Andy Griffiths The 169-Storey Treehouse Signing
The 169-Storey Treehouse by Andy Griffiths, Terry Denton

The final book in the Treehouse series is here and you can get it signed by the one, the only, Andy Griffiths!

There are lots of laughs at every level in The 169-Storey Treehouse, the last book in the worldwide bestselling Treehouse series by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton.

Andy and Terry have added thirteen new levels and built their biggest and most astonishing treehouse yet! It has everything they – and you – could wish for including: an electric pony stable, a NOISY level, a weather dome (where you can have whatever weather you want whenever you want it), and an 100% edible gingerbread house and a potato-powered translation transmitter that allows you to talk to everything everywhere all at the same time.

There's also a hall of funhouse mirrors, which is the perfect place to hide from Mr Bunkoff who is trying to catch Andy, Terry and Jill in order to send them to school.

But Anti-Andy, Terrible Terry and Junkyard Jill, their trouble-making opposites, are trapped in one of the mirrors — and they want out. (Oh, and Mr Big Nose wants them to write their book . . . RIGHT NOW.)

Can our heroes escape school, defeat their doppelgängers AND meet their book deadline?

Well, what are you waiting for? Come on up!

Millie Mak the Maker (Millie Mak, #1) by Alice Pung, Sher Rill Ng (Illustrator)

Join us to celebrate the release of Millie Mak the Maker with author Alice Pung and illustrator Sher Rill Ng!

This event will include a super special reading of Millie Mak the Maker with award-winning author-illustrator team Alice Pung and Sher Rill Ng, and will be jam-packed with fun activities. This is the perfect activity-filled event to occupy your little ones time over the school holidays.

Millie Mak the Maker follows nine-year-old Millie Mak who has discovered she has a superpower!

Using everyday objects, Millie turns them into something new, beautiful and useful. Who would ever think that a sunhat could be made from an old bedsheet, a skirt from a tea-towel, or some hair scrunchies from a scarf?

Through her creativity and clever thinking, Millie also deals with different friendships, tricky family challenges, and contributes to the school fete.

Beatrix & Fred Book Launch
Beatrix and Fred by Emily Spurr

Join us and Emily Spurr, in conversation with Katherine Collette, to celebrate the release of her new novel Beatrix & Fred.

Beatrix is a loner. She has a love-hate relationship with her one friend, Ray, a hate-hate relationship with everyone else in her office and a genuine attachment to a stuffed canary named Horatio. She drinks alone far too much. Lately she’s been finding the edge of the railway platform dangerously seductive.

Her life needs to change. Then she crosses paths with an old woman who seems to be stalking her, and that’s exactly what happens. Eighty-something Fred is smart, earthy, funny and not the harmless elderly lady she appears to be. She is, in fact, quite literally something else. But what?

When something happens to Ray, Fred decides to reveal herself. And Beatrix realises she has some agonising choices to make.

Beatrix & Fred is an off-kilter love story wrapped in a satisfying layer of moral complexity and tied up with a ribbon of sheer fun. Warm, witty, more than slightly weird—it takes the age-old question of what it is to be human beyond humanity itself.
