In a secret world above the clouds lives a little unicorn with a
bright, sparkling horn, called Lunicorn. There is just one rule in
this special unicorn world: never let yourself be seen by the
humans who live below. Unicorn magic is secret! But one night,
Lunicorn hears the cries of a little girl who is scared of the
dark. With her brightly glowing horn, Lunicorn knows she can help
by lending a light. But can she persuade her unicorn friends that
her special gift is meant to be shared? Based on the evergreen
rhyme 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' with a heart-warming message
about spreading kindness and finding your unique way to shine!
Milena, an obedient teenager, has to team up with the supernatural
creatures she was taught to fear in order to escape the people she
once loved... In a world where humans must hide underground to stay
safe from the creatures who roam the night, Milena's life as an
outcast is hardly worth noticing. But on the day her village is
attacked and her life is spared by the mysterious Elias, Milena is
forced to throw everything she thought she knew about her world out
the window. Because while Elias looks just as human as she is, he's
actually the leader of a pack of wolf shifters, and the bond she
feels with him compels her to start asking questions about the
things she's been told about the creatures of the night. Because if
her village was willing to lie about something like this, what
other secrets might they be keeping from her?

If there really is alien life elsewhere in the Universe, then it's
reasonable to ask why we haven't seen it. Surely planet Earth must
have been visited by aliens, if they exist. Does that mean that
alien life doesn't exist? This book uses our knowledge of the
universe, some simple maths and a little bit of intelligent
speculation to take a sober look at the chances of our actually
meeting alien life. After all, we will only meet up if both of us
are in the right place at the right time. The Universe is a big
place - and it has been around for a long time. Perhaps we were
"out" when they visited us? This is a wonderful non-fiction book
which offers deep insights to inquiring minds in a way that is
simple yet not patronising. Light-hearted, stimulating and
entertaining, this book will answer at least some of the questions
that a curious child wants to know the answers to.
Based on true accounts of hauntings, and told with a master
storyteller's eye for detail, these collections will scare, astound
and intruct kids of all ages. Young readers will enjoy this
fascinating debut in which kids encounter all manner of animal
ghosts. some envlolve pets, others involve wild animals, but all
are very scary!
Whosoever wields the Sword of Power shall be the one true King.
But what if the Sword has chosen a Queen?
Nimue grew up an outcast. Her connection to dark magic made her something to be feared in her Druid village, and that made her desperate to leave...
That is, until her entire village is slaughtered by Red Paladins, and Nimue's fate is forever altered. Charged by her dying mother to reunite an ancient sword with a legendary sorcerer, Nimue is now her people's only hope. Her mission leaves little room for revenge, but the growing power within her can think of little else.
Nimue teams up with a charming mercenary named Arthur and refugee Fey Folk from across England. She wields a sword meant for the one true king, battling paladins and the armies of a corrupt king. She struggles to unite her people, avenge her family, and discover the truth about her destiny.
But perhaps the one thing that can change Destiny itself is found at the edge of a blade.

The utterly compelling and darkly magical sequel to award-winning
author Deirdre Sullivan's PERFECTLY PREVENTABLE DEATHS Look.
Madeline. You've lost your soul. You've lost your freedom. You've
lost a bit of your sister. What else could go wrong? Catlin and
Madeline are extraordinary sisters, living extraordinary lives - in
a place that seems entirely ordinary, but which in fact seethes
with secrets, both sacred and sinister. Ballyfran is a village
where, for centuries, people who are not quite human have gathered.
Catlin has already fallen foul of one such creature - a dark,
vicious predator who almost killed her - and only Madeline giving
up a part of her own soul was able to bring Catlin back from the
brink of death. Now, the girls are making their strange new lives:
Catlin, haunted by what happened to her, is isolated and bereft;
Madeline is learning ancient magics under the tutelage of local
wise woman Mamo. Learning that magic isn't mindfulness and hats.
It's work - hard work. And Madeline knows she has to keep watch. On
her sister. On the things that happen. Notice things before they
start to happen. And before long, they do ...
For thousands of years, humans have wondered whether there is life
in outer space. In more recent years, people have searched for
evidence. Are there signs of alien life? Read on to find out!
