The Book: Your Birthday
Discover the magic and meaning of the day you were born with Your Birthday, a captivating and comprehensive guide to personality and destiny. Renowned astrologer Jessica Adams, along with Sunday Times bestselling author Rachel Wells, provide a global exploration of birthdays, drawing on Tarot, Western Astrology, Eastern Astrology, Vedic Astrology, Numerology, and more for all 365 days of the year.
What does the day of your birth mean-for your life, your personality, your strengths, and your dreams? What does your Indian moon sign tell you about your destiny? What does folklore and history say about the day you were born?
Uncover the answers within Your Birthday, your complete resource for understanding the role your birth date plays in every facet of life, using:
– Sun Signs in Western Astrology
– Asian Zodiac Signs
– Ancient Egyptian Decans
– Vedic Astrology
– Numerology
– Tarot Reading
The book’s first half incorporates monthly and day-by-day chapters, allowing for the study of birthdays from all angles. Each date-based entry also touches on the significance of the day in popular culture, showing not just the mystical but the social resonances of birthdays. Readers will discover celebrities who share their birthday month, day, and sign, as well as in-depth discussions of birthstones, birth flowers, emblematic animals, and Native American Moon correspondences for each month.
In the second half of the book, readers will gain a wholly unique understanding of their birthday through a nuanced and specific discussion of tarot. Each of the 78 cards is explored in-depth and contextualized within its appearance within birthday-specific tarot spreads. Further parallels are drawn between birthday readings and the specific imagery and history of Pamela Colman Smith’s iconic Rider-Waite-Smith deck.
Anyone looking to understand themselves, their friends, family, co-workers, and more will find endless insights within Your Birthday.
The Book: A Friend Called Alfie
The Sunday Times bestseller returns for a sixth book! Alfie and his mischievous kitten George are back for more adventures – this time with a puppy in tow…
At Christmas time we all need a friend…
Alfie and his kitten, George, have always known that a human is for life and not just for Christmas. So when George learns that one of the residents of Edgar Road has been taken into hospital, he realises it’s up to him to provide some comfort at this difficult time of year.
The only problem is that they now have a little puppy in tow – Pickles the Pug, who is convinced he can be a cat if only he sticks with his new found friends.
As George tries to do everything he can to make the world – and its humans – happier, Alfie struggles to keep Pickles in check and out of trouble. Because even the best laid plans can be destroyed by a well-meaning – but mischievous – little puppy…

Title: Kindness Rocks
Genre: Children
Format: Hardback - (First Edition)
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
A heartwarming self-discovery journey where a rock star learns that the path to true fulfillment is paved with acts of compassion and connection.
Meet Jonny Heart, a rock star whose melodies bring happiness to all who hear them. When offered stardom by the charismatic Fat Cat, Jonny dives into a whirlwind of fame, glitter, and music. Yet, amidst the glitz, Jonny begins to miss the simple joys of life. An unexpected encounter with Busky Soul, a homeless bear, sets Jonny on an extraordinary journey, as he bridges his passion for music with the power of compassion.
Author Sheryl Webster and illustrator Robert García beautifully unfold a heartwarming tale that inspires readers of all ages to spread joy through acts of kindness. Join Jonny on his quest of self-discovery, and let this enchanting story remind you that sometimes, the smallest gestures can create the most significant impact.
The Author:
Sheryl is a children's author from Liverpool, where she lives, not far from the River Mersey, with her husband and four children.
She writes books that are dynamic, witty and heartwarming, and that will empower, inspire and make a difference - by informing and creating awareness of important issues.
Before becoming a children’s author, she gained a degree in Psychology and English, then taught in elementary/primary schools for several years.
During a career break to have her first child, her first picture book was published. She now has over 30+ titles published and translated worldwide.
A big highlight for her was having her picture book, 'Kindness Rocks,' featured on a billboard in Times Square, NYC.
Now that her small brood of children are not so small, Sheryl writes full time, and is enjoying writing more than ever!
She finds inspiration for her stories in lots of things, but especially through music, which she feels is the universal language of us all.
Just like a good book, music can be a source of inspiration and expression!

The Book:
"So uplifting and powerful - so, so good." Cathy Cassidy
"Brave, honest, and heart-breakingly funny." Ben Miller
Amelia Bright wants to be the best at everything. But when it comes to popularity, she is dead last. No matter what she tries, she can't shake her reputation as a maggoty nobody.
When she meets cute new boy Evan, Amelia wonders if he can help her lose her loser status. And in a moment of hope, she agrees to something she quickly regrets - something that goes viral at school. Now she's not just called "maggot", she's a "bad influence" - and worse. But Amelia's determined not to let one mistake define her...she's so much more than the image everyone sees online.
A powerfully real and funny new story from the Queen of Teen, about first kisses, learning to be true to yourself and how one click can last for ever.

The Author:
Jane has always loved writing and drawing. Throughout much of her childhood she lived in Norfolk and wandered the fields and lanes with pencil and sketchbook.
She studied illustration and design in Brighton, where she met her husband, Ivan, who is also an illustrator. After college, they settled in Sussex and Jane taught art for a few years before leaving to have her first child, Owen. Since then she has had two more children; Alison and Ralph, and has written and illustrated over 20 picture books.
She prepares a dummy book of rough sketches before she begins the finished drawings. For these she draws first in pencil then, using coloured pencils, she builds up layers of colour, adding details towards the end. Each drawing takes many, many hours and a whole book can take a year.

Title: Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There
Genre: Young Adult - Fantasy - Humour
Format: Hardback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
Chris Riddell's brilliant full-colour illustrated Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There is a gorgeous edition of the much-loved sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. A perfect gift for families, children and all fans.
First published by Macmillan more than 150 years ago, Lewis Carroll’s iconic stories about Alice have been loved and enjoyed by generations of children the world over.
Curious Alice's second story takes her through the looking-glass to a place even stranger than the Wonderland of her first adventure. Caught up in the great looking-glass chess game she sets off across the chequerboard landscape to become a queen on the final square. It isn't as easy as she expects: at every step she is hindered by unusual, funny and nonsense characters like Tweedledum, Tweedledee and Humpty Dumpty. Some of them insist on reciting poems to her and these poems – such as The Walrus and The Carpenter and Jabberwocky – are now as famous as the Alice stories themselves.
This edition presents Lewis Carroll's complete text, with illustrations from Costa Award- and Kate Greenaway Medal-winner, and cartoonist for the Observer, Chris Riddell. Published 200 years after the birth of Alice’s first illustrator, Sir John Tenniel, also an eminent political cartoonist of his time, Chris Riddell's illustrations set a new bar of excellence, with his unique, rich and evocative interpretation of Carroll's world.

Title: The Secrets of Filming Swallows & Amazons (1974)
Genre: TV & Film : Autobiography
Format: Hardback - First Edition
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
The behind the scenes filmography of the original movie directed by Claude Whatham.
In 1973, Sophie Neville was cast as Titty alongside Suzanna Hamilton and Dame Virginia McKenna in the EMI/Theatre Projects movie of 'Swallows & Amazons' (1974). Made before the advent of CGI or digital technology, the young actors lived out Arthur Ransome's epic adventure on location in the British Lake District.
As part of their schoolwork, the children were asked to keep diaries about their time spent filming. Meanwhile, the hip young crew from Elstree Studios were getting to grips with transforming 1970's Windermere in mid-holiday season into a 1929 idyll. They never guessed that their happy 'Woodstock-on-wheels' experience would become such an enduring worldwide success. We have been assure that 'Swallows and Amazons’ (1974) has been screened on television more times than any other British film and is currently streaming on Amazon Prime.
This heart-warming true life memoir is illustrated with taken at the time by Sophie's family. It delivers a double helping of nostalgia for fans of Arthur Ransome, and the groovy times of the early Seventies.
‘A “treasure trunk” of insights into the making of the film.’ Arthur Ransome Trust
‘I could not put it down! …I think the maps are brilliant, right in character….IT'S LOVELY!!! I’m enjoying it too much.’ Roger Wardale, biographer of Arthur Ransome
‘…It is wonderfully entertaining.’ Richard Pilbrow, Producer, 'Swallows & Amazons'
‘You write so well and have so much covered. I really, really laugh reading this! The missionary bit is superb. Moving. Quietly so.’ Suzanna Hamilton, Mate Susan in 'Swallows & Amazons'
'Sophie has reminded me of one of the happiest times I ever spent on a film. The fun that was had, the friendships forged, the challenges overcome, are all delightfully recalled with a freshness and sense of adventure that has made me smile all over again.’ Dame Virginia McKenna
The Author:
Award-winning author Sophie Neville became inadvertently well known as a child when she starred as Titty in the 1974 feature film of Arthur Ransome's book Swallows and Amazons.
After that sunshiny time she went on to work for the BBC behind the camera on television programmes such as Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals, Doctor Who and Eastenders. Having produced her own Inset series for BBC2 she was busy directing her second drama serial for children when disaster struck in the form of a mystery illness.
Fully recovered, Sophie now lives on the south coast of England with her husband. Every year she disappears for a while to ride in different parts of the world and has also been known to go sailing, but only when the sun shines.

Fully recovered, Sophie now lives on the south coast of England with her husband. Every year she disappears for a while to ride in different parts of the world and has also been known to go sailing, but only when the sun shines.

Title: Lockett & Wilde's Dreadfully Haunting Mysteries: The Ghosts of the Manor
Genre: Ghost Mysteries & Detective
Format: Hardback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
A spirited series of “cosy gothic” ghostly mysteries set in the 1930s, starring supernatural sleuths, Lockett & Wilde.
Matilda Lockett is used to playing the role of Poor Dead Edna the Orphan on stage with her spirit-medium aunt, Signora Valentina, and theatrical uncle Barnabus – but when they all decamp to Beauchamp Manor to deal with a most dreadful haunting, she discovers she really can see ghosts! There she meets ghost boy, Edgar Wilde, who shares her love of supernatural snooping, and together they set about unravelling the case of The Ghosts of the Manor.
Classic spooky mystery reimagined for fans of cosy crime. You'd have to be DEAD not to love it...
Fully illustrated by Carnegie shortlisted illustrator Pam Smy
The Author:
Lucy Strange is an award-winning children’s author who lives in the heart of the Kent countryside with her partner and their young son.
Lucy’s books capture elements of classic children’s literature in a style that is engaging and accessible for today’s younger readers. Often inspired by folklore and fairy tales, Lucy combines historical settings with touches of magic and fantasy to create utterly convincing worlds in which anything might happen…
Lucy won the 2014 Montegrappa First Fiction Prize, and has gone on to publish four novels with Chicken House in the UK. Her first novel, The Secret of Nightingale Wood, was published in October 2016 and was the Waterstones Book of the Month, described as ‘startlingly good’ by The Daily Telegraph who placed it at Number 10 in the Top 50 Books of 2016. The US edition was launched in New York at the end of 2017 and was immediately chosen for Amazon’s list of the Best Children’s Books of the Year.
Her second novel, Our Castle by the Sea, was the Independent Booksellers’ Children’s Book of the Month, The Times Children’s Book of the Week, nominated for the Carnegie Medal and shortlisted for the Waterstones Book Prize 2020. Lucy’s books are published by Scholastic in the US and have been translated into many languages including French, German, Dutch, Hungarian, Croatian, Russian, Farsi and Mandarin.
The Ghost of Gosswater was published in 2020 and was the Times Book of the Week and was chosen as one of The Times best children’s books of the year: “a classic gothic novel for beginners.”
Lucy’s latest books for young readers are the folk-horror fairy tale Sisters of the Lost Marsh (2021), which was described by Hilary McKay as her “book of the year”, and The Mermaid in the Millpond (2022). This is a short, dyslexia-friendly novel about friendship and freedom, set during the Industrial Revolution and published by Barrington Stoke.
Before becoming a professional writer, Lucy worked as an English teacher for fifteen years. Having also trained and worked as an actor, Lucy narrates her own audiobooks, winning the 2019 Audie Award for The Secret of Nightingale Wood.

