Lara Hawthorne
This is an imaginative animal adventure with a clear home-and-exploration shape, enriched by detailed wildlife imagery and factual material about a real rat and its rainforest habitat.
David Long
Readers get a varied set of true survival accounts, from exploration and shipwreck to accidents and medical crises, with illustrations highlighting pivotal moments. The emphasis is on extraordinary ordeals rather than one continuous narrative.
Andy McNab
This is a practical, illustrated guide that treats survival broadly: outdoor preparation and emergencies sit alongside city safety and online risks. Its appeal lies in actionable scenarios, visual references and concise sections rather than a continuous story.
Enid Blyton
A classic-style children’s adventure built around a coastal mystery, teamwork and discovery. Expect suspense from dangerous rocks, suspicious night-time signals, local wrongdoing and the children’s determination to investigate without adult direction.
Yuval Zommer
This is a fact-rich visual tour of flowers, moving from basic botany and plant parts to habitats, pollination, unusual species, threats to plants and ways to grow flowers.
Stephen Krensky
A colourful introduction to legendary creatures from around the world, combining brief factual profiles with illustrations, maps and references to the traditions that shaped each story. It offers a browsable starting point for exploring mythology, folklore and the links between legends and real-world observations.
Sam Taplin
This is an information-led pirate book with jokes and colourful illustrations, rather than a sustained fictional adventure. It offers accessible facts about ships, sailing, pirate life and historical figures through a playful guidebook voice.
Saviour Pirotta
A lively first encounter with Greek mythology: ten short, illustrated adventures introduce heroes, monsters, magical objects and transformations. The collection prioritises memorable action and recognisable figures, making it suitable for sharing aloud or dipping into story by story.
A strong choice for shared reading about engineering, history, the sea and visual detail. Its lyrical writing gives factual material atmosphere, while the illustrations show both the scale of lighthouses and the force of their surroundings.
