    Book SynopsisA picture book about how to brew an unexpected story from the author of the Fairytale Hairdresser series, and the illustrator of Fearless Mirabelle.Ollie and Susie are mixing a story soup in their kitchen. They think it will be easy to brew a story, but every time they throw an item into the soup the story takes an unexpected turn. Ollie wants a skateboarding story; Susie wants one about a princess - so they end up with a twisting turning tale about a skateboarding princess and a pirate who is a reluctant bad guy. But what happens when the story soup gets out of control? Will Ollie and Susie be able to work together to save the day?Trade ReviewOllie is mixing up a new story in the kitchen and his little sister Susie is eager to help. Ollie wants to make a story about a skateboard, so he throws one into the pot, but Susie thinks a princess story would be much better, so she sneaks in her princess doll when Ollie isn't looking. They end up with a twisting turning tale about a skateboarding princess and a silly pirate who can't swim.As the story brews, the siblings disagree more and more. And with each new "ingredient" they add to the soup, the story takes an unexpected turn. Soon the story soup gets completely out of control and their characters get into danger. Will Ollie and Susie be able to work together to save the day?Story Soup is a fun celebration of the power of imagination and a great introduction to how to create a story. There's even a "story soup" recipe at the end of the book, which guides a child through the story writing process. While also exploring sibling rivalry and forgiveness, this is a fantastic book to show youngsters that you can mix seemingly random items and ideas together and make an awesome, wacky story, just like Ollie and Susie's. * Book Trust *Ollie is mixing up a story in a cauldron. It's his story, and he wants it to be about a skateboard, and nothing else. His sister Susie, asks if she can add something to the story, but Ollie refuses. Annoyed, she throws in a Princess doll anyway, and a pirate, and some ketchup, until the story Ollie wanted to write has taken several unexpected turns. The more Ollie tries to set up his story back on course, the more it takes on a life of its own, as all the elements that are intentionally, or unintentionally, added combine to make something wholly new. He slowly learns the joys of collaboration, of creating things in new ways and venturing outside of your comfort zone, as he and Susie work together to give their story a happy ending. This tale from Abie Longstaff and Nila Aye will not only thrill children as vampire unicorns and rainbow zebras make their way into the it, but it will also give you a few ideas to work on building a creative story using items from around your setting. * Teach Early Years Magazine. *Siblings Ollie and Susie are cooking up story soup but can't seem to agree on what should go into the pot. With each new ingredient they add, the story takes an unexpected turn. A fun celebration of imagination and a great introduction to how to create a story. * Book Trust *

    Book SynopsisThe Hidden Creatures of Hackney is a story seen through the eyes of Kiran and Karma, as they explore their neighbourhood in search of a hidden magical world. The journey begins when the children find a map whilst playing in Granny’s attic. The map includes instructions for making devices called “Imagi-scopes”. Using these devices and through the power of imagination, they can see and interact with otherwise invisible magical creatures who inhabit each location. Along the way, the children enrage a squirrel druid, are nearly kidnapped by hairy Vikings, avoid being turned into fairies by a devious fox, and save their toes from being eaten by tiny aquatic tigers. There’s more to discover as they explore this make-believe world, eventually arriving at a strange fancy dress funfair, which seems entangled with the magical places Kiran and Karma have discovered whilst on their adventure. This fantasy-adventure, graphic-novel for developing readers aged 5-10, is written in verse, with a hint of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, a touch of The Gruffalo and a smidge of Pokémon GO. The whole family will love it!Trade Review“My goodness The Hidden Creatures of Hackney is a clever book. What Benjamin Eady has done is produce the perfect blend of image and text to reach so many young readers. Visually The Hidden Creatures of Hackney looks like a story for middle grade children but the rhyming text accompanying the images is accessible so that this is a story emergent readers and older more reluctant readers will adore… It’s about childhood fun, fantasy and adventure. It’s a story that stimulates imagination and provides enjoyment and entertainment for children. It’s colourful in appearance and content, so that children are given real joy in reading this book. Benjamin Eady’s The Hidden Creatures of Hackney is highly impressive and I really recommend it.” Review by award winning book reviewer, blogger and Literary Judge – Linda Hill, writer of Linda's Book Bag.
