Templar publishes books that children love and that librarians and parents want to share with children. These are quality picture and novelty books which children treasure and want to read over and over again. From the amazing baby® range, to Maurice Pledger’s delightful Sounds of the Wild titles and, of course, the best-selling Ology series, which sees Vampirology just published – and look out for our tenth Ology title in autumn 2010. 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.

Reviews
...from two young fans, both reluctant readers:
'I love comics and 'A Roman Rescue' is like a really good comic. It's
very exciting and funny. I love how Bandit's always getting up to
mischief, but best of all, I think Charlie looks a bit like me.'
Marcus, age 9
"I think "A Roman Rescue" is very good. The pictures carry you
along and I couldn't stop reading it. It's really exciting and it made
me laugh. Bandit is just like my dog, Bart."
Conrad, age 9
