THE MISCHIEVIANS
By William Joyce
Imprint: Atheneum Books for Young Readers
●●
Belly button lint
●●
Disappearing socks
●●
Missing homework
●●
That tingly feeling when you hit your elbow
All these mysterious phenomena, it turns out, can be explained in one word: Mischievians.
DO NOT be taken in by their innocent appearance. These creatures are responsible for
everything from the back itch you can’t quite reach to the boogers that dangle recklessly
from your nose—and YOU are your only defense.
From EARWORMS (who get that song you HATE stuck in your ear) to DANGLERS (who are
the ones that lure boogers out of your nose) to the ITCHY (a particularly irksome creature
who tends to strike the dead center of your back, at the exact spot you can’t reach, no
matter how you bend and stretch), Mischievians come in all shapes and sizes. Luckily, the
world-renowned Dr. Zooper is here to help. His scientific drawings and extensive Q&As
will prepare even the most squeamish readers to take on these culpable critters—before
you “lose” your homework AGAIN!
William Joyce and Moonbot’s The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore picture book was a
#1 New York Times bestseller, and the short film won an Academy Award. And editions have sold in
twenty-one countries throughout the world! William Joyce’s two series, The Guardians and
The Guardians of Childhood, have been translated into seven languages.

vast jungle with many mango
trees, it has not rained for weeks and weeks. The village well and
pond are dry. Monkey and his friends look everywhere for water,

One dark night in the henhouse,

A duck so sly, he plans to convince Fox that he isn’t a duck but—
a dog! Yes, a dog.
This clever story and its accompanying visual narrative will
delight readers young and old—because if it looks like a dog, and
it barks like a dog, it HAS to be a dog . . . right?

An epic new middle-grade animal fantasy set in the transit tunnels of Brooklyn
Hopper is just an ordinary pet-shop mouse before he escapes the confines of his cage. Soon he finds
himself below the bustling streets of Brooklyn, deep within the untamed tangles of transit tunnels,
and in Atlantia, a glorious utopian rat civilization.
MOUSEHEART
When Isabelle and Isabella lost their handwritten list in a store, they feared it was gone forever. But
after a clerk found their notebook and posted about it on Facebook, Isabelle and Isabella became
overnight sensations—even the staff of Good Morning America said, “Everyone here wants a copy
of this. This is going to be a bestseller!” Because, after all, who doesn’t need a little help navigating
their way through life, at any age?
But all is not what it seems. Though Hopper is treated as a royal guest, he misses Pinkie and Pup, his
siblings that he lost in the escape attempt. Also, Atlantia is constantly threatened by the roving rebels
who wish to bring the city to its knees. And there are cats everywhere in Atlantia, cats that would
normally eat a rodent in a second, but leave the citizens unharmed . . . and no one knows why.
Soon, Hopper is caught in an epic battle, one that crosses generations and species. As the clashes
rage, Hopper learns terrible secrets: deadly secrets about Atlantia and painful secrets about his
friends. And one powerful secret about his destiny.
Bravery isn’t measured by size. It’s measured by heart.

Illustrated by Iacopo Bruno
Find out the real story of Tom Sawyer in this whip-smart retelling of The Adventures of Tom
Sawyer, written from the point of view of Tom’s supposed love interest, Becky Thatcher.
In 1860, eleven-year-old Becky Thatcher is the new girl in town, determined to have adventures
like she promised her brother, Jon, before he died. With her mama frozen in grief and her daddy
busy as town judge, Becky spends much of her time on her own, getting into mischief. Before
long, she joins the boys at school in a bet to steal from the Widow Douglas, and Becky convinces
her new best friend, Amy Lawrence, to join her.
Becky decides that she and Amy need a bag of dirt from a bad man’s grave as protection for
entering the widow’s house, so they sneak out to the cemetery at midnight, where they witness
the thieving Pritchard brothers digging up a coffin. Determined to keep her family safe (and to
avoid getting in trouble), Becky makes Amy promise not to tell anyone what they saw.
When their silence inadvertently results in the Widow Douglas being accused of the grave
robbery, Becky concocts a plan to clear the widow’s name. If she pulls it off, she might just get
her mama to notice her again and fulfill her promise to Jon in a most unexpected way . . . if that
tattle-tale Tom Sawyer will quit following her around.

