The Secret of Black Rock 

Joe Todd-Stanton  

Waterstones Says

Erin loves to lie on the jetty, looking for the weirdest fish in the sea - the weirder, the better! And she knows the best ones must be further out, where her mum won't let her go ...

Out there in the deepest sea lies the Black Rock: a huge, dark and spiky mass that is said to destroy any boats that come near it! 

Can Erin uncover the truth behind this mysterious legend?

‘Channelling Tove Jansson, Tintin and Japanese anime studio Studio Ghibli, the book’s enchanting, richly coloured illustrations had details to savour in every frame… a young artist to watch’ – The Guardian

 

Drawn Across Borders: True Stories of Migration

George Butler

Waterstones Says

A collection of vivid and powerful stories drawn on the front lines of migration by award-winning artist George Butler.


For thousands of years humans have moved around the world, to seek a better life, to flee disaster or to escape war. Migration is a fact of life - and one of the most pressing issues of our time.

In striking and intimate illustrations, award-winning artist George Butler introduces us to the people behind the headlines.

Drawings made on front lines, in refugee camps and on the move vividly capture stories of leaving home, travelling into the unknown and trying to make a new life. These powerful portraits of migration are a timely reminder of the humanity we all share and our universal need to seek safety and a better life.

A stunning, illuminating and sensitive look at stories that deserve to be told.
