OKSA POLLOCK: THE LAST HOPE ANNE PLICHOTA & CENDRINE WOLF A new heroine, an old evil, an unforgettable adventure Just as we all are, children are fascinated by stories. From the earliest age, we love to hear about monsters and heroes, romance and death, disaster and rescue, from every place and time. We created Pushkin Children’s Books to share these tales from different languages and cultures with younger readers, and to open the door to the wide, colourful worlds these stories offer. The books in 2015 come from all corners of the world: from the Netherlands and Japan to Brazil and Russia, they have thrilled and delighted millions of children (and their parents) across four continents and more than seven decades. We’re particularly excited to be publishing The Secrets of the Wild Wood, the long-awaited sequel to the bestselling The Letter for the King, as well as From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, an American classic back at last in the UK. Along with Dot and Anton, another book by the formidable Erich Kästner, and stories about penguins, cats, rabbits and whales, this list reflects the very best stories from around the world, for our most discerning readers of all: children. THE SECRETS OF THE WILD WOOD TONKE DRAGT, ILLUSTRATED BY THE AUTHOR The thrilling and long-awaited sequel to The Letter for the King! “Now that I have discovered those secrets, will I ever get out of here alive so that I may tell others what I know?” thought Ristridin. tonke dragt was born in 1930 in Indonesia. When she was twelve, she was imprisoned in a Japanese camp during the war, where she wrote her first book using begged and borrowed paper. After the war, she and her family moved to the Nether lands, where she became an art teacher. In 1962 she published her most famous story, The Letter for the King, which won the Children’s Book of the Year Award and has been translated into sixteen languages. Dragt was awarded the State Prize for Youth Literature in 1976 and was knighted in 2001. Strange rumours circulate about the Wild Wood: tales of robbers and lost cities, of dangerous knights and mysterious Men in Green ... and now Sir Ristridin, last seen in that impenetrable forest, has disappeared. Tiuri, now a young Knight with a White Shield, sets out with Piak and Marius to uncover the Wild Wood’s secrets, only to find himself caught up in a terrible plan to seize King Unauwen’s throne – a plan destined to end in a fierce battle between Good and Evil, in which no-one can remain impartial. Ever willing to risk all perils to fight for what is right and true, Tiuri gathers his old friends and sets off to warn King Unauwen – before it is too late. 4 Translated by: Laura Watkinson format: Hardback price: £16.99 isbn: 9781782690610 publication: September 2015 dimensions: 200 x 148mm extent: 460pp territory: UK & Commonwealth reading age: 9+ years pushkin children’s 2015 Praise for The Letter for the King ‘A passionate struggle to find justice, truth and chivalry in a world permeated by evil ... captivating’ The Times ‘A pulse-pounding epic ... will keep all high-fantasy addicts riveted from the first page’ Metro ‘A Dutch cracker ...

Her best friend is Anton, who lives in a little apartment and looks after his mother. They share a secret – every night, when their parents think they are asleep, they sell matches and shoelaces on the streets of Berlin with Dot’s grumpy governess. But why? The answers involve a villain called ‘Robert the Devil’, a club-wielding maid, a wobbly tooth, a pair of silver shoes and a policeman dancing the tango, as Dot and Anton get into all sorts of scrapes and even solve a crime in this delightful, touching and hilarious adventure story. 6 Also published by Pushkin Children’s: The Parent Trap The Flying Classroom Translated by: Anthea Bell format: Flapped Paperback price: £7.99 isbn: 9781782690573 publication: April 2015 dimensions: 200 x 148mm extent: 144pp territory: World English reading age: 9+ years pushkin children’s 2015 erich kästner began his career as a journalist and, later, a freelance theatre critic.

After the Nazis took power in Germany, Kästner’s books – thinly veiled critiques of society’s fall to fascism – were denounced and burnt. He faced repeated arrest and interrogation by the Gestapo, resulting in his blacklisting and exclusion from the writers’ guild.

In 1936 he was forced to flee to London, where he produced anti-Nazi leaflets and political propaganda drawings. He died in 1951 in Ontario, Canada. 7 FUZZ MCFLOPS EVA FURNARI, ILLUSTRATED BY THE AUTHOR A brilliant bunny author finds a cure for the blues Fuzz McFlops is one of the most famous rabbit-writers in the land, but ever since his classmates teased him about his lopsided ears at school he’s led a lonely life, writing sad stories such as The Withered Carrot.

KONIGSBURG, ILLUSTRATED BY THE AUTHOR The million-selling classic novel—finally available again in the UK! New York City girl Claudia, a mere month shy of being a twelve-year-old, has resolved to run away from home with her younger brother, Jamie. She knows that she could never pull off the classic spurof-the-moment departure without a destination (inevitably involving having to eat outside with the insects, and cupcakes melting in the sun); so she plans everything to perfection, including their destination: the grand, elegant, beautiful, all-encompassing Metropolitan Museum of Art. However, no sooner have Claudia and Jamie settled into their new home, than they are caught up in the mystery of an angel statue bought by the museum for the bargain price of $225. Is it in fact an as yet undiscovered work by Michelangelo, worth millions? Claudia is determined to find out, and her quest leads her to the 12 remarkable, secretive Mrs. Frankweiler, who sold the statue to the museum – and to some equally remarkable discoveries about herself. e. l. konigsburg (1930–2013) is one of the most celebrated writers of books for children and young adults.

Even if the ship was smaller than him, aboard there was an extremely cruel type of animal called a human.’ A lonely whale searching the oceans for a mate sacrifices himself for love; a mother desperately tries to save her son with her tears; an old she-wolf rescues a little girl abandoned in the grass; a huge, magnificent tree grows amid the ruins of a burnt-out town, its branches made from the sweetest cake imaginable. These moving, unforgettable stories of unlikely friendships, secret hiding places, extraordinary bravery and miraculous transformations show war through the eyes of a child. Profound, heartbreaking and aglow with a piercing beauty, they express the chaos and terror of conflict, yet also how love can illuminate even the darkest moment. akiyuki nosaka lost his mother at birth and was put into care by his father. His adoptive parents died in the American bombing of Kobe. Aged only fourteen, Nosaka was left orphaned and alone in war-ravaged Japan. Nosaka has written nearly 100 books.

Nosaka is a celebrity in Japan today, as a writer, a TV personality, a comedian, a singer and even a politician.
