Step into the shadows and uncover the centuries-old myths and
legends that lie beneath the figure of the vampire, with this
magical compendium of facts and fiction. Whether rising from a
coffin in the dead of night or stalking its prey, hidden in plain
sight, the vampire is one of the most alluring beings in world
folklore. These undead bloodsuckers are as alive as ever in
modern pop culture, from movies and books to video games and TV
shows. But despite their cultural immortality, mystery still
surrounds their shadowy origins. Secrets of the
Vampire compiles every scrap of vampire lore into one
essential volume, covering everything from famous vampires such as
Count Dracula and his historical counterpart, to the vampiric
aversion to sunlight and garlic and their supernatural abilities.
With this lavishly illustrated field guide, decode the deathly
world of the vampire. Discover the meanings behind occult symbols,
the ancient origins of vampire tropes, the most powerful and
frightening vampires from stories around the world, and the real
people said to have inspired the grisly tales of these creatures of
the night. Learn how to tell a vampire from a living person and get
wise to their tricks and powers. Secrets of the Vampire is
the perfect deep-dive into a fascinating figure of folklore, for
any and all vampire-obsessed 9-14 year-olds.
Pack your bags and have a sleepover in Ancient Egypt! Join two
friends and their mischievous cat who happen to be able to time
travel! Travel with these bold adventurers, via a striking gatefold
spread, into Ancient Egypt and meet siblings Tuya and Senbi who
invite them into their home. Tuya and Senbi show them around their
house and their city, transporting the visitors and the readers
into the everyday life of an Egyptian kid. We explore their
house, play their favourite games, dress up in jewels, learn who
are their favourite gods, favourite snacks and what they dream of
being when they grow up. The time travellers end their eventful day
with a family feast and a sleepover at their hosts' house. Tim
Knapman's text is funny and informative, and the scenarios the kids
– and cat – find themselves in lead to lots of visual gags and
funny character interaction and misunderstandings.
Well-researched historical facts are introduced in a gentle,
playful way. Warm, comical and engaging illustrations from
Matt Robertson bring the past alive so the reader really
feels like they are living like kids from long ago.

they are. Through gentle rhyming words and magical illustrations,

felt when a new baby is born. On the night you were born, you

She wants a future - is that too much? This Thing Called the Future, the multiple-award-winning young-adult novel from J.L. Powers, is finally coming to South Africa, its country of origin. The book is set in Imbali, the sprawling township outside Pietermaritzburg. Khosi is fourteen years old. She lives with her grandmother and her little sister, Zi. Both her parents tell her of the past, about a time when hundreds of Imbali residents were killed in political violence. Khosi wants a future; she wants to help make South Africa a better place. Is that too much in an environment where some men believe that raping virgins, like Khosi, will cure them of AIDS? Meanwhile, Khosi has fallen in love and really, really just wants to experience that warm, fuzzy feeling that happens when Little Man, the handsome boy in her class, touches her hand. In a world where HIV and AIDS are treatable for those with money and access to good state-sponsored care, Khosi has to negotiate hours in clinic lines, vengeful men, her mother's disdain for traditional healers, her grandmother's faith in their sangoma, and the terrible curse her next-door neighbour has cast on their household. This beautifully crafted young-adult novel never preaches and never falls into the trap of “warning” teenagers against anything. It simply deals with the realities of township life and the hardships a young virgin faces. This Thing Called the Future has won several prizes in the USA. LAPA and Catalyst Press are proud to bring it back to its country of origin.
