Hidden in the strange new supermarket in town, Lana discovers a portal to a fairytale world!

Can she convince Harrison to believe in stories again and journey to the world with her . . . before it’s too late?
Fall into this bestselling classic adventure about the power of stories, with beautiful illustrations throughout from Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini.
Book 2 in the series. It's not often you find a children's book
told completely in verse, with stunning illustrations that tell the
story in a vibrant visual way. But, thankfully, the two-volume
'Little Tommy and the Kingdom of Clouds' is such a book, and as
such deserves to become a treasure of childhood literature. The
books outline in a unique and original way the adventures of Little
Tommy, a small boy, who, thanks to a magical ring he finds, is
whisked away to the enchanting Kingdom of Clouds. Here he befriends
a whole host of animals with fantastic talents, particularly in
sports and the arts. The stories highlight the qualities of
imagination, creativity and hope, as well as the importance of
friendship and following your dreams. Each passage in both volumes
is reinforced by the superlative illustrations of Ukrainian artist,
Nick Solonair, which I am sure both children and adults will love.
The whole story takes the reader on a thrilling journey into
someone else's world...across the Rainbow Staircase to the magical
Kingdom of Clouds. So why not join Little Tommy on that journey and
take a peek at his amazing adventures....": Agnes Meadows, Poet
& Writer

'Are you brave?' When the mysterious Amelia Pigeon turns up at
Kirby's bedroom window in the dead of night, this is the question
she asks him -- right before they tumble into a world of ancient
malevolent spirits who have torn their way into Kirby's quiet
seaside village. Kirby isn't feeling brave at all. His mother is in
a coma following a freak (or was it?) accident, and he's hardly
talking to his dad. He's convinced a spider is spying on him, and
now a weird girl in a yellow raincoat -- who claims to be a
powerful, evil-banishing Shadowsmith -- is dragging him into
unknown danger. How brave is he really? Ross MacKenzie, author of
award-winning The Nowhere Emporium, weaves a world of magic and
adventure which twists and turns magnificently, and keeps thrilled
young readers guessing right to the end.
