'Piebald' by Nicola Davies – Moxie has a lot on her plate, caring for her little brother, Ryan, and sick mother, all in a town which the world has more or less abandoned. But life seems to take a turn for the better when a piebald horse and Dylan, Moxie’s long lost Dad, turn up out of the blue.

'Five Nights Out' by Hugh Warwick – Go on a journey with Hugh Warwick as he takes us through his interactions with some of our favourite nocturnal creatures, proving that what goes on at night is every bit as exciting as the daylight hours.

🌟 The Shy Book by Howard Pearlstein and James Munro is OUT NOW

📚 A book wants to be read, it really does, but it’s feeling shy. The book recommends that the reader choose a different book, because surely another book will be better. But what if the reader keeps going?

The book finds a way to tell its story while offering children a simple way to feel brave even when they, like the book, feel shy.
