Cat School: Odd Cat Out
Created by Rose Robbins
Published by Scallywag Press
Cat School is ready for a new term, ready to welcome curious kittens who can't wait to learn how to become confident cats. Meet Pelly, Tangle, Eno and their teacher, Miss Bloom.
Each of the kittens, and their teacher have their own distinctive personalities, their own unique traits, giving us plenty to learn about them and perhaps even relate to ourselves. For Tangle and Eno this new school might make them nervous but as old friends they know they have one another. Pelly is completely new and she is aware her neurodivergence makes her a little different. Rather than show her true self she tries to fit in and hide her differences. Can her new friends draw the true Pelly out of her shell? An absolutely charming story, presented with gentle, calming two tone illustration. There's so much to love about this story, to look forward to discovering.
Go-Man! The Star Dragon
Created by Hamish Steele
Published by Union Square Kids
As you might have come to realise, superheroes' alter-egos, their human part, is the most unsuspecting person you could imagine! Tobi is no exception. Shy and awkward he is also Go-Man, a giant superhero.
Could you do what Tobi does? Everyday he juggles the danger of detention, the hazard that comes with making new friends and then, almost for fun, Spigera's monsters... But his dad is getting jealous, of Go-Man. Can he rely on his best friend, president of his fan club, Grace? They are going to have to face Tobi's bully, Milo, who has fallen prey to one of Spogera's evil plans. If they can put aside their differences, if Grace can find herself proud to be the sidekick rather than the hero, Model City 3 might stand a chance against it's super-villian.
A second brilliant, full colour, full excitement adventure for Go Man, for Model City 3 and for readers.
