Children’s and teens’ roundup – the best new picture books and novels
A celebration of family; a guide to animal languages; Stonehenge spells; classroom crises; and dreams of becoming an alchemist
Hello hello! Here are some glorious October books for children and teenagers, featuring dogs, Death, pink-cheeked vampires, hummingbird drones, family secrets and coming to terms with painful change. The quality of writing for kids is SO HIGH at present - winnowing the post is almost impossible!

I write picture books for Nosy Crow! My first one is about a penguin who escapes the zoo in search of a decent curry, and I’ve read it in so many schools now that I’m starting to believe it actually happened #UKkidlit
