Who’s that singing on the savanna? It’s the top-five ugly
animals in Africa! The wildebeest, warthog, vulture, hyena and
marabou stork swagger proudly across the savanna, rejoicing
in their ugliness–and delighting their babies, who think they’re
perfect just the way they are. Inspired by the real-life Ugly Five
safari animals, Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s brand-new
picture book is a jubilant celebration of animals who are often
rather unloved. The funny, heart-warming rhyme is a joy to
read aloud, while bold, comical illustrations bring the savanna
spectacularly to life.
Sales Points:
• A gloriously funny celebration of five of the most
overlooked and unloved creatures on earth.
• Inspired by Julia Donaldson’s recent South-African safari,
where she discovered the real-life Ugly Five animals.
• Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s books have been
translated into over 20 languages.

Here is a thing everyone wants: A miracle. Here is a thing everyone fears: What it takes to get one. Any visitor to
Bicho Raro, Colorado, is likely to find a landscape of dark saints, forbidden love, scientific dreams, miracle-mad
owls, estranged affections, one or two orphans and a sky full of watchful desert stars. At the heart of this place
you will find the Soria family, who all have the ability to perform unusual miracles. And at the heart of this family
are three cousins longing to change its future: Beatriz, the girl without feelings, who wants only to be free to
examine her thoughts; Daniel, the Saint of Bicho Raro, who performs miracles for everyone but himself; and
Joaquin, who spends his nights running a renegade radio station under the name Diablo Diablo. They are all
looking for a miracle. But the miracles of Bicho Raro are never quite what you expect.

Our country has turned its back on inclusion: the descendants of immigrants have been denied status and
security and must sell their children to a travelling circus—to perform at the mercy of ravenous lions, sabotaged
high wires and a demonic ringmaster. The ruling class—the Pures—visit the circus as an escape from their
structured, safe, high-achieving lives to experience pure entertainment with a brutal, bloodthirsty edge.
Ben, the teenage son of a draconian government minister, attends on opening night and falls under the spell
of Hoshiko, a tightrope walker and the star attraction. But as he steps beyond the sparkle and spectacle of
the circus, to reveal the horrors that lurk beneath, can he find the courage to resist, to rebel, to help end the
cruelty and the carnage?
