Cody's story is relatable if you've ever felt like an outsider. His love for baseball shines through, despite the challenges he faces with bullying and crime at school. It’s a heartening tale for anyone who's struggled to be seen for who they are, rather than how they appear. Plus, it's co-written by baseball legend Cal Ripken Jr., adding an authentic touch to the sports action.

The added element of a traitor in their ranks makes the tale not just an action-packed journey, but also a psychological puzzle. If you enjoy stories that blend friendship, suspense, and a dash of tropical scenery, this wave of adventure will undoubtedly sweep you into its current.

Nurturing the Love of Reading in Young Minds

Encouraging a love for reading begins early, and our young readers' collection is designed to do just that. We offer a diverse range of books that fuel the imagination and knowledge in children aged 6-12. From timeless classics to contemporary favourites, our selection inspires young minds to explore and learn.

For our youngest readers (ages 6-8), we've gathered an array of picture books brimming with vibrant illustrations and simple text. These stories help little ones build vocabulary and develop a keen interest in the written word. As children grow into more confident readers (ages 8-10), we offer early chapter books that bridge the gap between picture books and longer novels.

Our older readers (ages 10-12) will find shelves full of engaging middle-grade novels that challenge and excite. These books introduce more complex themes and characters, helping children develop critical thinking skills and emotional intelligence.

Throughout our collection, you'll find beloved series that have captivated generations, alongside exciting new voices in children's literature. Whether your child dreams of magical adventures or loves learning about the real world, we have books to match their passions. Non-fiction titles on topics from dinosaurs to space exploration sit comfortably next to fantastical tales of dragons and wizards.

We believe in the power of choice when it comes to fostering a reading habit. That's why we offer a wide variety of genres, styles, and reading levels. From the laugh-out-loud humour of Diary of a Wimpy Kid to the thoughtful narratives of award-winning authors, there's something here to pique every interest.
