People aren't always what they play.
Twelve-year-old Maren is sure theater camp isn’t for her. Theater camp is for loud, confident, artsy people: people like her older sister, Hadley—the last person Maren wants to think about—and her cinema-obsessed, nonbinary bunkmate,
Theo. But when a prank goes wrong, Maren gets drawn into the hunt for a diamond ring that, legend has it, is linked to the camp’s namesake, Charlotte “Charlie” Goodman, a promising director in blacklist-era Hollywood.
When Maren connects the clues to Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, she and her new friends are off searching through lighting booths, orchestra pits, and costume storages, discovering the trail and dodging camp counselors. But they’re not the
only ones searching for the ring, and with the growing threat of camp closing forever, they're almost out of time.
In her compelling debut, Janet Key crafts a heartwarming mystery about finding your people and accepting others as they are.
Becky always loved visiting her dad in New Zealand until she returns during the pandemic.
Now he’s got a baby with her new stepmum and everything has changed. Worse still, her windsurfer hasn’t arrived yet, so there’s nothing for her to do but wait for Mum who is stuck overseas.
Then Becky finds a strange stone at Whale Bay and her luck changes. She makes new friends, joins an environmental group, borrows a windsurfer, and has several close encounters with a bottlenose dolphin who simply won’t leave her alone.
But what is wrong with the dolphin? Is it trying to tell her something? Is it sick? And who are the people poaching fish from the marine reserve? How is it all connected? Becky must find a way to solve it all.
Just Keep Going is a story of blended families, new friendships, marine pollution, a magical stone, a persistent dolphin, and a young girl with a strong will to succeed, adapting to life in a new country.
Patsy Noakes’s life is rubbish. All she's got are her pet Guinea Pig Freddy, her best friend Timmy and her dance classes after school.…and she hates school because of horrible Brittani, but maybe things are about to change!
During a scary, freak thunderstorm Patsy discovers something unbelievable (and very strange). Can her favourite sweets really be magic? Sweets can’t grant wishes, can they? It seems to Patsy that they just might, when she wishes for something and it comes true.
Patsy’s going to have fun testing her theory out! Her best friend Timmy will definitely want to ‘help’, with a few wishes of his own. The first thing Patsy’s going to wish for is to stop horrible Brittani from calling her ‘Cow Pat’ every day at school. That’s when the fun really starts!
Can wishes really come true? Would it really be that brilliant to have what you wished for anyway? Join Patsy and Timmy to find out in this tale of friendship and school days.

Очень добрая и светлая фантастическая повесть о важности семейных уз, о дружбе и чувстве локтя, о взаимопомощи и умении прощать обидчиков, о путешествиях во времени и чудесах истории. Главные герои книги — трое подростков: недавно перешедший в новую школу Глеб Елизаров, мечтатель-отличник Юра Карасев и погрязшая в домашних делах Лена Зюзина. Всё началось с того, что во время незапланированной экскурсии на раскопки старинного сооружения, якобы относящегося к цивилизации майя, Глеб выцарапал рядом с древней надписью текущую дату: 23.05.2013. И новый день для него и двоих одноклассников, оказавшихся рядом, не наступил. Вернулся предыдущий. Отсчёт времени пошёл в обратную сторону… Каково это — заново прожить день, в котором ты уже был? Ребята отчаянно пытаются понять, как им вернуться в своё время, как спастись…

Teensie has just been struck by lightning and is hearing a strange voice! Join him as he learns about his new-found power and imagines the things he can accomplish with it!
A message from Teensie:
Being in a tank has its advantages. Primarily, people forget that I’m there. I mean, let’s be realistic for a moment, even when they do remember I’m around, they don’t see me as a threat.
I’m just a harmless goldfish.
But that’s not my full story. See, I’m more than just a goldfish. I can talk - and the people I talk to can understand me.
I live with an amazing family, Melinda and her father, who are doing everything they can do to keep me safe and give me the life I dream about.
Melinda has her books, and I have mine. This is my side of the story. In Tales From the Tank you’ll hear about what actually goes on in the Longers' home, and out in the community!
Come with me, and let me take you underwater to experience the adventure my way!
