Seascraper by Benjamin Wood
Young Thomas Flett’s life is governed by the sea and tradition. He goes out twice a day with his horse and trap – just like his grandfather did – to gather shrimp at low tide. It is lonely, relentless and dangerous work. You have to know how to navigate across miles of flat beach – just one step in the wrong place and the shifting sands will swallow you up.
For all the hardship he endures, Thomas only just makes a living, so when a Hollywood director comes to Longferry to scope out possible film locations, he starts to dream of a different life for himself. Beautiful, timeless and quietly compelling. – Lucinda

Piglettes by Clémentine Beauvais
An absolutely delightful, charming summer road trip read… on bikes! Mireille, Astrid and Hakima have just been voted the top 3 pigs – the ugliest girls in their class. This is Mireille’s third year to be included, and she’s learned what we all aim for – turning lemons into lemonade.
This horrible bullying competition has given her two new friends and a goal for the summer – to cycle from their town of Bourg-en-Bresse to Paris selling sausages from a cart! They each have their own reason for wanting to be in Paris on July 14th, and they have all the newspapers hanging on their every word waiting to hear what the reasons will be. ” – Hannah
