Stephanie Blake
A playful story about facing a first dental visit: Simon is alarmed by Ferdinand’s imagined horrors, but meets a patient dentist and discovers the experience is not painful for him.
Tom Percival
A gentle magical story about hiding a distinctive part of yourself, losing joy through concealment, and finding encouragement to be seen. Its emotional message is carried strongly by changing colour and expressive illustrations.
Cornelia Funke
Expect a brisk, comic swashbuckling story: pirates take Molly, but her courage and cleverness unsettle them. The story’s main pleasure is the reversal of who appears powerful and who needs to be feared.
Erich Kästner
A lively child-led detective adventure: Emil responds to theft by following the suspected criminal through Berlin and working with other children. Its appeal lies in pursuit, teamwork and the contrast between a small town and a large, exciting city.
Gillian Cross
A fast-moving school thriller that turns familiar rules, routines and adult authority into a mechanism of control. Its central tension is whether individuality and independent judgement can survive pressure to comply.
