Deep in the woods, Andy and Mandy Bear live a life bursting with exploration and wonder. Unlike other bears, they find humans interesting rather than intimidating.

After several relentless attempts, he notices an open window and, with Mandy's assistance, manages to enter. They forge new friendships with Quickee Duck and Finny Fish.

This engrossing story recounts the courageous journey of twin sisters Tilly and Milly as they take on obstacles, magical beings, and the terrible Troll Queen.

With the simple quest to gather wood for their mother, twin sisters Tilly and Milly set out into the forest. But when they catch the naughty Troll Queen's eye, their innocent trip suddenly becomes dangerous. Seizing the perfect moment, the Troll Queen takes Tilly and Milly captive, whisking them away to her vast troll kingdom. After being taken hostage, Tilly and Milly are faced with a difficult task: deciphering the Troll Queen's riddle. The sisters go out on a mission to solve the mystery with bravery and wit, meeting unexpected allies and learning startling revelations along the way.

Celebrating perseverance, bravery and cultural discovery, while challenging expectations, Jan Constable introduces her moving memoir, "The Adventures of a Girl Wearing Pearls." This poignant account follows Jan's transformative adventure as she embarked on an unforeseen trip to Dubai, an expedition that pushed her beyond her wildest expectations.

Having recently tied the knot, 27-year-old English woman Jan was thrown into a world very different from her childhood home of lush greenery in May 1970. Unexpectedly, her husband's work had sent them to Dubai, a desert kingdom that few people knew about at the time. Leaving behind the familiar setting of England, she nervously faced this upheaval, not knowing if she was ready for such a significant shift. Jan Constable's journey is an inspiration of bravery and flexibility, from overcoming the intense heat of the desert to acclimating to new traditions and customs. As she reflects on her ordeal in "The Adventures of a Girl Wearing Pearls,” readers are treated to moments of humor, resilience, and fundamental personal growth.

Embarking on a heartwarming adventure of unity and camaraderie in the face of trials, writer Katie Moak and illustrator Stephen Adams team up to deliver their delightful children’s book, "Napoleon and the Hurricane." In this endearing tale, a group of animals, led by the counsel of an old Siamese cat, survive a cyclone together.

At the heart of this story is Napoleon the poodle, who becomes the host of a group of animals seeking shelter from an impending hurricane. While Napoleon's owner attends to the human guests, the clever poodle assumes the role of organizing his animal companions. Through the guidance of "The Old One," the creatures discover the importance of sticking together and providing mutual support during the turbulent night. Together, they learn the value of friendship and their capacity to come together in the face of difficulty. Katie Moak's prowess for crafting lovable characters and touching stories that genuinely connect with young readers is evident in "Napoleon and the Hurricane." Stephen Adams' illustrations breathe life into Katie's tales, exuding a delightful appeal and capturing the essence of adventure and friendship.

Diving into a realm of enchantment, enigma, and unanticipated surprises Karla Hough releases her exciting new book, "The Witch Isn’t Called Wicked for Nothing."

The narrative revolves around a formidable and enigmatic witch. Known for her grave methods, the witch hits fear into the hearts of those who dare wander into her path.