Title 1: Undoctored
Title 2: NHS
Genre: Adult - Non-Fiction
Format: Paperbacks
Signed: Dedications are Available
Postage & packaging: FREE
Bids Accepted: UK ONLY
The Book 1: Undoctored
This Is Going to Hurt was the publishing phenomenon of the century, read by many millions, loved by at least fifty of them, and adapted into a major TV series. But it was only part of the story.
By turns hilarious, heartbreaking and humbling, Undoctored is about what happens when a doctor hangs up his scrubs, but medicine refuses to let go of him.
It's about an extraordinary medical school education.
It's about opening old wounds and examining the present-day scars.
It's about hospital admissions and personal ones.
It's about blowing up your life and stitching it back together.
It's about being a doctor and being a patient.
It's about 300 pages long.
Undoctored is Adam Kay's funniest and most moving book yet—an astonishing portrait of a life in and out of medicine, from one of Britain's finest storytellers.
The Book 2: NHS
The number one Sunday Times bestseller.
Features 75 stories narrated by their authors.
Curated and edited by Adam Kay (author of multi-million best seller This Is Going to Hurt), Dear NHS features household names telling their personal stories of the health service. Contributors include Paul McCartney, Emilia Clarke, Stephen Fry, Sir Trevor McDonald, Sir Michael Palin, Naomie Harris, Dame Emma Thompson, Joanna Lumley, Miranda Hart, Ed Sheeran, David Tennant, Dame Julie Walters, Emma Watson and many, many more.
The NHS is our single greatest achievement as a country. No matter who you are, no matter what your health needs are, and no matter how much money you have, the NHS is there for you. In Dear NHS, an amazing list of inspirational people come together to share their stories of how the national health service has been there for them and changed their lives in the process. By turns deeply moving, hilarious, hopeful and impassioned, these stories together become a love letter to the NHS and the 1.4 million people who go above and beyond the call of duty every single day - selflessly, generously, putting others before themselves, never more so than now.
They are all heroes, and this book is our way of saying thank you.

Title 1: Kay’s Incredible Inventions
Title 2: Dexter Procter: The 10 Year Old Doctor
Genre: Children - Comedy - Biological Sciences Teaching Aids
Format: Hardbacks
Dedications Available: YES
Postage & Packaging; FREE
Bids Accepted: UK ONLY
The Book 1: Kay’s Incredible Inventions
Do you ever wonder where the stuff around you all came from? No, not from eBay. I mean, who had the amazing idea of making a mobile phone or the annoying idea of building a school? For example, did you know that Velcro was invented by a dog and WiFi by a movie star? (Spoiler alert - it wasn’t Zendaya.)
In the fourth laugh-out-loud book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker, you’ll learn all about the coolest, grossest and most ridiculous inventions in the world. You’ll meet the queen who used the first ever toilet, learn why margarine used to be full of maggots and find out why Ancient Greeks wiped their bums on dinner plates. Oh, and hopefully some slightly more useful facts as well…
An A to Kay to Z of the random, ridiculous and revolutionary inventions that changed our lives. (And some that definitely didn't . . .)
The book 2: Dexter Procter: The 10 Year Old Doctor
It was clear from an early age that Dexter Procter was different.
He started speaking at four seconds old. By the age of three, he had 87 A-levels, from Afrikaans to Zoology.
And by ten, he was working as a paediatrician at Lilydale General Hospital.
Despite a loving but annoying family and a couple of good friends (Rupi and Otto), Dexter's always struggled to fit in. Add to this a mortal enemy (Dr Drake) and a major problem at his old school (all the teachers struck down with awful diarrhoea) - will Dexter be able to save his job, save the school and find his place in the world? (Spoiler alert: yes!)
A laugh-out-loud new fiction series about the world's youngest doctor from the record-breaking Adam Kay and Henry Paker.

Title: Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam: Train Trouble
Genre: Children
Format: Hardback - Picture Book
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
All aboard for an exciting new Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam escapade!
When Shifty and Sam are asked to bake on board the Pawrient Express, travelling to Venice for Carnival night, they find themselves caught up in a robbery. A sneaky thief has stolen the posh passengers’ gems and she’s making her escape in a getaway gondola! The doggy detectives are hot on her tail, but can they unmask that kitty-cat criminal and save the day?
The Author:
Tracey grew up in South Wales, on a council estate firmly sandwiched between the steel and chemical works.
She’s a trained teacher but now writes stories in an ancient cottage in the woods. A multi award-winning author, her first book was published in 2010, and in March 2022, her 73rd.
As a young child, Tracey owned few books. But thanks to an ancient set of encyclopaedias and a Ladybird copy of Cinderella, her passion for nosing into other people’s ‘stories’ began early on.
Some years later, one very special teacher fed Tracey more and more books. Between their pages real magic then started to happen. Books made her laugh and cry and think.
They made her feel that – maybe she could do things…

3 Books Bonanza
Title 1: Roo & Sarge : To The Rescue
Genre: Children
Format: Picture Book
Title 2: Save Us
Genre: Children - Education - Enviroment
Format: Picture Book
Title 3: Mohna Lot
Genre: Children
Format: Picture Book
Signed - Dedications are Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book 1: Roo & Sarge : To The Rescue
Roo the Cockapoo and Sarge the German Shepherd who used to help his detective owner with his police work, live at Springfield Dogs Home. The inseparable friends dream that pne day someone will adopt and welcome them into their new home. Will their dream come true? A story about lasting friendships and overcoming challenges.
The Book 2: Save Us
Save Us' is a wonderful story about a Seal, Whale and Sea Turtle that addresses the problem of plastic causing problems to our sea creatures.
The inspiration for writing this story is a result of watching the BBC Blue Planet 2 with David Attenborough. Plastic pollution is set to treble in a decade unless action is taken to deal with the problem. I feel that it is vitally important that we educate our children from a young age to help look after our Oceans and environment.
The Book 3: Mohna Lot
Monah's moans are a cry for help. A great way of helping children to learn how to express their feelings, show kindness and realise that we are all different.
The Author:
Christina Gabbitas is a children’s author, poet, storyteller and voiceover artist, who always loved to read rhyming books and poetry in my early years. She penned some stories that she stored away in a box file twenty years ago, thinking that one day she would do something with them. Welcome to the World of Felicity Fly was born in 2012. The series has taken her into the final of the People's Book Prize 2014-2018, winning Best Achievement Award in May 2019.
Born in Blackburn, Lancashire where she spent the first twenty two years of her life, before moving to various parts of Yorkshire, where she now lives. (passports for both)
Christina is founder and trustee of Children's Literature Festivals charity, her patrons and ambassadors include musician Michael Bradley of The Undertones and Actress Jenny Agutter.
As a child she loved to read anything that rhymed. One of her earliest recollections of fun poetry was Spike Milligan’s Granny and also On The Ning Nang Nong. She loves Spike Milligan’s book Silly Verse For Kids.
She has always had a love of music and used to help the headmaster of her primary school tune the piano. She spent some of her teenage years playing saxophone and percussion with a band and supported a popular indie band at that time called The Chameleons. They played around venues in Lancashire and admits that she did look at little freaky!

Title: Cobweb
Genre: Children - Middle Grade
Format: Hardback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
A powerful, moving adventure inspired by the extraordinary true story of the French Drummer Boy of Waterloo, COBWEB is a stunning tale of courage and kindness – a book about humanity, animals, and the heartbreak of war, from a writer at the height of his powers.
“They call me Cobweb. I’ll tell you why later. I may be a dog, but I know and understand a lot more than people think I do.”
Britain. 1815. After years of loss and sacrifice, the end of the war with Napoleon is approaching.
Cobweb knows nothing of the war – he loves being a young puppy and playing with his owner, Bethan, exploring the countryside and chasing rabbits.
But when he is taken away from Bethan and sold, Cobweb must learn to become a Drover’s Dog – herding sheep and cattle for hundreds of miles on the long, treacherous journey to London.
And after the Napoleonic wars finally come to an end with the Battle of Waterloo, Cobweb meets an unexpected stranger with an incredible tale to tell on his journey home . . .
The Author:
Michael Morpurgo is one of Britain's best-loved children's book writers. He has written more than 100 books and has won the Smarties Prize, the Whitbread Award, and most recently the Blue Peter Book Award for PRIVATE PEACEFUL. He is also the author of WAR HORSE, which has been made into a Tony Award-winning Broadway play and a Golden Globe-nominated film. Michael was Writer in Residence at The Savoy Hotel from January to March 2007, and previously he was Children's Laureate from 2003-2005, a role that took him across Britain to inspire a love of reading in children.

