Blythe Hawthorn has never let anyone tell her what to do . . . and
she's not about to start now.
Headstrong and passionate, she won't be ruled by society, or by her
overprotective father, and certainly not by the man she's bound herself
to, no matter how insufferable he is. She's determined to be a thorn in
his side for the rest of her days, even as he ensues that her life in
his palace is anything but the decadent fairytale she imagined.
But as Blythe discovers a new side of herself linked to his past,
she'll have to decide if she's willing to let an unexpected spark
ignite . . . and discover the real truth about who she is inside.
Beautiful, flaxen-haired Buttercup has fallen for Westley, the farm
boy, and when he departs to make his fortune, she vows never to
love another. So, when she hears that his ship has been captured by
the Dread Pirate Roberts (no survivors) her heart is broken. But
her charms draw the attention of the relentless Prince Humperdinck
who wants a wife and will go to any lengths to have Buttercup. So
starts a fairy tale like no other, of fencing, poison, true love,
hate, revenge, giants, bad men, good men, snakes, spiders, chases,
escapes, lies, truths, passion and miracles, and a damn fine story.

A mysterious symbol could be the key—if only she knew how to translate it. Every new clue seems to lead deeper into her world’s underbelly and the Black Swan aren’t the only ones who have plans. The Neverseen have their own Initiative, and if Sophie doesn’t stop it, they might finally have the ultimate means to control her.

A captivating, powerful and luminous story from a bestselling,
award-winning author about a mother, a daughter and the great
Greenland shark. Wrapped up in mesmerising illustrations and
presented as a deluxe hardback, this is a perfect gift for the
holiday season, for 9+ fans of Philip Pullman, Sally Gardner and
Frances Hardinge. The shark was beneath my bed, growing large as
the room, large as the lighthouse, rising from unfathomable depths
until it ripped the whole island from its roots. The bed was a
boat, the shark a tide, and it pulled me so far out to sea I was
only a speck, a spot, a mote, a dying star in an unending sky...
Julia has followed her mum and dad to live on a remote island for
the summer - her dad, for work; her mother, on a determined mission
to find the elusive Greenland shark. But when her mother's
obsession threatens to submerge them all, Julia finds herself on an
adventure with dark depths and a lighthouse full of hope... A
beautiful, lyrical, uplifting story about a mother, a daughter, and
love - with timely themes of the importance of science and the
environment.
