Spotlight Please, It’s Stevie Louise
A sequel to Drum Roll Please, It’s Stevie Louise, Spotlight Please reintroduces Stevie and the Brooke Street crew and this time, they’re entering a local talent comp.
Stevie and the Brooke Street crew are hard-up for cash. Going viral doesn't last forever, you know, and killer costumes are expensive. To keep their show-biz dream alive, the kids are competing in a local talent quest. But the competition is stiff (I mean, have you ever heard four goats sing a capella?), and Alex has a unicorn horn glued to his forehead for at least the next three weeks.
Anyone who knows author Tanya Hennessy’s work as a comedian, radio announcer or TV presenter will know she is naturally warm and funny, and her personality shines through naturally in the Stevie books.

The Bad Guys, Episode One
Franc was lucky enough to fly to Sydney recently for the premier of The Bad Guys movie which was based of Aaron Blabey’s bestselling books by the same name.
Created as a series of graphic novels, the books themselves are super fun to read, action packed and a great choice for reluctant readers.
The first book in the series, Episode One, introduces the beloved characters of Mr Wolf, Mr Snake, Mr Shark, Mr Piranha and Ms Tarantula in an ultimate ‘bad guys turn good’ tale.
It can be bought alone or as part of a boxed set which makes a great gift idea.

Skandar and the Unicorn Thief
Unicorns don’t belong in fairy tales; they belong in nightmares…
And so begins the first book in this fantasy adventure series by new author A.F. Steadman.
Thirteen-year-old Skandar Smith has only ever wanted to be a unicorn rider, but when his dream proves far more dangerous than he could have ever imagined it makes him think; what if he was always destined to be the villain rather than the hero?
If you like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, give this one a try.
