Author Jacob Sager Weinstein and New York Times bestselling
illustrator Eliza Wheeler deliver a stunning picture book about a
young Jewish girl fleeing Nazi occupation with her parents. Drawing
on the childhood experiences of the author’s mother, this story
of family, immigration, and identity shows the boundless power of
love. Vienna, Austria, is the only home Rosa knows. While her
parents work at their store, she plays with her grandmother, reads
her favorite books, and climbs trees. But when the Nazis arrive in
1938, everything changes. Rosa’s family is Jewish, and the
Nazis’ new laws make it dangerous for Jews to live in Vienna.
Rosa’s parents can no longer run their store. Soon, some Jews
decide to leave the country, and Rosa wants to go, too. But where
would they go? And what would Rosa be able to bring with her?

Join Hyacinth on a magical quest to save London in a uniquely
hilarious and inventive fantasy adventure, the second in a trilogy.
Hyacinth has just saved London, and possibly the world, from a
magical conspiracy stretching back centuries. Not bad for a week of
summer holiday. But why is her family linked to the ancient secrets
of London? Hyacinth needs to find out, and when she discovers that
Ancient Roman stones are being stolen from all around the city,
it's time for another adventure with the help of friends new and
old, including Oaroboarus, a giant pig in a swimsuit. A fast-paced
caper with a magical cast of characters including the dastardly
Minnie Tickle whose skin is inscribed with powerful tattooes, a
host of opinionated living stone sculptures, Hyacinth's new
neighbour Dasra (who may or may not be trustworthy) and the
Corkers: a police force made entirely out of cork.
The funny and empowering tale of a determined princess who takes
matters into her own hands when a dragon ravages her kingdom and
her royal parents are too preoccupied with frills and sparkles to
help. The kingdom is under attack from a dragon, and the king and
queen have emptied the royal coffers to buy sparkly things for the
princess. But Princess Susan doesn't want sparkly things! She wants
to save the kingdom! So, with the help of an outspoken scullery
maid and a loyal canine companion, she rolls up her sleeves and
gets to work. As formidable as the dragon is, Princess Susan's most
daunting challenge may be convincing her parents to pay attention
to what she wants and actually listen to her. Fortunately, the
resourceful and entrepreneurial princess has a perfect (and
delightfully unexpected) plan to ensure that everyone-even the
dragon-lives happily ever after.
An exciting subterranean London adventure, the first in a
middle-grade trilogy. Hyacinth Hayward has recently arrived from
America and is having difficulty adjusting to her new surroundings,
especially being in the sole company of her eccentric mother.
Everything feels strange. Very strange. And it gets stranger the
day she accidentally unleashes the power of a secret river running
through London.
To prevent a second Great Fire, Hyacinth needs to
retrieve a single, magically charged drop of water from somewhere
in the city sewer system. Along the way she encounters an eclectic
cast of characters - the shambling, monstrous Saltpetre Men who
kidnap her mother, the Toshers who battle for control of magical
artefacts and a giant pig with whom she has a tea party.
The clock
is ticking - will she figure out who to trust?
