In 1879, Ned Kelly and his gang took over the town of Jerilderie for three days. At this time, Ned was a dangerous outlaw who had already killed three police officers. In Jerilderie, he and his gang ambushed the police, held up the bank, took more than thirty people hostage and stole thousands of pounds.

But John Gribble insisted that Ned return a woman's horse he'd stolen, as well as Gribble's watch, which one of Ned's men had snatched.

The Man Who Stood Up to Ned Kelly is a picture book that teaches children about bravery and standing up for people who need help. It also details a part of the Ned Kelly story they are unlikely to have heard before, providing new insight into the life of Australia's most well-known bushranger.

All Aidan thought he'd have to survive during the summer school holidays was yet another game of Fortnite with his mates. But one teeny-tiny bad decision leads to a whole bunch, and he's forced to play a real-life game of survival off the wild West Australian coast.

With his Border Collie Barney by his side, will Aidan's courage, humour and grit, along with inspiration from a few celebrities, be enough to see him get safely home?

As well as being a thrilling independent read, Aidan Versus the Ocean aligns with the Australian Curriculum (Science, HASS, English). With key links and a full set of accompanying teaching notes spanning Years 47, this title would make an ideal whole class set mentor text or classroom read-aloud novel.

This survival story is perfect for middle-grade readers. They'll be hooked by the fast-paced action, survival tips, courage and humour Aidan uses as he struggles to survive in wild coastal Australia. They'll be kept on the edge of their seats with every battle Aidan faces as they discover if he'll ever be rescued.

He was kicked out of his last school, the prestigious Nox Wizarding Academy, because he's a wizard with almost no magic.

But Eric, a monster, quickly befriends him, introducing him to Freya, a fairy with breathtaking magical skills, and Colter, a werewolf. To protect Miles from school bullies, Eric decides that the four of them should enter the Battle Games, a highly dangerous contest only for the strongest of magic users. Miles objects, but Eric is sure he has magic in him somewhere.

But when Miles's magic starts to develop, it's different from anyone else's. Why is his grandfather so worried about Miles using his newfound skills in the Battle Games? What secret is his family hiding?

If Miles is going to help his friends survive against the magical beasts and powerful teams in the battles, he will need to uncover his family's secret and discover the truth of who he really is.

Miles Thorne and the Forbidden Magic is about the importance of family, the power of friendship and finding the courage to accept yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.

You can find in-betweens everywhere! Some are as overlooked as the space between an itch and a scratch. Others are as thrilling as the pause between making a wish and blowing out your birthday candles. How you feel about an in-between really does depend on your perspective... and each one is full of potential.

Once you spot the spaces in-between, everything changes. Instead of rushing from one thing to the next, you can pause to collect and reflect. Is this something you really want to do? How much longer can you wait? Maybe it's time to say...sorry?

Sparkling with the signature wit of Naseem Hrab (author of How to Party Like a Snail) and the cracking comedic timing of John Martz (illustrator of How to Give Your Cat a Bath: In Five Easy Steps), Every Space Between is an unexpected invitation to a world of possibilities!

Follow the footsteps of our ancestors as they head out on the quiet hunt, looking for roots and leaves, mushrooms and berries, fruits, flowers, nuts and seeds. But foraging is about more than just food our ancestors also helped spread seeds and spores, took only what they needed, and gave thanks to the plants and animals that sustained them. Today, in our cities and towns, the quiet hunt looks a little different. But we can still gather our tools and follow the paths our ancestors took to find what grows in our own backyards.

This lyrical story-poem from award-winning author Jean E. Pendziwol is a celebration of foraging that inspires an appreciation of found food, encourages our connection with nature and sparks our awareness of responsible environmental stewardship.

With the mentorship of Amy, a neighbour who is well-versed in no-dig gardening, Luna, Bianca, and Billy set to work mixing manure, spreading mulch, and sowing seeds. After a few weeks of hard work, the yard is transformed into a sustainable community garden, and more and more people are showing up to grow herbs, mushrooms, vegetables, and fruit. Just when everyone is beginning to harvest their hard-earned local food, they learn that the property is going to be cleared for a parking lot. Will this be the end of their secret garden? Or can the children rally their community to save the day?

It was Cotterson, the boy from Sewers Canal who wanted to burn the Sobraon. Her heart jolted.

The barge had delivered the Forty Thieves onto the ship!

Marion's life is anything but ordinary. The daughter of the principal, Captain Neitenstein, she is the only girl aboard a magnificent floating boys' school, anchored permanently in Sydney Harbour in the late 1800s. Her best friend has boarded a steamship to France and now it's just her and this ship full of ragtag schoolboys. One night, Marion discovers that a new student, Alexander Walker, is escaping the ship to meet up with his vicious gang, the Forty Thieves. Marion bravely follows Walker into the frightening Rocks neighbourhood to investigate...What are the Forty Thieves up to and will Marion be able to stop them before it's too late?

