Deanna Kent
Ophelia is set a diamond-stealing challenge, while Oscar’s inventions and a rival cousin add complications. The caper combines a mystery-adventure plot with comic illustrations and frequent feline puns.
Russell Freedman
A lively introduction to Franklin’s changing roles, from printer and experimenter to civic organiser and statesman. It presents a broad historical journey supported by period images and reference material, with perseverance and inventive thinking prominent in the portrait.
Jen Bryant
A visually rich biography about how Peter Mark Roget’s love of words and lists developed into the thesaurus. It combines personal history with ideas about language, organisation, medicine, invention and learning.
Kij Johnson
This is a gentle-looking animal fantasy that combines recognisable characters and riverside adventures with a deliberate response to an older classic. Its strongest appeal may be the meeting of nostalgic atmosphere, humour, illustrations and fresh female perspectives.
