Hubert Horatio Bartle Bobton-Trent is back in this hilarious and gloriously illustrated book for ages six and up from the superstar creator of Clarice Bean and Charlie and Lola, Lauren Child.

Hubert Horatio is a child genius. He is also a millionaire. Hubert's parents on the other hand aren't too clever - particularly when it comes to money - and they are quickly frittering away the family fortune. It's up to Hubert and his best friend Stanton Harcourt to do something about it. And quick.

When someone steals the winner's trophy for the school book project, Clarice emulates her favorite book heroine, Ruby Redfort the detective.

12-year old Nathaniel is a slave, sent to England. Life in London is tough and Nat seizes the first opportunity to escape. He hears the story of The Zong, a ship where the crew murdered 133 slaves. Will the world continue to turn a blind eye to the horrors of slavery? And can Nat really evade his masters forever?

A girl describes the hectic life she leads among the members of her large family, and her search for a little peace and quiet.

In the follow-up to I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato, Charlie helps Lola get ready for bed, despite the tigers, whales, and other animals that serve as obstacles.
