For years Grace's family have been wardens of the Griffin map,
using its teleport technology to help people and fight crime across
the land of Moreland. At thirteen, Grace is too young become a
warden, but she longs to go on missions herself. After all, if her
brother Bren can do it, why can't she? So when Grace finds herself
alone with the map when a distress call comes in, she jumps at the
chance to prove she's up to the task. But the map transports Grace
to a remote village where nothing is quite as it seems. Has she
landed right in the middle of a treacherous scheme?

The Secret Seven are siblings Peter and Janet, and Jack, Barbara, Pam, Colin and George. Together they are The Secret Seven - ready to solve any mystery, any time - in Enid Blyton's classic series of 15 mystery novels.
It's their first adventure and the Secret Seven super-sleuths are already on the trail of a mystery!
The gang are dressed in disguise, following a lead to a spooky old house in the snow...
First published in 1949, this anniversary edition features the original text as well as extra stories, a quiz, additional artwork and insights into Blyton's life and writing process. Both cover and inside illustrations were created by Tony Ross in 2013.
Missing maids, suspicious teachers and a snow storm to die for... For a fearless girl called Justice Jones, super-smart super-sleuth, it's just the start of a spine-tingling first term at Highbury House Boarding School for the Daughters of Gentlefolk. For fans of Robin Stevens, Katherine Woodfine and Enid Blyton.
When Justice's mother dies, her father packs her off to Highbury House Boarding School for the Daughters of Gentlefolk. He's a barrister - specialising in murder trials - and he's just too busy to look after her alone.
Having previously been home-schooled, the transition is a shock. Can it really be the case that blondes rule the corridors? Are all uniforms such a charming shade of brown? And do schools normally hide dangerous secrets about the murder of a chamber maid?
Justice takes it upon herself to uncover the truth. (Mainly about the murder, but perhaps she can figure out her new nemesis - the angelic Rose - at the same time.) But when a storm cuts the school off from the real world, the body count starts to rise and Justice realises she'll need help from her new friends if she's going to find the killer before it's too late ...
The exhilarating second book in acclaimed children's author Karel
Hayes' Lake Kanakonda trilogy. Spring has come again to Lake
Kanakondah, but it is not a peaceful spring. A menacing presence
has invaded the deep dark waters of the bottomless lake. Caught in
a mystery that began a long time ago in Peru, Alex, Maizy, and
Harvey must right a wrong to save their lake. When Harvey
disappears, Alex and Maizy find themselves fighting a dangerous
force that plummets them spinning into an upside down world with no
way home. With every step they take, the ancient mystery grows
dangerously unsolvable, until Alex and Maizy are left wondering if
they can right the wrong, find Harvey, and save Lake Kanakondah-and
most important: find their way home?
