Trudi AT THE FOODBANK
Trudi and Her Mum are setting out on an adventure.It probably won't involve monsters or sea creatures or secret agents or doughnuts. Probably?Where do we start talking about food poverty to kids?Trudi is a funny little character who is keen to find out more about the world. In this storybook she is taking a walk with her mother to visit the local food bank. However when you are very small not everything makes sense straight away. Henry Limbert is an illustration student who has developed this picturebook to be engaging and informative for preschool and early years children but also entertaining for adults to read aloud.This story is primarily designed to help small people who might visit a food bank feel happy about their experience. We hope it will give all children and adults a way to begin talking about Foodbanks and why people need them. It should also make everyone laugh."The picture book has been created as part of an illustration project looking at current issues. The initial drive for creating a story came from a news article. The article talks about a parent feeling shame for being the position where she has no option but to rely on a food bank to help feed her daughter. The authors feel strongly that no child should feel shame for needing to eat and hope this story can help children see food banks in a positive light."

Hazelthorn
AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! CG Drews, instant New York Times-bestselling author of Don't Let the Forest In, returns with another deeply unsettling and yet hauntingly beautiful tale of murder and botanical body horror, perfect for fans of Andrew Joseph White, Annihilation, and We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Evander has lived like a ghost in the forgotten corners of the Hazelthorn estate ever since he was taken in by his reclusive billionaire guardian, Byron Lennox-Hall, when he was a child. For his safety, Evander has been given three ironclad rules to follow: He can never leave the estate. He can never go into the gardens. And most importantly, he can never again be left alone with Byron's charming, underachieving grandson, Laurie. That last rule has been in place ever since Laurie tried to kill Evander seven years ago, and yet somehow Evander is still obsessed with him. When Byron suddenly dies, Evander inherits Hazelthorn's immense gothic mansion and acres of sprawling grounds, along with the entirety of the Lennox-Hall family's vast wealth. But Evander's sure his guardian was murdered, and Laurie may be the only one who can help him find the killer before they come for Evander next. Perhaps even more concerning is how the overgrown garden is refusing to stay behind its walls, slipping its vines and spores deeper into the house with each passing day. As the family's dark secrets unravel alongside the growing horror of their terribly alive, bloodthirsty garden, Evander needs to find out what he's really inheriting before the garden demands to be fed once more.

"The next great middle grade author." --Colby Sharp, literacy advocateFrom the USA Today-bestselling author of Jawbreaker and Slouch, Breakout is a fresh and funny middle-grade novel about a girl with chronic acne figuring out how to feel good in her own skin. Ellis Starr likes learning about active volcanoes. She does not like having acne that resembles them. But it's not just cosplaying as a pepperoni pizza that has Ellis on the verge of erupting. Her mom's hot-and-cold moods have the two of them butting heads nonstop--especially now that her mom is dating for the first time since her parents' separation. Then there's Ellis's best friend, Aggy, whose own life--and skin--seems perfect. And who could forget that Ellis still needs to decide on a research topic for a big school project. With eighth grade proving to be every bit as pesky as a new pimple, Ellis's only bright spot is the time she spends with her aunt Lydia, whose adorable puppy, Rocco, is a natural stress reliever. (And perhaps the perfect subject for her project.) Maybe this season of breakouts can lead to a breakthrough about what Ellis needs to truly feel good in her own skin. Rising star author Christina Wyman takes on a quintessential middle-school experience--acne--with her trademark humor, honesty, and heart. Breakout is a must-read for kids ages 8-12 who love Raina Telgemeier, Terri Libenson, Kelly Yang, Gordon Korman, and other endlessly funny and deeply heartfelt books that tackle big topics and universal coming-of-age experiences alike.
