From the tiniest insects to talking houses, from trips of imagination that can have happy or not-so-happy endings, and making new friends or special memories with loved ones, this year’s writers have created fun adventures for kids that they’ll want to read again and again.

Check out some familiar favourites, and a couple of new authors that might just become favourites too!

With stories from: Diane Finlay, Kristoff Verdun, Sam Blake, Jo Williams, Elizabeth Klein, Jill Barlow, Lucy Marbelone, Pete Galea and Kane Johnson.
