Jarvis
This is a gentle family story built from sensory seaside memories and a repeated pebble ritual. Its emotional centre is the child’s continuing connection with Grandad after his circumstances change.
Alex Milway
This is an outdoor adventure about a child investigating her grandmother’s disappearance, helping eagles in difficulty and discovering a stronger sense of belonging in the mountain community.
Niki Daly

Michael Foreman
This is a tender, nature-centred story about a boy’s bond with a seal and his grandfather. Its strongest offering is emotional range: delight in the sea sits alongside physical danger, disappearance, the grandfather’s absence and the passage of generations.
Rebecca Green
A warm, imaginative friendship book that treats caring for a ghost as an everyday responsibility. It combines playful instructions and gross-out food details with a broader portrait of companionship lasting through major changes in life.
Anna Ciddor
This is a brisk time-slip adventure with a strong historical backdrop, combining moon-landing excitement with an intimate story about family, memory, change and the emotional effects of loss.
Jackie Kay

Caroline B. Cooney
This is a road-trip story about an inexperienced driver caring for fragile older passengers while discovering the depth and staying power of their friendship. Its emotional centre appears to be connection across generations.
Gemma Malley
A speculative story about a society that has traded having children for extremely long lives. Anna’s Surplus status places her inside a conflict between law, personal choice and the value attached to longevity.
