Go To Sleep Jessie!

If only Jessie would lie down. If only she would go to sleep. But nothing will settle her ... except maybe a little sisterly know-how.

The volume of Possible Endings

A tale of FONTANIA

Dorrity is the only child in magic-free Owl Town. When she finds an enchanted book with dire predictions, she must face her enemies. And who is the strange boy who has appeared in the Beastly Dark?

The Bold Ship Phenomenal

The Bold Ship Phenomenal is a story in two parts, running parallel to each other. Malachi is an 11 year old boy who is struggling with life. His mum has recently passed away, his dad is coping by disappearing into a shell, and he has been asked to complete a science project by the dreaded Mrs Green.

While he is walking along the beach - his favourite place to think - he finds a bottle with a ship in it. This is pretty cool in itself, but when Malachi discovers that the scene in the bottle changes, it becomes even more interesting. As the events inside the bottle change and develop, Malachi starts to think about how he could change his life outside the bottle. 

He decides that he is going to go and join an environmental protest by stowing away in a truck and heading north - but things don't go as smoothly as he had hoped. And I haven't even mentioned the pig...

Come in and check out our new books on display.

        Apollo the Powerful Owl

Glenn Maxwell

Academy All-Stars

Talented young batsman Will Albright has earned himself a place at the brand-new T20 Youth Academy. But, in order to prove himself worthy of playing for Victoria, he will first have to face everything the academy can throw at him - including more bone-rattling bouncers from his archenemy, Darren 'Killer' McKinnon. To make things even more challenging, Will must compete with his best mate, Shavil, for the highly sought-after opening batsman spot. Can Australian T20 all-rounder Glenn Maxwell help Will adjust his game and earn a spot on the state team without losing his friend or his head?

An Eagle in the Snow

1940. The train is under attacks from German fighters. In the darkness, sheltering in a railway tunnel, the stranger in the carriage with Barney and his mother tells them a story to pass the time.


And what a story. The story of a young man, a young soldier in the trenches of World War I who, on the spur of the moment, had done what he thought was the right thing.


It turned out to have been the worst mistake he ever could have made – a mistake he must put right before it is too late…

A big welcome back to the year 7 and 8’s, we hope that you had a great camp experience and learned new skills and had a go at new activities.

A humorous visual language book about friendship and patience.

Emily Sparkes is back with a friendship fiasco…

Oliver and George

Oliver tries desperately to get George to play with him, but George is far too engrossed in his book.

Emily Sparkes and the friendship fiasco.

Emily Sparkes thinks having your best friend move to Wales at the same time as your parents decide to have a new baby is probably more trauma than anyone should have to cope with. But things go from bad to worse when she's paired with revolting Gross-Out Gavin for the school trip! Emily is determined to escape him, and when glamorous new girl Chloe Clarke turns up it seems her prayers might be answered.

Unfortunately, everyone has gone Chloe Clarke mad and Emily finds her 'sworn enemy' Zuzanna has had the same idea. Getting and keeping Chloe as a friend proves a lot more troublesome than Emily anticipated and leads her into a whole new set of disasters…

The Bakehouse

Bert wants nothing more than to be old enough to fight in the war - to handle weapons, defend his country, and have a life filled with adventure. Little does he know that the secrets and danger of war don't always stay at the front line, and that one boy's actions can change everything.
