Tapper Watson is an ordinary Erisian boy who loves adventure stories. When his uncle sends him away on a space submarine to other worlds, he just wants to go home again. On an unscheduled visit to Earth, he meets Fern Shakespeare and a talking plant called Morse, and their real-life adventures begin. But chased through worlds by a pair of trigger-happy lobster mobsters in search of the mysterious Nemo Machine, Tapper begins to realise that he might not be so ordinary after all…

    We Are A Circus is the charming tale of a rainbow family, riding around Thessaloniki on a bike. They are poor and living precariously, but they are happy together and have fun in the sun and in the rain (though sometimes they get a bit cold).

As the book progresses, we follow them through the seasons, playing and cycling and fending off the weather. When their landlord turfs them out of their house, things get more serious as they have to find a new home, fast.

Nasta has created an exuberant, compassionate story, which is beautifully complemented by Rosie Fencott's energetic artwork.
We are a circus.
Fortunately not like the ones that train animals.
(Fortunately means "happiness")
We are trained by animals! They even make us jump through flaming hoops!

I am kidding. Animals would never do this.

    An irrepressible third grader’s school project to help the planet causes chaos instead in this funny, accessible chapter book. 
 
Marty McGuire’s third-grade class has a special assignment: Save the Earth! Even more exciting, the best project wins a special award. Marty’s pretty sure her classmates’ ideas won’t stand a chance against her plan to turn the garbage from the school cafeteria into fertilizer. All she needs is a little help from her teammate and best friend, Annie—and the worms in her grandma’s garden. But it turns out that worms are awfully SLOW eaters. And when the critters escape, the whole class starts grumbling. Can Marty save the Earth without losing her friends? 
 
Praise for Marty McGuire Digs Worms!
