Templar has also launched a brand new fiction list featuring debut authors, Teresa Flavin with Blackhope Enigma and Stephanie Burgis with A Most Improper Magick for 9-10 year olds. Young teens should watch out for the extraordinary ‘The 10pm Question’ by New Zealand writer Kate de Goldi and the amazing World Shaker by Australian writer Richard Harland. Johnny O’Brien’s second Jack Christie adventure, Day of Deliverance is out in June. Ever popular Simon Bartram continues his lunar adventures with Bob and Barry – new titles this year include A Right Royal Disaster and The Heartless Robot. In 2009 look out for the second novel in the Dragonology Chronicles – The Dragon Diary by Dugald Steer: a debut novel by Johnny O’Brien – Day of the Assassins, and for the 5-8 year olds, The Lunar Adventures of Bob and Barry is a new series of early readers written by Simon Bartram.

Synopsis
Oceanology: The True Account of the Voyage of the Nautilus by Emily Hawkins and A. J. WoodOceanology purports to be the true account of the incredible voyage under the sea undertaken by a certain Captain Nemo in his submarine the Nautilus in 1863. This notebook was compiled by the ship's 16-year-old research assistant, Zoticus de Lesseps, and records his findings - from the wonders of the natural world to the undersea kingdom of Atlantis. The only member of the expedition to return alive, and forever haunted by the truth of his discoveries, he bequeathed this journal to a novelist named J Verne.
