The Red Eyes have taken over the Earth. Can Casey use her new
powers to lead the resistance? The third in an exciting and
original sci-fi adventure trilogy for the gaming generation.
Catapulted forward four years, Casey and her teammates have landed
on a very different Earth from the one they left only a few days
before. The Red Eye aliens have taken over, leaving carnage in
their wake as they ruthlessly search for the key to intergalactic
domination. And they seem to have all the adults – and Casey’s
younger brother Pete – in their thrall. Determined to free their
families and stop the Red Eyes from discovering the final piece in
the puzzle, the gamers team up with a rag-tag bunch of teenagers
who call themselves the Resistance. Casey still has the powers
conferred on her by the wise and ancient Squids. But will it be
enough?

The first in a brand-new sensationally spacey, action-packed and
adventure-filled middle grade series written by the incredible
Lorraine Gregory - perfect for fans of MG Leonard and David
Baddiel! Nothing exciting ever happens on twelve-year-old Danny's
estate. That is until he falls through a locker in his grandad's
workshop and finds himself in an Interdimensional Lost Property
Office! And - even weirder - his new boss is a giant purple squid
on a segway! Now Danny, best mate Modge and annoying cousin Inaaya
find themselves in charge of returning alien items to all corners
of the universe. But someone - or something - is determined to stop
them. And there's NOTHING these evil aliens won't stop at to
achieve complete multi-dimensional domination . . . even trapping
Danny and his friends on a planet a million light years away from
Earth. If the fate of the entire multiverse was in your hands, what
would YOU do?
When puzzle-loving Kip Bramley receives a cryptic invitation,
delivered by a beetle-shaped drone that appears to be breathing, he
has no idea that his world is about to change forever. Very soon he
finds himself at Quicksmiths College of Strange Energy, hunting for
riddles set 400 years earlier by a mysterious genius. But this
isn't any ordinary treasure hunt: as the clock counts down, Kip
will need all the help he can get from his loyal new friends and
his faithful pet flying squirrel, Pinky. With danger mounting it
seems much more is at stake for Kip and his family than he could
ever have imagined.

From debut author, Joyce Efia Harmer, comes a groundbreaking YA
story of friendship and freedom that crosses continents and
centuries, in a timeslip novel exploring the legacy of slavery.
Sometime, me love to dream that me is a human, a proper one, like
them white folks is. Enslaved on a plantation in Barbados, Obah
dreams of freedom. As talk of rebellion bubbles up around her in
the Big House, she imagines escape. Meeting a strange boy who's not
quite of this world, she decides to put her trust in him. But Jacob
is from the twenty-first century. Desperate to give Obah a better
life, he takes her back with him. At first it seems like dreams
really do come true - until the cracks begin to show and Obah sees
that freedom comes at an unimaginable cost . . . Both hopeful and
devastating, this powerful novel about equality, how far we've
come, and how far we still have to go introduces an extraordinary
new literary voice.
