‘Animals in the Forest: The Day Terrible Things Came’ is a unique environmental tale, told from the point of view of forest animals. They know that humans do things they don’t always understand and like, but one day, the humans start something more destructive…
The book honours environmental activists, defenders and indigenous tribes and includes info and websites to research these issues further.
“A beautifully illustrated, environmentally themed animal story… This text is a pleasure to read due to the superb descriptive detail and wide ranging vocabulary, but also as it is delightfully written in ‘proper English’… ‘Animals in the Forest’ is a really lovely, thought-provoking addition to your child’s reading and English curriculum which I am sure all children will enjoy and be inspired by.” ~ Review in EducationOtherwise.org Newsletter, Spring 2018

‘Ilnoblet Elmer and the Alien Water Thieves‘ is a fun and educational science-fiction book, about an ordinary boy, Ilnoblet Elmer, who’s also an alien but no one knows!
He has lots of adventures trying to defeat tricky and sticky aliens who come to Earth to cause havoc.
Rated 4 out of 4 stars by OnlineBookClub.org: “’Ilnoblet Elmer and the Alien Water Thieves’ would be wonderful for ambitious readers between ages ten and fourteen. Younger readers might enjoy this with a parent. There’s plenty of action to keep kids interested, and alongside, there’s a fantastic message about fitting in. Newey captures the child’s mind so well… I love Newey’s use of letters and words in [Ilnoblet’s] confrontation with the Mootilokygogrifies. It’s such a unique take on the humans vs. extraterrestrials trope. You will find no lasers or photon torpedoes in this book. Instead, it’s the powers of order and creative knowledge that allow [Ilnoblet] to do battle.”
