Cover of Princess Swashbuckle. A bluey pink sky with pink and green castle turrets at the bottom. There are several penant flags waving, as well as bunting tied across the poles. Above that is a green orincess in a pink dress, flying on a rope from one flag pole into the air. She's wearing a black pointy hat. The title of the book is in the flag on the top of the flagpole she's flying from.Princess Swashbuckle – Hollie Hughes, illus Deborah Allwright

Tired of the same old princess-meets-her-prince stories? Bored of princesses in frilly pink dresses? Fed up with princes getting all the action? Yes? So is Princess Swashbuckle. She’s Swashbuckle by name, swashbuckling by nature and she’s about to show the world what a great pirate captain she can be. Charmingly breaking the mould, Princess Swashbuckle is a rollicking tale of adventure and finding your own happy.

Cover of I'm a Girl! A white background, with a blue rabbit-type girl in the middle front. She's wearing red shorts and playing a guitar, and is excited and having fun. The title of the book is above her head in scruffy handwriting, in red. There are several flowers of different colours and types in the foregroundI’m a Girl! – Yasmeen Ismail

I’m supposed to be made of sugar and spice
and all things nice.
But I’m sweet and sour
and not a little flower.

I am a girl! I am a girl! I am a girl!

The girl in this book likes to win, she likes to be spontaneous, fast and strong – and because she also likes to dress in shirt and shorts, she is forever getting mistaken for a boy. When she meets a boy who likes wearing princess dresses and playing dolls, they both quickly discover that they share lots of interests – and that there’s nothing better than being yourself!