Based on the real life Marion Neitenstein, this middle-grade 'faction', which offers an immersive and historically accurate experience of an unusual nineteenth-century institution for neglected boys. Marion's middle-class life is contrasted with Sydney slum life and wharf culture. Other important real characters appear, including businessman Quong Tart and the head of the Forty Thieves gang Joseph Bragg.

The author used primary sources to research the story, such as old gaol inmate records and even Quong Tart's original menus, and delves into these sources in the endmatter, covering topics such as the Nautical school-ships Vernon and Sobraon and their captains, the Rocks, Quong Tart and more. The text is accompanied by real photographs from the ship, portraits of three Sobraon boys from the admissions book and images of Sydney street scene from the period.

The words profiled in this book are all commonly used in the Japanese language and are both informative and fun for English-speaking children to learn. The goals of My First Book of Japanese Words are multiple: to familiarize children with the sounds and structure of Japanese speech; to introduce core elements of Japanese culture; to illustrate the ways in which languages differ in their treatment of everyday sounds; and to show how, through cultural importation, a single word can be shared between languages.

Both teachers and parents will welcome the book's cultural and linguistic notes, and appreciate how the book is organized in a familiar ABC structure. Each word is presented in Kanji (when applicable), Kana, and Romanized form (Romaji). With the help of this book, we hope more children (and adults) will soon be a part of the 125 million people worldwide that speak Japanese!

For the first time, middle readers can learn the complete story of the courageous girl whose life, which ended through the effects of war, inspired a worldwide call for peace.

In this book, Sadako's older brother Masahiro tells her true story- how her courage throughout her illness inspired family and friends, and how Sadako became a symbol of all people, especially kids, who suffer from the impact of war. Her life and her death carry a message: we must have a wholehearted desire for peace and be willing to work together to achieve it.

Sadako Sasaki was two years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on her city of Hiroshima at the end of World War II. Ten years later, just as life was starting to feel almost normal again, this athletic and enthusiastic girl was fighting a war of a different kind.

One of many children affected by the bomb, she had contracted leukemia. Patient and determined, Sadako set herself the task of folding 1000 paper cranes in the hope that her wish to be made well again would be granted.

Centuries ago, a Japanese white pine tree grew on the island of Miyajima inJapan. While the tree was still young, it was gently uprooted and taken to join theYamaki family at their home in Hiroshima, where it was lovingly pruned andtrimmed into a beautiful bonsai tree. Told from the perspective of the little tree,this astonishing true story is a tale of survival, hope, and friendship. Time passed happily for the little tree, until the morning ofAugust 6, 1945, when an atomic bomb destroyed Hiroshima. Many people died,but the Yamaki family and Miyajima, along with all their other bonsai trees,survived the tragedy.Life went on for the little tree, until one day in 1976, a truck arrived to takeMiyajima away. The little bonsai tree was on its way to the National Arboretum inWashington, DC, as a gift of friendship from Japan to America. Miyajima was soproud to be a part of this gift, but alsovery sad to leave the Yamaki family and his home.Many years later, Masaru, the elderly grandfather of the Yamaki family, and histen-year-old grandson, Akira, make a surprise visit to Washington. They headdirectly to the National Arboretum to visit their much missed and beloved familymember, Miyajima.

"How can one explain to children the effects of a nuclear bomb, and how it impacts people around the world?  It can be an awkward subject.  Countries that were at one time enemies but are now allies can set a good example for the world.  It all starts with one little sapling...Trees have great memories, and I do hope that humankind will remember the atrocities of the past (and present) and find ways to live more peacefully in the future.  I am pleased that there isa children's book, inspired by a true event that sheds a positive light on a harsh subject." -Castle View Academy blog

"Wilds' full-page landscape illustrations are the best: lush green forest teaming with flora and fauna, the stark and monochrome shock of a bombed city, and the gorgeous blue sky and pink blossoms of a rebuilding land. Moore's use of a novel perspective gives way to a discussion about the meanings of history, war, and peace." -Asian Fortune News

In Japanese, the word yokai refers to magical apparitions and mysterious events. These mythical creatures give a name and a form to the strange and uncanny things happening all around us.

This colourful guide in picture book format is a funny, fast and slightly scary introduction to the stars of the Japanese yokai world.

  • The Kitsune, a freaky fox with paranormal, supernatural powers
  • The Kasa-obake, a one-eyed one-legged umbrella with a long, slithery tongue
  • Kurokamikiri, a shaggy bearlike beast that sneaks up on you and cuts your hair
  • Nuppeppo, a flabby, wrinkly blob that lives in graveyards and smells of rotten meat
  • Hanako, a creepy little girl who haunts the toilets of elementary school bathrooms
  • And many more!

Yokai are out there, lurking among us creating mischief and mayhem, or in some cases helping us or just having fun. With Japanese Yokai, the next time something eerie or strange happens, you'll know who's responsible!
