Turtle Moon
The children’s middle grade fiction and HarperCollins treasure, bestselling, multi-award winning author Hannah Gold is back with her fourth novel, ’Turtle Moon’. Hannah’s books celebrate the tender relationships that children develop with endangered animals, when the child is in a time of personal chaos within their family unit.
Safiyyah's War
Based on the true events that took place in Paris during WW2, of a community of heroic and compassionate North African-heritage Muslims who selflessly risked their lives to ingeniously hide Jews (and sometimes British soldiers) from the Nazis, then helped them to escape; I simply cannot wait to share it with you.
The Map of Leaves
A brilliant debut from Townsend!! A lonely human soul, 12 year-old Orla lives in a simple wooden shed in her garden away from the rest of her water-side rural village of Thorn Creek. She's grumpy, stubborn, closed, hurt, conflicted...and she has a lot to live up to. I will never forget Orla's story and the underlying legacy and importance of female healers and wise-women.
