Nosy Crow AUSTRALIA APRIL 2020 The Pirates Are Coming! John Condon, illustrated by Matt Hunt

A hilarious retelling of The Boy Who Cried Wolf - with a twist that will keep everyone guessing!

Description Tom has a VERY important job; every day he climbs to the top of the hill and watches for pirate ships. But when he rings his bell and shouts PIRATES! a few too many times - and there's NO pirate ship - the villagers begin to get tired of hiding. So what will happen when the pirates really do show up?

About the Author When John was a child he was always drawing. So much so that his mother and most of his teachers assumed he would one day become an illustrator or a designer; certainly not an author. Okay, technically he did become a designer... but he's an author too. Which doesn't surprise John in the least. John was born and raised in London, but he currently lives on its outskirts where it's a little leafier. Importantly for him though, it's just a train ride away from the buzz of town. His favourite holidays involve the sea, which inspires many of his story ideas. Although he doesn't like to swim in it, he finds the sound of the waves calming and life affirming. He hopes one day to live close enough to the sea to hear it always. As long as it's not too far from London. Obviously!

Matt Hunt was born in Redditch, Worcestershire in 1988. Starting out as a fine artist, he graduated from the Birmingham School of Art, and from these roots, developed a love for children's illustration. He currently shares a house with his wife Hayley and two cats. Matt works in mixed media, utilising paint, pens, crayons, and digital. He loves to create new and interesting characters and write stories for them. He's influenced by old movies, classic illustration, cartoons and books.

Frances Lincoln Children's AUSTRALIA APRIL 2020 Kaitangata Twitch Margaret Mahy

What happens to a girl who has dangerous dreams? What if the land itself punishes those who would harm it? Now adapted into a major, 13-part TV series, this spell-binding supernatural thriller was written by internationally acclaimed New Zealand author Margaret Mahy.

Description 'What we need is a powerful enchantress,' Meredith cried. 'Someone who could put a spell on Marriott.' As she spoke, a strange thought came into her head, running round and round inside her like a mouse on a pet-shop wheel. It was not a thought she could share, for it had a wickedness hidden in it and Meredith did not want anyone to know just how wicked she could be, even if it was only in her dreams.

The brooding island of Kaitangata lies just across the water from Meredith's home. It seems to have a supernatural presence, a will and a voice of its own, although only Meredith can hear it.

Can Meredith save the island from an unscrupulous developer? How could the dreamer of the family succeed where grown-ups have failed? Only Kaitangata can tell.

About the Author Margaret Mahy has had 200 books published, ranging from picture books to crossover YA novels and everything in between. Her books have been published in the US and UK, where she is very well known. Margaret is also a winner of the prestigious Carnegie Medal.

Words & Pictures AUSTRALIA APRIL 2020 The Parent Trap Erich Kastner and Walter Trier

The book which inspired two world-famous Disney films.

Description It's the oddest of all odd things, when two girls who have never met before suddenly stand before each other at summer camp - and discover that they're the spitting image of each other. Louise is from Vienna and has long, curly locks; Lottie is from Munich and wears her hair in two severe plaits - but that's truly the only difference between them.

Louise and Lottie decide to discover the secret behind their similarity: when the holiday is over, Louise returns to Munich as Lottie, and Lottie to Vienna as Louise.

'Walter Trier's deceptively innocent drawings are as classic as Kastner's words; I never tire of them' - Quentin Blake

About the Author Erich Kastner, writer, poet and journalist, was born in Dresden in 1899. His first children's book, Emil and the Detectives, was published in 1929 and has since sold millions of copies around the world and been translated into around 60 languages.

John Blake AUSTRALIA APRIL 2020 Pirate Adventure (You're the Hero): Create Your Own Pirate Story Lily Murray, illustrated by Stef Murphy

In You're the Hero: Pirate Adventure, readers age 5+ can choose their way through a pirate-based adventure. The different choices on each spread gives a combination of hundreds of stories - a new one with every read!

Description If you could be a pirate and have an adventure, what would it be like? Would you take a reliable robot pal along for the ride, or be accompanied by a crew of mice? Would you encounter an enormous, hungry shark, or would your ship get destroyed in a colossal storm? How would the story end - with you saving the day and finding a chest filled with precious jewels, or with you being swallowed by a giant whale? In You're the Hero: Pirate Adventure, children are the creators of their own stories. As they make their way through the book, readers make choices to decide how their adventure will evolve. From selecting what kind of hero they want to be and where they want to visit, to choosing a dangerous (yet exciting) disaster to face and deciding on how their story will end, the reader is in control of the action from start to finish. Each spread is packed full of vibrant, fun illustrations that the reader will use as a prompt to make their stories from. The book promises hundreds of choices to mix-and-match, meaning that the child can create an almost unlimited amount of narratives, time and time again!
