Candie Moonshower

David Walliams
Expect a fast-moving, illustrated fantasy adventure in which Prince Alfred confronts danger beyond the palace while trying to save his mother and others. Humour sits alongside suspense, sadness, destruction and a noticeably darker atmosphere.

Anita Ganeri
This offers a broad introduction to earthquakes, combining causes and scientific ideas with historical examples, folklore and practical information about prediction and survival. Its humour and cartoons are central to the presentation.
Johanna Haney
This offers a science-led introduction to natural disasters, linking volcanoes, earthquakes, fires and other events with climate-change concerns, prevention and practical activities. It may suit a child who enjoys factual exploration and learning by doing.
Claire Saxby and Jess Racklyeft
A dramatic underwater sequence introduces earthquakes, scattering sea creatures, lava and the birth of a volcanic mountain. The book’s central appeal is discovery through natural-world imagery and science.
