Sophie Kirtley
This is a warm but perilous time-slip adventure about a child coping with frightening family circumstances. Its emotional centre is the growing trust between two boys who must care for one another while trying to return home.
Erin Entrada Kelly
This is a character-led story about four lonely children becoming connected. Its emotional focus is stronger than its action, with distinct voices, friendship and courage developing alongside questions about fate and belonging.
Cornelia Funke
Expect an imaginative, creature-filled adventure centred on finding sanctuary. Friendship, loyalty, courage and environmental loss sit alongside danger, threatening creatures and occasional insulting language.
G.P. Taylor
A fast-moving supernatural adventure places young characters in conflict with corrupt authority. Its strongest features are the shadowy coastline, escalating danger and clear moral stakes; its spiritual allegory is direct rather than subtle.
Jez Alborough
A playful friendship story about two lonely characters whose misunderstanding develops into shared laughter and play. Its rhyming dialogue and expressive artwork suit a read-aloud experience.
