BOOK 3: Bongi Ballerina Takes a Leap
AVAILABLE FEBRUARY 2027
Bongi is happier than ever dancing at Miss Michelle's ballet school with her ballet buddies. But when new boy Alex joins their class, everyone is instantly taken with his fancy dance moves and impressive stories – that is, everyone except Bongi. She's the only one who notices his strange and secretive behaviour. Behaviour that Bongi knows could only mean one thing: Alex is secretly a space alien!
Bongi becomes determined to unmask Alex, but when a disaster threatens the future of the ballet school, Bongi, Alex and the rest of the ballet class must all work together to help Miss Michelle raise the funds to repair the studio.
Is there room for both Bongi and a space alien like Alex among the ballet buddies? And can they save the ballet school before it's too late? Read Bongi's third adventure to find out!
Perfect for readers aged 7+

Bookworm: A person who loves books and reading.
For bookworm Talia, the school library is both her favourite place and her refuge from bullies. That is, until the new librarian Ms Crumb arrives.
Ms Crumb is, without a doubt, the worst librarian in the world: she wipes her dirty hands on books and writes shopping lists in them, tears out pages to use as cage lining for her hamster Bingo, and – worst of all – she doesn’t even seem to like books or stories. Horrified at Ms Crumb’s dreadful treatment of the library books, Talia is determined to save them, so she teams up with fellow outcasts Mario and Zahraa, and the trio devise a grand plan to rescue the library books: a top-secret storybook heist!
Perfect for readers aged 9+
