The most important animal of all / written by Penny Worms ; illustrated by Hannah Bailey ; contributions by Alex Morss.

When a teacher challenges her class to decide what is the most important animal of all, seven children champion an animal for the top spot. Is it elephants or beavers who create habitats where other creatures can live and thrive? Is it tigers or sharks who are top predators, or bats who keep insect numbers down? Or is it tiny krill, a food source for many sea creatures? And, lastly, how about the small but mighty bees, master pollinators? Join the children to find out how special these creatures are in this very first introduction to keystone species and ecosystems.

Not that pet! / Smriti Halls, Rosalind Beardshaw.

Move, Mr Mountain! / Francesca Sanna.

Mr Mountain has seen it all - from the arrival of the very first plants and worms, to dinosaurs, mammals, and, more recently humans. Even when they climb all over him, Mr Mountain is very good at keeping calm and steady, and is determined to spend his long life resting his heavy arms and eyelids. Until one day, when he is disturbed from his slumber by a little voice asking him to 'Move, Mr Mountain!'. It seems his neighbour Lily is desperate for him to move out of the way so she can see what's on the other side of him. But of course a mountain cannot move, and at this Mr Mountain finally loses his temper! The wind picks up, snow starts to fall and the ground begins to rumble and shake but little Lily remains unfazed. Can they set aside their differences and find a way to get along?

When you see me / Lisa Gardner.

Serial kidnapper and torturer Jacob Ness is dead, but his darkest secret is waiting to be revealed. Kimberly Quincy of the FBI and Sgt Detective D.D. Warren are heading a task force dedicated to hunting down every trace of evil Ness left behind. A shocking discovery from a forgotten case turns their evidence on its head - and leads them to bring in Flora Dane, one of Ness's victims. The tantalising trail of breadcrumbs leads them to a small town in the Deep South. In the humid Georgian heat, the investigators sense that something here is deeply wrong. It's the kind of town where secrets writhe like worms under the surface. The kind of town where Ness's evil might have planted deep and sinister roots. The kind of town three women might never leave alive.

Where the hornbeam grows : a journey in search of a garden / Beth Lynch.

It wasn't long after Beth Lynch moved to Switzerland that she realised that the sheer will to connect with people would not guarantee a happy relocation. Out of place and lonely, Beth knows that she needs to get her hands dirty if she is to put down roots. And so she sets about making herself at home in the way she knows best - by tending a garden, growing things. The search for a garden takes her across the country, through meadows and on mountain paths where familiar garden plants run wild, to the rugged hills of the Swiss Jura. In this remote and unfamiliar place of glow worms and dormice and singing toads she learns to garden in a new way, taking her cue from the natural world. As she plants her paradise with hellebores and columbines, cornflowers and Japanese anemones, these cherished species forge green and deepening connections.

The garden jungle, or, Gardening to save the planet / Dave Goulson.

'The Garden Jungle' is about the wildlife that lives right under our noses, in our gardens and parks, between the gaps in the pavement, and in the soil beneath our feet. Wherever you are right now, the chances are that there are worms, woodlice, centipedes, flies, silverfish, wasps, beetles, mice, shrews and much, much more, quietly living within just a few paces of you. Dave Goulson gives us an insight into the fascinating and sometimes weird lives of these creatures, taking us burrowing into the compost heap, digging under the lawn and diving into the garden pond. He explains how our lives and ultimately the fate of humankind are inextricably intertwined with that of earwigs, bees, lacewings and hoverflies, unappreciated heroes of the natural world.

Real Life [electronic resource]

Wallace has spent his summer in the lab breeding a strain of microscopic worms. He is four years into a biochemistry degree at a lakeside Midwestern university, a life that’s a world away from his childhood in Alabama. His father died a few weeks ago, but Wallace didn’t go back for the funeral, and he hasn’t told his friends – Miller, Yngve, Cole and Emma. For reasons of self-preservation, he has become used to keeping a wary distance even from those closest to him. But, over the course of one blustery end-of-summer weekend, the destruction of his work and a series of intense confrontations force Wallace to grapple with both the trauma of the past, and the question of the future.Deftly zooming in and out of focus, Real Life is a deeply affecting story about the emotional cost of reckoning with desire, and overcoming pain.
