Book Review

Your Next Read Silver: The Missing Pencil Case
by Jasmin McGaughey, Jade Goodwin (illus.)

by Tamuz Ellazam, Feb 2026

Lea is proud to have raised money selling chocolates, but disaster strikes when her pencil case goes missing, full of all her hard-earned fundraising dollars! What follows is a fun and adventurous tale of community, honesty, and looking after your things – the second book in the new series for 5–8-year-olds Your Next Read: Silver, brought to you by Affirm Kids and Your Kid’s Next Read. The series encourages young readers to develop a regular practice of reading by providing fun, approachable, and engaging titles by some of Australia’s best authors and illustrators.

The Missing Pencil Case features a diverse cast – Lea’s family and friends – who help her search and share their own past (and present!) struggles with misplacing important things. Whether read together or solo, chapter by chapter or all in one go, this fantastic new series is all about building great habits and a love of reading, while enjoying a sweet story from prolific duo Jasmin McGaughey and Jade Goodwin.
