It's the first day of a new school for Sam and Sara. So of course they're both hoping to fit in quickly. All they want is a helping hand - some new friends to keep an eye out for them and help them get ahead. What they're probably not hoping for is Thumb. Actually, a lot of thumbs. And fingers. They're turning up all over Freakham High in seriously unexpected places. But why?

Something strange is going on at Freekham High. Ginger Mutton was always the quiet, unpopular one. Now everybody wants to hear what she has to say - because she's started to predict the future. With a SOCK. And SOCKingly enough, her predictions are coming true - just not always to the right people! It SEAMS to be another DARNED Freekham mystery. Can Sara and Sam get to the bottom of it before people start getting hurt?

In these delightfully humorous tales of a decidedly blackish hue, 10 follysome toads can never change their beastly habits despite the efforts of goodly witch Madame Rana, who reminds them it's never too late to change. The Toad with Square Eyes develops mutant thumbs and fingers and finds himself on the other side of the screen; Cherry Oddfellow, the Dirty Little Toad, is part girl, part mudslide; and Jeremiah Bratson, the Spoiled Little Toad, finds himself face-to-face with a perfect robot replica.

Gayla is trapped when floodwater pours into her bedroom in a residential centre for kids with disabilities. The other children have been evacuated while Gayla waited for her father, but now the streets around are cut off and she’s all alone with no way out. Junjun’s makeshift shack has been washed away in the flood and he needs to find medicine for his sister, who’s sick after drinking contaminated water. At first these two young people seem to have little in common and pity each other, but as the waters continue to rise, can they find a way to work together to survive?

Theo lives and works in Agbogbloshie in Ghana, a vast dumping ground for the world’s broken electronics. He spends his days scouring the trash for scraps of metal to sell for cash, while dreaming of going to school and escaping this harsh life. The money Theo makes is barely enough to pay for lessons, so when Emmanuel turns up with talk of buried treasure, Theo sees a chance to get out of Trashland. But Emmanuel’s presence draws the attention of a local gang, and Theo starts to wonder if his new friend is keeping dangerous secrets.

When Danny's best friend Jamila goes missing, and no one remembers she exists, Danny knows the alien Swarm are back on Earth. They've tracked the digital energy signals Jamila has been unintentionally transmitting. Her alien-enhanced DNA can be used to clone super-strong beings with super-powers, and now it's not just the Swarm who are after her. Danny needs to find Jamila—and a new version of Adi, the friendly Swarm scout—and together they must stop both humans and aliens from destroying the human race.
