Welcome to Florence, 1517, a world of intrigue and opulence, murder and
betrayal.
Sharp-witted conwoman Rosa Cellini arrives in the city the same day
that the Medici Pope, Leo X, returns to take up the reins of power.
This is not a coincidence. The new Pope is extorting a mountain of
indulgence money from the people of Florence to bolster his power and
standing, and Rosa has a plan to take it back.
To pull off the Renaissance's greatest robbery, she'll recruit a team
of highly skilled misfits: Sarra the tinkerer, Khalid the fighter, and
Giacomo, the irrepressible master of disguise. But as the authorities
draw closer and the Medici's noose pulls tighter around the land, old
secrets resurface and tensions in the group start to flare. What began
as a robbery could be the key to saving the city itself - if Rosa and
company don't destroy each other first.
Get ready for an absolute swashbuckling riot, beginning with a 'mud'
pie to the Pope's face, and ending with a climactic heist that would
give Danny Ocean a run for his money. Bursting with action, Medici
Heist is your next un-put-downable obsession.
Based on the hit Netflix series, join Hilda and Twig for more
hilarious adventures in the illustrated fiction series. We rejoin
our favourite blue-haired heroine Hilda to find her caught up in a
crisis in Trolberg. Ships are vanishing from the harbour and no one
knows why. Could the answer lie out on Cauldron Island? Meanwhile,
David suspects wild weather predictor Victoria Van Gale is up to no
good as she moves into the old windmill. There is no shortage of
unexpected twists, turns and new friends in this latest instalment
of the Hilda fiction series.
Alex’s grandpa has grey hair and false teeth and he loves watching travel shows on television. But then he suddenly develops an interest in … BRAIIINNNSSS!
Grandpa is turning into a zombie and if Alex wants to rescue him before the Zombie Squad shows up, he’ll need to come up with a plan (and heaps of broccoli). Their travels to find a cure takes them across Africa – from Zambia to Egypt – and along the way they meet a range of interesting and wonderful characters.
Top selling children’s books author Jacobs uses his characteristic combination of humour and the compassionate portrayal of relationships between family and friends to create yet another bestseller in the making.
For fans of Natalie Haynes, Kiran Millwood-Hargrave and Neil Gaiman
comes Frances Hardinge's spectacular new novel Unraveller. Called
her 'best yet' by the Guardian, and 'sheer perfection' and 'a
masterpiece' by reviewers, Hardinge expertly weaves together
mythology and mystery in a meticulously-detailed world besieged by
curses. If you must travel to the country of Raddith, then be
prepared. Bring a mosquito net for the lowlands, and a warm coat
for the hills or mountains. If you mean to visit the misty
marsh-woods known as the Wilds, you will need stout, waterproof
boots. (You will also needs wits, courage and luck, but some things
cannot be packed.) You have of course heard that some people in
Raddith are able to curse their enemies. It sounded so picturesque
when you were reading about it at home, like a fairytale. Perhaps
you will decide that all the stories of the Wilds and the Raddith
cursers were invented to entertain tourists. And at night, when you
see a many-legged shape scuttle across the ceiling of your
bedchamber, you will tell yourself that it is a spider, and only a
spider . . . . . . It is not. In a world where anyone can create
life-destroying curses, only one person has the power to unravel
them. Kellen does not fully understand his talent, but uses it to
help those who have been cursed, including his ally and closest
friend, Nettle. But Kellen himself is cursed, and unless he and
Nettle can release him, he is in danger of unravelling everything -
and everyone - around him. ----- 'Exquisite . . . sheer
perfection'- Liz Hyder 'Brilliant' - The Guardian 'A gloriously
creepy, intricate masterpiece' - Adrian Tchaikovsky 'Dark and
delicious' - Katherine Rundell 'Spellbinding' - Katherine Woodfine
'Instantly engrossing, effortlessly clever, and completely magical'
- Freya Marske 'Mesmerising' - Hilary McKay 'Everyone should read
Frances Hardinge. Everyone. Right now.' - Patrick Ness
