Kari Jones
This is a compact, straightforward adventure about caring for wildlife when family work and personal convictions pull in different directions. Mystery and pursuit keep the story moving, while Maya’s choices centre responsibility, trust and competing needs.
Judy I. Lin
A tea-centred fantasy of competition, palace intrigue and family devotion. Ning’s search for a cure gives the plot emotional urgency, while brewing, tasting and reading ingredients become ways to investigate danger and negotiate power.
Leo Timmers
A lively visual story about making a home from mishaps. Its strongest pleasures are comic accidents, inventive machinery, expressive illustrations and the animals’ growing community.
Thiago de Moraes
A lively fantasy about an ordinary child entering an extraordinary school, balancing comic invention with peril, uncertainty and the discovery of friendship. Its invented gods and visual humour are central attractions.
Sally Nicholls
This is a focused contemporary family story about children’s privacy online. It offers a plot-led way to consider sharenting, consent and the consequences when a parent’s public identity depends on children’s visibility.
Claire Fayers
This offers a lively introduction to Welsh folklore through brief, retold stories with magical, humorous and emotionally resonant elements. It may particularly suit shared reading or readers curious about Wales, names and traditional tales.
Saviour Pirotta
A lively first encounter with Greek mythology: ten short, illustrated adventures introduce heroes, monsters, magical objects and transformations. The collection prioritises memorable action and recognisable figures, making it suitable for sharing aloud or dipping into story by story.
John Burningham
Expect energetic visual comedy rather than realism: a previously weak baby becomes superstrong after eating avocado and uses that strength in increasingly surprising situations.
Tom Hoyle
This offers a straightforward survival thriller built around a countdown, extremist beliefs and attacks in a familiar city. Its strongest appeal is likely suspense and danger rather than deeply developed character exploration.
R.M. Ballantyne
Expect a survival adventure led by three boys, with island exploration, natural history, outdoor living and encounters with danger. Its confident Victorian moral outlook is central rather than incidental.
Kieran Larwood
Expect a lively, illustrated fantasy quest built around an underdog team. The story combines dungeon challenges, comic world-building and a friendship arc, while Kit’s impulsive decision creates the central problem.
Jan Thornhill
This is a brisk animal tale about how alarming news spreads. Its strongest features appear to be movement, vivid Indian scenery and a shift from collective panic towards a wiser response.
