A Dinosaur Ate My Sister is the first book selected in the Marcus
Rashford Book Club.
This brilliantly illustrated, laugh-out-loud, wacky adventure through

Before you start reading, there are a few things you should know:
- I, Esha Verma, am a genius inventor extraordinaire.

- I did not mean to send my sister back to the Age of the
Dinosaurs. That was HER OWN FAULT (Mum and Dad, if you’re reading this,
please take note).

have a dream. They are going to win the legendary Brain Trophy – the
ultimate inventing prize. This year's entry: A TIME MACHINE.
But the day before the competition, Esha's IGNORAMUS big sister hijacks
the time machine and is lost in the Cretaceous age.
With help from a new recruit for The Office of Time, Esha and Broccoli
will have to face hungry dinosaurs, mysterious black holes and
malfunctioning inventions to get them back in time.

Ways of Sunlight in Trinidad: gossip and rivalry between village
washerwomen; toiling cane-cutters reaping their harvest;

depression of hard times in London, where people live in cold, damp
basements, hustling for survival.
From the author of The Witch Boy trilogy comes a graphic novel
about family, romance, and first love. Fifteen-year-old Morgan has
a secret: She can't wait to escape the perfect little island where
she lives. She's desperate to finish high school and escape her sad
divorced mother, her volatile little brother, and worst of all, her
great group of friends...who don't understand Morgan at all.
Because really, Morgan's biggest secret is that she has a lot of
secrets, including the one about wanting to kiss another girl. Then
one night, Morgan is saved from drowning by a mysterious girl named
Keltie. The two become friends and suddenly life on the island
doesn't seem so stifling anymore. But Keltie has some secrets of
her own. And as the girls start to fall in love, everything they're
each trying to hide will find its way to the surface...whether
Morgan is ready or not. A gorgeous coming of age story in graphic
novel form, celebrating what it means to be different Molly Knox
