A practical, illustrated introduction to habitats and conservation, moving between wildlife facts and achievable actions. It may help children connect distant environmental concerns with things they can do closer to home.
Melissa Albert
A dark, atmospheric fantasy for readers who enjoy folklore, mystery and psychological unease. Alice’s search for her mother carries questions about trust, belonging and who has the right to shape a story.
Michael Foreman
This is a tender, nature-centred story about a boy’s bond with a seal and his grandfather. Its strongest offering is emotional range: delight in the sea sits alongside physical danger, disappearance, the grandfather’s absence and the passage of generations.
M. M. Vaughan
A friendship-centred science-fiction novel with humour, mystery and emotional weight. Its central contrast—one friend human and one an android—invites readers to think about identity, belonging and the qualities that make relationships meaningful.
Holly Bourne
This is a serious relationship-abuse novel that builds understanding gradually rather than presenting events straightforwardly. Its emotional centre is Amelie's attempt to recognise manipulation, recover perspective and regain control.
Cynthia Murphy
This offers a brisk supernatural mystery rooted in London, drama, museum history and identity. Its appeal lies in clues, red herrings and links between attacks across time, alongside Niamh’s new friendships and possible romance.
Daniel Defoe
Expect a survival adventure driven by resourcefulness, solitude and danger. Its interest also lies in Crusoe’s changing relationship with fear and faith, alongside troubling material involving captivity, slavery and colonial power.
Jill Tomlinson
A gentle, episodic story about meeting fear with curiosity. Plop’s conversations introduce several ways of understanding darkness, alongside owl facts and moments of comic mishap as he learns to manage a new experience.
Astrid Lindgren
Expect anarchic humour, imaginative adventures and a central character who challenges adult authority. Pippi’s friendships, confidence and physical strength drive the fun, while the episodic structure offers distinct comic situations rather than one tightly unfolding plot.
Kenneth Grahame
Expect a gently comic adventure in which a boy, a dragon and St George confront expectations about what dragons and heroes should be. The story makes room for poetry, friendship and a staged solution rather than presenting fighting as the only answer.
