determined to use her powers to get into the elite Sharks swimming

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

Imagine you made something that was so beautiful and powerful that
everyone wanted to take it for themselves. And then you had to
watch them destroy it. Would you fight for it? Meet Gaia, the
ancient Greek goddess who created the Earth and the universe that
stretched beyond it. She raised trees from their roots to the sky,
sent waterfalls tumbling over cliffs and created the tides that
sloshed on the shore. She gifted her creation to animals and
mortals, and watched as they made it their home. But she also
created a force she couldn't control: the ambition of gods. Gaia
watched as the gods fought brutal wars and manipulated mortals such
as Hercules and Achilles, disturbing peace on Earth. Storms raged,
fires blazed and people, animals and plants suffered. Gaia begged
the gods to look after her creation, but no one listened. But Gaia
never gave up fighting for a better world. This is her story.
Written and illustrated by two remarkable sisters, Imogen and
Isabel Greenberg, this story is an exciting and action-packed
adventure, with a poignant environmental message at the heart of
it: the pursuit of power damages our natural world, and we all have
to work together to protect it.

Winter with this beautiful new edition - the perfect gift. Since
the publication of Cicely Mary Barker's first book in 1923, the
Flower Fairies have been ethereal companions to readers around the

The Enchanted Castle (1907) is a children's fantasy novel by
English writer Edith Nesbit. Using elements of magic and mystery
familiar to readers of her beloved Bastable and Psammead Trilogies,
Nesbit crafts a tale of wonder and adventure for children and
adults alike. While on a school holiday, children Jerry, Jimmy, and
Kathy explore the open landscape of rural southwestern England. One
day, they discover an immense country estate, designed like an
ancient castle and complete with towers, gardens, groves, and even
a lake. In the middle of its central rose garden, they find a maze
at the end of which a young girl lies asleep. Waking, she reveals
that she is the princess of the castle, and agrees to show them
some of its mysteries. One of these is the ring of invisibility,
which, when she slips it on her finger to demonstrate its power,
actually works. Startled, the princess reveals that she is really
the housekeeper's niece, and admits that she was only fooling
around. Scared at first, the children begin to experiment with the
ring, unleashing its powers in fantastic and terrifying ways. The
Enchanted Castle is an entertaining, endearing novel, a masterpiece
of mystery and adventure with enough excitement to ignite the
wonder of children, and to fill any adult with a sense of childish
wonder. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Edith Nesbit's The Enchanted
Castle is a classic of English children's literature reimagined for
modern readers.
