Meg and Ash are a pair of magpies who are building a nest for their perfect

eggs. Although they begin their nest construction using the usual mud, sticks

and grass, Meg and Ash are soon convinced that their nest doesn't have

enough stuff and begin to seek out more things to collect and add to an ever-

growing pile. From cuckoo clocks to mops and socks, a stroller and even a car

Hello Friend! tells the story of one big-hearted and enthusiastic little girl who is insistent

on making friends with a certain little boy. And why wouldn't he want to be friends with

her? She's very good at sharing - even if it's a sandwich that he doesn't like. And she's

certain that playing outside is their favourite thing to do, even if he is not so sure. But

while he doesn't seem keen on many of the things that she loves to do, there is one

thing he's very keen on after all: being friends.

A beautifully illustrated, wittily observed picture book about kindness, empathy and

friendship from the award-winning Rebecca Cobb.

It's Christmastime, but Gus is not a fan. He doesn't like carols, or cake, or

Christmas sweaters. And he certainly doesn't like mistletoe.

For Gus, a tree is only good for one thing, and it's not for hanging baubles on!

But can everyone's favourite grump learn to love the season of goodwill?

This brilliantly funny story will appeal to everyone who loves Christmas - and

to all those Scrooges who don't!

The Orphans of St Halibut'sby Sophie Wills, illustrated by David Tazzyman

Lemony Snicket meets Roald Dahl in The Orphans of St Halibut's, ahilarious and quirky middle-grade about orphans, friendship, and thepower of the underdog, from debut author Sophie Wills.

Life at St Halibut's Home for Waifs and Strays has been idyllic for two months,

ever since the children buried their matron (don't look at us like that - it was an

accident!). Helpfully, the not-so-dear departed matron left behind a surprisingly

large stash of money, which will keep them in black-market lemon sherbets for

the rest of their lives! Tig, Stich, and Herc just have to make sure nobody finds

out they're on their own.

But when they find out that St Halibuts is to be inspected by DEATH (the

Department for Education, Assimilation, Training and Health), they start to

panic. They'll need to convince the inspector that everything is peachy or

they'll be sent to the Mending House - where badly-behaved orphans go,

never to return.

As the big day approaches the children start to think they might just pull it off. But when the inspector arrives, things don't just go wrong, they get spectacularly out of hand. It turns out the orphans have far more to worry about than just the inspection! They will need a miracle to save them, but all they have is Arfur, the con-man, and the children of St Cod's, their sworn enemies. Can dastardly deeds and treacherous trickery save their home?

Author Bio Sophie Wills grew up in Essex, England. She had a weekend job at a

boarding kennels where she suffered workplace bullying from a goat and

nurtured a dream to have a career she could do in her pyjamas. She worked

at two London publishers before finally achieving her ambition by going

freelance in 2003. She entered Mumsnet's first Bedtime Story competition in

2012 and Michael Rosen chose her story about a pig-riding sheriff as the

winner. Since then, she has been writing offbeat and funny stories for middlegraders, including The Orphans of St Halibut's. Sophie lives on the edge of

south-east London with her family.

David Tazzyman studied illustration at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Life's a drag until you try.

Robin Cooper's life is falling apart. While his friends prepare to head off to

thing for Robin to do: bring it to the runway.
