Mirabelle in Witch City
Every parent’s nightmare when their child goes on their first ‘away’ school trip… Mirabelle and Carlotta get separated from their teachers and classmates on their way to the Museum of Magical History in Witch City! But, if anyone can think of a way to get out of a tricky situation, it’s Mirabelle.
The Great Unicorn Rescue
A journey through a fearful moment, that assures a young child that they can find bravery from within just when they really need it. Whether your child or children have a fear of the dark, or separation anxiety, even going to school or nursery, this is a comforting read with a happy, hopeful and positive message (and ending).
Witchspark
A thoroughly enjoyable, enchanting and gripping middle-grade fantasy that bubbles with historical fiction!! Set in an alternate version of 1833—a year marked by societal shifts such as the abolition of slavery and child labour reforms, and a pivotal moment for female empowerment—Children's author, Dominique Valente reimagines Great Britain as the mysterious Magic Isles….
The Chronicles of Whetherwhy : The Age of Enchantment
It’s one of those middle-grade books I’m already eager to re-read. So, grab a copy and immerse yourself in the magical island of Whetherwhy, “where magic is as normal as breakfast.” If you’re looking for an inclusive ‘close relative’ alternative to Harry Potter to read with your children or your class - THIS IS IT.
The Beanstalk Murder
A murder mystery following all the traditional plot developments - detecting, discovering a body, looking for a murder weapon, witnesses, suspects, and motive - it’s all here in spades. However to take a veritable Agatha Christie style whodunit and wrap it up in a post human vs giants fairy tale world is super genius.
Alyssa and the Spell Garden
I invite you to read this unputdownable story, with its relaxing, healing, chicken soup (with a magical floral tea) for the soul vibe. Year 6 is over, and Alyssa spends the Summer with new found friends and family, discovering her Jamaican roots and some magical heritage that had been kept secret from her her whole life… UNTIL NOW.
Lily Halfmoon: The Witches’ Council (Book 2)
Yay! Book 2 is here! Living one’s true authentic self, unashamedly is the theme of this new story, whether it’s Lily revealing the truth about her powers to her parents, or whether it’s educating and communicating better with non-witch humans as a whole to avoid feeling different, lost or alone. If you love anything witchy, magical, kawaii, and mysterious then this is for you (or your children).
The Secret of the Moonshard
New fiction from the author of the award winning ‘Orphans of the Tide’ trilogy! Domino and her new found friends head into battle in a quest for the peaceful balance between magic and science in this gripping philosophical fantasy adventure. Expect genetically modified lizards (dinosaurs brought back from extinction), Spirit creatures from your wildest dreams, and some dastardly despotic evil rulers to defeat in order to bring peace back to Abzalaymon once more.
The Girl and The Mermaid
They’re back - the author:illustrator duo and publishing team behind the much-loved, bestselling, ‘The Girl and The Dinosaur’ (Bloomsbury, 2020), and I’m absolutely thrilled to share their new Children’s picture book ‘The Girl and The Mermaid’, which has all the feels of their first book, and then some!
Isadora Moon Helps Out
A new tale in the wonderful Isadora Moon series! In this latest story, Isadora (half vampire, half fairy and who celebrates her uniqueness) plays nurse maid to a poorly fairy mummy - sick with the fairy flu. What can she do to help?
Emerald and the Lost Treasure
Another fabulous early reader illustrated chapter book series from Isadora Moon creator, Harriet Muncaster. During an ocean clean one school morning, mermaid Emerald discovers a lost teddy bear! Maybe her friends Isadora Moon and Mirabelle help her return it?
The Magician Next Door
I’ve been waiting for Rachel to whisk my imagination away on another one of her sweet magical adventures. I adored ‘The Wishkeeper’s Apprentice’ (Walker Books, 2023). 10 year old Callie struggles with a far away house move and grief after losing her mum. A magical mishap brings some much-needed sparkle into her life again in more ways than one.
Wilder
'Wilder' is set in a British water-side village, perhaps 150-200 years ago, telling by the landowning gentry, clothing worn, lack of industry, Christian superstitiousness of traditional folklore ways. A touching story that achieves the delicate balance between sacrifice, loss, and an appreciation for life entwined in the presence of nature in any given moment.
