that she is just like one of the snowflakes - unique and perfect in
her own way. A beautiful story about new beginnings and making
friends by CBeebies presenter Cerrie Burnell.

When Isabelle meets a lovely fairy called Summer-Blue, she
discovers a magical world, hidden in the woods at the bottom of her
garden. She can't wait to share what she's learned with her family,
but her sister and brothers don't believe in fairies, and they
don't believe Isabelle! As a deaf child Isabelle can see and sense
things that her family can't. Her hearing aid helps her to
understand their world - but how can she persuade them to step into
hers? An enchanting picture book about fairies, friendship and
family, by CBeebies presenter Cerrie Burnell, illustrated by Laura
Ellen Anderson.
Minnow is different from the other girls in her town and there's
plenty to set her apart: the blossom of pale scars which lie
beneath Minnow's delicate ears, the fact that she has an affinity
with the water which leaves people speechless, and that once - she
is sure - in deep, deep water, her body began to glow like a sunken
star. When her mum gets into trouble and is taken from their boat
in the dead of night, Minnow is alone with one instruction: sail to
Reykjavik to find your grandmother, she will keep you safe. Minnow
has never sailed on her own before, but the call of the deep is a
call she's been waiting to answer her whole young life. Perhaps a
girl who is lost on land can be found in the Wild Deep. The
stunning middle grade debut from Cerrie Burnell
Somewhere in the deep and frozen north is an island surrounded
entirely by ice. The inhabitants love their snowstorm isle-with its
scattered wooden cottages, its small patches of forest, and its
single mountain peak. Most of all they love the magnificent ice
bears that roam the streets, giving the island its name-The Isle of
Bears. Life with bears is dangerous, as Marv Jackson knows-the
large crescent moon shaped scar on his face acts as a constant
reminder of the night he survived a bear attack. But something
tells him the legendary tale of that night, isn't quite the full
story, and that the truth lies with a mysterious skating girl and
her magnificent polar bear.
