SHORTLISTED FOR THE SPEECH PATHOLOGY AWARDS 2019 New kids aren't cool. Everyone knows that. Eleven-year-old Sam is the new kid at school but he has a plan, or two, or three to make himself the most popular kid ever. What you are about to read is unforgettable (lonely losers, frog underpants, human umbrellas, bad boys ...). It's bumpy (jumping out a window is never a good idea). It's the story of a kid who wants to be more. P.S. Sam was not harmed (too much) during the telling of this story. PRAISE FOR THE NEW KID: UNPOPULAR ME "Supported by Matthew Martin's humorous illustrations this is a terrific junior fiction novel to get kids reading and enjoying it. It may even draw in a few of those reluctant readers." Children's Book Council of Australia

In a land where peace is threatened by assassins, invading armies and unhappy peasants, one knight must be brave enough to journey forth on a great quest. 'But that can't be me,' thought Sir Roderick. 'I'm the most junior knight in the kingdom. And definitely the most hopeless. They wouldn't pick me to go somewhere so dangerous ... Would they?
Everyone is guilty of something. Handywoman Barb Young has lived in the sleepy coastal town of Bullford Point for over fifty years - and frankly, in that time, not much has happened, unless you count that business where a bush turkey managed to board the ferry a couple of years ago. When Joe Griffiths returns from Sydney after six years of drug addiction, jail and, eventually, rehab, Barb offers him a job, hoping to help him turn his life around. However, when another new resident of Bullford Point is murdered, Joe becomes the prime suspect. Barb thinks the police have got it wrong, but the more she tries to find the truth and clear Joe's name, the more confusing things become. Is the murder...
Orphaned twins Dani and Bart have lived and worked at Tintarfell Castle for as long as they can remember. Nothing remarkable has ever happened to them - until the day Bart is kidnapped. As Dani and the devious Prince Edward try to find him, strange becomes even stranger when they encounter a sarcastic giant, a mysterious sorcerer, a retired witch and a warthog named Flango. Dani and Bart must decide how far they will go to save themselves, the kingdom, and each other. A thrilling adventure from broadcaster and comedian James O'Loughlin, author of The Adventures of Sire Roderick the Not-Very Brave and Daisy Malone and the Blue Glowing Stone. PRAISE FOR THE ADVENTURES OF SIR RODERICK, THE NOT-VERY BRAVE "Very funny ... Simply delightful, whatever your age" Daily Telegraph
Someone has to save the world and that someone is DAISY MALONE. It's Daisy's 12th birthday but she's got more earth-shattering things on her mind. Her father is scared of everything, her mother has disappeared, and she and her dog Ben (a highly intelligent, talking dog - his words!) have just found a mysterious blue glowing stone in the attic. But what is it, and why does everyone want it? A HILARIOUS NEW ADVENTURE FROM THE AUTHOR OF Sir Roderick the not-very brave 'Very funny... Simply delightful, whatever your age' Daily Telegraph
Disaster strikes. A ship goes down, a plane crashes, a party of travellers is cut off. But when the panic and confusion subside and the dead are counted, the survivors must find a way to keep surviving. And in desperation, unconstrained by law or conventional authority, the tactics they resort to can be both horrifying and ultimately self-destructive. Learmonth and Tabakoff outline the physical and neurological changes that typically affect the victims of disaster. Then, using true stories from history as case studies, they investigate the scenario famously imagined by William Golding in Lord of the Flies and borne out by the extraordinary Robbers Cave experiments of the 1950s. As this fasci...
