The neighbours all complain about the foxes hanging around the flat where Cassie lives, close to the River Thames, but Cassie thinks they’re beautiful. Her favourite is a small fox with a white tail-tip, who she names Frost. One night she catches sight of him out in the snow, looking cold and thin, and decides to sneak him some food. But Frost seems to want her to follow him...
As he leads Cassie towards the river she feels the world change around her and finds herself in the back in the seventeenth century – at the time of the Frost Fair on the frozen Thames. At first she is thrilled by the sights and sounds of the famous fair, then she glimpses a fox with a white tail-tip. It appears that Frost wants her to follow him again. Can she find a way to return the fox to his countryside home?
An magical wintry tale from best-selling author Holly Webb. For fans of Michael Morpurgo and THE SNOW FOAL, this is the perfect book to snuggle up with and enjoy this winter.
Henry Bogget is an ordinary boy of just eight years old, and Henry
has a secret. A secret that has been kept for many, many years. A
secret about magic in London... In England, whenever someone
changes the world and leaves their mark on history, a little round
blue plaque is placed on the house where they once lived to make
sure they can never be forgotten. With every discovery made,
artwork painted or song written, a little trace of very powerful
magic, an enchantment, is left behind. One night, not too long ago,
Henry discovered this secret and his life changed forever. An
adventure beyond his wildest dreams was about to begin.
"Meet Tomi Adeyemi--the new J.K. Rowling. (Yep, she's that good)." --Entertainment Weekly
After battling the impossible, Zélie and Amari have finally succeeded in bringing magic back to the land of Orïsha. But the ritual was more powerful than they could've imagined, reigniting the powers of not only the maji, but of nobles with magic ancestry, too.
Now, Zélie struggles to unite the maji in an Orïsha where the enemy is just as powerful as they are. But when the monarchy and military unite to keep control of Orïsha, Zélie must fight to secure Amari's right to the throne and protect the new maji from the monarchy's wrath.
With civil war looming on the horizon, Zélie finds herself at a breaking point: she must discover a way to bring the kingdom together or watch as Orïsha tears itself apart.
Children of Virtue and Vengeance is the stunning sequel to Tomi Adeyemi's New York Times-bestselling debut Children of Blood and Bone, the first book in the Legacy of Orïsha trilogy.

By the author of Once Upon a Unicorn Horn, shortlisted for the 2020
Waterstones Children's Book Prize. The second title in a new series
about how magical creatures came to have their gifts. Do you know
how dragons got their fire? It all began once upon a magic kingdom,
when a fearsome, terrifying dragon stalked the land. He was so mean
he ate kittens for breakfast, he was so scary he made children
scream, and he was so evil that he blew huge storms out of his
jaws, which is why it was always so cold. Or so the stories said.
When two children called Freya and Sylas met the dragon, they found
something very different indeed...
