Astrosaurs: Mission To Infinity - @stevecolewriter.bsky.social, Tobey Cole & Alex Lopez (pub. @piccadilly-press.bsky.social)
Originally in chapter books in 2005, we’re so happy to see the Astrosaurs back in graphic form! We just know these new adaptations will be as beloved as the original series.

Donut Squad: Take Over the World! - @neillcameron.bsky.social (pub. @dfbstoryhouse.bsky.social)
And another new series - gosh we’re being spoiled! Donut Squad is full of all different kinds of doughnuts, with humour that’s off the wall. Oh, and don’t miss the art tutorials in the back of the book.

Detective Stanley and the Mystery at the Museum - Hannah Tunnicliffe and Erica Harrison (pub. @flyingeyebooks.bsky.social)
This new series has a Beagle detective and a real mystery! We adore the illustrations; they’re really unusual, almost retro. It’s quite short, so perfect for younger readers.

Pets Tell Tales: Ancient Egypt - @rikworth.bsky.social (pub. Wren & Rook via @hachettechildrens.bsky.social)
We loved our animal guides here, as it’s rare that you get a really fun graphic that is historically correct without being non-fiction. We look forward to talking to the pets of Rome next!

Unfairies - @huwaaron.bsky.social (pub. @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social)
Welcome to the world of fairies - definitely not traditional ones though! The Unfairies are like a manic cross between Wee Free Men and pixies, and we love it. The next one is out in May!

Dadbot - @jackdraws.bsky.social (pub. @piccadilly-press.bsky.social)
When Josh and Daisy buy a broken robot at a car boot sale, little do they know the shenanigans - and dangers - that might follow! Such good fun, we can’t wait for the next book in March.

Supa Nova - @heychante.bsky.social (pub. @nosycrow.bsky.social)
We love to see STEM graphic novels, and this is one of the best! Nova has a lab, and a plan - until it all goes very wrong! We can’t wait for a sequel to this smart and funny story.

The second of The Night House Files by @dansmithauthor.bsky.social (pub. @barringtonstoke.bsky.social) is the Wintermoor Lights, where some kids start behaving strangely after seeing lights in the sky. I won't tell you what happens but what a reveal it was at the end!
