What Not to Do If You Turn Invisible
An astonishing and funny novel about a girl who – by disappearing – will write herself into your heart for ever…

Twelve-year-old Ethel only meant to cure her spots, not turn herself invisible.

It’s terrifying at first – and exciting – but the effect fails to wear off and Ethel is thrown
into a heart-stopping adventure as she struggles to conceal her invisibility while
uncovering the biggest secret of all: who she really is.

The 1,000-year-old Boy
There are stories about people who want to live forever.

This is not one of those stories.

This is a story about someone who wants to stop��

Alfie Monk is like any other nearly teenage boy �C except he��s 1,000 years old and can remember the last Viking invasion of England.

Obviously no one believes him.

So when everything Alfie knows and loves is destroyed in a fire, and the modern world comes crashing in, Alfie embarks on a mission to find friendship, acceptance, and a different way to live��

�� which means finding a way to make sure he will eventually die.

The Dog Who Saved the World
��One of my favourite middle-grade writers�� Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink and Stars

When eleven-year-old Georgie befriends an eccentric retired scientist, she becomes the test subject for a thrilling new experiment: a virtual-reality 3D version of the future.

But then a deadly disease threatens the life of every dog in the country and Georgie��s beloved dog, Mr Mash, gets sick. And that��s only the start of her troubles.

Soon, Georgie and Mr Mash must embark on a desperate quest: to save every dog on earth, and maybe even all of humanity ��

�� without actually leaving the room.

The Kid Who Came from Space
A small village in the wilds of Northumberland is rocked by the disappearance of twelve-year-old Tammy. Only her twin brother, Ethan, knows she is safe �C and the extraordinary truth of where she is. It is a secret he must keep, or risk never seeing her again.

But that doesn��t mean he��s going to give up.

Together with his friend Iggy and the mysterious (and very hairy) Hellyann, Ethan teams up with a spaceship called Philip, and Suzy the trained chicken, for a nail-biting chase to get his sister back�� that will take him further than anyone has ever been before.

When We Got Lost in Dreamland
When eleven-year-old Malky and his younger brother Seb become the owners of a ��Dreaminator��, they are thrust into worlds beyond their wildest imagination.

From tree-top flights and Spanish galleons, to thrilling battles and sporting greatness �C it seems like nothing is out of reach when you can share a dream with someone else.

But�� impossible dreams come with incredible risks, and when Seb won��t wake up and is taken to hospital in a coma, Malky is forced to leave reality behind and undertake a final, terrifying journey to the stone-age to wake his brother��

Into the Sideways World
When twelve-year-olds Willa and Manny hear of a mysterious animal prowling their town, they are determined to prove it is real. Following the creature into a cave one full moon, they are swept into an alternate, ideal, world �C one where pollution and conflict have been conquered decades ago and even their own families seem happier.

But when they return, no one believes them. So, with a global war looming in their own world, their quest for proof of the Sideways World becomes ever-more urgent, in a nail-biting race against time.

And Willa and Manny will have to make an impossible decision: because once you find a perfect world, can you ever leave it behind . . .?
