Summary

We Are A Circus is the charming, autobiographical 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.
**Longlisted for the 2024 Klaus Flugge Illustration Award **
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.

    Everest by Isaac Asimov - Perhaps you’ve read how Everest has now been climbed? But have you heard of Planetary Survey? Here’s the real truth about it. (Everest has been climbed twice) 
In 1952 they were about ready to give up trying to climb Mt. Everest. It was the photographs that kept them going. 
As photographs go, they weren’t much; fuzzy, streaked and with just dark blobs against the white to be interested in. But those dark blobs were living creatures. The men swore to it. 
I said, “What the hell, they’ve been talking about creatures skidding along the Everest glaciers for forty years. It’s about time we did something about it.” 
Jimmy Robbons (pardon me, James Abram Robbons) was the one who pushed me into that position. He was always nuts on mountain climbing, you see. He was the one who knew all about how the Tibetans wouldn’t go near Everest because it was the mountain of the gods, he could quote me every mysterious manlike footprint ever reported in the ice 25,000 feet up, he knew by heart every tall story about the spindly white creatures, speeding along the crags just over the last heart-breaking camp which the climbers had managed to establish. 
It’s good to have one enthusiastic creature of the sort at Planetary Survey headquarters.

    Mr Stink, from Children's author David Walliams. 
Read by David Walliams, Matt Lucas and Nitin Ganatra. 
"Mr Stink stank. He also stunk. And if it was correct English to say he stinked, then he stinked as well…” 
Chloe sees Mr Stink every day, but she’s never spoken to him. Which isn’t surprising, because he’s a tramp, and he stinks. 
But there’s more to Mr Stink than meets the eye (or nose) and before she knows it, Chloe has an unusual new friend hiding in her garden shed. 
As Chloe struggles to keep Mr Stink a secret, and her dad tries to hide a secret of his own, the stage is set for an epic family confrontation. But there's one other person with an extraordinary secret – Mr Stink himself… 
This Sunday Times bestselling book, MR STINK by David Walliams, is a humorous adventure that explores themes of friendship and homelessness. Walliams delves into social issues with a light-hearted tone, making it a top pick for juvenile readers. 
For fans of Shane Devries (The Creakers), Jeff Kinney (The Deep End), Peter Brown (The Wild Robot), Liz Pichon (Top of the Class), and Larry Hayes (How to be a Kid Boss).
