Milo isn't extra clever, or extra naughty, or extra anything. And
he doesn't get chosen to do things very often. But when a
mysterious new boy, who can't speak any English, joins his class,
Milo's curiosity gets the better of him. As he becomes closer to
Mustafa, he discovers that the language of friendship is more
important than speaking the same words.

Some people like to think that a collection of poems for children
has to be either funny or serious, as if there are two types of
children who will only like one or the other. But life isn't like
that, is it! Some days we think hard, some days we cry and some
days we laugh loudly and boldly, and so do children. Many of the
poems in this collection are about real life. Others are about life
as its found in the quirly imagination of the poet. Between the
covers of this book, you will find poems that puzzle you, tell you
stories, make you ask questions. There are dangerous poems,
delicate poems and daft poems. One minute you will be hiding in a
dusty PE cupboard with a friend who is sad, the next you will be
buying ice cream from a polar bear. This is a roller coaster of
poems, that mirrors the ups and downs of daily life. Whether you
are in thinking mood, laughing mood, or a crazy mood, there are
poems here that will keep you company.
"The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea, in a box on the living room
floor. They sailed away for a year and a day and these are the
things that they saw..."Join two curious children on a quirky
adventure, loosely based on the classic Edward Lear poem, The Owl
and the Pussycat.

Ava is hiding - hiding from the small cramped room where she lives
with her two little siblings and her mum, hiding from the taunts
and hostility she gets at school, hiding from her sometimes lonely
and joyless life. But there is love here too. Her best friend Roxy,
her wise Trinidadian Nan and a stray dog she befriends. Can Ava be
brave enough to allow some light to shine into the darkest part of
her being? Moving, emotive and poignant, Coral Rumble's poetic
novel is a compellingly beautiful read.
'Did you know, you can bump into a poem anywhere? You find them in
houses, fields, oceans, cities, trees...the list is endless! I've
even found poems in people's faces, when they laugh or cry, or get
excited. Of course, you have to write the poems you find, because
poems can't hold a pen or type on a keyboard. This book is full of
poems I found when I was looking out for them. I had to dig some
out of my imagination - ouch! You'll discover in the pages some
things that I think should be in a poem, but I'm sure you can think
of more. Go hunting!' Coral Rumble's warm, vibrant, exciting world
of poems is complemented by Shih-Yu Lin's expressive colour
illustrations.
Children will enjoy reading poems about many of the typical
adventures and mishaps that occur when they go outside. There are
poems featuring school camps, family picnics, and church outings,
with related themes of animals, nature and weather, awe and wonder.
As in her previous collection, "Breaking the Rules," Coral writes
with insight and humor, using a variety of different verse forms,
enhancing both the book's visual and educational appeal.
Teachers should welcome this collection from Coral Rumble which
includes both fun and challenging poems with many that break the
rules of conventional layouts.
