  ‘Readers will be laughing and crying all at once. This book is an astonishing, unique feat of the imagination’ 
  i News 
  From critically acclaimed author Nicola Skinner, her most brilliant book yet – a darkly comic story about staying true to yourself and the people you love, even if it means tearing everything down . . . 
  There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Minnie’s island. Nothing, that is, apart from the earthquakes, which pull buildings and schools and houses down on a regular basis. 
  Luckily, the island’s inhabitants have found a way to fix their crumbling walls: giants. Giants look after human children, like eleven-year-old Minnie. When Minnie turns twelve, she’ll kiss her giant, turning her into a stone statue forever. The stone will be used to repair buildings. And there’s nothing wrong with that either . . . or so Minnie thinks. 
  But when a dreadful earthquake strikes, Minnie realises she’s not quite ready to say goodbye to her giant – not forever – not yet. So Minnie goes on the run, betraying her parents and everyone she knows. The secrets she uncovers on her journey threaten to pull everything down: and so begins a desperate race against time in which she will confront the truth about her island, her giant . . . and ultimately herself. 
  In GIANT, Skinner presents a magical adventure filled with action and folklore. This top children's fantasy fiction explores themes of self-reliance, self-esteem, and friendship, making it a best pick in juvenile literature. 
  For fans of James Ponti (City of the Dead), Kayla Miller (Besties), Katie Kirby (The Mega-Complicated Crushes of Lottie Brooks), Tui T. Sutherland (The Lost Continent), and Robin Stevens (Death Sets Sail).

  Clara's last year at school is looking pretty uneventful, apart from the stress of uni applications. Until one day, classmate Ty (on whom she happens to have a pretty big crush) asks for her help. His computer genius brother has just disappeared, leaving behind a laptop to which access is granted only when you answer a maths question - and maths isn't exactly Ty's strong suit. 
  One question turns into many when Clara and Ty follow his brother's trail and start spending a whole lot of time together. As she works on maths problems more exciting that anything she's ever done in class, Clara also has to deal with everyone in her life suddenly acting strange all at the same time: best friend M's gone silent on her, little sister Emma has become a devil child, and even her parents are up to something... 
  Praise for The Irrational Diary of Clara Valentine: 
  "I had no idea you were this funny!" Coralie's mother, a mathematician 
  "Coralie's voice is so effervescent, so authentic, so engaging [...] I think she's a star in the making" A publisher who didn't publish the book 
  "Super exciting and relatable" Coralie's sister, a real-life teenager

  Deep in the echo chamber of forgotten thoughts in Psycheveil, where psychologists veil insights in neural webs and memory thieves steal recollections from the mind's depths, psychologist Elara navigates a veiled labyrinth with thief Kai, whose stolen memories conceal a psyche fractured by unspoken trauma. Their shadow, veiled in neural vows and thought-kissed echoes, insights truth—or loses it in mazes of repressed illusions. As they probe through chamber-laced synapses and insight-bound voids, shadowed by mind wardens and memory rivals, Elara's psychological depth merges with Kai's thieving subtlety, revealing an echo legend of shadowed revelation. When a blocked synapse summons phantom recollections, they must veil the insight to unlock the mind. In the labyrinth of mind's shadows, where every whisper unravels a layer and every theft exposes the core, their hidden mystery becomes the key that frees the fractured soul.
