Today I’m excited to show you some new books that I’ve received from Barrington Stoke, the children’s book publisher that specialises in dyslexia-friendly books! 🙂 I’ve got a lot of reviews coming up of books for Barrington Stoke books which I’ve gotten over the last few weeks, so please look out of those 😀 , but in the meantime let’s take a look at the new books from this brilliant publisher (and a big thank you to Kirstin Lamb for these, especially as I was very late in requesting them and she was so prompt in sending them over – you’re the best<3 !)! Descriptions of these aren’t confirmed blurbs but rather from the email I got, anyway let’s take a look 😀 …
Tea Party Parade by Nick Sharratt – Illustration superstar Nick Sharratt showcases another bright and bold early reader, bursting with lots of rhyme, rhythm and energy for little ones to enjoy – the perfect book for a young reader’s first steps on the path to reading independence.
Today’s the day – it’s the tea party parade! The kids are in their costumes and the teachers are marching too. Teacups are twirling, cake slices are spinning, and the big finale is going to be the best show of all! Join in with all the fun of the parade in Nick Sharratt’s beautiful new Little Gem.
The Great Food Bank Heist by Onjali Q. Raúf & Elisa Paganelli– On Thursdays, Nelson, Ashley and Mum head out to the Bank. But not just any old bank – the food bank. With its shining tins and packets of food stacked from floor to ceiling, Nelson thinks it’s the best kind of bank there is. But there’s a thief in town, and the shelves of the food bank are getting emptier. For the sake of his family and everyone else’s, Nelson needs to make them stop. But can he and his friends really be the ones to catch the bank robber?
Know My Place by Eva Ainsworth – A teenager’s longing for family and a place to call home is poignantly portrayed in this heartfelt and ultimately uplifting story of life in the foster-care system.
Feeling betrayed when her long-term foster placement breaks down, Amy is sent to live with a new family, the Dawsons. Although initially reluctant to trust them, she eventually starts to let down her guard. But just when it seems like she’s found her forever family, she hears a telephone call that suggests things aren’t going to work out. Will Amy be abandoned again – or does she dare hope that she might finally have found home?
Welcome to Trash Land by Steve Cole & Oriol Vidal – A search for treasure reveals the toxic consequences of modern life in this adventure set against the backdrop of the world’s largest e-waste dump.
Theo lives and works in Agbogbloshie in Ghana, a vast dumping ground for the world’s broken electronics. He spends his days scouring the trash for scraps of metal to sell for cash, while dreaming of going to school and escaping this harsh life. The money Theo makes is barely enough to pay for lessons, so when when Emmanuel turns up with talk of buried treasure, Theo sees a chance to get out of Trashland. But Emmanuel’s presence draws the attention of a local gang, and Theo starts to wonder if his new friend is keeping dangerous secrets …
I can’t wait to start reading these. They all sound amazing but I’m especially excited about welcome to Trash Land as I’ve already read a previous title (World Burn Down) by the author and illustrator combo and it was really good so I can’t wait to see what happens in that one, although of course I’m excited to read all of them 😀 Reviews will appear as soon as I’m able to get them out, but be prepared for a bit of an influx of children’s book reviews starting later this week, I’m getting back into the swing of reviewing…and LOVING it! 🙂
