Children's author Carolyn Tollefson once again delights her readers by asking them to peer through the eyes of a mysterious gentleman entertaining young sailors with a story from his past, a quick-changing summer's day when four boys charged with finding the perfect spot for an upcoming camping trip on a small island across Lake Winnebago learn that even the greatest of sailors face difficulty on the open water. Calm water and a brisk wind carry the boys hours away to an awaiting beach where the young men search for the perfect overnight spot for their summer-camp friends.But once the sun slips toward the water, and the boys set sail back to mainland, the wind shifts, carries them off course, and then stills. Night falls and a curtain of fog shrouds the lake as the boys are left to their own devices. Written in hauntingly lyrical prose and filled with beautifully rendered illustrations by graphic illustrator Tristan Brewster-Arnold, Sailing Against the Odds takes readers on a marvellous journey of friendship and survival.

A stand-out novel inspired by the incredible true stories of female football legends like Lily Parr and Alice Woods. They can take our ball, but they can never stop the game. Polly Nabb is no stranger to trouble. When her brother Joe is sent to serve in the trenches, all Polly wants is to kick a ball about and forget the war. Mam has other ideas, and makes her stay home to help with endless chores. But football is something Polly is prepared to fight for - it's her life! She's determined to do whatever it takes to fulfil her dream and show the world that football is not just for boys . . . The war years: a time of trailblazing female footballers, like the legendary Lily Parr, who played to sell-out crowds. Polly's dramatic wartime story celebrates those bold young players who changed attitudes to women on the pitch and salutes the unsung heroes on the Home Front too. 'Absolutely magnificent! A glorious tale of football, friendship, feminism and social history.' Emma Carroll 'A very entertaining and enjoyable read.' LoveReading4Schools 'A powerful story.'

With one ball left of the World Cup final, England needed five runs to win. Mo stood in the middle of the pitch as Jos Buttler whispered in his ear: "If anyone can do it, it's you." Mo shook his head modestly and wandered back to the stumps. He tapped his bat twice on the ground and watched as Pat Cummins sprinted in: it was going to be a bouncer, he knew it would be a bouncer... "Mo Akeel." Mo snapped back to reality. "Are you listening?" Ah. School. He nodded his head at Miss Joseph and tried to look interested. He glanced at the board and narrowed his eyes. Trigonometry. On a Friday. Some teachers had a very weird sense of humour. Thus starts the story of an ordinary Birmingham schoolkid in modern Britain. The story focuses on many of the themes prevalent in today's society - religion, racism, bullying, equality and diversity. Told with real passion and skill, it will be an inspiration for a generation of young schoolchildren as they make their way in the world.
