Rob Wilshaw
This is a visual, information-rich introduction to fossils and the changing history of life. Readers can move between people, periods, creatures and diagrams rather than follow one continuous narrative.
Penny Boxall
This is a clue-led historical adventure about a young protagonist acting under pressure to help her imprisoned father. It offers travel, ancient objects, a companionable magpie and a mystery that links art and evidence.
Alasdair Beckett-King
Expect a comic detective adventure centred on Bonnie’s Montgomery Bonbon persona and a mysterious death at a local museum. The case sits alongside absurd earlier crimes, including diamond recovery and owl-smuggling.
Catherine Cawthorne
A lively fact-checking book that uses well-known fairy tales to prompt scientific questions. Its humour, detailed artwork and practical games make investigation feel playful rather than like a lesson.
Ziggy Hanaor
This is a playful classification story: a creature’s confident claim leads other animals to investigate its characteristics. Readers encounter animal-grouping ideas while following a comic mystery, with bold, simple artwork adding visual clues and opportunities for noticing.
