McTavish has his eyes on the pies as he and the Peachey family return for a third hilarious middle-grade adventure from the multi-award-winning Meg Rosoff.
The Peachey family enjoy fine meals each night now that everyone takes turns cooking. Everyone, that is, except grumbling Pa Peachey – until some unsatisfactory bread pushes him to try baking. Convinced that he has found his true calling, Pa sets his sights on winning the town Bake Off. Unfortunately, his great ideas far surpass his skills, and soon Pa's ambitions are crumbling under the weight of 3,784 pieces of gingerbread … McTavish smells disaster in the making, and it looks like he's going to have to save the day – again.
Howl with laughter with the third book in the hilarious
full-colour, illustrated series, Dog Man, from the
creator of Captain Underpants!
He was the best of dogs...
He was the worst of dogs...
It was the age of invention...
It was the season of surprise...
It was the eve of supa sadness...
It was the dawn of hope...
Dog Man hasn't always been a paws-itive addition to the
police force.
While he can muzzle miscreants, he tends to leave a slick of slobber
in his wake!
This time, Petey the cat's dragged in a tiny bit of trouble --
a double in the form of a super-cute kitten.
Dog Man will have to work twice as hard to bust these
furballs and remain top dog!

And that's how you find me a-takin' my ease

From number one bestselling author David Walliams comes another heartfelt but hilarious hoot of an adventure

People call me Fish Boy. My skin goes up and down like the waves. My mind goes in and out like the sea. They say I've always got my mouth open, that I ask too many questions. But what's wrong with that?
Billy's got a lot on his mind - that he'd rather not think or talk about. So he watches David Attenborough, because Sir David's asked all the questions and got all the answers, and swims in the sea, just letting his mind drift . . .
So when new boy and nature fan Patrick Green starts at school with 'fingers like steel, strength of a bear' and a mackerel swims up to Billy's face, blows bubbles into his Vista Clear mask goggles and says: 'Fish Boy', Billy knows he can't keep it secret, because . . . a crazy talking mackerel changes EVERYTHING.
Shimmering with almost-magic and adventure, this is an exceptional read.
Accompanied by gorgeous illustrations by Richard Jones.
