W.A.R.P. (Witness Anonymous Relocation Programme) is Eoin Colfer’s new series. The Reluctant Assassin is the first book in the series and is released later this month by Penguin Books NZ. It sounds like it’s going to be a great series and perfect for fans of his Artemis Fowl series.

The 5th Wave book trailer
There has certainly been a lot of hype around The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey. The teasers haven’t mentioned very much about what the story is about but it sounds intriguing.
The 5th Wave is due out in May from Penguin Books NZ.

Ned Vizzini and Chris Colombus discuss House of Secrets
House of Secrets by Chris Colombus and Ned Vizzini is released in May by HarperCollins NZ. Chris Colombus is the creator of some of my favourite kids movies, including Goonies, Home Alone and Mrs Doubtfire, so I’m really looking forward to reading his first children’s book. The idea of the story sounds really interesting so I’ve got my fingers crossed that it will be great!

Official US book trailer for Michael Grant’s Light
This US book trailer for Michael Grant’s Light is quite different from the UK version but I think it’s great. Light is one of my Easter reads and it’s fantastic but very nerve-wracking. Light is the final book in Michael Grant’s Gone series and it’s available in NZ and Australia now.

Michael Grant’s Light Book Trailer
Light is one of my most anticipated books of 2013. It spells the end of Michael Grant’s brilliant Gone series. I have a copy sitting on my coffee table staring at me but I’m waiting until I can give it my full attention. When I start I know I won’t want to stop until I’ve reached the end.
Light is due to be released on 1 April (just in time for Easter weekend!) and I know there will be plenty of Michael’s fans itching to find out what cruel punishment he doles out to the residents of Perdido Beach in this final book.

It’s Not a Monster, It’s Me by Raymond McGrath
I love this video so much that I have to share it with everyone! Raymond McGrath made it (with the help of his very talented friends) to promote his picture book, It’s Not a Monster, It’s Me! published by Penguin New Zealand. I’ve seen this book in the library and not even realised it was created by a New Zealand author/illustrator.
Check out It’s Not a Monster, It’s Me! by Raymond McGrath in your library or bookshop now. It’s a great book to read and share for New Zealand Book Month.
