On A Magical Do-Nothing Day

Beatrice Alemagna

Waterstones Says

An evocative tribute to the joys of exploring the natural world, On a Magical Do Nothing Day revels in the unexpected delights a computer game-obsessed girl discovers when she's forced to embrace the great outdoors.

All I want to do on a rainy day like today is play my game, but my mum says it's a waste of time.

The game drives my mum mad. She takes it away. I take it back. I wish Dad had come with us on this rainy, grey weekend.

Without my game, nothing is fun.

On the other hand, maybe I'm wrong about that.

 

Tall Story 

Candy Gourlay

Waterstones Says

Be careful what you wish for . . .
Andi is short. And she has lots of wishes. She wishes she could play on the school basketball team, she wishes for her own bedroom, but most of all she wishes that her long lost half brother, Bernardo, could come and live in London, where he belongs.


Then Andi's biggest wish comes true and she's minutes away from becoming someone's little sister. As she waits anxiously for Bernardo to arrive from the Philippines, she hopes he'll turn out to be tall and just as mad as she is about basketball. When he finally arrives, he's tall all right. But he's not just tall... he's a GIANT.


In a novel packed with humour and quirkiness, Gourlay explores a touching sibling relationship and the clash of two very different cultures.
