All before his tragic death, aged 18. In this rich and vibrant biography, prize-winning author, Sarah Fraser, brings Henry Stuart to life as the epitome of a Renaissance prince - active, virtuous, ambitious.

Just River
The Otis, an inconsequential river-not the Hudson-flows through Wattsville, a small city a few hours north but a universe away from the real City, capital C. You might think the everyday people who live here, in this land of scarce opportunity, are also inconsequential. Until you meet them. Sam, a cross-dresser with a voice like Tina Turner's and his best friend Carol, a cashier who stress eats, prove their mettle when Carol's daughter Garnet is imprisoned for defending herself against a violent boyfriend. Sam and Carol's plots to save Garnet have consequences, however. An innocent boy is blamed for their actions and kidnapped, a dog gets poisoned, and Garnet's life is imperiled as parole becomes a distant dream. In the end, it's the river that offers up justice for these heroes-at-heart. But they will need to be able to swim.
Snatched
Children have been disappearing from orphanages for years. It's only when orphan Anna meets heartthrob Jamie at Gruble's Home for Singular Orphans that they discover an underlying connection, and begin to dig. However, digging for answers has grave consequences, and the pair learn things they wish had remained unknown. Anna's search for a hopeful future is threatened by secrets, lies and one person's very particular obsession.
One Camel Called Doug
A warmly reassuring rhyming story (with a fun counting element!) about how it’s ok to need a little alone time, from the author of the award-winning The Littlest Yak. Doug the camel is all alone and sometimes he wonders whether one is enough (it makes playing hide and seek terribly tough…). So when at first one, then two, then three, then four more camels turn up (followed by a whole camel herd), Doug delights in the possibilities all these new friends bring. But when Doug is ‘all camelled out’ from all the excitement and it's time to count down to bedtime, he takes just as much pleasure from the peace of being alone once again. Lu Fraser’s warm, funny text is a delight to read out loud and is brilliantly illustrated by Sarah Warburton in the first book from this exciting new picture book partnership. By Lu Fraser & Kate Hindley: The Littlest Yak

Humanities Emergency
Medical school is a wild ride. You're asked to do things you would rather not do. You say things you wish you'd never said. But you also grow. And make mistakes. And learn from your mistakes. Then you grow even more. Somewhere along the way, in the chaos of it all, you transition from being a redundant, observing appendage, to a useful, contributing member of society. You become a doctor. But you can also lose part of yourself. Your empathy. Compassion. Ability to love. In 'Humanity Emergency, ' Dr. Sarah Fraser has published a collection of poetry she wrote as a medical student. The poems speak to the 'emergency' for more humanity in medicine, and in the world more generally. The time is now. The person is you. It is an emergency. Go.
