Jeanne Birdsall
Expect a warm family adventure built around four sisters with distinct personalities, their father, and Jeffrey, a boy they meet during a summer stay at Arundel estate.
Dav Pilkey
This is comic-book fantasy whose possible appeal lies in its use of superhero humour and school-based conflict.
Enid Blyton
Expect imaginative, episodic fantasy: children explore changing magical lands, meet memorable inhabitants and encounter both treats and danger. The story’s cosy, conversational narration sits alongside distinctly old-fashioned social assumptions.
Wendy Orr
Expect a nature-centred adventure in which Nim’s resourcefulness and relationships with animal companions matter.
David Wiesner
A playful visual mystery about frogs whose nighttime flight briefly transforms an ordinary town. Its strongest offering is the freedom to notice details, connect images and construct a personal version of events.
Matty Long
This is a treasure-seeking pirate adventure built around movement, obstacles and comic shipboard details. The combination of stormy travel, rival pirates and visual detail may make it particularly suitable for shared looking and prediction.
