15-year-old Mistletoe lives in the sub-canopy zone amid poverty and
outdated technology, but when she meets Ambrose Truax, the
privileged 16-year-old heir to the Unison empire and they discover
they share a sinister link, they begin a frightening journey into
the uncharted territory of the Unison 3.0 upgrade.
In this highly anticipated conclusion to New York Times
best-selling author Amy Tintera's All These Monsters duology, Clara
and Team Seven's quest to expose the truth behind the
scrab menace has them facing their biggest threat yet:
their own demons. Perfect for fans
of Warcross and Renegades. When the world
was crumbling, seventeen-year-old Clara fought back. She escaped
her abusive home and joined Team Seven, a monster fighting squad of
runaways and misfits formed to combat the scrabs terrorizing the
planet. And after nearly dying in Paris, Clara and Team Seven
discovered the sinister truth behind the scrab invasion. Scrabs
aren't just mindless monsters set on destruction.
They're being trained and weaponized by MDG, a private
security firm hired by the government. Now Clara and the
rest of Team Seven have made it their mission to expose MDG. But no
one said fighting for the truth would be easy. And as Clara and
Team Seven find themselves at the center of a global
conspiracy, they must face their biggest threat yet: their own
demons.
"A book with a big brain, big laughs and a big, big heart." - Frank
Cottrell-BoyceAn extraordinary novel for anyone who's ever been
curious. When Albie's mum dies, it's natural he should wonder where
she's gone. His parents are both scientists and they usually have
all the answers. Dad mutters something about Albie's mum being
alive and with them in a parallel universe. So Albie finds a box,
his mum's computer and a rotting banana, and sends himself through
time and space to find her... "Christopher Edge's warm hearted
writing sucks you in from the start with a sparkling take on
parallel worlds, fuelled by a delightfully fresh understanding of
quantum physics and a fearless ability to take on life, loss and
dreaming big while never talking down to his readers. Bananas will
never be the same again. I have one complaint about this book. I
wanted it to be longer." Samira Ahmed Cover illustration by Matt

The 2019 Green Earth Award-Winning trilogy opener is now available
in trade paperback! Forty years after the earth was devastated by
massive flooding, four children on one small sailboat must flee
corrupt authorities and overcome the dangers of the sea that
drowned their world. Twins Will and Annalie thought the hardest
part about this year was going to be their separation when bookish
Annalie began life at a prestigious Admiralty-run boarding school
and avid sailor Will stayed behind in the flood-damaged slums. But
that was before the Admiralty raided their father's engineering
workshop. Before they sent a questioner to threaten Annalie at
school. Before their father disappeared, leaving a single coded
clue to his destination. Desperate to find their father, the twins
set out in the family's small sailboat. But though they are both
experienced sailors, they have no idea what dangers the sea has in
store for them. With The Flooded Earth, Mardi McConnochie opens her
middle-grade cli-fi saga at top speed, drawing readers into a race
against pirates, authorities, and the sea itself in a
not-so-distant future full of new technology and old human
failings.
Imagine having the perfect friend, one who never steals, lies or bullies. Now you can, with the TrooFriend 560, the latest in artificial intelligence! What can go wrong with a robot buddy? Especially one that's developing human characteristics and feelings, and who has just run away with her human?
Robot builds a new racing car. But it doesn't seem to work. Robot
and Rico are ready to get this car back on track!
Bumpfizzle is an alien, sent to Earth from Planet Plonk on a
research mission. Or is he really just a ten-year-old boy who is
feeling a bit disgruntled at all the attention his parents are
lavishing on The Baby? It is up to readers to make up their own
minds. Either way, Bumpfizzle's confusion at Earthling behaviours,
as reported in his diary and his frequent reports back to Plonk,
are hilarious, and his adventures are ridiculous, from eating the
cat's food (it makes him throw up, always good for attention) to
biting his teacher (to check if humans would make a good source of
food for Plonkers) and attempting to sacrifice a goat (he soon
discovers what goats' horns are for).
