Summary

From award-winning author Polly Ho-Yen, comes a beautifully illustrated story for readers aged 7+. Yara has only glimpsed the last dragon on Earth twice. She's got other things to worry about: her sister is in hospital, her parents are panicking, and her new teacher has labelled her a troublemaker and wants her out. But one evening, in the glow of the lights of the shopping centre in Milton Keynes, Yara finds herself being watched by the last dragon and, before it departs, it leaves her a gift: its only egg. Entrusted with the care of the last dragon egg, Yara discovers it is more powerful than she could ever have imagined. But there are others who want it and they'll stop at nothing to steal it for themselves... A moving story about bravery, self-belief and our responsibility to protect the natural world.

MEET ALFIE… THE BOY WHO COULD DO WHAT HE LIKED! 
Previously published for World Book Day 2016 
Alfie has a routine. To be honest he has a lot of routines. 
But then one day Alfie’s babysitter is unavailable, and Alfie’s parents get Mrs Stokes instead. Mrs Stokes doesn’t do routines. Instead, she just tells Alfie to do what he likes. And that’s when things start to go weird. 
Does everything get hilariously out of control? Yes. 
Does Alfie learn a valuable lesson? Nah. This isn’t that kind of story… 
DISCOVER CHRISSIE… THE GIRL WHO HAD NEVER BEEN ON A TRAIN! 
Chrissie loves trains. She has train books, train pictures – and, of course, model trains. But Chrissie has never been on an actual train. In part, because Chrissie doesn't find getting around as easy as other people. Then, Chrissie finally gets on a train, with her Grandpa Henry, to go down to London for an important operation. Her parents and Henry hope the journey will take Chrissie's mind off things. 
And they're right: but in a way they couldn't possibly imagine. Because Chrissie's trip from Scotland to London turns out to be quite literally magical – and changes her life forever. 
MARVEL AT ARIEL… THE CHILD WHO HAD NEVER BEEN ON HOLIDAY! 
Every year, Max, Lily and Jack are taken to Snoring-On-Sea for their holiday – quite possibly the most boring town in the world. There’s nothing to do and nothing to see – even the beach at Snoring-on-Sea is dull and grey. 
But this year, something DOES happen. The children meet someone on a tiny island out at sea – a mysterious child called Ariel. Ariel claims to have never left their tiny island, and to Ariel, everything about Max, Lily and Jack’s lives is amazing – fish and chips, fizzy drinks… even the view of the brick wall out of their bedroom window. 
And their new friend forces Max, Lily and Jack to see Snoring-On-Sea in a whole new light… 
Three hilarious, heart-warming and adventure-filled stories that will have you laughing out loud! 
David Baddiel, the Sunday Times bestselling author, brings us Only Children, a top juvenile fiction that is as humorous as it is fantastical. The family's journey, filled with travel and transportation, is a testament to his ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. 
For fans of Larry Hayes (How to be a Kid Boss), Ben Miller (Diary of a Big Bad Wolf), Jeff Kinney (No Brainer), Danny Wallace (The Day the Screens Went Blank), and Marta Kissi (Mummy Fairy and Me).

While in Mexico, Paloma meets Lizzie and Gael, who present her with an irresistible challenge: The siblings want her to help them find a valuable ring that once belonged to beloved Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Finding the ring means a big reward—and the thanks of all Mexico. What better way to honor her father than returning a priceless piece of jewelry that once belonged to his favorite artist! But the brother and sister have a secret. Do they really want to return the ring, or are they after something else entirely?
