Tails of Tangleby Gardens is a unique and enchanting book, combining a whimsical story with 40 recipes. Montgomery and Marmalade have escaped their cosy warren in Christchurch to start a new life elsewhere.

Children of the Rush

James Russell

Dragon Brothers

Ages 8+

It’s 1861; gold fever is sweeping the world. In the Gabriel’s Gully, children Michael and Atarangi couldn’t be more different, but they share one thing: a remarkable and magical talent.

Amidst lawlessness, greed and cruelty they find a gang preying upon the innocent; do they turn a blind eye, or fight back?

Crane Guy

Sally Sutton; Illustrated by Sarah Wilkins

Puffin

Ages 0–8

Explore the gorgeously detailed city scenes, bustling with people, construction machines and vehicles of all kinds.

Crane Guy is perfect for all young children obsessed with ‘up high’ places and machinery. A fun and interactive book kids will pore over long after they’ve had it read aloud to them.
