What Do You Want To Be, Brian?

Everyone in Brian's family has their own ideas about what Brian should be. His mother wants him to be a famous violinist and makes him practice for hours. His father wants him to be a computer wizard, his older sister forces him into ballet tights and his uncle sees him as a jockey. His family keep on nagging him until he finally announces what HE wants to be. A poignant but funny tale about adults letting children just be children. 'Mary Rees's illustrations, very much in the tradition of Quentin Blake, are entertaining. . . a sophisticated product' - Times Educational Supplement

Out of Shadows

by Jason Wallace

'Excellent. [Out of Shadows is] the
latest lacerating addition to the
boarding-school-as-living-hell genre
... read on if you have the courage.
The author attended a similar
establishment at the age of 12,
and gives every indication of knowing
exactly what he is writing about.'

Elmer's Special Day

by David McKee



'The first Elmer book seemed like a great and original one-off, McKee's extraordinary imagination and colourful art have between them maintained originality and delight over all these years: amazing.' Chris Brown, School Librarian
