Dragon’s Green by Scarlett Thomas
Beat the back to school blues by finding out what one very special group of friends are getting up to in Dragon’s Green!
That’s the first in the Worldquake sequence, a trilogy of books all about magic and adventure!
Effie and her friends seem to be normal school children but when they discover their hidden Otherworld strengths, they are catapulted into the adventure of a lifetime!
After the Worldquake, magic is seeping into the Realworld.
Effie knows about magic – time in her grandfather’s library has made sure of that, but there’s still much more that she has to learn.
She must travel to the mysterious Otherworld, unlock the hidden meaning of an old book called Dragon’s Green, and battle to save the entire universe!
The Murderer’s Ape by Jakob Wegelius

Sally is a gorilla who moves among humans but understands everything.
She and the Chief are devoted friends who operate a big boat carrying loads of important stuff.
A job they are offered pays big money but the deal ends badly and the Chief is sent to jail for something he didn’t do!
For Sally the gorilla, this is the start of a big quest to clear the Chief’s name!

Billy and the Minpins is the story of heroic Billy who saves the Minpins, tiny tree-dwelling people whose children are the size of matchsticks, from the fearsome Gruncher!
A Place Called Perfect by Helena Duggan
There’s something very wrong in a town called Perfect, but the adults are too blind to see it!
Everyone is neat, tidy, polite, and perfectly behaved all the time. What’s more, everyone has to wear massive glasses…
Violet never wanted to move to Perfect, she was quite happy in her hometown but her Dad got a job as an optician that he just couldn’t turn down.
But as her own eye sight begins to deteriorate and as Mum starts acting as strangely, Violet knows something weird is up…
She vows to discover the secret at the heart of Perfect.
