Michael Morpurgo
A mysterious island adventure where friendship, fear and compassion matter. Children encounter local suspicion, a bullying family relationship, a stranded narwhal and the disruptive shadow of war.
Marcus Sedgwick
Expect atmospheric Gothic fantasy: a boy investigates unsettling events in a cold, impoverished village while family history and vampire folklore shape the mystery. The tone is menacing, symbolic and sometimes visceral.
Lauren Wolk
This is a historical family story about rebuilding after hardship. Ellie’s practical courage, connection with nature and willingness to help others sit alongside grief, difficult choices and uncertainty about what people have experienced.
Ross Welford
Expect a fast-moving, imaginative adventure in which time travel connects family relationships, grief and responsibility. The story also makes room for humour, friendship and emotional growth, with Al facing both practical dangers and difficult choices.
Katherine Rundell
A sweeping fantasy adventure centred on two young people, a hidden magical world and the struggle to preserve disappearing magic. Expect imaginative creatures, perilous quests and emotionally significant losses alongside companionship, ingenuity and moral responsibility.
