This magical story follows three children living in a tower block,
as they embark on a fantastical adventure which helps them see
their home in a new light. A deeply personal story written by
multi-award winning poet and Waterstones Children's Laureate Joseph
Coelho, drawn from his own experience growing up in a tower block
and looking for adventure. This story is a celebration of, and a
reclaiming of tower blocks as a place where magic and adventure can
happen. It's a modern-day fable that shows the children of a tower
block travelling to a strange, magical world inside a tree and
meeting an old man with supernatural powers, only to realise that
the magic they'd been looking for had been in their tower all
along. Beautiful illustrations complement the poetic narrative,
creating an enchanting story which children and adults alike will
fall in love with. This powerful story is about how society
separates 'urban' spaces from the countryside, but the reality is
that nature is everywhere, and everyone should have access to it.
In this third book in the series, Harley goes on a time-twisting
adventure! On a school trip to the Inventia Jurassic Coast, Harley
finds an unusual fossil. Has she discovered an entirely new species
of dinosaur? Her class nemesis, Fenelda, doesn't believe it, so
Harley decides to build a time machine to prove the discovery and
win the 'best invention' competition. But messing around with time
can have unexpected, dinosaur-size effects... Vashti Hardy's
immersive world building, cool science and tech, weird and
wonderful inventions, warm and funny characters - all perfectly
pitched for younger readers. A modern-day INSPECTOR GADGET meets
THE WORST WITCH, with a STEM twist.
"Everything you would expect from Collins is here: fraught teenage
love; plenty of violence... the themes of friendship, betrayal,
authority and oppression will please and thrill" The Guardian "It
works beautifully... please don't make us wait another decade" The
Times Ambition will fuel him. Competition will drive him. But power
has its price. It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off
the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old
Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor
in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard
times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will
be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to
mentor the winning tribute. The odds are against him. He's been
given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute
from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now
completely intertwined - ; every choice Coriolanus makes could lead
to favour or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be
a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel
for his doomed tribute... and must weigh his need to follow the
rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes. Three
books, four films and one worldwide phenomenon, The Hunger Games
changed the face of global YA. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
was a global number one hit in hardback. Soon to be a major feature
film releasing in 2023.