Book Title: Clarice Bean Smile
Genre: Children - Environment & Ecology
Format: Hardback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
Clarice Bean is back with all her trademark humour in this heartwarming story by former Children’s Laureate Lauren Child
At the moment I am daydreaming about inventing something exceptionordinarily good that could change the world for the better, because of all the things, it’s the better that’s needed.
And if you are thinking I'm too small to make a difference then remember the plankton – they are one of the tiniest creatures on the planet but without them where would we be? Probably living on Mars.
The utterly wonderful Clarice Bean is thinking about the endangered things: the big creatures, the little creatures, the plants and the trees. But it’s not just the planet that needs help – there’s her whole family too . . .
The Author:
Lauren Child MBE is an English author and illustrator. She was the UK Children's Laureate from 2017-19.
Lauren grew up in Wiltshire as the middle child of three sisters and the daughter of two teachers. She has always been interested in the many aspects of childhood, from gazing into toy shop windows to watching American children's shows from the 1960s. After attending two Art Schools, she travelled for six months, still unsure about which career to embark upon.
Before writing and illustrating children's books Lauren started her own company 'Chandeliers for the People' making lampshades. It was only when she came to write and illustrate the book Clarice Bean, That's Me that she decided to devote her time to writing and illustrating books for children, which combines her fascination for childhood and her talent for designing and creating. Lauren gets her inspiration from other people's conversations or from seeing something funny happen.
Her book I Will Not Ever Never Eat A Tomato won the 2000 Kate Greenaway Medal. For the 50th anniversary of the Medal (1955–2005), a panel named it one of the top ten winning works, which comprised the shortlist for a public vote for the nation's favourite. It finished third in the public vote from that shortlist.
Lauren lives in North London.

And Edie doesn't like thinking about Dad - even the happy memories haunt her too much.
When Edie uncovers a clue that could lead her to long-lost Viking treasure, it's just the adventure she needs to take her mind off Dad.

The Book;
Sometimes, secrets don't stay buried forever. Sometimes, they need to be set free.
Twelve-year-old Edie and her younger brother Pip are spending half term at Fortune Farm, high in the Irish mountains, with their grandmother Lolly. They haven't visited Fortune Farm for YEARS and Edie has been dreading it for MONTHS. They spent all their holidays there when Dad was alive. And Edie doesn't like thinking about Dad - even the happy memories haunt her too much.
When Edie uncovers a clue that could lead her to long-lost Viking treasure, it's just the adventure she needs to take her mind off Dad. But the adventure soon takes an unnerving and dangerous turn, and Edie discovers that Fortune Farm has more secrets, mysteries and ghosts than she had ever dared to dream.
A spine-tingling adventure about the power of memories and the restless spirits that whisper on the wind.
An emotional and spine-tingling adventure perfect for fans of The House with Chicken Legs, A Girl Called Owl and A Pocketful of Stars.

Book 1 Blurb:
Marina lives in Merlington, a fish-obsessed seaside town. Unfortunately, she doesn't care for fish; she loves telling stories.

Together, the pair resolve to unravel the mystery of his past – but danger isn't far away ...
The debut novel by Richard Pickard, a fresh new voice in children's fiction and winner of the Times/Chicken House Chairman's Choice Award 2019.
A funny, dark, core middle-grade story touching on themes of lies, storytelling, secrets, acceptance and, of course, fish!

HIS FEET WERE THE FIRST CLUE ...
Casper dreams of swimming the Channel. Surely, he was born to use his webbed toes ... Instead, he's strictly forbidden to go near water.
When his parents have an unlucky accident, Casper is sent to stay with a grandmother he's never met - where he discovers his special tie to the sea ...
From the acclaimed author of The Peculiar Tale of the Tentacle Boy – winner of the Times/Chicken House Competition Chairman's Choice Award

Two of his greatest childhood influences were Roald Dahl and Tim Burton, who both possess a wickedly dark sense of humour.

Title: The Lovely Dark
Genre: Children - Middle Grade
Format: Paperback / Hardback
Signed Only / Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
When mysterious footprints appear in the Stockholm snow, ten-year-old Kara must discover where they've come from - and who they belong to. The trail of footprints leads Kara to Rebecca, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl, and her younger brother Samuel. Kara realises they are refugees - from another time, World War Two - and are trying to find their way home.
The grief and loneliness that Rebecca and Samuel have endured is something Kara can relate to - feeling like you're always on the outside looking in - and she finds herself compelled to help them escape. Through her eyes, we rediscover the magic that lies in the world around us, if only we have the courage to look for it.
Kara is a heroine for modern times: fragile but fierce, in this utterly compelling story from a stellar new voice in children's literature, Matthew Fox

I grew up in a village in Wiltshire. I always wanted to be a writer, and my first stories were published in the village magazine, Kidstuff, when I was ten!
I studied at the University of Oxford, and at the Northern Film School. Since then, I’ve had a number of jobs: I ran a film festival in Liverpool, I’ve worked as a stage manager in a theatre, and I’ve worked in

Genre: Middle Grade Horror/Puzzles
Format: Paperback,
Signed - Yes, dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK only
The Book:
An edge-of-your-seat adventure packed full of puzzles, spooks and mystery!
Amity has run off into Badwell Woods.
Her brother Claude goes after her, only to discover his little sister’s scarf dangling near a house in the trees.
Has she gone inside?
He enters, not expecting a three storey-building with NO stairs. And a party laid out when there’s nobody else around.
Only when the front door locks behind him does he realize it’s a housetrap.
And they’ve been caught . . .
The Author:
Emma Read is the author of The Housetrap, and the Milton series (Chicken House), including MILTON THE MIGHTY, one of The Times Best Children’s Books of 2019.
She loves all things spooky (and spidery!) and can often be found walking through her local graveyard … but only in daylight. Like Mark Gatiss, she doesn’t believe in ghosts but is scared of them.

He enters, not expecting a three storey-building with NO stairs. And a party laid out when there’s nobody else around.
Only when the front door locks behind him does he realize it’s a housetrap.
And they’ve been caught . . .
The Author:
Emma Read is the author of The Housetrap, and the Milton series (Chicken House), including MILTON THE MIGHTY, one of The Times Best Children’s Books of 2019.
She loves all things spooky (and spidery!) and can often be found walking through her local graveyard … but only in daylight. Like Mark Gatiss, she doesn’t believe in ghosts but is scared of them.

Book Title: The Boy, the Witch & the Queen of Scots
Genre: Children’s historical fiction
Format: Paperback
Signed, Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK only
The Book :
No.
Not the Palace.
Anywhere but the Palace.
12-year-old Alexander Buchan was once content, training as a falconer at Strathbogie Castle in Huntly. But when his Earl sends him to Edinburgh to the court of the newly arrived Mary, Queen of Scots, the boy finds himself lured into a world of intrigue, terror and treachery. Alexander knows right from wrong, but how can he hope to outwit his master's murderous messenger'? Surely no one can defy an Earl – especially one whose wife is rumoured to be a witch!
Soon, more than the boy’s own life is at stake: his friend Lizzie is arrested and the angry clouds of Reformation Scotland gather around the young Queen.
It seems that Alexander must spy – or die.
The Author:
Barbara Henderson is an award-winning author of a range of books, including eight historical novels for children. She is based in the Scottish Highlands where she still works as a drama teacher and spends her free time searching old ruins for new tales.

Book Title: Alien Apocalypse
Genre: Children's Science Fiction
Format: Paperback
Signed: Yes, dedication is available
Bids Accepted: UK only
The Book:
Nothing exciting ever happens on twelve-year-old Danny’s estate . . . that is until he falls through a locker in his grandad’s workshop and finds himself in an Interdimensional Lost Property Office!
Join Danny, Modge and Inaaya in more rocket-fuelled rampages across the universe and space shenanigans as they race to save the universe from the evil Flurm Worm . . .
The Author:
I'm the daughter of an Indian father and an Austrian mother raised on an East London Council Estate. The local library was my source of all books growing up and I never stopped reading if I could help it.
All that reading led to me writing my own stories throughout my childhood and teens while I dreamed of being a proper author one day.
Unfortunately as I grew up it seemed too impossible that someone like me could ever achieve such an ambition and I decided it was better to give up such lofty aspirations. I settled down to a normal life with a job, marriage and motherhood and kept all my stories firmly in my head.
Until that is, years later reading to my son sparked my love of writing once again and I started scribbling my own tales to read to him.
Five years of hard work led to a book deal with OUP for my debut Mold and the Poison Plot, a fantasy adventure about a boy with a remarkable nose...

Title 1: Honey's Hive
Title 2: Honey's Hive - Bee a Friend
Genre: Children
Format: Paperbacks
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
Title 1: Honey's Hive
Honey is a young bee buzzing with ambition, who can’t find her role in her small hive. Just when she thinks she’s found a job she likes, a swarm threatens the whole hive! Honey makes her escape, and discovers a rooftop paradise at the top of a tower block – the perfect place to set up a new hive. Fighting off a swarm of angry wasps, and working together with her friends, Honey saves the day and builds a new home for her and her community!
The first book in an exciting new series from New York Times bestseller Mo O’Hara, packed with bee facts and stunning illustrations by Aya Kakeda.
Title 2: Honey's Hive - Bee a Friend
Honey is so good at her job as a scouting bee, finding lots of pollen for her hive, that she’s being awarded a petal medal by the Queen Bee!
But while Honey and her hive are celebrating, the other bees in the neighbourhood are struggling, there’s just not enough pollen left for them. When Honey finds out she’s really worried and tries to help the other bees find pollen too, but not all the bees in the hive think she should help outsiders.
Then the wasps come, and they attack the hive! Thankfully, all the other bees in the neighbourhood come to help their new friend Honey. Honey and her hive all realise how important it is to share and make friends.
The second book in this exciting new series from New York Times bestseller Mo O’Hara, packed with bee facts and stunning illustrations by Aya Kakeda.
The Author:
Originally from America, I moved to London because I wanted to live abroad but spoke no foreign languages. After a brief and unsuccessful stint as a serving wench at the Tower of London I found work as an actress and comedy performer. I’ve performed at Edinburgh and London comedy festivals. Years ago, when I was touring around the UK as a storyteller I discovered that kids liked, laughed at and didn’t fall asleep when I performed stuff that I wrote myself. I was hooked on writing and performing for kids. Some of my favourite quotes from kids about my storytelling sessions are:
“I guess you were a bit better than the rabbits with big heads that were here last week.”
“Can I rewind you and watch you again after lunch?”
And “How did you know me to put me in your story?”
I still live in London, still speak no foreign languages (although I am attempting to learn Italian to wake up my brain a bit) and I still have a sneaking suspicion that the rabbits with the big heads were really better than me but the kid was just being nice.
I wrote lots of stories for kids that nobody published but then I wrote “My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish” and Macmillan said that they were hooked. (couldn’t help the fish pun there, sorry). That series has six books and is now published in 11 different languages. Since then I’ve written over 20 books!

