Zombie Diaries: Apocalypse Cow! authors Guy Edmonds & Matt Zeremes • illustrator Jake A Minton

JUNIOR FICTION

Can Jimmy and his friends survive the zombie cow apocalypse!?

Hi! I’m Jimmy and I’m living in a totally weird ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE! All of the adults in my town of Buttburgher have turned into zombies, but not the flesh-eating zombies like the ones you see in movies. These zombies are COWS! Literally! Everyone is moo-ing and drooling all over the place!

And if their drool gets on you, you’re toast.

And not the nice sourdough toast from Horatio’s Bakery either.

Crazy, huh? Luckily, my friends and I have a plan to find a cure . . .

In this hilarious zombie-comedy series, author duo Guy Edmonds and Matt Zeremes take readers on a butt-kicking adventure full of cows, explosions, snacks, drool, farts and spaghetti. Perfect for fans of The Bad Guys, The Last Kids on Earth and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. burgher. a town called Butt Anyhoo, I live in - what t you’re thinking Yeah, I know wha used to be is that?!

Gustav and Henri: Volume #2 author Andy Matthews • illustrator Peader Thomas

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

Whether it’s venturing into the drain to find a lost puzzle piece, or exploring a delicious desert island, Gustav and Henri are always up for a madcap adventure, so long as they have each other.

Each book contains three stories in one, for maximum value, and maximum snacks!

Big Magic

MIDDLE-GRADE

author Sarah Armstrong 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 …

Alone author & illustrator Scott Stuart

Earth is an affectionate planet who is looking for a friend. She’s delighted when she spots Sun, but Sun is quick to reject her offer of friendship. ‘I can’t be friends with a planet like you, for I am a star and you are too new.’

PICTURE BOOK

Being alone can be tough, especially in the darkness of space.

As Earth searches the solar system, she’s met with a similar response from the other planets – Mercury only likes friends who are dry, Mars only makes friends with those who are red, and Jupiter only has time for big friends.

When something fiery, red and menacing comes hurtling towards Earth, she fears the worst ... but could it be a sign that something wonderful is about to happen?

Alone is an endearing story about how sometimes our worst moments can lead to the best things in life.

In the darkness of space there shone a great light, as she spun in a circle and turned to the right.

A friend!

she exclaimed and waved her white clouds.

I can’t be friends with a planet like you, for I am a star and you are too new.

Her love for family lifts her up, but her spirits plummet at the stares and whispers that her mother’s sari attracts.

But when Shreya finds herself lost in a crowd, it’s the shimmer of Amma’s sari that leads her to finding pride in her difference.

A powerful reflection on connection with family, the acceptance of difference, and the celebration of cultural heritage.

PICTURE BOOK

A story brimming with joy, generosity and magic from two of Australia’s beloved picture book creators.

When a young girl is given a coin to spend at the market, she thinks carefully about what to use it for. As her family revels in the wondrous sights, sounds and smells of the market, the girl sees lots of things she likes. There are towering stacks of fruit, spinning rides, glass jars filled with sweets – what will she choose?

It’s only when a busker brings the food hall to life with his music that the girl finally knows exactly what to do with her coin.

Carrie Gallasch’s beautiful text evokes the warmth and community of the market, while Hannah Sommerville brings this glorious world to life with rich colour and texture.

We buy melons and avocados.

Croissants and dolmades.

A few oysters and dates.

Dumplings and juicy mangoes.

We get olives and some cheese.

We pass by lots of things.

Plus,

ginormous grapes!

Some I like ...

Welcome to future Earth.

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