be a prank, right? But as the notes pour in, each
revealing secrets only she knows, Emma is forced to accept the
impossible: This is really happening. Someone is actually reaching out
to her from across time.
But who? Ezra, the musical prodigy who makes her pulse race? Theo, the
literal boy next door who’s known her since childhood? Or Colin, the
overly confident, overly handsome, overly rich kid she meets while
cleaning his mega-mansion?
As Emma races to uncover the identity of the letter writer, she’ll
discover that love is more than real—it’s the most powerful force in
the universe. And it’s been waiting for her all along.

Boy-inventor Dev and his giant robot bear, Boja, return for a third madcap adventure, in the high-tech, mega-modern city of Prosperity. There's a battle going on for who will control the magical power of flember . . . will Dev and Boja find themselves fighting for the right side?
Dylan was six when The End came, back in 2018; when the electricity
went off for good, and the 'normal' 21st century world he knew
disappeared. Now he's 14 and he and his mam have survived in their
isolated hilltop house above the village of Nebo in north-west
Wales, learning new skills, and returning to old ways of living.
Despite their close understanding, the relationship between mother
and son changes subtly as Dylan must take on adult
responsibilities. And they each have their own secrets, which
emerge as, in turn, they jot down their thoughts and memories in a
found notebook - the Blue Book of Nebo. In this prize-winning
novel, Manon Steffan Ros not only explores the human capacity to
find new strengths when faced with the need to survive, but also
questions the structures and norms of the contemporary world.
The sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Wild Robot, by award-winning author Peter Brown
Roz is no ordinary robot. After being washed up on the shore of a remote and wild island, she learned to adapt and make it her home, befriend its animal inhabitants and even adopt a small orphaned gosling, Brightbill.
But a new life is now beginning for Roz - she has been taken away, far away from her island, back to civilisation. Where she must pretend that she is a robot like any other - there to follow orders and to carry out tasks on the farm where she now works. She knows she must never let anyone find out who she really is. And more than anything, she must find a way to escape, back to the island and her beloved Brightbill - a journey that will be fraught with danger and drama, and some very unexpected surprises ...

How much is one life worth and what would you sacrifice to save it? For Calico, the answer is simple. Nothing is more important than preserving her sister's life. No cost is too great. Until it is . . .
Saving Asha. That's my religion. That's my science . . . Without Asha, there is no me.
Asha is dead. Years of medical treatment were not enough to heal her. The only way 17-year-old Calico can save her younger sister now is by joining her in death - at least until modern medicine can bring them both back to healthy life. Cryogenics is the answer: Scientific. Legal. Safe. Or so Dr Fates would have her believe. He plans to preserve the sisters' bodies until his biotechnology research finds a cure for Asha.
But when Calico is brought back to life, she's in a post climate catastrophe, low-tech future trapped in a research facility. She's at risk of being sold off to a sinister enforced breeding programme. And worst of all - Asha is missing.
Calico must find a way to save her sister, herself, and the new friends she's made among the other test subjects. But first she has to unravel the secrets the facility is hiding and reveal the lies she has been part of.
In this striking debut, Kathryn Clark raises poignant questions about the ethics of medical science, humans playing god, the consequences of our choices, and the place of consent in healthcare.
A thought-provoking story of hidden lives, by Jane Stemp.
Waterbound is set in a future of limited resources, allocated to
those who can contribute to society, while people unable to

the Waterbound. Gem and her friend Jay, girl and boy on the brink
of knowing more than they should, follow the Waterbound as they
fight to be part of the world above. Admin, the Citya s government,
has them under constant surveillance. Can the Waterbound succeed,
or are these hidden people best forgotten? And even if Gem and Jay
can help, is there a safe way out?

Can she ignore his charms long enough to restore the timeline, save her sister and pass her Calculus class?

THE FUTURE IS LOADING . . .
For decades, the world has been caught in a cold war between two
powerful nations: Medaluo and Atahua. The Medan orphans who live in
Atahua suffer the cost. Their enrollment at Nile Military Academy is
mandatory. Either serve as a soldier, or risk being labelled a spy.
Eighteen-year-old Eirale is one such orphan. Having recently graduated
and joined NileCorp's forces, she's doing well for herself - until
Atahua's most wanted anarchist frames her for assassinating a
government official and she's given a choice: cooperate with him to
search for a dangerous program in Medaluo or go down for treason.
Meanwhile, seventeen-year-old Lia is close to her own graduation when
she's paired with her academic nemesis for one final assignment. But
when they are ordered to infiltrate Medaluo in virtual reality, Lia
quickly realises there is much more at stake than her school ranking.
As Eirale and Lia tear through Medaluo on separate courses, the two
start to suspect they are pieces in a larger conspiracy - and the
closer they get to the truth, the closer their worlds come to a
shattering collision.
