This is Julius
Julius is an ordinary eight year old. All children in the 7-10 age groups can identify with him. What separates Julius from most other kids in his age is that deep down he is an incurable romantic.
Julius has realized he is in love with Linn. She is in his class, first grade at a school in Stockholm, Sweden, and he decides to ask her for a date. But it turns out to be much harder than he expected, partly because he doesn’t know how to say it, and partly because his best friend Isak constantly does things to stop him. But when Linn invites Julius to her birthday party the last weekend of summer break, and the rumour has it it will be dancing and then maybe some hugging, Julius decides to give it a try.
Julius is a special boy, and at the same time very ordinary. He lives by trial and error, and usually does his own thing. And everything he does, he does with charm and cleverness. His family consists of his mother Melek, who works at a nursing home and who exercises regularly to stay in shape, his father Bjorn, who is an author but spends most of his time thinking about the big philosophical questions in life, and his little sister Lydia, a wild two-year old with a passion for toothpaste.
This is Julius is the first book in this new success series, and it is set during the very last days of first grade before summer break.

The Magic World
What would you do if you found out magic is actually all around you?
These twelve magical short stories are all about magic and how it can be found in unlikely places. The atmosphere of each story is similar to the fantastic universe of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.
They all contain important lessons for children as well as adults. In "The Cat-hood of Maurice," the protagonist learns to see life through another perspective and appreciate beings who are different from him. In "Kenneth and the Carp," a boy turns into a fish in order to prove his innocence. The story called "The Aunt and Amabel" is said to have inspired C.S. Lewis’ famous Narnia-series because Amabel goes through a wardrobe and arrives in another world much like the Narnia children. A fairy-tale book like no other.
Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl, Lyman Frank Baum and Dianna Wynne Jones.
Born in Kennington in 1858, Edith Nesbit wrote and co-authored over 60 beloved adventures at the beginning of the 20th century. Among her most popular books are "The Story of the Treasure-Seekers" (1899), "The Phoenix and the Carpet" (1904), and "The Railway Children" (1906). Many of her works became adapted to musicals, movies, and TV shows. Along with her husband Hubert Bland, she was among the first members of the Fabian society - a socialist debating club. A path in London close to her home was named "Railway Children Walk" in her honor, manifesting her legacy as one of the pioneers within the children’s fantasy genre.

From the Wizarding Archive : Curated Writing from the World of Harry Potter
If you've ever wondered why Squibs are never offered a place at Hogwarts, what happened when Vernon Dursley first met James Potter, or how Dumbledore and McGonagall formed their lifelong friendship, From the Wizarding Archive should go straight to the top of your reading list. Containing 80 articles and anecdotes written by J.K. Rowling for the original Pottermore website, Harry PotterTM fans everywhere are in for a treat.
If there's one thing Harry Potter fans have in common (apart from impeccably good taste), it's questions... so many questions. From the simple details that perplex us all - was Professor Umbridge always that awful? Why don't wizards just use phones? - to the personal details that bring us closer to J.K. Rowling's writing process - from her least favourite school subject and its impact on Professor Snape's career, to the personal significance of King's Cross and why it's always where the Hogwarts Express departs - this is a veritable treasure trove of answers.
With editorial writing linking and exploring the articles in greater depth than ever before, plus an exclusive foreword by Evanna Lynch, this is essential reading for any Harry Potter afficionado.
These articles were originally featured on pottermore.com and are still free, and available to read in English, on the official Harry Potter website.
Pottermore Limited will be donating author royalties to the Lumos Foundation on behalf of J.K. Rowling, expected to be equivalent to a minimum of £1 (or the local currency equivalent) for each copy of From the Wizarding Archive sold.
