It's not easy being the new kid at school. Especially when the local bully has it in for you. And when you're challenged to do a stack of stupid dares. Could life get any worse?

Ben Hopper is in Year 6 and he's just moved from the country to the city. He's having trouble fitting in. Things aren't made any easier by the two bullies in his class, Marty Buttsworth and Carl Lovett. And having a crazy, embarrassing brother doesn't help either. While all Ben wants to do is ride his bike and have fun, he's forced to get up to some crazy, gross, outrageous dares to get the bullies off his back.

Hilarious and action-packed, I Dare You, is part of the Lightning Strikes Series published by Walker Books. For ages 9 plus.

Little Good Wolf wants to be liked and to have friends. He wants to belong. But Little Good Wolf has one HUGE problem. His dad is the Big Bad Wolf, the most feared villain in all of Fairytale Land.

The Big Bad Wolf scares girls in red capes. He chases grannies in their nighties. He blows houses down and frightens little pigs. No wonder no one will play with Little!

Determined to gain acceptance at school, Little begs Dad to find a new job. What follows are some rather hilarious, and hair-raising, adventures. Will the Big Bad Wolf ever find a new job? One that will help Little finally make friends?

Featuring familiar, well-loved, fairytale characters, this rib-tickling story about a Little Wolf searching for identity and acceptance – and a few good friends – will have you howling with laughter.

Illustrated by Shannon Melville and published by Wombat Books.

Max has a terrible secret phobia of animals. No one, not even his best friend, Ki, knows about it. So when Ki invites Max back to her house to meet her new ‘pet’ Max does all he can to get out of it.

This is a super funny early reader. I love the cover art and colour illustrations inside. Plus, there is a great little twist at the end that hopefully takes readers by surprise!
