In 1975, under a bed in an old house in Tarrytown, New York, an
unearthly tome entitled Ghostology was discovered, wrapped in a
substance, later found to be ectoplasm. It is the life's work and
study of American ghostologist Lucinda Curtle, who mysteriously
passed to the Other Side during a seance. After her death,
Ghostology seemingly became haunted by the ghost of Lucinda
herself, who now wants to keep the secrets of the dead A SECRET.
Now published, ghostwritten by Dugald Steer, the world itself can
decide if Ghostology - purporting to tell the truth about ghosts -
was solid fact or insubstantial fiction. Delve into the wealth of
information and learn about different types of ghosts, ghosts
around the world and ghost through history; haunted houses, ships
and other objects (including books); the ghostologist's field kit;
psychics and mediums; fakes and frauds; test your ghostological
knowledge on one of Lucinda's own case studies. Complete with a
jewel in the cover, as well as letters, booklets, sealed pages,
flaps, a moving wheel novelty and glow in the dark ink.
Felicity Bat's cool big sister, Idabelle, is always up to no good, but when Tiga and Fluffanora are invited to join her secret clique, The Points, they can't resist.
But soon they realise that Idabelle doesn't really want to make friends. She's using them - and a bit of magic - to bring back the infamous outlaw witch gang, the Ritzy Six!
Tiga and Fluffanora are going to need all the help they can get to magic history's most mischievous witches back to the past. Unfortunately, Felicity Bat is furious with them and Fran is just a teensy bit busy starring in the TV wrestling event of the century ... FAIRY FIGHTZ!

Far away in the north, at the edge of the Ancient Forest, lives a
little unicorn. Wee Unicorn is very small, and she's very loud . .
. but she's not magic (and everyone knows unicorns are supposed to
be magic!). Wee Unicorn would love to find friends to play with,
but how can she fit in when she feels so different? A fun-filled
tale of adventure and finding friendship in the most unexpected
places by Meg McLaren, winner of the Scottish Bookbug Picture Book
Prize and shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize.
Explore the basic fundamentals of the Zodiac with children,
allowing them to understand all that the night sky has to offer.
Through fun trivia, puzzles, prose, and challenges, this refreshing
workbook provides hours of educational play that can be revisited
over and over. Children will be helped to make sense of the
influences that surround every one of us. For each of the 12
Astrological Zodiacs there are corresponding aspects in different
areas like: their element, planetary ruler, color, stone, and
motto. Even the placement of each Zodiac has significance, as it
was once used as an Astrological calendar. In the Night Sky focuses
on learning to recognize the constellations and their aspects,
hearing more about their stories, and finding how they came to be
and the lessons that they teach.
