Grandpa is turning into a zombie and if Alex wants to rescue him before the Zombie Squad shows up, he’ll need to come up with a plan (and heaps of broccoli). Their travels to find a cure takes them across Africa – from Zambia to Egypt – and along the way they meet a range of interesting and wonderful characters.
Top selling children’s books author Jacobs uses his characteristic combination of humour and the compassionate portrayal of relationships between family and friends to create yet another bestseller in the making.
Sink your teeth into this thrilling Black vampire romantasy!
Hidden in our world, a society of vampires originating in Africa, can only feed from select human bloodlines. Each bloodline represents a House more cutthroat than the next. To ensure peaceful co-existence and inherit their legacy, human children of these families must study at an elite university before choosing a vampire companion.
Lost Heiress, Kidan Adane grew up far from Uxlay University. She is obsessively protective, mildly nihilistic, and willing to do anything to save her loved ones. When her sister, June, disappears, Kidan is convinced a vampire stole her - the alluring yet dangerous Susenyos Sagad, the same vampire bound to her own House.
To stay in Uxlay, Kidan must study an arcane philosophy, work with four enigmatic students, and survive living with Susenyos - even as he does everything to drive her away. It doesn't matter that Susenyos' violence speaks to her own and tempts Kidan to surrender to a life of darkness. She must find her sister and kill him at all costs.
When a murder mirroring June's disappearance shakes Uxlay, Kidan sinks further into the ruthless underworld of vampires, risking her very soul. Here, she discovers a centuries-old threat. And June could be at the very centre of it.

alien race called the Krell leads onslaught after onslaught from
the sky in a never-ending campaign to destroy humankind. Humanity's

skies. Pilots have become the heroes of what's left of the human
race. Spensa has always dreamed of being one of them; of soaring
above Earth and proving her bravery. But her fate is intertwined
with her father's - a pilot who was killed years ago when he

flight school somewhere between slim and none. No one will let
Spensa forget what her father did, but she is still determined to
fly. And the Krell just made that a possibility. They've doubled
their fleet, making Spensa's world twice as dangerous . . . but
their desperation to survive might just take her skyward . . .
Praise for Brandon Sanderson's #1 New York Times Bestselling
Reckoners series: 'Another win for Sanderson . . . he's simply a
brilliant writer' Patrick Rothfuss 'Action-packed' EW.com

for readers to pick up on to distract from the more dramatic
reveals he has in store' AV Club
The Little Prince is a modern fable, and for readers far and wide
both the title and the work have exerted a pull far in excess of
the book's brevity. Written and published first by Antoine de
St-Exupery in 1943, only a year before his plane disappeared on a
reconnaissance flight, it is one of the world's most widely
translated books, enjoyed by adults and children alike. In the
meeting of the narrator who has ditched his plane in the Sahara
desert, and the little prince, who has dropped there through time
and space from his tiny asteroid, comes an intersection of two
worlds, the one governed by the laws of nature, and the other
determined only by the limits of imagination. The world of the
imagination wins hands down, with the concerns of the adult world
often shown to be lamentably silly as seen through the eyes of the
little prince. While adult readers can find deep meanings in his
various encounters, they can also be charmed back to childhood by
this wise but innocent infant. This popular translation contains
the author's own delightful illustrations, bringing to visual life
the small being at the tale's heart, and a world of fantasy far
removed from any quotidian reality. It is also a sort of love
story, in which two frail beings, the downed pilot and the
wandering infant-prince who has left behind all he knows, share
their short time together isolated from humanity and finding
sustenance in each other. This is a book which creates a unique
relationship with each reader, whether child or adult.
