The Maple Street Series

The Maple Street chapter book series are a collection of highly illustrated, early reader books that are centred around Jake, who is a middle child with a bossy older sister called Ellie and a cute younger brother called Sam.

Each book has four delightful stories that capture the fun and lively shenanigans of Jake and his family's home and school life, full of relatable tales of mischief and kindness, in equal measure.

Jake's family is Black British and mixed heritage and his absolute favourite part of home life is that his beloved Grandad lives in the basement flat and always turns up when needed!

The 'Don't Mess with...' Series

The 'Don't Mess with ...' books are a two book series that encourage the exact opposite of 'Don't'.

They are filled with rule-breaking, fun activities that celebrate the wild side of both Maths and Science! 

For instance, conducting magic with magnets and dice, decoding alien messages, finding fossils, looping loops and working out impossible routes are just some of the 'thinking outside the box' exercises that are included in their pages.

These books are full of nifty tips and tricks that are so awesome, children will be learning about these subjects without even realising!