Title: Henry Baker
Genre: Children
Format: Paperback
Dedication Available: YES
Postage & Packaging: FREE
Bids Accepted: UK only
The Book:
When Henry Baker finds a small, super-shiny black pencil on his way to school, his life is changed forever...
This nine-story compendium provides a gently stretching read for 7 to 9 year olds, or perfectly paced bedtime stories for younger children. The wide-ranging subject matter - from a friendship dilemma to helping a passing Viking; picking up the pieces from a karate disaster to finding a lost voice - will amuse your youngsters whilst quietly encouraging them to think.
Nicky is an amateur archaeologist and an author of adult historical fiction, as well as a karateka and the chair of the village Neighbourhood Plan committee - many of the stories are drawn from her research or every day life, giving them a depth of detail!
The Author:
I live in the middle of rural Suffolk, UK, and am currently owned by a slinky black cat who's far too clever for her own good.
In my spare time, I'm an amateur historian/archaeologist, and in dry daylight hours am usually out on a field somewhere with a metal detector and/or a trowel. I've added quite a few things to the Heritage England Record and the Portable Antiquities Scheme; but what really fascinates me is the stories behind the artefacts.
I love writing a series of short stories about Henry Baker, a boy who finds a magic pencil on the way to school - and who has lots of adventures as the pencil makes anything he draws, become real! He draws some historical artefacts, as well as things to get him out of the sort of trouble any 9 year old boy can find.

Book Title: Whose Dog is This?
Genre: Children's Picture Book (4-6 years)
Format: Paperback FIRST EDITION
Signed - Yes. Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: Worldwide
The Book :
There's a house full of mud, mess and cheese sauce. Is it the case that Albert has simply 'borrowed' his neighbour's dog and create chaos? Or, as Albert claims, is the clueless canine *really* a Secret Agent named Jonny Waffles - super spy extraordinaire - and the two of them have been trying to stop a bad goose from taking over the world?
This riotous, laugh-out-loud, story is the perfect bed-time treat, and was the runner up in the Waterstones Children's Book of the Year Award 2024.
The Author:
Andrew Sanders is a cheery Yorkshireman, and possesses two legs, one nose and quite a good belly button. He finds writing about himself in the third person a bit weird, and he often ends up getting a bit flustered and using silly words in the wrong places, which is very arboreal of him. To date, he has published two books with Pan Macmillan, including Whose Dog is This? and it's prequel, Where Has All the Cake Gone?
Andrew enjoys doing school and charity events and is a big believer in making both reading and life as fun as possible, because... well, why not?

Book Title: Dream Hunters
Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy Adventure
Format: Paperback (First Edition)
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: Worldwide
The Book :
Set in a fantasy, reimagined India where dreams can be captured and bottled, a young girl adventures to save the king and rescue her parents.
Twelve-year-old Mimi lives with her Aunt Moyna in a centuries-old Citadel where she studies the ancient practice of making, capturing and recycling dreams. The Citadel was once run by Mimi’s parents who have been imprisoned by the king, accused of treason.
When Mimi spies a royal visitor, she uncovers a plot to transform the Citadel from a place of gentle, healing dream craft and a dangerous plot – the crown prince is purchasing nightmares from her aunt to poison the king.
With only her dream creature, Lalu, and her best friend Rafi, Mimi must escape the Citadel and begin a perilous journey across India. There are few people she can trust, but saving the life of the king and foiling her aunt’s scheme is in Mimi’s hands alone...
The Author:
Nazima was born in India and raised in London, moving later to Cambridge where she lives with her husband and two children. She is a children’s doctor and researcher but has always enjoyed reading and writing stories. In a way, science when conveyed well is a tale of the why’s, the how’s and therefore’s.
But children’s stories are special, important and fun, and after learning the craft of writing fiction, Nazima found a home in creating magical stories for curious children who believe in the right to dream.

The Book: The Ultimate Guide To Growing Dragon
Genre: Children’s fiction 7-9 years
Format: Paperback
Signed: Yes
Bids accepted: UK only
The Book:
An enchanting companion title to Andy Shepherd and Sara Ogilvie's bestselling THE BOY WHO GREW DRAGONS seriesTomas, the boy who grew dragons, is officially the Grand High Dragon Master. He's lived with his dragons - Flicker and Zing - and grown dozens more. He's an expert at caring for the dragonfruit tree. He knows all the tricks for training dragons, nurturing dragonfruit seedlings and defusing dragon poo. So - he has this brilliant idea. He and his friends have got to get all their dragon expertise down, in one easy-to-read place, for them, and anyone else who might find themselves growing dragons! The only problem is - Tomas's friends Ted, Kat, Kai, Liam and Aura are currently scattered all around the world, from Suffolk to Mexico to China. Perhaps, though, if they can get their heads together, they can figure this all out together, and create the most brilliant ULTIMATE GUIDE ever, together? Of course, what they don't realise is they still have a lot to learn about dragons!
The Author:
Andy is the author of the best-selling ‘The Boy Who Grew Dragons’ books, which have now been translated into 24 languages. The first book in the series was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize, the Sheffield Book Award, and long-listed for the Blue Peter Book Award.
Growing up on the coast in England, Andy spent most of her time scribbling stories and messing about in boats. She now lives near Cambridge with her husband, her two sons and an absurd number of tiny dragons, and spends her spare time trying to figure out how to move this beautiful city closer to the sea.
Disclaimer: Please note, all dragon-growing is undertaken entirely at the grower’s own risk and Andy cannot be held responsible for any damage your dragon may cause.

Book Title: WARNING: Magic Can Be Dangerous!
Genre: Children’s Magical/Fantasy/Humorous Fiction
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication IS Available
Bids Accepted: Worldwide
The Book:
Tyler isn't thrilled to be spending yet another mundane afternoon at Great Uncle John's. And that's putting it mildly! But after his visit sparks a chain of inexplicable events, he delightedly discovers magic at his fingertips.
Being able to conjure up a swimming pool and a wodge of cash are certainly perks. Yet the magic proves tricky to control. What's more, it seems to be irreversible.
Unable to properly harness his new-found powers, Tyler ends up getting those around him into all manner of mischief and mayhem. And when things begin to go catastrophically wrong, he fears magic is a curse, rather than a blessing. Will normality ever be restored, or will Tyler be forced to adapt to his new, altered reality forever? It all depends on whether he's able to find Lottie's loophole...
The Author:
B. Ware is the pseudonym used by Jo Stacey when writing children’s books.
Born in August 1976, Jo was fortunate enough to spend the first eighteen years of her life just a stone’s throw from Dumpton Gap beach in the picturesque coastal town of Broadstairs. She always feels most at home when she’s close to the sea, and loves nothing more than lying on a beach somewhere, lost in a good book.
An avid reader from a young age, Jo’s childhood dream was to become an author. Her love of writing evolved whilst she was a pupil at Upton Junior School (Broadstairs). At night, she’d often read by torchlight under the bedclothes – or scribble story ideas into old exercise books – when she was supposed to be fast asleep! During secondary school break times and lunchtimes, she’d collaborate with friends to write murder mysteries before acting them out in the playground. But in her final years at Clarendon House Grammar School (Ramsgate), Jo decided to abandon her fascination with words in order to pursue a growing infatuation with numbers.
It wasn’t until she home-schooled her children during the COVID-19 lockdown that Jo's passion for creative writing was finally rekindled, and she wrote her first romance novel. Straight afterwards, she put pen to paper to complete the sequel. But with her children in mind, she then turned her hand to middle-grade fiction. WARNING: Magic Can Be Dangerous! is the first book she has published, under the guise of her alter ego, B. Ware. She’s now working on the second book in the WARNING series, which revolves around a dragon theme.
Jo currently lives in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire with her husband and children. But she hopes to one day move back to the seaside and make writing her full-time occupation.

Book Title: This Rock Is Mine
Genre: Children
Format: Hardback
Signed: Dedication available
Bids Accepted: Worldwide
The Book:
Friendship wins the day in this fabulously funny quarrel! Two frogs sit on an ordinary little rock. But . . . uh-oh! Both frogs think it’s their rock – and they really don’t want to share! The frogs fight and squabble furiously. But when a hungry heron swoops down, both frogs realise it’s time to find another rock . . . together! Kaye Umansky’s brilliantly simple rhyming story shows how two grumpy frogs go from fighting . . . to friendship (with lots of laughter along the way.) Alice McKinley’s hilarious illustrations bring to life every twist and turn of this wonderfully witty little drama.
Written in absolutely perfect rhyme, this story is a joy to read aloud.
Every parent and child will identify with these squabbling frogs.
An excellent (and very funny) lesson in how to resolve a quarrel!
The Author:
Kaye Umansky was born in Plymouth, Devon, in 1946. Her mother was a music teacher, so she played piano and sang from an early age. She was an only child – and a big reader.

She came to London aged 18 to attend teachers’ training college. She taught in London primary schools in the 1970’s. She met her husband, a bass player, and they played in several semi pro soul bands. She still lives in north London, with her husband and two cats. She has a grown up daughter, three step children and three step grandchildren. Her first book, a song book entitled Phantasmagoria, was published in 1985. Since then, she was written over 140 titles, including the popular Pongwiffy series.

The Book:
Friendship wins the day in this fabulously funny quarrel! Two frogs sit on an ordinary little rock. But . . . uh-oh! Both frogs think it’s their rock – and they really don’t want to share! The frogs fight and squabble furiously. But when a hungry heron swoops down, both frogs realise it’s time to find another rock . . . together! Kaye Umansky’s brilliantly simple rhyming story shows how two grumpy frogs go from fighting . . . to friendship (with lots of laughter along the way.) Alice McKinley’s hilarious illustrations bring to life every twist and turn of this wonderfully witty little drama.
Written in absolutely perfect rhyme, this story is a joy to read aloud.
Every parent and child will identify with these squabbling frogs.
An excellent (and very funny) lesson in how to resolve a quarrel!

