Now Adam must sneak into Dad's secret magic office, find clues, and decipher an ancient scroll in order to bring him home. What he doesn't expect is to make unexpected friends along the way - like the school bully who's been harbouring his secret love of interdimensional travel all along.
Together, the friends have to find, and fix the portal to bring Dad home... But it’ll only open on a rare, full planetary alignment… in a few days.

Shocking Shelly
Shelly is the leader of her group - the one her friends come to when they need support and guidance. But when Shelly sees them huddled and whispering without her, her whole world falls apart. She automatically looks for the fault in herself.
Stef is Shelly's best friend - she's organising a birthday surprise for Shelly. She didn't intend on upsetting Shelly in the process.
The group of friends decide to tell Shelly a little white lie, asking for her help to plan a party for Drew.
Shelly is relived to be included again, but on edge - she still doesn't know what she did wrong.
When the celebrations begin and they surround Shelly to sing the happy birthday song, she realises they've been planning a surprise for her, and have loved her, all along.
An emotional roller coaster showing how even the purest of intentions can still hurt others. And our internal narrative can easily take us to negative places.
There are two sides to every story.

Flump's First Flight
It's finally the day for Ash's family to go on their first flying holiday. But within the excitement, Ash notices Flump - their floppy bunny - is feeling a range of other, unexpected emotions too.
To help ease Flump's nerves, Ash guides Flump through every part of their journey, explaining where loud noises are coming from and what to expect - especially the scary bits.
Or perhaps it's Ash who's a bit nervous, and by helping Flump they are self soothing.
Together, Flump and Ash make it all the way to their destination - the bravest of jet setters, ready to explore.
With real aviation facts and a few laughs thrown in, this book is great for children who like to have a plan, and need a bit of reassurance, particularly around flying.
