Ruth Chew
A playful fantasy of discovery: Jennifer and Michael find a magical hollow tree and a secret underground world in a park.
Emma Dodd
A gentle, affirming story pairs ocean exploration with a message about self-trust. Its distinctive promise is that following one’s own path does not cancel the security of a loving family relationship.
This looks best suited to a child who enjoys drawing and wants to build a personal collection of celebrated artworks.
Mikołaj Pa
This is a lively shared-reading book centred on noticing who lives in a building, what each neighbour enjoys and how separate activities become a collective celebration.
Luke Pearson
This is a magical forest adventure centred on Hilda and Twig’s partnership. Its distinctive offer is a more active role for Twig, alongside storm sheltering, mysterious surroundings and a rescue-shaped challenge.
Dick King-Smith
A compact, imaginative animal adventure about a rabbit pursuing a seafaring dream. Its appeal appears to lie in an unusual premise, movement towards a new life, and opportunities for gentle humour.
Julia Green
A mysterious, nature-centred adventure about a child seeking greater independence. Its strongest appeal appears to be the combination of wild landscapes, secrets and emotionally charged relationships.
Sue Macy
This is an energetic life story about curiosity, persistence and widening possibilities, linking sporting achievement, scientific work and exploration with Ride’s later efforts to encourage girls and young women in science and mathematics.
Tim Byrd
A high-energy fantasy adventure centred on a family of explorers, with Brian and Wren facing an unusual threat alongside their driver and butler. Its tone appears deliberately extravagant rather than realistic.
Sean Adelman
This appears to be a character-led school adventure about Sam’s relationships, family connections and mysteries, with identity and moral choices at its centre. Its journal framing may offer a personal view of her experiences.