Title 1: The Accidental Witch
Monday 20th September
I’M AT WITCH SCHOOL! Now would be a really good time to discover I can do magic…
Bea Black has just moved to Little Spellshire, a town with a magical secret. When her dad accidentally enrols her at the local witch school, she has to get to grips with some interesting new classes, like, NOW! Also on her to do list? Make friends, look after the grumpy class frog AND do everything humanly magically possible to stay on a broom…
But with the Halloween Ball on the horizon, will she be able to master her wand skills in time to WOW? And more importantly can she keep her newfound magical abilities a secret from dad?
Title 2: Flying High
Monday 1st November
There’s only fifty days until the Winter Solstice, the longest and witchiest night of the year. But before that there’s the Grand Tournament – the biggest and sportiest day in the witchy calendar! And I can’t wait!
Bea Black is all settled into her new life in Little Spellshire, a town with a magical secret. She’s made tonnes of friends at witch school, learned how to levitate frogs (just about) and been working hard on polishing up her broom skills. So when the Winter Solstice Grand Tournament rolls round, she’s ready to rise to the next challenge and fly high.
But then Ms Sparks decides that this year’s tournament will be a bit … er … different. That is, it won’t be an Extraordinary Grand Tournament at all, but rather a very ordinary sports day with Spellshire Academy! With magic firmly forbidden and rivalry reaching new heights, who will emerge victorious? And more importantly, will Bea’s friendship with her best non-witchy friend Ash survive the competition?
Title 3: Ghostly Getaway
Monday 17th January
It’s finally time for the school trip! And we’re off to the SPOOKIEST castle I have EVER seen!
Bea Black is in her second term at witch school and she can’t wait for the Year Seven residential trip to the haunted Cadabra Castle. The students are excited to fly around the famous GO pitch, explore the ancient turrets and have a magical time … if they can just stop arguing! Except Ms Sparks has other plans – this isn’t a holiday, it’s a team-building exercise for a class who desperately need to learn to work together.
But with rumours of a ghost terrorizing the castle, Bea has a lot more to contend with than scavenger hunts and hikes! Not least being paired up with Blair Smith-Smythe, her ULTIMATE frenemy! Will the class learn anything from their time at Cadabra? And more importantly, will Bea and Blair manage to avoid hexing each other for long enough to solve the spooky mystery?
Title 4: Unexpected Guests
Friday 4th February
It feels like I’ve only been asleep for a minute but I can’t risk being late for school today – the Very Important Witches are coming!
Bea Black is determined to become the BEST witch she can be and learn EVERYTHING about magic. So when a school visit from some VERY important guests is announced, Bea is thrilled! It’s her chance to help Little Spellshire School for the Extraordinary Arts and show off what she’s learned so far.
But when the visitors arrive, they are NOT who the students and teachers were expecting. In fact, they’re the opposite! With the witch school at risk of being exposed, it’s up to Bea to use her ordinary special skills to save the day.
Title 5: Stage Fright
Friday 18th February
Binxy has just reminded us that we have to put on this play in front of the WHOLE SCHOOL and now we’re a mixture of excited and SCARED!
When Bea’s class is tasked with putting on the school play, she can’t wait to get started. Her friends are nothing if not dramatic, and now her magic is getting stronger, perhaps she can use that to create some special effects!
But before long the drama takes over the school – with overenthusiastic set design, nervous performers and transformation mishaps. It’s time for Bea and her friends to put their teamwork to the test and put on an unFROGettable performance…
Title 6: Magic Ever After
Tuesday 12th April
We’re all still talking about our plans for the holidays and Fabi has had a GENIUS idea. When I get back from visiting my grandparents, we’re going to have a Finkelspark Club May Day treehouse sleepover. Can’t wait.
The school holidays are coming up and Bea is excited to see family, practise magic and spend time with ALL her friends! It’d be perfect, except something’s up. Dad is OBSESSED with learning magic (he can’t even levitate a pea!) and Taffy keeps having to do some SERIOUS THINKING. What’s going on?
Then Bea finds out Dad and Taffy’s secret... They want to get married! Bea’s To-Do list just got a lot longer – she’s got a wedding day to plan, MORE secrets to keep and magic to learn teach! With help from her family and friends (new, old and VERY OLD), Bea is determined to make everything PERFECT and throw the best party of the year EVER!
A perfect potion of magic and mischief, DIARY OF AN ACCIDENTAL WITCH is THE WORST WITCH meets TOM GATES.

Title 1: The Accidental Witch
Monday 20th September
I’M AT WITCH SCHOOL! Now would be a really good time to discover I can do magic…
Bea Black has just moved to Little Spellshire, a town with a magical secret. When her dad accidentally enrols her at the local witch school, she has to get to grips with some interesting new classes, like, NOW! Also on her to do list? Make friends, look after the grumpy class frog AND do everything humanly magically possible to stay on a broom…
But with the Halloween Ball on the horizon, will she be able to master her wand skills in time to WOW? And more importantly can she keep her newfound magical abilities a secret from dad?
Title 2: Flying High
Monday 1st November
There’s only fifty days until the Winter Solstice, the longest and witchiest night of the year. But before that there’s the Grand Tournament – the biggest and sportiest day in the witchy calendar! And I can’t wait!
Bea Black is all settled into her new life in Little Spellshire, a town with a magical secret. She’s made tonnes of friends at witch school, learned how to levitate frogs (just about) and been working hard on polishing up her broom skills. So when the Winter Solstice Grand Tournament rolls round, she’s ready to rise to the next challenge and fly high.
But then Ms Sparks decides that this year’s tournament will be a bit … er … different. That is, it won’t be an Extraordinary Grand Tournament at all, but rather a very ordinary sports day with Spellshire Academy! With magic firmly forbidden and rivalry reaching new heights, who will emerge victorious? And more importantly, will Bea’s friendship with her best non-witchy friend Ash survive the competition?
Title 3: Ghostly Getaway
Monday 17th January
It’s finally time for the school trip! And we’re off to the SPOOKIEST castle I have EVER seen!
Bea Black is in her second term at witch school and she can’t wait for the Year Seven residential trip to the haunted Cadabra Castle. The students are excited to fly around the famous GO pitch, explore the ancient turrets and have a magical time … if they can just stop arguing! Except Ms Sparks has other plans – this isn’t a holiday, it’s a team-building exercise for a class who desperately need to learn to work together.
But with rumours of a ghost terrorizing the castle, Bea has a lot more to contend with than scavenger hunts and hikes! Not least being paired up with Blair Smith-Smythe, her ULTIMATE frenemy! Will the class learn anything from their time at Cadabra? And more importantly, will Bea and Blair manage to avoid hexing each other for long enough to solve the spooky mystery?
Title 4: Unexpected Guests
Friday 4th February
It feels like I’ve only been asleep for a minute but I can’t risk being late for school today – the Very Important Witches are coming!

Book title: ‘The Whisperling Twins’
Genre: Middle grade, spooky kid lit
Format: Paperback, first edition
Signed: Yes, dedication is available
Bids Accepted: Worldwide
The Book:
Gloucester, 1918.
Nin and Lemon Esmond share a special bond. They're sisters - twins - whisperlings. Which means they have the power to speak with ghosts.
Britain is at war, and Lemon - the more daring of the pair - is frustrated that they have to stay at home. Surely they can use their special gift to help in some way?
Nin doesn't share her sister's need for adventure, but when they see reports of missing whisperlings in the papers, the twins know they must work together to solve what's happening...before they're next.
Yet what awaits them on the dark streets of Gloucester isn't simply an adventure, but a battle of their very own...
Praise for The Whisperling:
'One of the best debuts I've read in YEARS!' - Emma Carroll
'A thrilling Gothic page-turner' - Jacqueline Wilson

Title: Ready Eddie Go (The Birthday Party)
Genre: Children
Format: Hardback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: Worldwide
The Book;
Developed from the Ready, Eddie, Go! animated TV show, each book in this series highlights an area that autistic children find challenging and provides gentle and supportive strategies to help children find ways of coping, which all children can benefit from. The books use clear structure as well as visuals to help readers understand the story and identify strategies that may help when they face similar experiences. There are prompts and interactive elements that can be followed independently, or with a trusted adult.
In this book, Eddie goes to his friend Nina's birthday. He finds out what to expect, and what to do if things become overwhelming. Eddie realises that parties can be a lot of fun!
Beautifully illustrated, and presented in Eddie's trademark friendly voice, the Ready, Eddie, Go! series is designed to speak directly to young autistic children and to provide them with the reassurance and advice they need to be happy day-to-day.
The Author:
Nikki was born in Suffolk, she has two children and worked in Special Education. Nikki's eldest son was diagnosed autistic at the age of 3 in 2013 and she found a lack of inclusion on the bookshelves. In 2019 Nikki’s son wanted to explore his autism diagnosis further as he grew older. She searched again for books and resources with relatable characters, finding nothing available at that time. Nikki decided to create a book for her son, with a special relatable character who reflected her son’s lovely blonde hair, beautiful dark eyes and cheeky smile, naming the character Eddie! Eddie is named after Nikki’s grandfather who passed away shortly after her son was born. The book explored neurodiversity, how we are all different, unique and special. It was such a success for her son that she published it, naming it ‘My Awesome Autism’ to help Eddie reach more children and families worldwide. She went on to write more resources to support children in different social situations and navigate new environments.

A wonderfully funny and surprising picture book about friendship and forgiveness, that’s perfect for reading aloud.
A laugh-out-loud, warm-hearted picture book about friendship and forgiveness.
The Author:
I was born on Friday 30th June 1967 in Prague in Czechoslovakia. I have no memories of the day at all. I grow up on the periphery of Prague. My childhood was fun. I really have no complaints and I enjoyed it enormously.
At the age of 15 I went to study at the High School of Art in Prague - Střední umělecká škola Václava Hollara. It was good, we did everything arty there - printing, drawing, photography, design, sculpture ... and painting (my favourite subject). Ok, so it was school, but I have good memories of it.
For 2 years, from the age of 19, I worked in a state advertising and design agency. It was a joke. In communist Czechoslovakia there was nothing much to advertise or design, so I had time to paint and attend life drawing classes where I prepared myself for further studies. The experience of working at the state design agency during communism wasn’t a complete waste of time. I met many clever and creative people and looking back, it was an ‘interesting time’ to be growing up.
Then I went to study at the Academy of Fine Art in Prague. There I worked hard for 6 years. I drew and painted from morning to evening. In November 1989 there was the ‘Velvet Revolution’. The revolution started with a student strike. Students occupied their universities and schools around the country. Great fun! An exciting time which resulted in new art departments at the Academy of Fine Art, new professors, new inspirations and of course, most importantly the end of communism in Czechoslovakia.
Soon after the revolution an English girl called Claire arrived in our studio to study as a postgraduate. We fell in love and we have been together ever since.
In 1994 I got my Master of Fine Art degree and Claire and I moved to England. We got married in 1995 and had two daughters - Tereza and Cecilia. When I became a dad I made my first book. Walker Books published two of my board books: ‘Strawberries are Red' and 'What is Black and White' in 2001. In the same year I received the Books For Children 'Newcomer 2001' award. That’s what started my career as a writer and illustrator.
Since then I have had many books published in England and lots of other countries. I love what I'm doing - it's fun!

For 2 years, from the age of 19, I worked in a state advertising and design agency. It was a joke. In communist Czechoslovakia there was nothing much to advertise or design, so I had time to paint and attend life drawing classes where I prepared myself for further studies. The experience of working at the state design agency during communism wasn’t a complete waste of time. I met many clever and creative people and looking back, it was an ‘interesting time’ to be growing up.
Then I went to study at the Academy of Fine Art in Prague. There I worked hard for 6 years. I drew and painted from morning to evening. In November 1989 there was the ‘Velvet Revolution’. The revolution started with a student strike. Students occupied their universities and schools around the country. Great fun! An exciting time which resulted in new art departments at the Academy of Fine Art, new professors, new inspirations and of course, most importantly the end of communism in Czechoslovakia.
Soon after the revolution an English girl called Claire arrived in our studio to study as a postgraduate. We fell in love and we have been together ever since.
In 1994 I got my Master of Fine Art degree and Claire and I moved to England. We got married in 1995 and had two daughters - Tereza and Cecilia. When I became a dad I made my first book. Walker Books published two of my board books: ‘Strawberries are Red' and 'What is Black and White' in 2001. In the same year I received the Books For Children 'Newcomer 2001' award. That’s what started my career as a writer and illustrator.
Since then I have had many books published in England and lots of other countries. I love what I'm doing - it's fun!

