Quem Tem Medo da Luz?
Anna McGregor
Fergus vive nas profundezas do mar mais profundo e escuro e só tem medo de uma coisa... a luz! Uma narrativa de não ficção original e divertida da premiada Anna McGregor.
Seamlessly combining humor, narrative, and nonfiction, McGregor introduces young readers to the wonders of the ocean’s ‘midnight zone’, where no sunlight at all is able to penetrate.
We meet Fergus as he hides from a parade of sea creatures that use bioluminescence to find their way in the dark. At least, we think he is hiding … or is it something else entirely?
O crânio
Jon Klassen
In a big abandoned house, on a barren hill, lives a skull. A brave girl named Otilla has escaped from terrible danger and run away, and when she finds herself lost in the dark forest, the lonely house beckons.
Her host, the skull, is afraid of something too, something that comes every night. Can brave Otilla save them both?
Cheio de sombras e permeado por uma sagacidade sutil — com uma arte rica e monocromática e uma nota esclarecedora do autor — The Skull é tão empoderador quanto misterioso e agourento.
A Besta e a Betânia
Jack Meggitt-Phillips
Ebenezer Tweezer is a youthful 511-year-old. He keeps a beast in the attic of his mansion, who he feeds all manner of things (including performing monkeys, his pet cat and the occasional cactus) and in return the beast vomits out presents for Ebenezer, as well as potions which keep him young and beautiful.
But the beast grows ever greedier, and soon only a nice, juicy child will do. So when Ebenezer encounters orphan Bethany, it seems like (everlasting) life will go on as normal. But Bethany is not your average orphan.
Mallory Vayle e a Maldição do Crânio de Maggoty
Martin Howard
Mallory Vayle can see dead people and mostly tries to IGNORE them. But when her parents are ghost-napped, she is forced to team up with a talkative skull to get them back.
Maggoty Skull promises to teach her the dark skills she needs, but only if she gets him a magnificent wig and promises to break the curse he has been placed under.
Can the unlikely pair vanquish an evil spirit, free Mallory’s parents and even become friends? Maybe, but only if Maggoty stops calling Mallory ‘bumcrack’.

Lago da Cratera
Jennifer Killick
It could be the mysterious bloodstained man who tries to stop their coach, or the fact no one seems to be around at the brand-new activity centre when Lance and the rest of his class arrive for the Year 6 school trip, but something is definitely not right at Crater Lake!
What follows is a fight for survival that sees five pupils band together to save their classmates from an alien fate far worse that death. But whatever happens, they must Never, Ever fall asleep!
As Bruxas
Roald Dahl
One child a week is 52 a year. Squish them and squiggle them and make them disappear. Beware! There are witches everywhere. Witches could be a cashier in a supermarket, a woman driving a fancy car, or even your own teacher.
The only thing a witch cares about is squelching children. She hunts and squelches as many children as she possibly can. At least one a week. The Grand High Witch hates children most of all and plans to make every single one disappear.
Só um menino e sua avó podem detê-la. Mas se o plano deles falhar, a Grande Bruxa Alta vai frisá-los como bolinhos, e então o que acontecerá?
O Clackity
Lora Senf
Evie Von Rathe lives in Blight Harbor – the seventh-most haunted town in America – with her Aunt Desdemona, the local paranormal expert. Des doesn’t have many rules except one: Stay out of the abandoned slaughterhouse at the edge of town.
But when her aunt disappears into the building, Evie goes searching for her. There she meets The Clackity, a creature who lives in the shadows and seams of the slaughterhouse. The Clackity makes a deal with Evie to help get Des back in exchange for the ghost of John Jeffrey Pope, a serial killer who stalked Blight Harbor a hundred years earlier.
Evie reluctantly embarks on a journey into a strange otherworld filled with hungry witches, penny-eyed ghosts, and a memory-thief, all while being pursued by a dead man whose only goal is to add Evie to his collection of lost souls.
