Sinopse

Don’t Look Too Tasty is a middle-grade adventure novel with science-fiction elements. It is told through the eyes of Martha Gibbons, an overweight ten-year-old girl whose family has moved to a country town after her father suffered a breakdown. She makes friends easily, but they’re not the popular kids; they seem more like left-overs. Who can she trust when her mother hates her, her friend is stuck in the future and an alien keeps trying to eat her? Martha and her friends encounter teachers who are not human, and one who manipulates time. She finally realises that her mother doesn’t hate her, as she takes the first step towards a healthier lifestyle. 
‘A smartly plotted fantasy adventure for 9- to 12-year-olds packed full of twists, turns – and suspense!’ (The Wishing Shelf Book Awards, June 2024)

    With help from his grandma, Josh finds a way to quieten his overactive ‘Brian’ in this gently humorous and empathetic tale about family and mental health by bestseller Helen Rutter. 
    Josh has always called his brain Brian, and Brian can sometimes be his best friend, helping Josh with tests and giving him brilliant moneymaking ideas. But he can also be Josh’s worst enemy, keeping him awake at night worrying, and telling him that his family’s problems are all Josh’s fault. 
    When the arguments at home get really bad, Josh is sent to live with his grandma, who lives in a weird shack in the middle of nowhere. At first Brian’s voice gets louder and louder, and Josh feels out of control. But as he helps his grandma in the garden, growing their own food, and with all the jobs that need to be done around the shack, Josh starts to realise that she understands him and Brian better than anyone. 
    In this multigenerational tale, Josh's reluctant journey from a troubled teen to a young adult is beautifully captured. His daily struggles with mental health, emotions, and social themes are humorously portrayed, making it a compelling read for kids and teenage readers alike. 
    For fans of Marcus Emerson (Kid Youtuber 9), Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), T.Z. Layton (The Academy), Lisa Yee (DC Super Hero Girls), and Allan Woodrow (The Battle of the Werepenguins).

    The human psyche is one of the most complex, unpredictable, enigmatic, and therefore riveting phenomena in existence, one that psychologists have been working on deciphering since the dawn of modern science. To better understand the multifaceted intricacies of human behavior, and to unlock the secrets of the conscious mind and the subconscious, ambitious professionals in the field have conducted numerous groundbreaking – and at times, problematic – psychological experiments. The practice originated with German philosopher Wilhelm Wundt, one of the fathers of modern psychology and the creator of the world's first experimental psychology laboratory at the University of Leipzig. He sought to measure the average speed of thought processes by assigning a range of reaction time tasks to his subjects.  
    	As the nascent, yet fast-developing scientific discipline took hold around the globe, psychological experiments simultaneously diversified. As revolutionary and eye-opening as many of these experiments were, they often danced on the fine line between ethical and unethical. There was, for instance, the now-infamous Little Albert Experiment, conducted at Johns Hopkins University in 1920, in which a nine-month-old infant was deliberately manipulated into developing an irrational fear for the purpose of studying classical conditioning, and the correlation between adult fears and childhood traumas. The Monster Study, carried out at the University of Iowa in 1939, attempted to convert orphans into stutterers, half of whom were subjected to positive reinforcements and the others to negative ones. Then, there was arguably the most notorious psychological experiment in history: the 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment, in which participants were randomly assigned the character of either prisoner or prison guard. That role-playing study quickly spiraled out of control.