Book Title: Bringing Back Kay-Kay
Genre: Mystery-Adventure Middle Grade
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK only
The Book : Steeped in mystery and adventure, this brisk and beautifully crafted middle-grade debut set in modern-day India explores the complexities of the sibling bond.
When her older brother, Karthik—Kay-Kay, the golden child of the family—heads to camp for two weeks, Lena’s parents begin showering her with all the attention she craves. For a time, she’s the golden child and secretly wishes her brother wouldn’t come home. But when the scheduled train arrives and Karthik isn’t on it, Lena is stricken with guilt and fear for her beloved Kay-Kay. Her brother has vanished without a trace, and the police view him as a runaway. Incredulous, Lena undertakes a search of her own—reading mysterious poems left in his backpack, interrogating his fellows from the train, retracing his route, and encountering shadowy strangers along the way. Convinced Kay-Kay is still alive even when the rest of her family has given up, Lena steadily unearths her brother’s secrets as her determination to bring him home leads to a heart-stopping discovery. Perhaps Kay-Kay isn’t a golden child after all? Set in a vividly evoked modern-day India, this character-driven middle-grade mystery tackles rich themes—from the sibling bond to self-worth—in a taut and suspenseful adventure.

It's 1950s London and Caro Monday and her friends have become embroiled in a dangerous art heist! When Caro Monday's mother disappears on one of her jaunts, she has no choice but to go and stay with a miserable woman that she's never met. Not only that but she's told that her beloved rabbit, His Nibs, is not allowed to go with her. Luckily, Caro's not one for following rules. With her rabbit in hiding, and her wild behaviour getting her into trouble as soon as she walks through the door, Caro is only going to find herself in deeper water. In the lining of her suitcase is a small but extraordinary painting of a thrush . . . a painting that some dangerous art thieves are hunting down!

Bids Accepted: UK only
The Book 1: How To Be A Revolutionary
‘What do you all come here for?’
‘Why, to change the world, of course! Don’t we all want to change the world . . . if we can?’
A General Election is coming and the Revolutionaries are gathering at Natalie’s house. She’s determined to be a part of it all, but is it really just about red coats, muddy boots and piles of glossy leaflets? Surely changing the world should be more exciting than that?
It’s time to start her OWN revolution – and it all begins with her pet rat . . .
The Book 2 - The Octopus, Dadu and Me
FACT: Octopuses have three hearts.
FACT: Octopuses have BEAKS, like BIRDS.
FACT: The octopus at the aquarium is psychic!
Sashi feels like she has three hearts and they're all breaking. She's losing her beloved Dadu to dementia, and her parents don't even want her to visit him any more.
She hides from her grief in the aquarium, and that's where she meets Ian.
Like her Dadu, Ian is trapped. Like her Dadu, Ian should be at home with his family. And then Ian tells her he's in danger and only she can help him escape.
The Author:
Lucy’s professional background is in journalism. She was a music journalist at BBC 6 Music for 10 years, where she was privileged enough to interview the likes of Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Adele, report live from the side of the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury, and absorb hundreds of hours of wonderful live music.

She also lived for a year in the Chilean city of Valparaiso and for three years in San Francisco, but has now settled on the Sussex clifftops with her husband, two daughters and tortoise.

Book Title: What the Crow Saw Below
Genre: Children
Format: Paperback First Edition
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: Worldwide
The Book:
From the Indie Picture Book Award Winner 2024 Robert Tregoning, comes What the Crow Saw Below, a beautifully wirtten fable-like tale of hope, stunningly illustrated by Greg Stobbs. On the tangled, twisted branches, in a tangled, twisted wood, stood a young crow, looking downward, like her elders said she should. But the curious little crow soon starts to question why the older crows always look for danger below. If she can find the courage to look up and explore the world above the treetops, perhaps she might find the freedom she longs for?
The creators: Robert studied at the Glasgow School of Art before leaping in to a career on the West End stage. He has appeared in shows including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Matilda the Musical.
Robert’s published works include Out of the Blue and The Dress in the Window. As an author, he hopes to help children and adults alike to accept and celebrate all that makes us uniquely ourselves. The stories Robert writes are often stories he wishes he could have read as a child. He hopes they provide a voice of recognition, validation and kindness to those who need it.
Greg Stobbs is an illustrator, street artist and associate lecturer from the South East of the UK. He’s worked internationally on a range of projects, from installations to interactive art pieces. In 2020, Greg created the illustrated digital backdrops for the BBC’s Cbeebies Christmas Pantomime. His debut picture book, Don’t Ask the Dragon by poet Lemn Sissay, was published in 2022. Greg likes to develop work that crosses the boundaries between fine art, street art, and children’s book illustration.

Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication Available
Bids Accepted: UK only
Book 1:
Bronte Tempestra of the Storm Kingdom is taking charge of her own destiny - she will be the first ever princess to become a knight!
But knight school isn't the fun-filled adventure Bronte is expecting - the knights don't seem interested in saving . . . anything. And when she discovers that the Lightning Steeds have gone missing, leaving the Thunder Trolls to wreak havoc across the lands, she knows it's her moment to prove just how brave a princess can be.
Bronte must face down pompous griffin lords and bare-bottomed cloud-stealing gnomes, monstrous horrorflies and spooky zombits. The future of the entire kingdom is at stake!
It's time for the princess to rescue the knights!
Book 2:
When a snowstorm engulfs Sir Sebastian's at the end of the winter term, it looks like all the knights will be stuck at school for the holidays!
But Bronte suspects there's more to the weird weather than meets the eye . . . and when ice sculptures come to life it looks like she has another quest on her hands! As Bronte ventures through deep tunnels and into the heart of a blizzard to confront her frosty foes, can she show she's truly the knight she dreams of being?

Title 1: The Ice Children
At the stroke of midnight on the dawn of December, five-year-old Finn Albedo is found frozen in the city park on a pedestal of ice. The doctor says his heart is beating, but no one can wake him. Finn’s big sister, Bianca, suspects the beautiful sparkling book Finn got from the library has something to do with it all but the mysterious book has vanished.

Each day, more children are found frozen and Bianca realizes she’s running out of time. Her quest to discover the truth and rescue her little brother hurls her into a fantastical winter wonderland, full of beauty and danger, where all is not as it seems.
Can Bianca save her brother and the other Ice Children before they are lost forever?

They must piece together long-hidden clues if they are to solve the mystery of her golden heart scarab.
Can they find it before the Council finds them?

Title: Heavy Metal Badger
Genre: Children's Fiction
Format: Paperback, First Edition
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
*Bonus - included in this Lot is an animal band line up poster! *
The Book;
An empowering rock anthem, from the fantastically-funny Duncan Beedie, celebrating identity and self-expression.
Badger is ready to ROCK!
The music inside him is ready to burst out. He just needs to find a band. But recorder class isn’t right. Neither's the choir. Nor the marching band!
Will Badger ever find his musical tribe? Perhaps it’s been there all along.
Children will love the laugh-out-loud chaos that Badger causes on his quest for a musical home. Packed with tons of rock-themed references, puns and visual jokes, this is THE picture book for budding rock music lovers.
The Author:
I am a children’s author and illustrator from Bristol, UK. I’ve been obsessed with drawing ever since I could hold a felt tip in my clammy little fist, and I have fond memories of sprawling out on my parents’ living room carpet for hours on end, filling sketchbooks with my doodles.
My debut picture book ‘The Bear Who Stared’ (Templar) was nominated for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2017 and my follow up ‘The Lumberjack’s Beard’ was shortlisted for the World Illustration Awards in 2018. Since then I have gone on to write and illustrate titles for Little Tiger, Quarto, Walker Books, and was recently commissioned to design the illustrated autumn trail at Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucestershire.
When not busy drawing kung-fu kicking llamas, heavy metal badgers, or starey bears, I can be found walking my dog Ivor around a muddy park.

Title: Fright Bite
Genre: Children (Middle Grade) Sci - Fi
Format: Paperback
Signed: Dedication is Available
Postage & Packaging; FREE
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book :
The brand new must-read middle-grade novel from the author of super-spooky Crater Lake. Perfect for 9+ fans of R.L.Stine’s Goosebumps and Stranger Things.
It’s Colette’s birthday and the friends are spending an evening at Neon Perch – an epic entertainment spot where they can eat pizza, play mini golf and – best of all – take part in Project Z – an epic new escape room experience. It’s going to be the best night ever!
Or is it . . . ?
Somehow, the escape room somehow seems to know each player’s greatest fears. And worst of all, there are creatures locked up with them. Creatures from their darkest nightmares . . . giant, poisonous RATS!
“Deliciously scary and hilarious comedy-horror, perfectly pitched for eight-plus.”
The Guardian on Dread Wood
Jennifer Killick's book 'Creepy Creations' was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2024-02-19.
The Author:
I have always loved stories. Growing up, I kept so many books hidden in my bed for reading after lights out that there was barely room for me! I also loved writing stories – my first being a tale about a baby bird called Snowy, who hurt her leg and had to hop her way to safety.
I started thinking seriously about being a writer when I was in secondary school, but didn’t do anything about it because I didn’t really believe it was possible. The thought of seeing a book in the shops with my name on it seemed too amazing to ever be a reality. I was afraid that I’d fail, so I didn’t risk trying– and that is definitely the worst reason in the world!
Having my first son was the kick in the bottom I needed. Suddenly I had someone depending on and looking up to me, and it made me want to do better. Once he started school I applied for a Creative Writing MA at Brunel University, intending to write grown up novels full of tragedy and despair. But then I got the idea for ‘The Really Big Stink’ and from then on, writing for children was all I wanted to do.
I live in London, in a house full of children, animals and fairy lights. When I’m not busy mothering or writing (which isn’t often) I love to watch anime and sew plush toys. My favourite things are books, bears, trees, and fluffy slippers, and my favourite place in the world is my home, where I can snuggle up with my dogs, and tea and cake, coming up with story ideas.

