Pete Johnson
A comic family-and-school story about a child navigating ambitious parents, a new school and competing ideas about attention. Its main appeal is the child’s perspective on adult expectations and the awkward question of whether independence can become neglect.
Philip Ridley
A comic adventure about an underestimated child confronting a frightening threat, while the adults and children around him face the consequences of past choices. Its imaginative monster story also explores belonging, courage and changing relationships.
Stephanie Blake
Expect a quick, joke-led read built around repetition, animal characters and toilet humour. The visual style is bold and simple, while the plot uses a wolf encounter and a comic reversal.
Dara O Briain
No reliable judgement about its reading experience can be made yet.
Swapna Haddow
