A book following the characters of beloved TV show Bluey also appears on our bestsellers list this week. Bluey: The Beach is a lift-the-flap board book, and you can find other brand-new Bluey themed titles here.

YA readers are snapping up copies of Garth Nix’s Angel Mage (which our Teen Advisory Board recently read and loved) and the second book in Philip Pullman’s Book of Dust trilogy. The first episode of the TV adaption of Pullman’s His Dark Materials airs this week so now is the perfect time to discover, or rediscover, the world of Lyra, Will and Malcolm.