I have always loved stories. Growing up, I kept so many books hidden in my bed for reading after lights out that there was barely room for me! I also loved writing stories – my first being a tale about a baby bird called Snowy, who hurt her leg and had to hop her way to safety.
I started thinking seriously about being a writer when I was in secondary school, but didn’t do anything about it because I didn’t really believe it was possible. The thought of seeing a book in the shops with my name on it seemed too amazing to ever be a reality. I was afraid that I’d fail, so I didn’t risk trying– and that is definitely the worst reason in the world!
Having my first son was the kick in the bottom I needed. Suddenly I had someone depending on and looking up to me, and it made me want to do better. Once he started school I applied for a Creative Writing MA at Brunel University, intending to write grown up novels full of tragedy and despair. But then I got the idea for ‘The Really Big Stink’ and from then on, writing for children was all I wanted to do.
I live in London, in a house full of children, animals and fairy lights. When I’m not busy mothering or writing (which isn’t often) I love to watch anime and sew plush toys. My favourite things are books, bears, trees, and fluffy slippers, and my favourite place in the world is my home, where I can snuggle up with my dogs, and tea and cake, coming up with story ideas.

Title1: Santa's Marvellous Mechanical Workshop
A gorgeously illustrated celebration of creativity, upcycling and Christmas magic!
It's Christmas Eve at Lily's new house, but Lily misses the old one.
Then, in a moment of magic, she is whisked away to the North Pole! Santa's elfbots need her help to invent new toys from used, discarded ones.
Lily comes to learn that with a dash of imagination, she can make anything - even, perhaps, a new home...
The perfect give for young budding engineers who love to invent things!
Perfect for fans of The Polar Express and Rosie Revere, Engineer.
This is the picture-book debut of Vashti Hardy, the Blue-Peter-Book-Award-winning author of children's novels known for their distinctive fusion of imagination and invention.

Title 2: North and the Only One
From the award-winning author of The Brightstorm Chronicles, Vashti Hardy, comes a powerful new story set in a surprising world filled with action, adventure and big questions about family and what it means to be human. Perfect for readers aged 9+ and for fans of Ross Welford and Piers Torday.
Twelve-year-old Rose can't remember anything before last week, when she woke up not knowing her own name, her own house, or or even her own mother. The only thing Rose recognized was her puppy, North.
But Mother patiently explained everything - well, not everything. Not the real-feeling dreams Rose has about a mysterious forest she half-recognizes. Or why she is not allowed to stray beyond the garden, out into Luminelle, the vast city surrounding them.
Mother is kind and helpful, but Rose can't shake the feeling that something's not right. Or maybe it's everything that's not right?
But then, when Rose flees to the outside world with North, it quickly becomes clear to Rose that she is different. And for reasons she doesn't understand, she's dangerous.
On an unforgettable journey of discovery, Rose uncovers life-altering truths about the city she's in, the people around her ... and ultimately herself.
An action-packed adventure filled with warmth and humour, this story will expand your mind - and your heart
Tackling big questions such as: What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be family?
Title 3: The Clockwork Key
Embark on an action-packed quest to find the lost town of clockwork in the first of a new fantasy adventure series from Vashti Hardy, packed with her trademark STEM inventions.
Mabel and Will Greystone are looking forward to an exciting holiday with their aunt Lucy, a famous relic hunter in the land of Marvolia.
Using an ancient map, they are searching for the legendary lost town of Umber, famous for the invention of clockwork, which was mysteriously abandoned hundreds of years ago. The only other clue they have is a strange old key left behind by the last inhabitant of the town, but they have no idea what the key is for.
Also on the hunt for Umber is devious Byron Cogsworth, desperate for the glory such an important discovery will bring. Can Mabel, Will and Aunt Lucy find Umber before him? And what secrets will the clockwork key unlock …?
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.

Title 1: Pax and the Missing Head (London Falling Book 1)
Title 2: PAX and the Forgotten Pincher (London Falling Book 2)
Genre: Children - Sci-Fi
Format: Paperbacks
Signed - Dedications are Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
Title 1: Pax and the Missing Head (London Falling Book 1)
Pax has made it through the trials of his first year at Scholastic Parliament, but any hopes of a quieter second year are quickly dashed when he makes a shocking discovery in the school’s basement. A new student joins the school, acting suspiciously and muscling in on Pax’s friendship with Samuel. At least being reigning champions in the Parliamentary Polls allows Pax and his friends to explore the city at weekends. But drone raids and cyber-attacks disrupt life in New London while a paranoid mayor cracks down hard on terrorism.
Unwittingly, Pax helps an innocent man get captured. Driven by guilt, he seeks out the Underground resistance movement and is given a mission to steal some codes from the mayor. In the process, Pax uncovers the shocking truth about a new factory that threatens the lives of millions of people. He is torn between stopping this latest sinister plot and focusing on schoolwork to keep alive his dream of becoming an engineer. To achieve both, he’ll need help. But who can he trust in a city full of falsehoods? What sacrifices will he need to make? Find out in the latest instalment in the London Falling series.
Title 2: Title 2: PAX and the Forgotten Pincher (London Falling Book 2)
In a country beset by civil war, New London defends itself behind a giant wall. Inside the city, children are forced to work from an early age, except for the lucky few who train to be leaders in the re-purposed Palace of Westminster. 12-year-old orphaned Pax is brilliant at recycling old tech. He enjoys working on the verti-farms and just wants a bit of peace and quiet. But when that is taken away from him, his only hope is to pass a near-impossible exam and join the other students in Scholastic Parliament. There he’ll make new friends and new enemies. He’ll get tested like never before. And he’ll discover that not everything is quite what it seems under the mayor’s harsh leadership.

Title: Kòkú Àkànbí and the Heart of Midnight
Genre: Children
Format:Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
Although he spent the first three years of his life in Nigeria, Kòkú can’t remember much about it. He’s lived the last ten years in the UK with Uncle Tunji but has never quite fitted in and has the additional burden of an incurable disease that makes him small for his age and causes pain crises that blight his life.
When a museum trip ends in disaster, Uncle Tunji insists Kòkú spends his summer holidays reconnecting with his roots in Olori, the land of origins. But, on arriving in Nigeria, he is abruptly immersed in a culture he doesn’t understand and a tribal war that threatens his very existence.
It seems he is the only one who can rescue night, and its magical creatures, from the machinations of the ruling Ogun tribe. But how can one small, sick boy overcome such a powerful adversary?
The culture shockKòkú experiences is overwhelming and confusing, leaving his brain tied up in knots. This is reflected in the writing which may be challenging for some readers but those who persevere will be swept into a whirlwind of West African mythology and magic.
An action-packed adventure featuring a reluctant and unlikely hero.
The Author:
Maria Motunrayo Adebisi graduated from the University of Oxford with a degree in English Literature. As part of her degree, she focused on post-colonial literature from Nigeria, and on graduating she realised that she would want to write a novel that would speak to children straddling British and African identities and make them proud of both.
Maria's West African mythology makes it accessible and so engaging for children across the world. She empowers even more children through representation in the story with Kòkú’s sickle cell anaemia. With a voice quite different from other middle grade novels, this is a story that will appeal to so many readers age 9+!

The Book;
Although he spent the first three years of his life in Nigeria, Kòkú can’t remember much about it. He’s lived the last ten years in the UK with Uncle Tunji but has never quite fitted in and has the additional burden of an incurable disease that makes him small for his age and causes pain crises that blight his life.
When a museum trip ends in disaster, Uncle Tunji insists Kòkú spends his summer holidays reconnecting with his roots in Olori, the land of origins. But, on arriving in Nigeria, he is abruptly immersed in a culture he doesn’t understand and a tribal war that threatens his very existence.
It seems he is the only one who can rescue night, and its magical creatures, from the machinations of the ruling Ogun tribe. But how can one small, sick boy overcome such a powerful adversary?
The culture shockKòkú experiences is overwhelming and confusing, leaving his brain tied up in knots. This is reflected in the writing which may be challenging for some readers but those who persevere will be swept into a whirlwind of West African mythology and magic.
An action-packed adventure featuring a reluctant and unlikely hero.

Title: Murder at Wintertide
Genre: Children - Action& Adventure
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: Worldwide
The Book;
"The latest in a series of murder mysteries distinguished by their accessibility and realism. This story has neither quaint period detail nor caricature villains, but a body hidden in a plastic binbag, break-ins, chases and a vicious attack with a car. It is much more Junior Line of Duty than Junior Miss Marple." - Nicolette Jones, The Times
“Whodunnit? Fleur Hitchcock, whose crime novels for children have just the right level of intrigue and jeopardy for this age group. Her latest begins with a trunk coated in snow, found by two children ― Ruby and her stepbrother Lucas, the son of her mother’s Italian partner, Paolo. This being a Hitchcock story (appropriately she shares a surname with Alfred), it contains a dead body.” - Alex O’Connell, The Times
A gripping thriller for readers who like danger and mystery and chills and spills from the comfort of their sofas... Unputdownable.
When Lucas and Ruby find an abandoned trunk covered in snow, Lucas says there's bound to be a body inside. Ruby laughs but what if he's right? Nervously she starts to open it, and immediately wishes she hadn't. From that moment on, they're drawn into a thrilling mystery, one that they have to solve before the falling snow smothers all trace of wrongdoing...
The Author:
Fleur has worked as a shop assistant, a dinner lady and a curator. She has pulled up more dandelions than a person should and painted hundreds and hundreds of small wooden boats for her husband, who is a toymaker. She works as a children's bookseller, she has two almost grown up children and she lives in the West Country.
Her books are adventures, or mysteries or thrilling mysteries with added adventure. Dubbed as writing "thrillers for beginners" by the Sunday Times she continues to aim to keep her readers on the edges of their seats

Book Title: Doctor Fairytale
Genre: Picture book
Format: Hardback, First Edition (published Oct ‘24)
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: Worldwide or UK only
The Book : Doctor Fairytale
“My name is Doctor Fairytale, I'm always super busy. My list of patients is so long, it sometimes makes me dizzy!”
In a magical land full of familiar fairytale faces, Doctor Fairytale and her dog, Nurse Pup, travel far and wide to help the injured and poorly! Rapunzel's head is hurting from her mother climbing her long locks, Goldilocks has splinters in her bottom from the Bears' broken chairs, and Cinderella has blistered toes from walking home without a shoe! But no matter the bump or bruise – and no matter how mischievous the patient! – kind and capable Doctor Fairytale is ready with her doctor's bag to lend a helping hand. But what happens when Doctor Fairytale falls ill herself?
The Author:
When Catherine Jacob isn't writing rolicking rhyming picture books or tales for older children, visiting schools with her creative writing workshops or reporting on TV at Channel 5 News where she's won many awards for her journalism. Catherine has just published her first picture book with Walker Books (illustrated by Hoang Giang) and has a number of exciting new picture book projects in the pipeline with some sought-after illustrators and various different publishers. Her recent rhyming picture book, Betsy Buglove Saves the Bees, which was illustrated by the internationally-renowned Lucy Fleming, became a UK children's environmental bestseller and has so far been translated and sold into eleven territories, with books two and three in the Betsy series hot on its heels. Catherine’s Puppy Club books, her first chapter book series for slightly older readers now numbers four. Her laugh out loud spooky escapade, There's a Troll on my Toilet is a perennial favourite during the spooky season.

