The surprising ending will tickle readers and spark endless discussions about complex friendships and conflicting feelings - can you be fiercely competitive and still be a good teammate?'  (Publication summary)

'There's No Such Book is a funny and heartwarming that will resonate with anyone who has experienced the frenzy of Book Week.

'It's the night before the Book Week parade and Ellie announces that she needs a costume by the morning. Mum, who is taken by surprise, desperately tries to piece together a costume from what’s lying around the house …

'They went into the bathroom.
‘Hmm,’ said Mum. ‘Don’t I remember once reading you a book about a monster whose skin looked like it was made of bright green towels?’
‘No,’ said Ellie. ‘There is no such book.

'Ellie heads to bed only with Mum's promise that she’ll have a costume sorted by the morning. Mum stays true to her word, but perhaps not in the way that Ellie was hoping.'  (Publication summary)

I'm Jimmy and I’m living in a totally weird ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE! All of the adults in my town of Buttburgher have turned into zombies, but not the flesh-eating zombies like the ones you see in movies. These zombies are COWS! Literally! Everyone is moo-ing and drooling all over the place! And if their drool gets on you, you’re toast.
