Moz and Vivian find a strange machine that makes any thing BETTER. Their old bikes emerge transformed with streamers and a shiny horn! What happens when the whole town discovers this mysterious marvel? A timely and thought-provoking tale about the perilous pursuit of ‘better’… and the beauty of enough.
Age 3+
Pongo and Stink are fed up with living in a pigsty. They want to live a life of luxury, all cosy in the farmhouse, getting loving pats from Farmer Nic while eating scones and jam on toast – just like their tormentor, Rollo the dog.
When Pongo has the daring idea of dressing up as pups, the two piggies set out to chase their dreams. But what’s the shifty Shih tzu up to? And will the wily fox scupper their plans? Or will Pongo and Stink discover that to be yourself is the greatest, mud-splattered luxury of all?
An uproariously funny tale about the difficulties of trying to be something you’re not, the power of true friendship and the perils of eating far too much cheese.
Age 6+
One elephant, one kakapo, one unlicensed teenage driver, one boy waiting for the world to end and a twelve-year-old girl with a very special gift.
Sal has always had an affinity with animals – especially the lost kind. But when two rare and endangered creatures appear out of nowhere, life takes a detour into strange and uncharted territory…
A mind-boggling expedition into the secrets of the Animal Kingdom with only an invisible map of the human heart as a guide. (Unless, of course, you count the talking parrot.) What on Earth could possibly go wrong…?
Age 9 – 12
Shortlisted Book, Book of the Year Awards 2022 Speech Pathology Australia
Perched high on the snowy slopes of the Mabombo Ranges lies The Grandest Hotel on Earth. It’s wilder than the African savanna, more fantastical than Disneyland and more magical than Shangri-la.
So when ordinary eleven-year-old Vincent scores a job shining shoes there for the summer, he sets off on a path leading into his most wondrous dreams.
But dreams, of course, have a funny way of taking strange and surprising turns and, before long, Vincent is torn between right and wrong, friendship and family and the most enticing of desires – to see into the future..
WARNING: this book includes insanely cute pocket dogs, Velcro Rooms where you can walk up the walls and across the ceiling, chocolate fountains and shoes that play Bach.

Enchanting, timeless and surprising – this extraordinary novel will touch the hearts (and ears) of children and adults alike.
Dr Boogaloo was no ordinary doctor. Not at all like the one you might visit if you had a sore tummy. No, Dr Boogaloo was a very different type of doctor. He treated folks who suffered from rather unusual complaints. And how did he treat them? Why, with the most powerful medicine known to mankind . . . Music!
Blue was no ordinary girl. For starters, her name was Blue. But what was truly extraordinary about Blue was the fact that she hadn’t laughed for 712 days. Not a hee hee, a ho ho or even a tiny tee hee.
According to Dr Boogaloo, music can cure anything. (Of course, you need the right dose of the right music. No point listening to a jive if you’re in need of some boogie-woogie, and you can’t just substitute a toot for a blow!) But no laughter was definitely a case for alarm.
Can Dr Boogaloo compose a cure before Blue loses her laughter forever?
