COVER REVEAL ALERT 🚨🚨

We're delighted to show off the cover for the new book from @beashelwrites - We Are All Constellations ✨✨

Seventeen-year-old Iris is happy. She's fearless, she's strong. She is everything but a girl who lost her mum.

But Iris's dad and step-mum have been keeping a secret. One big enough to unravel her. Only the magnetic Órla can provide an escape, until things get...complicated. As Iris questions who she is, it becomes clear she can't run away from grief.

What happens when someone who has never faced up to the darkness lets it in?

We Are All Constellations is coming this October!

Chernobyl 1986. Those left behind must fight to survive.

Dogs of the Deadlands is a devastating tale of courage, companionship and hope from the Carnegie award-winning author of Lark.

The world is coming to an end. Dragged from her bed in the middle of the night and forced to leave her beloved puppy behind, Natasha has no idea if she’ll ever return home.

Growing up in the shadow of the ruined nuclear power plant, pups Misha and Bratan need to learn how to live wild - and fast. Creatures with sharp teeth, scythe-like claws and yellow eyes lurk in the overgrown woods. And they’re watching the brothers…

But will the dogs survive without humans? And can humans live without them?

Proofs are available now - published in hardback this September.

“It’s not your chips I’m after, Alice Tonks,” the seagull said sternly. “We’ve got a job for you.” 🦊

After a rather strange encounter with a seagull on her first day of boarding school, Alice Tonks is left with a lot of questions. 🐭
Why does the bird need her help? And WHY can she talk to seagulls?
Alice is used to being by herself but she can’t solve the mystery alone. With new friends behind her, can Alice harness her magic powers and become the hero she never imagined? 🐰

The Extraordinary Adventures of Alice Tonks by Emily Kenny is perfect for fans of A Kind of Spark and How to Be Brave - out later this month!
