'He spreads out his hands. They glow yellow, then orange. Threads
emerge from underneath his nails, shining out of the skin. They
weave themselves together, the fingers knitting their light-made
lace until the threads form a fabric heading out of the glass panes
and towards the fields. They cross the glass without so much as a
shudder. Seo crafts his land.' Seo Kuroaku has it all. Adopted as a
boy by the formidable Sir Neil, he's the youth champion of Twine,
the high-pressured national sport. Played in arenas where thousands
come to watch, weavers craft creatures from their fingertips to
wage battle against fearsome opponents. But this is a Britain of
much darker times - and Seo is harbouring a secret. When he is
outed, Twine can't help him. With the help of his little brother
Minjun and Jack, the man he can't decide if he loves or not, Seo
has to find a way to get his life back on track, whilst facing the
biggest match of his life. In The Game Weavers, Rebecca Zahabi has
created a fantastical yet hauntingly contemporary narrative which
is both love story and fable - The Game Weavers is a coming of age
story about the importance of intimacy, family and self-acceptance.
All the Nonsense in my Teeth is a fantastical, dream-like story
about teeth brushing, that takes readers on a journey into the
narrator's imagination and encourages good personal hygiene and
following a daily routine. Tonight I brushed my teeth. They really
needed a good clean! Oh, let me tell you about all the things that
I found in them... There were breakfast hoops and ice cream scoops
An aeroplane doing loop the loops An aeroplane, now that's absurd!
Then to my shock... a flock of birds! The charming artwork and
sing-song rhyme scheme take readers on an adventure filled with
fantastical imagery, as all kinds of things from cyclists doing
stunts to an animal brass band are revealed inside the
protagonist's mouth as they brush their teeth! With entertaining
illustrations from Barbara Bakos, let this wonderful picture book
transport you and your children to another world before they go to
sleep.
