    Pinch’s magic has arrived … and it’s causing a whole load of trouble!  
    Pinch Perkins is very excited that her Spark magic is finally here – she has been having so much fun bringing things to life (although Sir Furalot, her beloved teddy bear, is not happy about it!). But with magic comes responsibility – and when Pinch is told off one too many times by her mum and dad for causing chaos, she starts to wonder if being magical is all it’s cracked up to be. 
    Then Pinch starts to have strange dreams, feeling like someone – something – is watching her. Surely it can’t be the strange tree, the one with bewitching red leaves, that has appeared on Tricky Dragon Lane? 
    When Pinch awakens one night deep in the forest – an enchanted place full of dangerous and mysterious creatures – unicorns, highway men, ghosts! – she realises that she has been trapped by an evil, ancient spirit bound to the heart of a tree. The only way Pinch can defeat this spirit is by embracing her Spark magic. The future of the magical world depends on it! 
    For fans of Abi Elphinstone (Ember Spark and the Unicorn's Secret), Alex T. Smith (Anyone For Strawberries?), Sharna Jackson (The Nine Night Mystery), and Harry Woodgate (Tales From Beyond the Rainbow).

    Bombo is the first in a series about two eighth graders who rescue dogs and sometimes their owners. Robin Kould and Mary Yen become two unlikely comrades as they navigate the turbulent waters of their middle school years. Sometimes insightful, sometimes humorous, but always earnest, these two bungle their way through to accomplish their good deeds.Robin Kould has spent the first thirteen years of his life moving from one derelict place to another with his alcoholic mother and whatever boyfriend she takes up with. He has survived by scrounging whatever food he can find, not being noticed so as to avoid the swinging fists of whomever his mom is living with, and, when all else fails, disappearing to a place inside himself. His mother has recently died, and he finds himself living with his bachelor uncle where, for the first time he can remember, he has plenty to eat, has a room of his own, and has gotten into trouble.
