"The river twisted and turned through the forest. Alex and Jo saw lots of extraordinary birds, but none were the Rainbow Bird." Unless Jo and Alex can find the last Rainbow Bird, its species will become extinct. Journeying by riverboat through a spectacular forest, the children find many extraordinary birds -- elegant Underwater Birds, glowing Lamp Birds and excitable Big-to-Little Birds -- but will they find the last Rainbow Bird? This vibrant picture book by award-winning author and illustrator Nora Brech is a riot of colour, imagination and wonder. Children will love the heartfelt, fun story which gently and imaginatively explores wildlife conservation.

Ollis' world has been turned upside down. She's got a new baby brother and, even worse, her mum's neat-freak boyfriend has moved in. Fortunately Ollis has always got her best friend Gro, as she lives right next door and they know each other inside out. Or do they? Ollis hasn't always been completely honest with Gro and when they find a postcard in a mysterious yellow mailbox in the forest, Ollis' lie grows even bigger. What does Ollis know about the postcard that Gro doesn't?

Cornelia and her parents move in to a new house. Bored, she is sent to play "outside." She discovers a hidden treehouse and a boy her own age.

"Do you really live here all alone?" she asks.

"No I live here with my inventions. Come and take a look . . ."

Inside Cornelia is introduced to a magical machine. A jungle machine!

Nora Brech's gothic illustrations are packed with imaginative details and perspectives. Through an extreme wide-angle lens, she draws the reader in to a powerfully detailed, filmic world.
