Fiction

Gustav and Henri: Volume #1 author Andy Matthews • illustrator Peader Thomas

JUNIOR FICTION

Opposites attract in this humorous graphic novel series about best friends Gustav and Henri.

Gustav is a goofy, optimistic and naively enthusiastic pig. Henri is a grounded, pragmatic and quietly sceptical dog. They are as drawn to each other as they are to the weird and ridiculous. Which is a lot.

Whether it’s venturing into space to find a lost shuttlecock, or shrinking to the size of microbes to fight a cold, Gustav and Henri are always up for a madcap adventure, so long as they have each other.

With the visual appeal of Narwhal and Jelly, the irresistible humour of Dog Man and the value of Real Pigeons (with three stories in one volume), this is the perfect series for kids who love comics and funny stories.

Big Magic author Sarah Armstrong

MIDDLE-GRADE

Magic never goes wrong - right?

When a circus trick goes horribly wrong and star magician Merry disappears in front of her daughter, Tulsi, everyone believes Merry’s gone forever. But then 11-year-old Tulsi discovers one tiny, impossible sliver of hope for bringing her mother back. If Tulsi learns enough Big Magic before the next full moon, she just might be able to rescue Merry by travelling to a parallel universe – a world where Tulsi has never been born, and one which holds the key to saving their circus.

There are reasons it’s all but impossible: it can take a lifetime to learn Big Magic.

Tulsi has never done any magic at all. And the only person who can teach her is her estranged grandmother, Sylvie – a strange, unlikeable woman who was banned for ten years from doing Big Magic herself …

Seventeen-year-old Priscilla Daalman’s entire family are Hollow Warriors – legendary monster hunters charged with killing evil beasts from beyond our universe.

She’s desperate to live up to that legacy, but she’s convinced neither she, nor her superpower – the ability to sense Hollow energy – is up to the task.

DRAFT COVER

Now, Priscilla must protect her loved ones – her heartbroken ex-girlfriend, her mysterious new boyfriend, even her fierce warrior family – from supernatural monsters, and also from herself. Because if her power gets out, all hell will break loose … and Priscilla will risk losing everything.

Tim Te Maro and the Subterranean Heartsick Blues author H.S. Valley YOUNG ADULT

Red, White & Royal Blue meets The Magicians in this surprising, wildly original and joyously funny romantic comedy set in a magical boarding school.

Tim Te Maro and Elliott Parker – classmates at Fox Glacier High School for the Magically Adept – have never gotten along.

But when they both get dumped the day before the big egg-baby assignment, they team up to get back at their exes.

When the two boys start to bond over their magically enchanted egg-baby, they realise that beneath their animosity is something like friendship … or physical attraction. Soon, a no-strings-attached hook-up seems like a good idea. Just for the duration of the assignment. After all, they don’t have feelings for each other … so what could possibly go wrong?

From debut Kiwi author H.S. Valley, the latest winner of the Ampersand Prize, comes this gleefully addictive LGBTQ romantic comedy that’s perfect for fans of Rainbow Rowell and David Levithan. In a word – it’s magic.

Ampersand Prize winner!

Happily Ever Afterwards: A Tale From A Taller Forest MIDDLE-GRADE

author Shaun Micallef • illustrator Paula Bossio Smart, satirical and deliciously silly!

In the much-anticipated follow-up to Shaun Micallef’s award-winning Tales from a Tall Forest, the Queen of Tancred and her royal retinue are on a mission: to ensure all the citizens of Tancred are happy. But that’s a lot harder than it sounds - especially when the Happiness Tour accidentally stumbles into the neighbouring region of Hamelin. Oops.

Soon, Queen Mathilde smells a rat. A whole kingdom of them, in fact … because Hamelin has been overrun with rodents. Why is a rat on the throne? Where are all of Hamelin’s children? And what is happiness anyway?

The answers - presented in Micallef’s signature fairytale-twisting style - will surprise you!

Happily Ever Afterward With a final wave to her cheering courtiers, she stepped into the Royal Wagon and took her seat between an excited Gretel and Hansel, who were both blowing kisses to the crowd.

Philip’s books have been translated into multiple languages and published in over 25 countries around the world. Since his first book was published in 2017, Philip has received multiple accolades, including Honours from the Children’s Book Council of Australia, and making the list for the Kate Greenaway Medal in 2018.

Welcome to future Earth.

Our oceans have become polluted to such an extent that all marine life is now just a memory.

Rising from the murky depths stirs new mechanical life, created by humans and now evolving outside any control.

These new species have grown to threaten humanity as we know it.

Welcome to the world of Aquatica.
