We read Fox's debut, The Boy in the Suit, in October 2024 and we thought it was incredible (you can check out our review for it on our website), so we can't wait to sit down with this one. Place your preorders now - it's out on Feb 12th!

Phew, what a list! You can see why we couldn't cut it down 😉 The range of graphics books for kids now is truly fantastic, with amazing new series coming out every day. What were your favourites from last year?

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.

Pablo and Splash: Roman Holiday - @sheenadempsey.bsky.social (pub. @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social)
Time-travelling penguins Pablo and Splash are back, and this time they’re off to Ancient Rome! This series is silly fun, while also giving readers a little taste of history.

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.

Bumble and Snug and the Worried Dragons - @markbradley.bsky.social (pub. Hodder Children’s Books via @hachettechildrens.bsky.social)
The two friends are together in another full-colour adventure! This is the fifth book in the Bumble and Snug series, and as always it’s great fun for young readers.

Not sure you'll find this one less creepy 😅 But I knocked it out in one short sitting, so it's just as compelling as the first one!

Ooo, I can't wait! Lynda has kindly been putting them aside for me to read...I handle scary stuff a lot better than she does! (More accurate to say that I love it 😍) Looking forward to the next one!

Oh, you'll definitely enjoy this then! The first is still my fave I think, just about, but this one does something completely different to it. It kind of reminds me of reading Goosebumps when I was younger!
