It's the year 1932 long before the age of mobile phones and T.V.
It's the time when great adventures took place. Ben and his two
partners in the white hand gang, Max and Joe (Josephine) discover
the skeleton of a pirate in a secret cave. Their quest to find the
pirates' missing treasure gets them trapped in the mountain lair of
an army of trolls lost in time. Their plight is further deepened or
so they think, when they stumble into the presence of a bewitched
dragon.
Laurie loves stories. She loves reading them in her mums' bookshop in their small Scottish town. She loves sharing them with new readers. She also loves telling stories about people she's not yet met and places she's not yet been. But when one of these people comes crashing into Laurie's world, it turns her whole life upside down. Neon is the boy Laurie's been dreaming of for the last six months, and he's exactly as she had created him - down to his ability to play any instrument he picks up. And when he steps off the train and into Laurie's world, he teaches her what it means to be real. A fantastical story about imagination and friendship from the award-winning author of AWAY WITH WORDS.

that is to have unforseen consequences not only for them, but for
the fate of all the worlds. Faerie Baby, Moon Magic and The Stone
Dragon are now available in a single volume for the first time.

'A writer of comic genius - he has something of Roald Dahl's magic,
but more heart' - Sunday Telegraph ‘Maybe you don’t believe me.
Maybe you don’t believe in magic. I bet you will by the time
you’ve heard what happened to us.’ Cousins Middy and Nathan
love magic. The on-stage, cape-swirling, bunny-out-of-a-hat kind.
For Middy, it’s all about patience and practice. She uses magic
skills to help her out of tricky situations. Nathan is a show-off
and a total danger magnet, he is drawn to the sensation, spectacle
and audience. So when the famous Blackpool Tower dramatically
vanishes the night of the Grand Lights Switch-On, showman Nathan
announces live on TV that they will magic it back home. With a
stick of rock, a spangly cape, and a bit of misdirection, they end
up lost in Las Vegas, home to the grand master of illusion,
Perplexion, ‘Legend of Magic’. Full of tricks, twists and
deceptions, the delightful Nathan and Middy will keep you guessing
until the very end. Praise for Noah's Gold: 'Sparkly, witty,
enticing storytelling . . . It's perfect' Hilary McKay

Jude must risk venturing back into the treacherous Faerie Court, and
confront her lingering feelings for Cardan, if she wishes to save her
sister. But Elfhame is not as she left it. War is brewing. As Jude
slips deep within enemy lines she becomes ensnared in the conflict's
bloody politics.
And, when a dormant yet powerful curse is unleashed, panic spreads
throughout the land, forcing her to choose between her ambition and her
humanity...
