                         COMIC CLUB IS BACK
                      WITH A NEW POINT OF VIEW!

               As a child, Dav Pilkey was diagnosed with
               dyslexia and ADHD. Dav was so disruptive in
               class that his teachers made him sit out in
               the hall every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw
               and make up stories, so he spent his time in
               the hallway creating his own original comic
               books. In the second grade, Dav Pilkey
               created a comic book about a superhero
               named Captain Underpants. His teacher ripped it up
               and told him he couldn’t spend the rest of his life making silly books.
               Fortunately, Dav was not a very good listener.

               Dav has gone on to create award-winning and best-selling books for children.
               His Captain Underpants series has more than 80 million copies in
               print worldwide and has been translated into more than 28 languages. Dav’s
               creation, Dog Man, continues to be a #1 NEW YORK TIMES best-selling
               series. Dav’s newest creation, Cat Kid Comic Club, released in
               December 2020 is already being devoured by readers around the world.

Words, sentences, and even worse, paragraphs fill up books. Ugh! So what’s a reluctant reader to do? Actor Max Greenfield (New Girl) and New
York Times best-selling illustrator Mike Lowery bring the energy and laugh-out-loud fun out for every child (and parent) who thinks they don’t want
to read a book. Joining the ranks of favourites like The Book With No Pictures and The Serious Goose, this clever and playful read-aloud breaks the
fourth wall and will have all readers coming back for laughs again and again!
SALES POINTS:
• From actor Max Greenfield (fan-favourite ‘Schmidt’ from television’s New Girl) comes a hilarious picture book for every child who thinks
  they don’t like to read books (and all the kids—and grown-ups—who do)!
• The witty text and eye-catching lettering and illustrations go hand-in-hand to make this the kind of book parents will want to read-aloud and
  that kids will be clamouring to be read again and again.
• Perfect for reluctant readers, and kids who experience reading difficulties.

Stacey’s so excited! She’s invited her friends from the Baby-sitters Club down to New
York City for a long weekend. It’s going to be perfect – a party and a sleepover Friday
night, a big baby-sitting job on Saturday, and lots of sightseeing on Sunday. But what a
mistake! The Baby-sitters are way out of place in the big city. Mary Anne sounds like a
walking guide book; Dawn’s afraid of everything; Kristy can’t keep her mouth shut; and
Claudia’s jealous of Stacey’s friends. Does this mean Stacey can’t be the Baby-sitters’
friend anymore? Will the Baby-sitters Club fall apart?

  The last thing Jack expected when he bungee-jumped at the fair was to plummet
  into the weird and wonderfully labyrinthine Rooms. Along with a girl called
  Cally, he must navigate his way through them—outwitting a grumpy polar bear,

  at the same time come to terms with the death of his mother. An unmissable,
  high energy debut that young readers will adore escaping into.

11-year-old Maggie Helsby is new at school and wishes she was better at fitting in. Having
recently moved to the small countryside town of Goreway, with her parents, Maggie is
looking forward to a fresh start. Obsessed with scary stories and horror films, Maggie is
intrigued by their new house, left to them by a great uncle she never knew, and sitting
right on the edge of the famously creepy Skeleton Woods. And within the Wood,
Maggie uncovers Skeleton Manor, a run-down, derelict castle... that is really a vampire
headquarters, concealed by vampiric enchantments. It houses the British vampire
community, led by the notorious, evil leader Count Bloodthirst. But for some reason,
those enchantments didn’t work on Maggie. At Skeleton Manor, Maggie meets a young
vampire by the name of Sharptooth Shadow. Together with her bat with the oversized
ears, Bat-Ears, Maggie and Sharptooth become unlikely friends. But when Maggie
discovers that she is from an ancient line of vampire slayers, can the two remain friends?

  Get ready to hit the big time! In Illumination’s Sing 2, can-do koala Buster Moon and his all-
  star cast of animal performers—including harried mother pig Rosita, rocker porcupine Ash,
  earnest gorilla Johnny and more—have turned the New Moon Theatre into a local hit. But
  Buster has his eyes on a bigger prize: to launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet in
  glamorous Redshore City, the glittering entertainment capital of the world. All the laughs,
  lights and letdowns of the sequel film are retold in this junior novelisation that’s perfect for
  girls and boys aged 6 to 9. It includes a full-colour insert full of bonus movie content!
