  Pinch’s magic has arrived … and it’s causing a whole load of trouble!  
  Pinch Perkins is very excited that her Spark magic is finally here – she has been having so much fun bringing things to life (although Sir Furalot, her beloved teddy bear, is not happy about it!). But with magic comes responsibility – and when Pinch is told off one too many times by her mum and dad for causing chaos, she starts to wonder if being magical is all it’s cracked up to be. 
  Then Pinch starts to have strange dreams, feeling like someone – something – is watching her. Surely it can’t be the strange tree, the one with bewitching red leaves, that has appeared on Tricky Dragon Lane? 
  When Pinch awakens one night deep in the forest – an enchanted place full of dangerous and mysterious creatures – unicorns, highway men, ghosts! – she realises that she has been trapped by an evil, ancient spirit bound to the heart of a tree. The only way Pinch can defeat this spirit is by embracing her Spark magic. The future of the magical world depends on it! 
  For fans of Abi Elphinstone (Ember Spark and the Unicorn's Secret), Alex T. Smith (Anyone For Strawberries?), Sharna Jackson (The Nine Night Mystery), and Harry Woodgate (Tales From Beyond the Rainbow).

  The Deadly Dust - Dust in the...

  Something is wrong with the world, and the evidence is impossible to ignore. Radiation levels are climbing across the United States, fish are dying in vast numbers, and no natural cause fits the facts. In The Deadly Dust, Murray Leinster builds a quiet, relentless mystery where the danger arrives not with explosions, but with numbers on a Geiger counter. 
  As scientists struggle to understand the threat, one unlikely figure emerges as the key to survival. Bud Gregory is a man who wants nothing more than to be left alone, yet his intuitive grasp of physics surpasses anyone alive. While invisible poison drifts on the wind, a race begins to stop a catastrophe no one else even knows is happening. 
  Murray Leinster was one of the most influential writers in science fiction history, shaping the genre long before it had a name. Writing with clarity and authority, he specialized in stories where science creates consequences that feel disturbingly real. 
  Across a career spanning five decades, Leinster explored nuclear anxiety, technological ethics, and global risk with unmatched foresight. The Deadly Dust stands as one of his most unsettling warnings about how quietly civilization can be pushed to the brink.

  Jake's family ties have turned to cuffs. 
  Born with the ability to fragment his body at a molecular level, Jake Lucas has devoted his life to his uncle's supervillain gang. When he's captured by superheroes, he's certain his life is over at only sixteen. 
  To Jake's surprise, he doesn't end up in prison but at Camp Sable: an intervention project for at-risk super powered teens. Jake's not interested in rehabilitation. As far as he's concerned, the camp mentors are just a barrier between him and his true family, the Sand Fox gang. 
  Forced to work alongside the likewise screwed up duo of fire-powered Marco and electricity manipulator Laleh, Jake waits for the perfect escape opportunity. Having friends and the chance at a real family is more appealing than Jake originally thought, but going soft can cost a supervillain his life. Jake soon finds the forces fighting to control his life threatening to tear him apart. 
  Will Jake choose to remain the villain his uncle made him, or become the hero his new friends think he can be? 
  A Young Adult Superhero series featuring found family, friendship, and one superpowered ferret.

  In the spring of 1904, the parents of twelve-year-old Jonathan Schwartz send him alone by train, from Streeter, North Dakota, to Ruff, Washington. There he is to stay with a distant cousin he's never met while searching for suitable farmland offered by the U.S. government at $1.25 an acre. Jonathan's parents would follow as soon as they had sold their own farm in Streeter, which had been devastated by storms. 
  What happens in the months after Jonathan reaches his destination could never have been anticipated. While the trip begins with the thrill of adventure, it soon turns into a fight for survival.

  In the midst of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Archibald Shrew and Garbage Island’s mouse mayor, Mr. Popli, constantly clash over Archibald’s bungled inventions. 
   
  In fact, Archie and Mayor Popli are so busy arguing that they don’t realize their island is falling apart until it’s too late. 
   
  Caught in a current, these unlikely companions are swept far from home on a rip-roaring adventure neither could have imagined. 
   
  As they try to find their way back, they’ll face many perils—a massive storm, deadly predators, a formidable enemy army—and discover new strengths in themselves and in each other. But they’ll need every ounce of bravery, creativity, and cooperation they can muster—if they’re going to survive. 
   
  “Pint-sized characters face outsized challenges with heart and wit in this heroic adventure. The winner: readers!”—Sara Pennypacker, New York Times best-selling author of the Clementine series
