Things to look out for

Here are some of the books which have caught our attention and will be published soon (or sometime this year!).


Jeremy Strong has The Ghost in the Bath in June, and the third Cartoon Kid book Emergency! in July.   There are lots of people in Primary 3 who will be interested in these stories.

Horrid Henry is back again in Horrid Henry's Monster Movie by Francesca Simon which is published at the end of May. Henry continues to torment his long suffering parents and friends in this one.

Vivian French has the fifth book in the Five Kingdoms series coming out in August.  It is called The Music of the Zombies, and has the usual brilliant cover by Ross Collins.

Artemis Fowl and the Last Guardian by Eoin Colfer arrives in July, for all those who have been following the saga of Artemis Fowl, teenage criminal mastermind, his bodyguard Butler, and Holly Short, late of the LepRecon unit.

Another hotly anticipated title is Kingdom of the Wicked (Skulduggery Pleasant 7) by Derek Landy, due out at the end of August.

Lots of people are waiting impatiently for Love is in the Air by Jeff Kinney, due to be published in November.  Yes, this is the 7th instalment of the diary of Greg Heffley, everyone's favourite Wimpy Kid.


Time to start saving up the pocket money!
