The Peski Kids: Utterly hilarious! A great start to a new mystery series from the author of the Friday Barnes books. Three squabbling siblings. One all too perfect next-door neighbour.

... Hive: The first book in a new dystopian duology for young adults. Betts has created a fascinating world with an enclosed, self-sufficient community based on the structure of a beehive. A compelling story of a naive and inquisitive heroine whose curiosity leads her into trouble...
The Only Ones Left: A thought-provoking picture book about all the endangered native animals we share our home with, posing the question - what would it be like if we were the only ones left? The book includes a short glossary of a few endangered species and the types of threats they face.
Natural Born Loser: The story of school 'nobody' Raymond who is reluctantly thrust into the spotlight when the new principal makes him a prefect. A fun tale featuring some great messages about self-esteem, team work and defying people's expectations - even your own. Ages 8+
