THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL is now a major motion picture from
Netflix, starring Academy Award winner Charlize Theron, Kerry
Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Yeoh, Cate Blanchett, and
many more! A dark and enchanting fantasy adventure for those who
prefer fairytales with a twist... The first in the bestselling
series. Every four years, two girls are kidnapped from the village
of Gavaldon. Legend has it these lost children are sent to the
School for Good and Evil, the fabled institution where they become
fairytale heroes or villains. With her glass slippers and devotion
to good deeds, Sophie knows she'll join the ranks of past students
like Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Snow White at the School for Good.
Meanwhile, Agatha, with her shapeless black dresses and wicked
black cat, seems a natural fit for the villains in the School for
Evil. But the two girls soon find their fortunes reversed -
Sophie's dumped in the School for Evil to take Uglification, Death
Curses and Henchmen Training, while Agatha finds herself in the
School for Good, thrust among handsome princes and fair maidens for
classes in Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication. But what if
the mistake is actually the first clue to discovering who Sophie
and Agatha really are?
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
The precarious equilibrium among the four Londons has reached its
breaking point. Once brimming with the red vivacity of magic,
darkness casts a shadow over the Maresh Empire, leaving a space for
another London to rise. Kell-once assumed to be the last surviving
Antari-begins to waver under the pressure of competing loyalties.
Lila Bard, once a commonplace-but never common-thief, has survived
and flourished through a series of magical trials. But now she must
learn to control the magic, before it bleeds her dry. Meanwhile,
the disgraced Captain Alucard Emery and the Night Spire crew are
attempting a race against time to acquire the impossible, as an
ancient enemy returns to claim a crown and a fallen hero is
desperate to save a decaying world...
