Welcome back to the FAYZ! This is Book 2 in the series that Stephen
King calls a 'driving, torrential narrative'. An uneasy calm has
settled over Perdido Beach. But soon, fear explodes into
desperation as food supplies dwindle and starvation sets in. More
and more kids are developing strange powers and, just as
frighteningly, so are the animals in the FAYZ: talking coyotes,
swimming bats and deadly worms with razor-sharp teeth are just the
beginning. For Sam Temple the strain of leadership is beginning to
show and he's got more than just dwindling rations and in-fighting
to worry about - Caine is back with the psychotic whiphand, Drake,
by his side. And deep in the ground, the biggest danger of all is
getting hungry . . . The GONE series is Lord of the Flies for the
21st century. In turns breathtaking, harrowing, and utterly
terrifying. Its complex characters and moral dilemmas will delight
fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Maze Runner. This is
dystopian fiction at its best. Have you got all 6 titles in the New
York Times bestselling saga?: Gone Hunger Lies Plague Fear Light 'I
am now free to leave the FAYZ, but my time there was well spent'
Stephen King

Tales from the Tree House
Maggie Sparks does NOT fit in! Especially not with Arthur’s new
friends, who all love SCIENCE. Maggie tries everything she can
think of to be like them – even reading BORING science books. But
nothing works! Then things go from bad to worse when an angry
astronaut upsets Arthur. Thankfully, Maggie is a super powerful,
super smart, super talented WITCH. She plans to use her powers to
fix things, fit in and make Arthur’s dreams of exploring
SPACE come true. All she needs is a little magic … About
the Maggie Sparks series: Step into the magical world of Maggie
Sparks: the mischievous little witch who turns every day into an
adventure. Join Maggie as she learns how to tackle school, make
friends and most confusing of all: understand her emotions – when
she’s not facing dragons and meeting aliens, that is! Perfect to
bridge the gap between Isadora Moon and Amelia Fang for young
readers aged 5+.
This book will sort myth from fact to bring you the real science
behind the search for alien lifeforms. Space expert Joalda Morancy
will take readers on a tour of the Solar System (and beyond) on
board new NASA missions searching for the most likely alien hiding
places - from icy moons of Jupiter to the clouds of Venus. Along
the way kids will find out about: * The robots sent to Mars to look
for Martians * What really goes on at Area 51 * Ways to spot an
advanced alien civilisation (hint - look for dim stars) Readers
will explore a comet, race futuristic spaceships, and discuss what
we would say to aliens when we finally meet them (after "hello!").
They may seem as fanciful as wizards and monsters, but this book
will show that scientists not only believe that aliens exist - but
that it's only a matter of time before we find them.
'Fast-paced, furiously funny and utterly fantastic.' A.F. Steadman

headset, Zack must journey across China to steal magical artifacts
and defeat figures from history and myth. Using his newfound water
dragon powers, can Zack complete the mission in time to save the
mortal world?
