Miss Cat: The Case of the Curious Canary This is the first volume in a quirky and stylish new graphic novel series. Miss Cat has the air of a noir detective, and there is a little bit of menace in the story. Adults reading for children will enjoy various references, but most of all this is an excellent chapter book for kids who have recently learnt to read by themselves. The second volume is Miss Cat: The Gnome's Nightmare.

Doctor Who star Nicola Bryant is among the cast lined up for Harry’s Home, a gently funny and emotional audio play touching upon the day-to-day reality of dementia, currently seeking crowdfunding on IndieGogo. Harry’s Home is a not-for-profit project and will be made available to Dementia and Alzheimer’s related charities for free upon completion. But to complete it, the team, led by Helen Quigley, well known as a Podcast Producer and her work for B7 Media and Comedy Central, need your support!.

We've picked our favourite new books for kids of 2024. From beautiful picture books for children as young as two years old, to novels for 8-12 year olds to read by themselves, our book recommendations for kids include something for everyone. 2024 is a particularly good year for chapter books for emerging readers; it can be hard to find good books for 5-8 year olds to read for pleasure (as opposed to learning to read), but this year has a great crop of entertaining easy reads.
