Lauren Child
A school invention project gives Charlie and Marv a challenge, and Lola may bring fresh ideas. The story centres on trying to make something new when the task proves harder than expected.
Monica Brown
Choose this for a short introduction to Gabriela Mistral, especially if the child enjoys poetry, languages, imaginative pictures or stories about how childhood interests can develop into creative and educational work.
Kate Pankhurst
A lively introduction to women’s contributions across history and different fields, presented through colourful illustrations, short profiles, facts and quotations. Its page-by-page structure supports dipping in, revisiting individual figures and noticing links between personal achievement and wider social change.
Paul Harfleet
This is a visually contrasting, rhyming story about a boy who loves the natural world, faces homophobic bullying at school, and develops a plan to reclaim his school through creativity and nature.
Katherine Paterson
This is an emotionally serious friendship story rather than a straightforward adventure. Its imagined kingdom, school conflicts and family pressures lead into an unsoftened account of bereavement.
Dave Eggers
Expect a playful creative-process story rather than a straightforward adventure: Soren experiments, receives blunt reactions and keeps revising. Its humour includes a friend vomiting at an early song, alongside warmth about friendship and improvement.
Joseph Coelho
Choose this for shared, lively poetry reading: it combines performance, humour and imaginative wordplay with opportunities to experiment with poetic forms and invent poems together.
