consequences - however unintended they may be! Violet has searched
her room high and low, but just can't find a book she hasn't read
before. She wishes her town had a library; a magical place full of

alas, on this particular rainy day, the only unfamiliar book she
can find is the one propping up the kitchen table. Dad won't miss
it, right?... . With a CLATTER and a CRASH, Violet's actions set in
motion an unstoppable chain of events that soon has the whole town
in chaos! Young readers will delight at the playful, colourful

lead to consequences. The story also introduces children to the

of how our actions can affect others, an important lesson for all
young ones - especially Violet! .

Turning Cartwheels tells the story of Emma's desperation to join
queen bee Carly's Cartwheel Club, who show off their acrobatic
tricks in the playground at lunchtime. Week after week Emma lines
up for a try-out, only to be told by Carly that she hasn't made the
cut. When Emma is finally accepted, she finds that Carly's rules
and requirements take all the joy out of cartwheeling, and that
being part of the gang isn't as awesome as she expected. The book
explores themes of determination, persistence and self-confidence,
but has a central focus on bullying - in particular, the subtle,
underhanded social bullying often experienced by primary
school-aged girls. The character of Carly represents the 'frenemy'
that many young girls encounter - a strong, popular girl who seems
to be their friend, but whose behaviour is often actually
manipulative and mean. While girls often gravitate towards
'frenemies', preferring to stay on their good side and remain part
of their social group, Turning Cartwheels introduces the idea that
there are alternatives, and that children should choose their
friends based on kindness, and having fun together. A sensitive and
compassionate guide to finding true friendship, this story will
help any young person struggling to find friends who make them feel
like they belong.
