Ziggy's Frightening Flight sees Ziggy the honey bee buzzing happily
from flower to flower, yet as time goes on she realises the flowers
she loves are making her sick. Can the farmer and his children save
the bees before it is too late? Ziggy's Frightening Flight is based
on true events and it is this powerful message which invites
children and adults alike to question the impact of habitat loss on
our environment. With ideas and activities which reinforce the
story this is a book which will inspire children to make changes to
the world around them. There is a huge growing national and
international consciousness about the need to protect our bees and
it is important to teach children about this global issue without
overwhelming them or shocking them. The Wild Tribe Heroes series of
books guides young readers through the issues in a gentle and
friendly way together with further information to inspire children
to make changes to their own and their families lives.
At the age of sixteen Frances Hodgson Burnett moved to Tennessee
with her bankrupt family and began writing for American magazines
as means to support herself. Over two decades later Burnett
published "Little Lord Fauntleroy," modeling the character after
her son Vivian. Burnett's text and Reginald Birch's original
illustrations helped popularize a very romantic style of dress for
boys -- a velvet suit with a broad lace collar -- in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. The catch? Avery has no idea why—or even who Tobias Hawthorne is.
To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's touch—and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes. Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit billions. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a conwoman, and he's determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfather's last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved.
Caught in a world of wealth and privilege with danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.
