BIGFOOT, TOBIN & ME by MELISSA SAVAGE
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Despite being named after her mum’s favourite saying, there isn’t much for Lemonade Witt to look forward to since her mother died – especially now she has moved to the wilds of Willow Creek.
Here, she meets an annoying boy called Tobin who, as head of Bigfoot Detectives Inc., is obsessed with finding the legendary beast. Reluctantly, she joins him in search of the elusive creature – but what they find instead is even better . . .

THE APPRENTICE WITCH by JAMES NICOL
Arianwyn fails her witch’s assessment – instead of qualifying, she’s declared an apprentice and sent to remote Lull in disgrace. Then her arch-enemy, mean girl Gimma, arrives on holiday determined to make her life a misery. But as a mysterious darkness begins to haunt her spells, Arianwyn realizes there’s much more than her pride at stake . . .
‘A charming tale of magic, bravery and friendship, reminiscent of Diana Wynne Jones.’
THE GUARDIAN
‘The Apprentice Witch is entirely more charming, adventurous, and full of heart than a book has any right to be. Make no mistake: there’s magic afoot.’

Orphan Magpie can’t believe her eyes when she sees a boy swept off his feet by a kite . . . or something that twists and dances in the wind. She goes to his rescue only to find herself dangling in the sky. The world looks so different from on high and suddenly Magpie knows what she wants – to be the first to fly in a balloon above the King and Queen of France.
