ONE SHOT by Tanya Landman
When your childhood disappears in a blizzard. When you’re a girl in a man’s world. When the only thing that stands between you and a life worth having is a gun. You’re only going to get one shot.

A powerful and deeply moving coming-of-age drama from Carnegie Medal-winning author Tanya Landman, inspired by the life of infamous sharpshooter Annie Oakley

STARFISH by Akemi Dawn Bowman
Kiko Himura has always had a hard time saying exactly what she’s thinking. With a mother who makes her feel unremarkable and a half-Japanese heritage she doesn’t quite understand, Kiko grapples with social anxiety and her narcissistic mother in the wake of a crushing rejection from art school.

A luminous, heartbreaking story of identity, family, and the beauty that emerges when we embrace our true selves.

ROK OF THE REDS by John Wagner, Alan Grant, and Dan Cornwell
Dangerous intergalactic outlaws and an arrogant footballer collide when Rok of Arkadi, on the run after his home world is destroyed, needs a hiding place. And that hiding place happens to be troubled football star Kyle Dixon.

Industry legends John Wagner and Alan Grant (Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Judgement on Gotham) team up once again, with stunning art by Dan Cornwell, to bring you Rok of the Reds.
