Sally Gardner
Expect a grim, disorientating fairy tale rather than a reassuring adventure: Otto is often frightened and uncertain, while magic offers power without straightforward control.
Erin Hunter
This is a good fit to explore how siblings can see the same duties differently, within a richly established Clan world. Its continuing-arc structure means the book leaves some mysteries open.
K. E. Payne
A year of diary entries follows Clem through school and shifting relationships. The book explores attraction, rejected advances, family life and the uncertainty of coming out, in an informal voice.
Dan Gutman
A lively historical-fantasy mystery for readers interested in baseball: Joe and his father pursue an unresolved question about Babe Ruth while confronting the unusual possibilities and responsibilities of time travel.
Mary E. Pearson
Expect a character-led fantasy adventure with romantic tension, shifting identities and a heroine negotiating personal freedom against obligations to her country. Its appeal lies in pursuit, hidden histories and gradual character change; the ending continues some series threads rather than resolving every larger question.
Ed Yong
A lively science book for readers who enjoy surprising animal facts and questions about perception. It moves across many species and senses, using illustrations, explanations and researchers’ work to make unfamiliar experiences imaginable.
Frida Nilsson
A warm, unusual story about an orphan girl and a gorilla forming a family, while facing official scrutiny and prejudice. Its humour and tenderness sit alongside uncertainty about belonging and justice.