tell you that, at some point or another, his head got
chopped off and shoved into a freezer in Denver,
Colorado. Five years later, it was reattached to some
other guy’s body, and well, here he is. Defying all

ORDER OF DARKNESS #3: FOOLS’ GOLD
Rights guide
That was six months ago. My mum died without telling me who my real dad was. And
for a while I hated her for it. I thought she’d taken the secret of my father’s identity with
her forever. But she didn’t. Holy hell, she didn’t. Because three weeks ago I found out
the truth. And I’m still reeling from the shock of it. My dad is none other than Johnny
Jefferson, mega-famous rock star and one-time serial womaniser. And now I’m on
my way to LA to meet him and his family. My tiny little world has just got a whole lot
bigger. . . .

SHIFT
By Jeff Povey
A new, high-concept, action-packed adventure series that’s perfect for fans of Michael Grant,
Charlie Higson, and Anthony Horowitz.
Rev is stuck in detention with a random assortment of classmates—including her best friend
Billie, gorgeous-but-silent Johnson, wheelchair-bound Moth, happy-go-lucky GG, sexist oaf
Ape, queen-bee Cassie, and goody-goody Lucas—when a strange power surge hits their
classroom. One by one as they leave detention, they realise they are the only ones left in the city,
with no sign of family, friends, or neighbours—or anyone at all.
But then they come across duplicate versions of themselves. Beings with their own key
characteristics but wound up by about 1000 percent. Stronger, faster, better. And their
doppelgangers aren’t at all pleased to see them. In fact, they want them dead . . .

THE BLOOD LIST
By Sarah Naughton
The year is 1646; tales of witches, murder, and changelings are rife; and a dark era is about to begin . . .
Barnaby is the perfect son: strong, handsome, and brave. But he will never be the son his mother
desires. Forced to abandon her baby in the woods by the village folk who believed him to be a fairy
changeling, she won’t accept the child that returned was her true son.
His history means superstition has haunted Barnaby’s whole life, but when the beautiful Naomi
catches his attention his world is thrown into chaos as dark rumours take hold of the small village.
Naomi is accused of being a witch, and as fear spreads, Barnaby finds himself on trial
too, facing the ultimate penalty—death.

THE WILDERNESS
By C. J. Harper
The second installment of the page-turning dystopian trilogy that began with The Disappeared
On the run after the uprising at the Academy, Jackson and Kay have ended up with the criminals
and the crazies in the place of childhood nightmares, the Wilderness. Here, in a ghost city, they find
a bloodthirsty captain training a ruthless Resistance who are everything Jackson has hoped for,
except for one thing: they’re a bunch of kids. Jackson thinks he can use the Resistance’s plans to get
close enough to kill his father, The Leader, ending his brutal and bloody treatment of the underclass.
Simple. But what Jackson discovers about his father and the devastating methods of the Resistance
is anything but simple. Who is controlling the country? And who can Jackson trust?

HAUNT!
By Curtis Jobling
The first book in a comically creepy new series from the author of Wereworld
When Will finds himself in hospital, but unable to make anyone see or hear him, he realises that he
never made it home from his first date with the school hottie. Knocked off his bike in a road traffic
accident, Will is now officially dead—and a ghost. But somehow his best mate, Dougie, can still
see him, and once they’ve exhausted all the comic possibilities of being invisible, they decide to
delve into the truth behind a school rumour—whether there really is an unhappy spirit haunting
the ruins in the school grounds, and if so, why? What they discover is a long-buried mystery,
which stretches its fingers right into the present.
Ghostbusters meets Skulduggery Pleasant in this funny supernatural tale from the point of view of
a geeky teen stolen away from life just on the cusp of greatness—possibly.
