Being Bee (10 page)

Something strange is happening down at the river...

When Luke and Alex discover a creepy man catching purple licking lizards from the river in the middle of the night, they think it's a bit weird.

But when the members of their football team begin mysteriously disappearing, they realise that there might just be more to this than meets the eye.

This action-packed adventure about reptiles, rivers, hideouts and stolen jewels, will grab your attention when you least expect it...

...just like a lizard in your lunch box...

Bailey's Swamp is a lot of things. Beautiful. Secluded. Creepy.

It's also thought to be the home of Big Red, a giant and elusive fish, a true legend of the local area. And Barney and Liam are determined to find him. And when they find him, they're going to catch him.

But they're about to discover that there's much more to be found at Bailey's Swamp than some big old fish.

In this exhilarating adventure story, James Roy will take you on a journey more electrifying than camping in a thunderstorm, and more thrilling than a Nantucket sleigh-ride.

Being inside the wave is the ultimate for a surfer. A place where, once you've been, you'll never forget. A place where time and space are squeezed and bent like in another dimension. But once you're in you have to make it out.

You have to make it to the light.

A book of wonder, curiosity and imagination. This story invites you to fly with birds and angels, float with clouds and balloons, to change colours, blow breezes and stir up storms.

Stunningly illustrated by Stella Danalis,
What the Sky Knows

‘It's a truly captivating and original work of art.'

Loku said, ‘I'm going to have an adventure, too!'

Nul laughted and replied, ‘No you're not. You always do the right thing. You're a Responsible Boy.'

Loku is determined to prove that he is just as brave as his twin brother, so he sets out to find his own adventure. But how can a mere boy survive alone in a world of men? How can he make the right choice when the choices are so difficult – his own life or that of his tribe's sacred totem?

Loku must draw on all his courage and determination in this fast-paced fable set on the coast of Papua New Guinea.

Was that Torithor, Granny? Did we really see Torithor? But Granny said nothing, for she knew that there were some things children should not speak about...

Nyrlotte lives with her family on their land in the West Cape York region of Northern Queensland. Her Granny is a powerful woman, who knows all the stories and can sing a cyclone away and Nyrlotte knows that she should listen always to her Granny's warnings.

Because, as beautiful as it is, the land is also old and sometimes old things are the most dangerous of all.

But listening isn't always Nyrlotte's strong point, and some lessons can only be learnt the hard way...

On Country: The Stories of Nyrlotte
is a beautiful and sensitive journey to another culture, another Australia – a journey of discovery, love, and just a little naughtiness.
