A feel-good, laugh-out-loud, packed-with-pictures Tom Gates story!
Tom Gates is Ha! Ha! HILARIOUS!
He's created brand new comic *Ants In Pants* to make everyone (even Delia) laugh.
Inspiration for his new comic is everywhere! There's Mr Keen's unicycle mishap and their NEW supply teacher Miss Jam (whose first name is NOT Strawberry or Traffic - but it should be). Class 5F LOVE Miss Jam's lessons. Mr Fullerman, not so much.
But.. when Tom's comic falls into the wrong hands, everything starts to go wrong.
How will he get himself out of this Mess? How will he make everyone laugh again? Will Marcus help him out? Hmmm... maybe.

Loki's fourth doodle-packed diary in the number one best-selling series.
Loki has made a fair few enemies during his time in Asgard. Too many to count and certainly too many to remember. When the elf, Vinir beams Loki aboard his chariot and challenges him to a magical duel, Loki hasn't got a clue why.
Sweet talking his way out of a fight by pointing out there's little honour in duelling someone who can't remember how they wronged you, and even less in picking on a child, Loki is returned safely to school.
That is until Vinir shows up in child form, as resolute as ever about seeking that duel... and vengeance.

A 12-year-old girl wins an invitation to train as an apprentice to immortals in the first book of the new must-read magical series destined to take the world by storm — perfect for fans of Amari and the Night Brothers and Skandar.
Let the competition begin!
An outsider in her village above the cloud sea, 12-year-old orphan Yeung Zhi Ging’s only hope of escape is to win the single invitation to train as an apprentice to the immortals. After her ill-fated attempt to impress the Silhouette scout leads to a dragon attack on the jade mountain, Zhi Ging is sure that her chances, and her life, are over. But the scout spots her potential and offers her protection and a second chance. She’s in.
In her lessons in Hok Woh, the underwater realm of the immortals, Zhi Ging must face the challenging trials set by her teachers to prove that she’s worthy of being a Silhouette—despite her rivals' attempts to sabotage her. But as Zhi Ging’s power grows, so do the rumours of the return of the Fui Gwai, an evil spirit that turns people into grey-eyed thralls.
When the impossible happens and the Fui Gwai attack the Silhouettes, can Zhi Ging use her newly uncovered talents to save her friends and the world beyond? Or will the grey-eyed spirit consume them all?

A hilarious and action-packed new graphic novel following a feline secret agent who will do whatever it takes to save the world - even if it means destroying a few things along the way.
The Super-Secret Spy Service's mission is to keep the world safe from villains. And Agent 9 is one of its best operatives. Although Nine always manages to complete the mission, there is occasionally some collateral damage (like the priceless Pigasso painting that was destroyed while foiling an art heist). So Agent 9 is now on probation.
But when supervillain King Crab manages to overtake S4 headquarters, there is no one else to turn to. Nine, along with a robotic partner named FiN, is all that stands between King Crab and his plans to melt the polar ice caps and build a massive water park. Can Agent 9 prove to be the right cat for the job by overcoming impulsive behavior and saving the world from a flood-a-geddon?
