⭐Jamaal Target⭐
✍️🏽 @isaac.hamilmck
🎨 Cover illustration - Brittany Jackson

There’s nothing special about Jamaal Target. He’s your average twelve-year-old boy who lives with his foster mum and likes to game with his best friend Myla. Until one day, everything changes . . .

When Myla is kidnapped in front of his eyes, Jamaal is pulled into a web of secrets and lies and the shadowy organisation known as PHANTOM. There he learns that he has inherited super strength, speed and heightened senses from the parents he never knew.

Forced to quickly put his new skills to the test, Jamaal finds himself on high-stakes missions across London, alongside teen PHANTOM Agent Lori Johnson. But does he have what it takes to save his best friend and put the bad guys away?

⭐A Nine Night for Noxxy⭐
✍️🏽 Mercedes Deacon
🎨 @sayadaramdial

I didn’t want Noxxy to stay as a ghost forever! Her spirit needed to pass over peacefully, so we had to have a nine night for Noxxy.
Noxxy was the best cat Janae could ask for. She was playful, caring and had the softest fur ever!
When Noxxy passes away, Janae doesn't know how to be without her and nothing will make her feel better.

However, after a big, warm hug from Granny and a story about a traditional Jamaican nine night to remember the deceased and help their spirits move on, an idea starts to form . . .

With help from family and friends, Janae is determined to put on the best nine night for Noxxy ever!

But will the nine night make it easier for Janae be able to say goodbye to Noxxy?

📚 NEW IN STOCK! 📚

Let Dem Know — a vibrant celebration of the iconic poetry of Benjamin Zephaniah, with a foreword by @georgethepoet

Available to order online - www.rubysreads.co.uk

⭐Let Dem Know⭐
✍️🏽 @officialbenjaminzephaniah
🎨 Jodi Hunt

Musical, plain-spoken, playful and powerful, Benjamin Zephaniah’s poetry has been lighting up British cultural life since the early 1980s. Written to be performed, his funny, serious poems sing with a rare energy, with subjects ranging from racism, pollution and revolution to the lottery, vegetables and his cat, Danny.

This new collection brings together Zephaniah’s three Puffin Poetry books, from his first volume of children’s poetry,Talking Turkeys, toFunky ChickensandWicked Worldwith a previously unpublished poem and a new foreword by the poet and spoken-word artist George the Poet.

Full of wisdom and laughter, Benjamin Zephaniah’s poetry is a tonic for our times – a celebration of people, culture and love that will entice readers young and old, whether they’re well versed in poetry or new to the form.
