• Title : Monkey Magic
  Author: Lucy Courtenay
  

  Featuring tiger cubs, circus bears, swimming monkeys and cute koalas - this is a must-read series for all animal lovers!

  
  

  Twins Tori and Taya Wild disagree about almost everything ... except for their love of animals - which is good since their mother fosters all kinds of wild animals so their house is almost always full of them! But now their house has gone up in flames and the family's animal film business is struggling to get off its feet. And as if Taya doesn't have enough to worry about, Tori is making new friends without her. But when a request comes in for a swimming troupe of monkeys, things are looking up. They've got the monkeys - now they have to train them. If only Taya could swim ... It's lights, cameras, MONKEYS!

  
  

• Title : 2: Natalie's Bridesmaid Blues
  Author: Kate Costelloe
  

  Natalie's super skinny sister Plum is getting married and the pressure is on for Nat to lose weight so that she 'fits in' as a bridesmaid on the day. Natalie's slim, but curvier than either of sisters, and taller too. No way is she a size zero, and her friends are determined that she doesn't diet down to nothing. But once Nat gets into the polystyrene rice cakes and cottage cheese AND starts losing weight, she can't help feeling a bit pleased with the new skinnier her. Lexie, Billie, Ella and Oliver (who has had a crush on Nat since forever) are all worried, determined to make her see sense. But having an Alpha boy like Ewan Hendricks interested her is just too tempting for Natalie Bonneville St John. Can her BFFs convince her she's going too far?

  Once there was a dragon who was convinced he was TOTALLY TERRIFYING. One look at himself in the mirror and he nearly jumped out of his skin. He thought his neighbours were terrified of him too...
  
  So one day, the dragon decided to leave home. But on his journey he met a witch and giant who were also convinced they were TOTALLY TERRIFYING!
  
  The terrifying three went along together until they met a toddler who showed them that they were not so scary after all!

  
  

• Title : Undead Ed and the Demon Freakshow
  Author: David Grimstone
  

  Forget everything you've ever seen or heard about werewolves, zombies and vampires because Ed Bagley's going to tell you the single most important fact you'll ever learn: BEING UNDEAD SUCKS ... especially if you're a kid.
  
  As if Ed hasn't enough problems, he's now being hunted by a demented clown, an evil midget and a girl with a sewn up eye. You'd think he wouldn't have much to worry about, being damned to start with, but Ed's beginning to learn that there's something a lot worse than the flames of hell ... An undead circus.

  
  

• Title : My Name is Mina
  Author: David Almond
  

  There's an empty notebook lying on the table in the moonlight. It's been there for an age. I keep on saying that I'll write a journal. So I'll start right here, right now. I open the book and write the very first words: My name is Mina and I love the night. Then what shall I write? I can't just write that this happened then this happened then this happened to boring infinitum. I'll let my journal grow just like the mind does, just like a tree or a beast does, just like life does. Why should a book tell a tale in a dull straight line?
  
  And so Mina writes and writes in her notebook, and here is her journal, Mina's life in Mina's own words: her stories and dreams, experiences and thoughts, her scribblings and nonsense, poems and songs. Her vivid account of her vivid life. In this stunning book, David Almond revisits Mina before she has met Michael, before she has met Skellig.
