‘Hello, stars. I thought I heard you calling me.’ A mysterious voice has been speaking to Louise in her dreams. She and her
brother Merwin are Sycamore seeds, who hope to one day set down roots and become big trees. But when a fire forces
them to leave their mama tree prematurely, they find themselves catapulted into the unknown, far from home. Alone and
unprepared, they must use their wits and imagination to navigate a dangerous world—filled with dinosaurs, meteors, and
volcanoes!—and the fear of never finding a safe place to grow up. As the mysterious voice gets louder, Louise comes to realise
their mission in life may be much bigger than either of them ever could have imagined! Brimming with humour, wonder,
mystery, and a profound sense of hope, Big Tree is a trailblazing adventure, illustrated with nearly 300-pages of breathtaking
pictures. It is Selznick’s most imaginative and far-reaching work to date and a singular reading experience for the whole family!
SALES POINTS:
• Selznick’s industry-changing trilogy, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Wonderstruck and The Marvels were major award-
winners and New York Times bestsellers, with the first two claiming the #1 spot.
• Filled with humour, adventure, and heart—reads like an instant classic!
• Vivid, enchanting storytelling and hundreds of pages of original art make Big Tree a visual feast for the whole family,
truly a book for all ages.
• Selznick is a true pioneer whose work has revolutionised bookmaking and the reading experience. Once again, he has
created a unique form in his most playful and ambitious work to date.
• Not since his Caldecott Honor Book, The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins, has Selznick delved into natural science,
presenting meticulously researched, complex scientific concepts with simplicity and inventive storytelling that will
appeal to a huge age range and wide audience. Big Tree is STEM candy!
• Selznick’s books are international bestsellers, treasured around the world, and appear in over 35 languages. BIG TREE

he begins to ask himself the ultimate question: What’s the price of fame after all? Big-hearted and

our most tender selves through friendship and creativity — and have quite a bit of fun in between!

Mars has always been the lesser twin, the shadow to his sister Caroline’s radiance. But when Caroline
dies under horrific circumstances, Mars is propelled to learn all he can about his once-inseparable
sister who’d grown tragically distant. Mars’s gender fluidity means he’s often excluded from the
traditions—and expectations—of his politically-connected family. This includes attendance at the
prestigious Aspen Conservancy Summer Academy where his sister poured so much of her time. But
with his grief still fresh, he insists on attending in her place. What Mars finds is a bucolic fairytale not
meant for him. Folksy charm and sun-drenched festivities camouflage old-fashioned gender roles
and a toxic preparatory rigour. Mars seeks out his sister’s old friends: a group of girls dubbed the
Honeys, named for the beehives they maintain behind their cabin. They are beautiful and terrifying—
and Mars is certain they’re connected to Caroline’s death. But the longer he stays at Aspen, the
more the sweet mountain breezes give way to hints of decay. Mars’s memories begin to falter,
bleached beneath the relentless summer sun. Something is hunting him in broad daylight, toying with
his mind. If Mars can’t find it soon, it will eat him alive.
SALES POINTS:
• Heathers meets Midsommar in this bougie summer camp nightmare. It’s YA horror unlike
anything out there.
• Dark in tone, but wrapped in a deceptively bright package, this is a story of corruption festering
just beneath the illusory perfection of the uber-rich and well-connected.
• The story also poignantly explores themes of grief and guilt. Mars’s experience with mourning
comes from a very personal place for Ryan.
• Ryan is something of a self-made star. He has a devoted online following and is an extremely
talented public speaker. He’s brimming with promotional ideas.
• There isn’t a ton of queer-focused horror out there right now, especially by queer authors.
Scholastic has an opportunity to lead the pack.

This is the story of Scotty the Scottish Terrier. It tells how he went to Gumnut Land and what befell him there ...
Scotty wasn’t very happy in his home in the Big Bad City. It was very dull sitting about for hours and hours, always
on the wrong side of the gate. Then on one fateful day, the gate was left open. This was Scotty’s chance! Out of the
garden he ran and into magical world of Gumnut Land. Scotty’s adventures take him all around the Australian Bush,
into the Valley of the Caves, the friendly hustle and bustle of Gumnut Town and beyond! Join Scotty on his journey
and meet a fantastical cast of creatures: Mr and Mrs Bear, Bib and Bub, Old Bill, the terrific Tiggy Touchwood and
Miffrend of Squeaking House.