Genre: Middle grade contemporary fantasy
Format: Paperback, first edition
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: Worldwide
The Book : Take flight on this beautifully-written, epic and soaring new adventure, perfect for fans of Abi Elphinstone, Aisling Fowler, A. F. Steadman and Pari Thompson.
Astrid has lived in the rhubarb shed her whole life. The outside world is dangerous, Mama explains; she will understand when she’s older, but she cannot set foot beyond the door. Astrid longs to see the world; to meet other children; to live in the farmhouse with Mama. But what she longs for most of all is to see the stars.
Then one night, a stranger unlocks the shed: a stranger with wings. She has come to take Astrid to a secret city in the sky called London Overhead, far above the highest peak of the Shard. For Astrid, like her, is a Librae – and will soon grow wings of her own . . .
Astrid is swept into a breathtaking and magical world of new friendships, sweeping adventures and unimaginable discoveries at the ancient, beautiful school for Librae students: Starminster. But quickly she learns that all is not well in the glimmering city. And when rumours abound of missing children in London Underfoot, she begins to realise that Mama may have been right about the dangers waiting for Astrid all along . . .
The Author:
Megan Hopkins is a Northern Irish writer who grew up in Belfast (NI), Stuttgart (Germany), Chesterfield (England), and Nairobi (Kenya). She now lives in Kent with her husband and three sons. She is a secondary school English teacher and a member of the Sevenoaks Bookshop Writers’ Group. Megan has always dreamt of flying.

Book Title: Ice Cream Boy
Genre: Children (MG)
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK only
The Book :
Twelve-year-old Luca Verani has his future all mapped out: who needs school when he’s going to take over his family’s ice cream cafe? But then his aunt announces she’s selling the struggling business and Luca realises that his nonna’s memory is disappearing. Plus, he’s starting high school and one of his best friends Sitara is being targeted by racist bullies. As Luca’s worries pile up, will his dreams melt away?
Ice Cream Boy is a heart-warming novel from Lindsay Littleson, author of Carnegie-nominated Guardians of the Wild Unicorns. Full of authentic dialogue, gentle humour and true-to-life characters, this engaging middle-grade novel explores the thoughts and feelings of children affected by dementia.
The Author:
Lindsay Littleson has four grown-up children and lives in the village of Uplawmoor near Glasgow. She was a full-time primary teacher for many years but took early retirement in 2019 to focus on her writing. Before becoming a teacher she spent eight years as possibly the worst PAYE auditor ever to be employed by the Inland Revenue.
In 2014 she began writing for children and won the Kelpies Prize for her first children’s novel The Mixed Up Summer of Lily McLean, which was followed by a sequel, The Awkward Autumn of Lily McLean. Guardians of the Wild Unicorns was nominated for the 2019 Carnegie Medal and shortlisted for both the Stockton Children’s Book Prize and East Sussex Children’s Book Prize. Secrets of the Last Merfolk was published by Floris in 2021.
Lindsay's WW1 novel Shell Hole was shortlisted for the Dundee Great War Children’s Book Prize and she enjoyed engaging in research so much that she was inspired to write another two historical books, A Pattern of Secrets, set in Victorian Paisley and The Titanic Detective Agency. The Rewilders, which was long listed for the 2022 SPARK! School Book Award and Euro Spies have also been published by Cranachan Books.
Ice Cream Boy is her latest novel. It came out with Floris Books in May 2024.

Title: The FREEZING Cold Snowman
Genre: Children
Format: Picture Book
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
Two brothers build a snowman in the garden. At night the snowman comes Tap! Tap! Tapping! the window looking for warmth. Find out how the brothers react to the amazing experience.
A warm, exciting adventure for young children with friendship running throughout.
Interactive with children who can search for the hidden snowman in each picture.
The Author:
I’m retired and live in South Wales, UK, born of a Welsh mother and Polish father. I’ve been writing for over thirty years and have written quite a lot of stories and books, some for my children when they were young. I now dedicate my books to my grandson, great nieces and great nephews.
My aim is always to write exciting, adventurous stories for children which will linger in their minds long after they read the books. Perhaps making them want to read them over and over, hopefully firing their own imaginations. If I can get a bit of humour into the stories, that’s great too.
There’s a theme to a lot of my books where the main character solves their own problem or joins forces with other characters to resolve problems.
Overall I want children to read my books to help overcome illiteracy, so on certain literary occasions in the year I may donate books to children, schools or hospitals, etc.

My aim is always to write exciting, adventurous stories for children which will linger in their minds long after they read the books. Perhaps making them want to read them over and over, hopefully firing their own imaginations. If I can get a bit of humour into the stories, that’s great too.
There’s a theme to a lot of my books where the main character solves their own problem or joins forces with other characters to resolve problems.
Overall I want children to read my books to help overcome illiteracy, so on certain literary occasions in the year I may donate books to children, schools or hospitals, etc.

Title 2; Wider Than The Sea
Genre: Children
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedications are Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
Title 1: The Tree That Sang To Me
Some feelings are so big, they're hard to express. . . A dyslexia-friendly, beautifully illustrated verse story of friendship, family and self-discovery, perfect for readers aged 9+. By the author of Wider Than the Sea, winner of the Eilís Dillon Award, KPMG Children's Books Ireland Awards 2024
"A beautifully told story of resilience" Irish Times
"With an uplifting ending, Kai's story will remain in your mind for a long time ... a fantastic read for a class group" Editor's Choice, Children's Books Ireland, Inis Magazine
When Kai's big sister Jen leaves the family home, Kai knows it's all his fault. His secret burns, but he tells no one, just keeps pulling at tufts of his hair. But in the broad branches of a wasteland sycamore tree, Kai feels safe and free from his worries. Up there he feels he can be whoever he wants to be. And when a girl called Sky starts climbing Kai's tree, a friendship blossoms ... a friendship with the power to heal.
Up here
it's like
I'm part of something else
the wind
the leaves
the air
free to be
whoever I want to be.
Title 2; Wider Than The Sea
The award-winning tale of a girl who feels broken, and the dolphin who makes her whole. A powerful story of friendship, hope and self-discovery, perfect for readers aged 9+, beautifully illustrated by George Ermos.
Winner of the Eilís Dillon Award for debut children's book at the KPMG Children's Books Ireland Awards 2024!
Ró finds school impossible. She knows people think she's shy - and stupid. But when she goes to the bay each afternoon to watch the dolphin leap through the water, she finds the strength to keep going. Then the dolphin disappears, and everything starts falling apart.
Can Ró overcome her fears to find him?
I watch each rise and dip of wave
know Sunny must be out there
somewhere
wonder if he's missing me.
I remember that moment
when I touched his skin
and know that finding him
is the only thing
that can make
the aching stop
make me feel
not broken.

*Two Book Bonanza
Title 1: Secrets at No.6
Title 2: Secrets at No.7
Genre: Children - Mystery & Adventure
Format: Paperbacks
Signed: Dedications are Available
Postage & Packaging; FREE
Bids Accepted: Worldwide
The Book 1 : Secrets at No.6
Edwardian London, a forbidden friendship and a house filled with secrets …
A robbery rocks the entire household of No.6, and everyone is a suspect. Twelve-year-old trainee housemaid Alice and reclusive young aristocrat Theo are determined to solve the case. As they investigate upstairs and downstairs to track down the culprit, the mystery deepens and danger looms closer.
Join them in an adventure spanning the grand streets of Belgravia to the Docklands of the East End in their headlong race to uncover the truth.
The Book 2: Secrets at No.7
An abandoned mansion, strange noises and secret spies …
Detective duo Alice and Theo reunite with their East End friends to solve a new mystery in Edwardian London. Their curiosity is awakened when sounds come from the spooky house next door. A plea for help catapults the gang into a thrilling chase.
Join them as they dash across historic sites from the British Museum to hidden catacombs in a fast-paced action adventure.
The Author:
Hello! My name is Jemma, and I write stories for the young and the young at heart!
Over the years I’ve lived and worked in London, Exeter, New York and Delaware, and am now living close to where I grew up in Sevenoaks, Kent.
I’m best known for The Adventurers Series, featuring a group of children and their Border collie as they travel everywhere from Cornwall to Cairo in search of treasure, adventure and fun! The series has been translated into Estonian, Finnish, Polish and Spanish to date, and won the inaugural Children’s Selfies Award in 2020.
In 2023 Secrets at No.6 was released: the first book in my new mystery series set in Edwardian London.
Previously in 2021 my first non-Adventurers book, The Treasure of Tea Towers, was published by Klett Sprachen in Germany.
Reading has always been one of my favourite things to do; during reading hour at primary school I would become so absorbed in imaginary worlds that at the end my name would have to be called several times before I’d notice! One teacher even arranged a hearing test for me! (My hearing was fine – my listening skills, not so much!)
A good book becomes like an old friend, being revisited again and again. I hope to entertain young readers with adventures and laughs to enjoy alongside the characters.

It’s Christmas Eve with the hoglets!
Prickles and Primrose are excited. That is until… As they decorate the Christmas tree they discover the star for the top has shattered. Not to be defeated – the brave hoglets set out into the woods to seek a substitute star but stumble across Santa instead.

AND… what about the star?

The Author:
Lynette was born in London, but raised in Burnley, Lancashire. From the tender age of five she lived with her grandmother who gave her books to keep her quiet. Lynette found she had a passion for reading and started writing once she began school.

Her first novel Sinners of Magic won her acclaim and the story soon turned into a trilogy. With readers begging for more Lynette ended the series with a spin off story featuring a windigo.
Wishing to be a multi-genre author, Lynette turned her pen to romance. Her two novels: Cracks in the Glass and Two Kinds of Truth were a huge hit with readers.
Returning to her love of short story writing, Lynette entered the 2019 SWWJ (Society of Women Writers and Journalists) competition. A Slice of Cake – a light-hearted story about her five year old granddaughter came runner up.
In 2020 Lynette launched a compilation of short stories. Most having won popular writing competitions.
Later this year, Lynette is breaking out of her comfort zone with the release of her new children’s book. Hoglets’ Christmas Magic is a delightful tale starring two adorable hedgehogs. The book is due for publication 28th August by White Rabbit Books.
Lynette lives in North East Lincolnshire with her husband. All her grandchildren are the apple of her eye.
