Hilary McKay

Ntozake Shange, Kadir Nelson
This is a short, poetic remembrance of a childhood home where prominent Black cultural and political figures gathered. Its words are spare, while the paintings make the people, rooms and atmosphere expansive.
Rick Riordan
A lively mythological quest with humour, friendship and a strong sense of movement. Its distinctive idea is that Magnus’s decisive challenge is met through words, healing and understanding rather than fighting alone.
