In 1771, Robert Burns, future national poet and folk hero of
Scotland, has big problems. 12-year-old Rab spends all of his time
doing backbreaking work on his family's farm instead of attending
school, but when he finds a hag stone in one of the fields,
everything changes. Looking through its circular hole, he sees
witches gathering in a coming storm, and they've set their sights
on his family. Can Rab save his sisters from the clutches of the
witches' coven before their Halloween ceremony in the old kirk?
Filled with mystery and magic, Hag Storm is a spooky, historical
adventure with a supernatural twist, based on the life of Robert
Burns and one of his most famous and best-loved poems, Tam
O'Shanter.
In Jules Verne's epic tale, Captain Nemo and the crew of the
undersea vessel, Nautilus, journey through an at times fictional,
yet at times very real, undersea world, from the lost city of
Atlantis to the Red Sea. This engaging story is presented as an
exciting and fast-paced graphic novel which remains faithful to
Verne's original text. Specially commissioned full-colour artwork
brings excitement and atmosphere to this classic tale. Speech
bubbles work with the main text to emphasise and enhance the
retelling. A running glossary at the foot of each page helps young
readers with any challenging vocabulary without disrupting their
reading experience. The highly visual nature of comic book
storytelling, small amounts of text and easy-to-follow sequential
ordering of the picture strips are a brilliant way for young
readers who're challenged or intimidated by reading to improve
their literacy skills.

It is the night before Christmas and excitement lingers in the air.
The snow lies in a thick layer over everything, the turkey is
plucked and ready, and the mince pies tower on sugar-dusted plates.
But one thing has yet to be done. The stockings hang limp and empty
from the mantlepiece and the Christmas tree has no presents
underneath it. Only a very special visitor can finish the job.
Savour the magic of Christmas Eve in this lively poem as one child
has the experience of a lifetime.
