Sir Scaly Pants the Dragon Knight ALWAYS fights for what's right, but it can be very lonely being the One and Only Dragon Knight. When an evil fire-breathing dragon kidnaps the king, Sir Scaly and his trusty steed, Guinevere, vow to rescue him. Their journey takes them to lands far and wide, and when they finally catch up with the wicked king-napping dragon, Scaly knows he's met his match. But is the evil dragon really as bad as everyone thinks, or can Scaly uncover the truth and finally make a friend? A tale full of peril and pants, this is the second brilliantly funny story featuring Sir Scaly Pants and his trusty steed, Guinevere. From Kate Greenaway Medal-shortlisted illustrator John Kelly.

An Accidental Atheist Australian author, John Kelly gives us this delightfully funny, yet poignant, bittersweet account of life in Australia both past and present as he confronts and tackles his demons both real and imagined. "I grew up in East Kew in Melbourne; there's probably a plaque there somewhere to mark the event. Back then, the world of actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, malignant cutaneous fibrous histiocytomas and melanomas were a lifetime away. Back then there was just the Sun.” A very clever fusion of the past and present told with vigour, humour and a healthy dose of scepticism as broadside after broadside is fired off at religion, the media, world politics, and football. ‘An Accidental Atheist’ encapsulates the pathos of a restricted Catholic upbringing, with its outrages and absurdities; yet between the lines one detects resilience, strength and a determination to overcome adversity and break through the barriers. A great account of a life lived, the highs, the lows, the pain and sorrow along with expressions of great joy and happiness.

THE ONLY THING LEFT WAS THEIR UNDERPANTS! (A PROFESSOR SPARKY SCIENCEY MYSTERY: Book 1) On the planet Duplex an unknown (but probably evil) genius is dematerializing members of the Extreme Cleverness Society leaving only their underpants behind! It’s time for Professor Sparky, scientific genius and sausage dog*, to interfere without being asked. With Ellie-Ann along for the thrills (and to stop him accidentally killing himself or blowing up the planet) he sets off to prevent more professors from being dematerialized. It doesn’t go well. But there is LOADS of exciting stuff about Quadflapple birds, worm-holes, indescribably foul-smelling dog-food, exotic-patterned underpants, reverse-o-alchemy, indoor explosions, lava-cats, and splunge-diving to keep you entertained along the way. *The sausage dog part is a recent development.
