Figaro, the baby alpaca, is born on a spring day on Farmer Bob's farm in a field of long, soft, green grass. He's covered in brown wool that's cozy and fluffy. He dreams of growing a sweater that will keep somebody warm and dry. Figaro's mother tells him it's going to be a big job and it will take a whole year for him to grow the wool necessary to create a sweater. Figaro works hard to grow his wool. He eats all of his grass and hay every day; he runs and plays outside with his friends; and he has a big sleep every night. He even eats his vitamins. Soon, it's time for him and his other alpaca friends to get haircuts. It's an exciting day on the farm. Figaro is nervous, but he likes his new haircut. He's excited about contributing his wool for a sweater. Figaro Grows a Sweater, a picture book for children by author Caroline Gregg, shares the story of the little alpaca Figaro who worked hard to grow a sweater that would keep someone warm and make them happy.

In a paranoid Britain, Kyla, unable to save Cal, is now alone and hiding from the oppressive authorities, but even she can't avoid the ruthless Counterinsurgency and Anti-Terror Squads, or CATS. Instead of imprisoning her, CATS cuts her a deal. They want to brainwash Kyla and use the talents that make her elusive—her athletic ability, cunning, and quick thinking—to turn her into a valuable asset of their own, hunting down the very people fighting for her freedom. Will Kyla be able to escape? Or will she succumb to the villainous CATS and betray everyone?

Cal's world splinters apart when he finds out he's been in a deliberately induced coma state for most of his life, and what he thought was real was only an illusion. Escaping his captors, Cal goes on the run, determined to fight the forces behind the nightmare he finds waiting for him in the real world, and to discover his true identity. A tense and gripping thriller where nothing is as it seems, from a talented author whose writing cuts straight to the bone—spiky, uncompromising, and deeply moving.

A mysterious boy. A haunting secret ... 'A shiver crawled up my spine. It felt like the loneliest place in the world. For a second I thought I caught a snatch of music in the air, but it was just the wind whistling through cracks in the fairground hoardings. My instincts screamed, "Run away, Bel! Run away and never return!" But instead my fingers closed around the ticket in my pocket. ADMIT ONE.' Bel has never met anyone like Luka. And the day she follows him into the abandoned fairground, she is totally unprepared for the turn her life is about to take.
