Our top kids & YA bestseller this week (by an absolute country mile) was Yumi Stynes and Dr. Melissa Kang’s fantastic new guide to consent and respectful relationships for kids, Welcome to Consent.

Following this essential guide, we have some real stalwarts of our bestsellers list: Nova Weetman and Emily Gale’s funny and heartfelt time-slip swimming tale, the seventh Real Pigeons book, Sally Rippin’s new monstery series, a wonderful Melbourne-set historical adventure, and a gently wondrous picture book from Jane Godwin and Anna Walker.

Interesting new entries this week include the hilarious and sweet graphic Pawcasso by Remy Lai (Fly On the Wall, Pie in the Sky), and the second book in Leigh Bardugo’s Shadow and Bone trilogy - inspired no doubt by the current Netflix screen adaptation.
