	Children’s fiction Revenge of the Green Genie (Scholastic Australia) When Josie buys a curious old bottle at the local op-shop she gets more than she bargains for – the bottle contains a ‘green’ genie whose magic causes one disaster after another. But someone else becomes the target of Genie’s prickly temper and he’d better watch out! This fast-paced and funny book will delight younger readers with its humorous plot, weaving magic and lively characters. Mr Venus, Computer Wizard (Scholastic Australia) Jen discovers Mr Venus and his computer shop on a trip to the supermarket and quickly becomes friends with him. But there is something odd about Mr Venus. His mouse is named Click, he keeps a tabby cat in the window, and Jen is positive that the vacuum cleaner moves by itself. There is much more to this computer expert than meets the eye… This magical, humorous tale is packed full of talking animals, magical machines and sinister characters that will keep young readers spellbound. Ghost Granny (Lothian) When Granny dies, Anna and the rest of her family breathe a sigh of relief. She was a difficult old woman and not at all easy to live with. ‘Mad as a cut snake’, Dad called her. Anna’s family think they can now start to live peaceful lives...then the transparent form of what is unmistakably Granny appears at the dinner table… Granny’s back, and she’s as cranky as ever! This irreverent, lively book with its action-packed plot and other-worldly characters is guaranteed to engage young readers right up to the exciting climax.
