The Weight Keeper
£9.99
"Some weights aren't yours to carry."
Maya carries something invisible.
It sits on her shoulders every single day — at school, at home, in the spaces between. No one can see it, but she feels every gram.
When a story about a person and their backpack lands in her lap, something shifts. For the first time, Maya has words for the thing she's been carrying and a reason to believe she doesn't have to carry it alone. Raw, real, and full of hope, The Weight Keeper is for every teenager who has ever felt too much and said too little.
For readers aged 12+ and the adults who walk beside them.
There are also downloads, a workbook and resources to accompany this book for bith adults and young people
Louder than thr Lesson
£9.99
What if the loudest thing in the room isn't the teacher?
Reuben can't sit still. He can't stop fidgeting. He can't focus on the lesson when his brain is firing in fifteen directions at once. Everyone sees the behaviour. Nobody sees the boy underneath. When a diagnosis finally puts a name to the noise inside his head, Reuben discovers that understanding yourself is the bravest thing you can do. But telling people? That takes a different kind of courage.
A story about ADHD, friendship, football, and finding out that the kid everyone calls 'too much' might just be exactly enough.Some stories end with everything fixed. This one ends with something better: understanding.
The Storm Within
£9.99
"She wasn't broken. She was anxious."
Zoe used to be the girl who laughed loudest, ran fastest, and never met a worry she couldn't outrun. Then secondary school arrived. And with it came a voice, quiet at first, then deafening, that told her everything was dangerous, everyone was watching, and nothing would ever feel safe again.
The Storm Within follows twelve-year-old Zoe as anxiety takes hold. But it also follows the people around her. Her best friend, her mum and the teacher who finally sees through the mask.
This is a story about what anxiety really looks like from the inside and about what happens when someone is brave enough to say, ‘I see you. I'm here. You're not alone.”
The Glitch
£9.99
Not defective. Just different.
Freya is fifteen, sharp, creative, and full of stories.
But it wasn't always like this.
At ten, she couldn't read a sentence without the letters swimming. At eleven, she sat in silence while everyone else finished the test. At twelve, she stopped going to school altogether.
No one could tell her what was wrong. Not her teachers. Not her parents. Not even herself.
Until someone finally did.
The Glitch is the story of a girl who thought her brain was disconnected and the people who helped her see it was just wired differently.
A great book to explain Dyslexia or other differences, and to promote confidence an belief in who you are despite what others may say.
The Limestone Pathway
£9.99
​Jack needs lines. Alice needs loops. Chloe needs a bridge.
Sixteen-year-old Jack is autistic and sees the world through numbers, structure and precise geometric grids. Alice’s ADHD mind is fast, creative and constantly in motion. Chloe, their fiercely loyal friend, has a talent for bringing people together. When their local youth club faces a funding crisis, the three are given a neglected patch of land opposite the community centre. What looks like a boring chore becomes something much bigger: Jack sees a blueprint, Alice sees possibilities, and Chloe sees a way to connect teenagers with the older people in their community.​
The Limestone Path is a moving and uplifting story about neurodiversity, friendship, community and belonging — and discovering that sometimes you don’t need to change who you are. You change the landscape.
Holding on to Yesterday £9.99
What if the scariest thing isn't what's coming next it's letting go of what came before?
Josie doesn't do change. She likes the same seat on the bus, the same route to school, the same friends at the same table. She likes knowing what's coming. She likes yesterday, because yesterday was safe, and yesterday made sense. But Year 10 isn't interested in staying the same. There's a new form room, a new timetable, and a best friend who's suddenly into things Josie doesn't understand. The ground is shifting and nobody else seems to notice or care. When Josie starts holding on tighter and tighter to the way things were, she has to face the one question she's been avoiding. What if yesterday isn't coming back?
