A spellbinding, epic and heart-racing magical adventure from an
exquisite new storytelling talent. 'An unexpected gem of a story .
. . A stellar setting, a gut-punch of a twist, and an unforgettable
heroine. This has all the hallmarks of classic children's

thoroughly convincing heroine' - The Daily Telegraph 'Phenomenal' -
Sophie Anderson 'Dazzling from start to finish' - Abi Elphinstone
India, 1855. The British rule, and all across the country, Indian
magic is being stamped out. More terrifying still, people born with
magic are being snatched from their homes. Rumour is that they are
being taken across the sea - to England - by the all-powerful,
sinister Company. When Chompa's home is attacked and her mother
viciously kidnapped, Chompa - born with powerful and dangerous
magic that she has always been forbidden from using - must travel
to the smoky, bustling streets of East London in search of her. But
Chompa will discover far more treachery in London than she had
bargained for - and will learn that every act of her rare magic
comes with a price . . . 'A gripping and spellbinding fantasy woven
together with threads of magic, secrets and colonial history . . .
An incredible cast of characters and a truly multicultural
Victorian London that we don't see often enough' - Rashmi
Sirdeshpande 'A wonderfully vibrant debut . . . A vivid magical
adventure' - Jasbinder Bilan 'Cracking pace, fabulous magic system,
characters, relationships . . . The whole package' - Louie Stowell

Answering young children's questions about racism is hard. This
book gives both children and adults the language and sensitivity
they need to talk about the topic. It gently explains what racism
is, how it happens, why it is NEVER acceptable and what each and
every one of us can do to eradicate it.
No school. No THANKS. No. NO. NO! Laura Dockrill's inimitable style
of poetic rap is brilliantly suited to this romp through the house
and round and round the playgroup, as one little poodle
demonstrates what fun it is to stomp and stamp and pout . . . that
is until naptime, when all she really wants is a . . . CUDDLE!
There is a funky music video quality to this text, and the eye
popping artwork matches the anarchic playfulness of the rap!
WINNER OF THE DIVERSE BOOK AWARDS 2022. A rainbow-filled, JOYOUS
debut from a hugely exciting new talent. Perfect for 9+ readers and
fans of Elle McNicoll, Lisa Thompson and Onjali Rauf's The Boy at
the Back of the Class. My name's Archie Albright, and I know two
things for certain: 1. My mum and dad kind of hate each other, and
they're not doing a great job of pretending that they don't
anymore. 2. They're both keeping a secret from me, but I can't
figure out what. Things aren't going great for Archie Albright. His
dad's acting weird, his mum too, and all he wants is for everything
to go back to normal, to three months before when his parents were
happy and still lived together. When Archie sees a colourful,
crumpled flyer fall out of Dad's pocket, he thinks he may have
found the answer. Only problem? The answer might just lie at the
end of the rainbow, an adventure away. Together with his best
friends, Bell and Seb, Archie sets off on a heartwarming and
unforgettable journey to try and fix his family, even if he has to
break a few rules to do it... Praise for ME, MY DAD AND THE END OF
