Black Cats and Butler's by Janine Beacham
When Rose Raventhorpe's beloved butler is found (gasp!) murdered in the hallway of her own house, she's determined to uncover the culprit. Especially since he's the third butler to die in a week!
Rose's investigation leads her on a journey into a hidden world of grave robbers and duelling butlers, flamboyant magicians and the city's ancient feline guardians.
Knives aren't just for cutting cucumber sandwiches, you know . . .
The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart by Stephanie Burgis
Aventurine is the fiercest, bravest kind of dragon, and she's ready to prove it to her family by leaving the safety of their mountain cave and capturing the most dangerous prey of all: a human.
But when the human she captures tricks her into drinking enchanted hot chocolate, she finds herself transformed into a puny human girl with tiny blunt teeth, no fire, and not one single claw. She's still the fiercest creature in these mountains though - and now she's found her true passion: chocolate! All she has to do is walk on two feet to the human city, find herself an apprenticeship (whatever that is) in a chocolate house (which sounds delicious), and she'll be conquering new territory in no time . won't she?
In the Stars by Echo Freer
Jaz and Dex are 16 and in love. They're the town's hottest couple. But there's a problem: Jaz's parents have forbidden her to see boys. They keep their love secret until one day Jaz doesn't feel well. Her dad sees them together and tells Dex he'll kill him if he tries to meet Jaz again. As jazz's illness gets worse, Dex is desperate to see her because he knows she's the only girl he'll ever truly love. He just hopes he can win over her parents in time to help her through her illness.
