The Christmas Carrolls by Mel Taylor-Bessent
Wish it could be Christmas every day? Well, for nine-year-old Holly Carroll and her family, it is! Living her merriest life in a house with year-round fairy lights and Christmas trees, a carol-singing toilet and a diva donkey who thinks he’s a reindeer, home-schooled Holly tries to spread cheer wherever she goes.
But when she goes to a new school with a singing Santa backpack and first day Christmas cards (during a heatwave in September!), she realises not everyone shares her enthusiasm for spreading cheer. In fact, when the neighbours try to remove the Carrolls from the street and Holly discovers a group of children that may not get a Christmas at all, her snowglobe world begins to crack. Is the world’s most Christmassy girl about to lose her Christmas spirit?
Monster Hunting For Beginners by Ian Mark
In the blink of an eye all the adults disappear in a small town in southern California and no one knows why.
Cut off from the outside world, those that are left are trapped, and there’s no help on the way. Chaos rules the streets. Gangs begin to form. Sides are chosen – strong or weak. Cruel or humane.
And then there are those who begin to develop powers.
Dystopian fiction at its best, the GONE series is a cult classic. Breathtaking, harrowing, and utterly terrifying with a cast of complex characters and moral dilemmas that will delight fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Maze Runner.
