Phoenix Yard Books Spring 2015

Dave Lowe, Squirrel Boy vs the Bogeyman

Glenda Millard, The Tender Moments of Saffron Silk

Phoenix Yard Books is an independent children’s publisher situated in between wobbled cobbled walls and wooden beams of a converted yard and brewery near King’s Cross in London.

Winner – Best Newcomer Publisher – IPG Awards 2013 No one in Norway will forget what happened last December. They don’t need to read The Disappearing Children, the story of Finn Popps and his dad - the taxi driver who formed the More Party and became Prime Minister. But why would UK readers want to read a Scandinavian cult satire of politicians and populism, around about May 2015?

Well, I couldn’t possibly insinuate…

And so, our spring 2015 list is (nearly) all about the fiction and funny. This year also sees the launch of Squirrel Boy, comedy for younger readers (7-10s) about a highly unlikely superhero, written by Dave Lowe and illustrated in comic-style panels by Phoenix Yard favourite, Cate James.

Or, if you’d rather switch off from politics, and radioactive squirrels are not to your taste, why not try our new One and Only Colouring Book series? Perfect for all ages, stages and phases of creativity.

The Disappearing Children Author Lars Joachim Grimstad Translators Don Bartlett & Siân Mackie

NEW

Bestselling madcap Scandinavian comedy is on the campaign trail for the General Election 2015.

Finn is the youngest son of Norway’s new Prime Minister. Until recently, Finn’s dad was a taxi driver, and after years spent listening to the electorate complaining in the back seat of his cab, Teddy Popps is idealy placed to form his More Party, who, against all predictions, are voted into power.

But everything is not well in Finn’s new, grand surroundings: his new brother, a gift from a devious dictator in a faraway land, is acting strangely; and, one-by-one, the children in Finn’s new school start to disappear...

April the Red Goldfish

Author Marjolaine Leray

Translator Sarah Ardizzone

A stylish new picturebook from the creator of Little Red Hood.

April doesn’t have an easy time of being a goldfish, not least because she is in fact a red fish. A teenager plagued with angst and boredom, April spins round and round in her tank, searching for the meaning of life and dreaming of exotic travels and encounters, while philosophising Hamletstyle on life’s big questions. But how will she ever escape from her glass prison? And where to? Outside, a black cat is waiting for her and a battle of wits ensues. Who will pull off the ultimate April fool?

Author Marjolaine Leray

Translator Sarah Ardizzone

She started life as a little red scribble and then, there she was: a Little Red Hood, barely recognisable as the legend from the fairy tale. The wolf is still big and bad, but he also happens to be really, really dumb. Our Little Red Hood questions the wolf’s personal hygiene before tricking her predator into his demise: this is one cool little red scrawl with her head screwed on.

Lollipop and Grandpa are intrepid explorers, always on the lookout for the next adventure. Underpinning the series is the relationship between an intelligent, inquisitive little girl and her mischievous grandparent.

“Grandpa loves the wild” and he takes Lollipop on safari in the garden with binoculars and a picnic. There, his imagination conjures fearsome dangers, including a hippo-potta- and a slippery Snake-Pipe. Lollipop seems unperturbed, until a roar from a clothes-lion has the two of them hurtling home.
