Neal teams up, once again, with Michael Rosen to bring the viral poem-turned-picture book Hot Food: Nice! to life - a deliciously chaotic tale of a too-hot potato, a well-intentioned (but hapless) dad - what could possibly go wrong?
Joe Lillington takes us on a global story with Wild Journey, a brand-new story collection by A.M. Dassu that follows five children across five countries on one big adventure.

Following the madcap adventures of The Impossible Quests, Dotty Sutton reunites with author Sam Copeland and Puffin to deliver another riotous tale packed with peril, comedy, and brilliantly bold artwork.
Dotty Sutton conjures up a riot of mischief in The Notwitches: Prison Break, the uproarious second instalment of Gary Panton’s middle-grade series from Chicken House Books.
Melanda Notwitch is back and this time she’s setting out to break herself in to prison in order to break her parents out. Dotty’s whimsical black-and-white artwork captures every absurd moment beautifully - from goblin roommates who hate mornings to nearly-talking cats. The result? A gloriously absurd romp bursting with heart, humour, and visual mischief.
“Gary has done it again. A new cast of fabulously silly characters. I had just as much fun as book 1 bringing these hilarious villains to life… I can't wait for kids to meet the Governess and have a good giggle!” — Dotty Sutton.
From the wonderful cover to the final vignette, The Notwitches: Prison Break is brought joyfully to life by Dotty's fun-filled imagery.
