Young ones will enjoy spending time with a sweet Scottie dog in this colourful and sturdy board book, which is full of bright and dynamic illustrations and lots of fun details to spot.

Twelve-year-old Manx Fearty is an orphan (his family has a terrible habit of dying, terribly), and now he’s about to lose their perpetual device shop to sinister newcomers claiming to be long-lost relatives. As he sets out to prove them wrong, Manx finds himself on the trail of a murky, mist-muddled mystery — and it’s one he needs to solve fast, otherwise Haarville is doomed.

With the help of his fiercely protective drag-queen guardian Father G (aka the fabulous Gloria in Excelsis), loyal best friend Fantoosh, and oystercatcher-with-attitude Olu, Manx wades through secrets, schemes and some stomach-churning seafood. Can he save both his family’s legacy and his town?

Darkly comic but full of heart, this quirky middle-grade mystery adventure from Justin Davies, award-winning author of Help! I Smell a Monster and Whoa! I Spy a Werewolf (Orchard Books), is perfect for fans of Malamander and A Series of Unfortunate Events.

With its shining bricks the colour of midnight, and rich scents of melting chocolate and exotic spices, it’s easy to see why inquisitive Mirren isn’t the only one bewitched by the magical store. Behind the Emporium’s red velvet curtain lies a palace of unimaginable treasures ï ¿ ½- glittering jewels and gleaming gold, sparkling diamonds and shining armour.

But hidden among these wonders, something sinister is lurking. The Emporium is under the control of a menacing figure in a top hat who calls himself Vindictus Sharpe. Who is he? And where is the Emporium’s rightful owner, Daniel?

Return to a world where imagination is power and anything is possible in the heart-stopping finale to the multi-award-winning Nowhere Emporium trilogy.

Historically detailed illustrations from Elena Bia bring life to a gripping story from author Michelle Sloan.
