Guy Bass Illustrated by Pete Williamson
www.stripespublishing.co.uk An imprint of Little Tiger Press Welcome to our 2012 catalogue! We have a host of fantastic new titles to share with you. This year sees us take our first steps into teen fiction with Andy Robb’s brilliant debut novel, Geekhood. Follow the trials and tribulations of fourteen-year-old Archie, self-confessed Geek and role-playing game addict, as he struggles to shake off the shackles of his geeky past in an attempt to impress a Beautiful Girl. As the snow begins to fall just days before Christmas, Grandad helps Sara build an igloo in the garden, and Sara sculpts a small polar bear to watch over it. And what could be more exciting than sleeping outside under the stars? We’re also delighted to welcome Adam Perrott to the list. His family of Professional Pranksters, The Odds, like nothing better than making mischief, but they meet their match in the utterly unprankable Plopwells… But when Sara awakes in the middle of the night, she finds the igloo is no longer in the garden but lost in a world of ice … and her snow bear has transformed into a real live polar bear cub. Sara and the cub set out on an enchanted journey through the wilderness – will they ever find their way home? Fans of Holly Webb will love her beautifully illustrated new story, The Snow Bear. Published in a sumptuous hardback edition, another first for Stripes, this is an enchanting tale that children will want to return to again and again. We’re thrilled to welcome the return of Guy Bass’s unsung hero, Stitch Head, in two freakishly funny new adventures. And Harriet Goodwin brings a darker element to the list in The Hex Factor, a spellbinding tale in which a girl’s secret heritage is revealed on her thirteenth birthday. A magical story that will delight Holly Webb fans. If you’re looking for an antidote to cute kittens, then Undead Pets is for you! Paying no heed to the adage, “Be careful what you wish for”, Joe wishes on an Egyptian amulet for a pet, and finds himself surrounded by an assortment of zombie cats, dogs and hamsters, who all require his help! The Ninja Meerkats are also back in action. Armed to the teeth with ninja-know-how, these furry heroes are ready for anything! If you want something for girls, then we have the perfect package in BFFs, which follows the lives of best friends Jas and Ellie, as they go up to secondary school. We’ve also got two new series perfect for animal lovers: check out the glitzy world of stunt riders in Stardust Stables; and for younger readers there’s The White Horse Bay Adventures.
