The O.D.D Squad 4:
Operation Hyperkitty
Illustrated by Vincent Batignole
​
Quack Attack, Detective Octopus and Invisidog have a new recruit: Hyperkitty. She’s cute! She’s unbelievably fast! She also . . . spends a lot of time on her phone? And actually, isn’t very good at being part of a team. Or catching bad guys. It’s almost like she doesn’t want to be part of the world’s best (kind of) superhero team.
Everyone needs time to learn to be a superhero, but disasters keep striking. After a particularly wonky incident involving a pig in a hat at a power station (don't ask, OK?), Justice City decides it’s had enough: no more O.D.D. Squad! Can the gang save the day – and themselves – before it’s too late?

The O.D.D Squad 3:
Captain Bad vs Captain Worse
Illustrated by Vincent Batignole
​
The O.D.D. Squad are here for another epic (or maybe just epically silly) ADVENTURE! Quack Attack, Detective Octopus and Invisidog are the most feared crime-fighters ever to roam Justice CIty. They're a bit of a strange gang, but by heck they get the job done. Most of the time.
Their old enemy Captain Bad is also BACK! He is determined to beat the O.D.D Squad once and for all and decides the best plan is to clone himself. What could possibly go wrong? Errm, maybe the whole plan? He accidentally creates Captain Worse, an even more evil version of himself. Now Captain Bad is forced to work with the O.D.D Squad to stop Captain Worse from carrying out his terrible plans to destroy, well, everything...

Rise of Aunty Enchanty
Illustrated by Vincent Batignole
​
The O.D.D. Squad are BACK! And this time, they're even more amazing (well, amazingly rubbish) than ever. Quack Attack, Detective Octopus and Invisidog are the most feared crime-fighters ever to roam Justice CIty. They're a bit of a strange gang, but by heck they get the job done. Most of the time. And only so long as the criminals they're facing are useless.
But unfortunately for them, their nemesis in this adventure really ISN'T useless. In fact, she's kind of an all-powerful sorceress, who goes by the name of Aunty Enchanty. And what's worse than an all-powerful sorceress? How about an all-powerful sorceress determined to wipe Justice City from the face of the Earth, using mega-monsters . . . One of which looks suspiciously familiar.
Can the gang unite to defeat Aunty Enchanty, or is this the end of the road for the O.D.D. Squad?
The O.D.D Squad 1:
Rise of Invisidog
Illustrated by Vincent Batignole
​
Justice City. Rain soaks its streets. Crime soaks it more. The fate of the entire city has been left in the hands (well, paws) of one brave superhero.
That's right - dun dun dunnnnnn - INVISIDOG!
Invisidog hunts for danger wherever he finds it. There is no job too big, and no criminal too tough for the mighty Invisidog. He is the shadows!! And actually, that's kind of the problem. Because Invisidog's amazing superpowers . . . are kind of rubbish.
Turns out being invisible isn't all that helpful when you're trying to rid a city of terrible criminals. They tend to have a habit of ignoring you for one thing. So Invisidog's going to have to think BIG. Can he convince the most amazing superheroes of all time - adorable-but-mighty Quack Attack, and the world's greatest thinker, Detective Octopus - to join forces?

Introducing brothers, Pancakes and Cha-Cha.
Pancakes and Cha-Cha are set for a perfect day of pizza and playing in the park... when they are surprised by a genie granting wishes!
What in the whole wide world will they wish for? Treasure or magical powers? Or a pizza the size of a paddling pool? Or maybe - just maybe - they'll be surprised by something unexpected.
Stuart Heritage and Nicola Slater, creators of the laugh-out-loud Jonathan the Magic Pony, are back with a warm-hearted, bedtime story about brotherly love, the art of compromise and an elephant covered in cheese.
Jonathan the Magic Pony
Illustrated by Nicola Slater
​
Jonathan the Magic Pony is a brilliant magician. With one wave of his magic wand he can make anything disappear. Boomf! And because he's such a brilliant magician, with one more wave he can make things come back too. It's foolproof. Failsafe. Always works.
Or does it?
When Jonathan magics away Sarah's bear... it doesn't come back! And with each, increasingly desperate, wave of his wand, Jonathan sets off an anarchic chain of events that builds to a swirl of hilarious chaos. There are sharks chasing ducks, baboons with giant wooden spoons, chimpanzees covered in fleas... but where is Sarah's bear? Will it ever come back? Is Jonathan even a real magician?!
Find out in this silly, playful and very, very funny picture book, perfect for fans of Supertato and Grumpycorn.

Bald
Nobody chooses to be bald. Nobody wants to look into the mirror and be confronted with an absence. Nobody gains any comfort from having a slightly better idea of what their skull looks like.
​
Stuart Heritage has been bald for two years. But before he accepted the inevitable, he spent a number of years ineptly trying to conceal this fact with an array of expensive treatments and terrible haircuts. Can a man go bald with dignity? Maybe. But can a man go bald with more dignity than Stuart Heritage? Oh good god yes, and this book is his attempt to make that happen for you.
Part-manual-part-tantrum, this is a self-deprecating, funny and genuinely helpful guide to being bald: what really happens, why it matters and how to feel much less crap about it.

Don't be a Dick, Pete
Stuart Heritage got where he is today by being decent, thoughtful, hardworking and kind. He is, in short, a model citizen. The favourite son.
His younger brother Pete is quick-tempered, peevish and aggressively pig-headed and, for a while, known to his friends as 'Shagger'.
But now, Stu has returned to his hometown to discover that Pete has taken his place.
Don’t Be A Dick, Pete is a hilarious examination of home and family; sons, fathers, fatherhood, sibling relationships and how hard it is to move on in a system that’s loaded with several decades of preconceived ideas about you.
