  If Roald Dahl had written A Monster Calls . . . A very special audiobook, performed by the author. Everyone is always shouting at Gus to stop leaning back in his chair - but does he care? No way! Then sure enough, the chair falls, he cracks his head and has to spend all summer in bed. Out of the crack escape his memories, dreams and imagination ... and a beautiful little butterfly guide. Gus must follow the butterfly to recapture all he's lost, including that locked box he doesn't seem to want to touch ...Together they remember fish fingers, snapping bubble wrap, cracked pink soap and the leaky tap; they go wild, stomping around in the joy of imagination and happy dreams - but they can't go any further if Gus won't gather all of his memories. His butterfly will die unless Gus is ready to hear about his mum ...  A delightful and moving exploration of grief and the joy that makes us human, from the effervescent voice of Laura Dockrill.

  The Tooth Fairy and the Crocodile King is a fairy tale told in simple rhyming couplets. It is the story of a sleepy child who is visited by the Tooth Fairy; they take a journey together to the North Pole to meet King Crocodile, an avid collector of little teeth:
  
  "King Crocodile's home is made of teeth,
  And shimmers quite beyond belief,
  But in his mouth there is not one;
  His gums are bare as a baby's bum.
  He eats jam, soup and ice cream too,
  With mashed up pea and dumpling stew."
  
  In return for her tooth the Crocodile King gives our heroine a gold coin which allows her to travel anywhere she wishes to go and so she visits the bottom of the sea:
  
  “She swims with whales and talks to seals, 
  And slithers with some slippery eels. 
  She makes a hat from seaweed strands,
  And comfy shoes from giant clams.”
  
  Next morning she wakes to find the gold coin beneath her pillow and on her cupboard shelf:
  
  “There sits a playful fairy there, 
  Who waves her wand about the air. 
  No-one can see her only you - 
  And me of course, that makes just two."

  A powerful novel by Carnegie Medal–winning author Beverley Naidoo that is in turns heart-wrenching, infuriating, and inspiring—and at its core, a call to readers to make a better world than they have found. 
  Adam and his sister, Leila, are Nons—second-class citizens, living under the Permitted ruling class. Though their life in the Stone City is filled with family, stories, and music, they must carefully follow the rules, have all paperwork on hand, and never, ever do anything to anger a Permitted. When their father unexpectedly dies, they are even restricted in how they are allowed to grieve.       
  Soon, Adam and Leila are back to school and practicing music again. But when Adam’s friend Zak plays a bold prank on a group of Permitted boys, and Adam is implicated in Zak’s “crime,” Adam knows their lives will never be the same again. 
  Not to be missed by any reader who was moved by Veera Hiranandani’s The Night Diary or Alan Gratz’s Refugee.
