Welcome to The Game – an exciting summer camp where you will make new friends, build resilience and test your limits! You will be put into a team of five with strangers, no screens, no shortcuts. Everyone starts from scratch and has to make friends and find a way to the finish line together.

Tig has been packed off to Game Camp to gain confidence, but is immediately wary of the other team members: bossy and ultra-competitive Maya, intense Joni, grumpy screen-addicted Frank and quiet, sporty Jake. They are all so different: but must find a way to work together. They embark on a series of physical and mental challenges, with Tig (and therefore the reader) choosing the path. When the team start noticing strange things happening around them in the woods – ghostly noises, wild weather and suspicious-looking Game Camp staff – they uncover a mystery to solve. Will you lead the team to victory, or into chaos? And will they all find out a lot about their true selves during the process…? You, the reader, will make choices for the team throughout this story. YOU are in charge of the Game!

A funny, relatable, moving story about online fame vs reality.

Meet Ethan Lacey, online vlogging sensation alongside his mum, dad and big brother Mason.

They film and upload everyday life for their million subscribers to enjoy – the pranks, the cosy family time, the perks like going to the opening of an epic new theme park. They are the perfect family… aren’t they?

But reality is not all fun and freebies. Mum and Dad have been arguing a lot recently and Mason has been picking on Ethan. When the cracks start to show, can Ethan persuade his family to fix the real world, not fixate on the online one?

• The second book by multi-award-shortlisted (including the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize) author James Fox.
• Told with James’ trademark blend of observational humour and glorious heart, with an utterly relatable and loveable main character and a smart, nuanced take on Instagram/YouTube vs Reality.
• The message is about being present and enjoying the everyday moments of life in an authentic, happy way.

Fred can’t make a decision about anything –

his parents always tell him what to do, from what to eat every day to which secondary school to choose.

that’s how Fred has found himself a pupil at the high-pressure, strict Gains School, when he’d much rather be going to Browtree, with its brilliant art department and kind teachers.

As Fred waits for the bus to his new school, he sees the bus for Browtree pull up – and a wild, thrilling, thought strikes him. Should he jump on this bus and pretend he’s a new student at Browtree?

Will he be brave enough to follow a different path for once?

You, the reader, will stand in Fred’s shoes and make decisions alongside him throughout this story. You’ll help him stand-up for what he believes in, learn what he truly loves to do, make good friends and face choices about whether to swerve or walk into drama.

It’s not easy to fit in when you’re the boy in the suit…

Ten-year-old Solo – embarrassingly, that isn’t short for anything – just wants to be normal.

He wants a name that doesn’t stand out. He wishes he had a proper school uniform that fitted him. He dreams about a mum who doesn’t get the Big Bad Reds, like his mum Morag.

But most of all he longs to stop crashing funerals for the free food.

But when Solo and Morag crash the funeral of a celebrity and get caught, the press are there to witness their humiliation. The next day it’s splashed across the papers. Before Solo knows it, he becomes a viral sensation, and life may never be normal again.

Solo’s uphill pursuit of security, community and connection will break your heart and then mend it.
