A fabled witch. A powerful curse. A monster out for revenge.
13-year-old Kallie Tamm can't wait to spend a week of her summer
holidays at the Wildstorm Theatre Camp: she's determined not to let
her dyslexia hold her back from achieving her dream of becoming a
playwright. The finale of the whole week is a performance in the
local village theatre. But as soon as she arrives, Kallie discovers
that the cast will be performing a play written by a 17th Century
witch, Ellsabet Graveheart, and strange, scary things start
happening. Unbeknown to Kallie, a dark shadow is stirring in the
woodland near Wildstorm: an ancient and dangerous creature has
awoken from a centuries old slumber, and they're out for revenge,
putting Kallie and all of her new friends in grave danger. The
Wildstorm Curse is a thrillingly suspenseful story about unlikely
heroes and the power of storytelling, from author of The Bird
Singers, Eve Wersocki Morris. Praise for The Wildstorm Curse 'A
riveting tale full of secrets, suspense and the power of
storytelling. Just beware reading it if camping out in a dark,
spooky wood...' - Jamie Littler, bestselling author of Frostheart
'Fabulously gripping. I couldn't put it down.' - Abi Elphinstone,
bestselling author of Sky Song 'Bewitching and beguiling - The
Wildstorm Curse is a heartwarming and spinechilling tale of
friendship, bravery, and the intoxicating magic of storytelling.
Once you step foot into the Wildstorm Theatre, you'll never want to
leave.' - Jack Meggitt-Phillips, author of The Beast and the
Bethany 'The Wildstorm Curse is a brilliant, spine-tingling mystery
that kept me on the edge of my seat. I would wholeheartedly
recommend it!' - Ewa Jozefkowicz, author of The Dragon in the

intriguing adventure.' - Katherine Woodfine, author of The
Sinclair's Mysteries
THANDO Weber is a half South African and half Swiss nerdy girl with hopes of going to the best university in Switzerland like her father did. She is also the last surviving descendant of the Watchers of Realms, a powerful race of light beings who watch over the Milky Way galaxy. Her mission is to find her lower-self, and her higher-self to complete her triad, so that she may bond with them and be the next Dreamer – an interdimensional traveller and protector of the Earth Realm.
Tortured by the transformation of moving from human to Dreamer, THANDO hallucinates, sleepwalks, and suffers sleep deprivation, which destroys her dreams of tertiary education. On one mundane high school day, she loses consciousness and plunges into a coma, not from exhaustion but because she encounters her lower-self and higher-self simultaneously.
She starts her training to be a Dreamer, experiences challenges and travels through South Africa to find ways to release her latent superpowers. As she trains, the Kryona terrorises people around her to get to her. On her journeys through South Africa, she meets powerful creatures of old, ancient water spirits and primordial dragons who help her with her training. She is guided to traditional healers to assist her and comes across other traditional healers who betray her due to influence from the Kryona. Through her adventures, she learns about her mother’s Zulu culture and inches closer to her goal, but will it be enough?
You can't escape the shadows . . . The Elite are imprisoned, the
Reaper King is once again banished from the world and the city of
Nubis is trying to return to normal. So is Mia, but it's not so
easy. Coming to terms with new powers and being the tamer of two
umbra, she's also plagued by nightmares. Is the fear all in her
imagination? Or are the agents of darkness somehow planning another
assault? Once again, Mia's skills and resilience will be tested to
their limit. This is the second book in the sensational Umbra Tales
series, illustrated by Ana Latese.

With the end of everything just days away - and no longer able to

someone else. But... impossible dreams come with incredible risks,
and when Seb won't wake up and is taken to hospital in a coma,
Malky is forced to leave reality behind and undertake a final,
terrifying journey to the stone-age to wake his brother...
