When Elliot Sutton arrives at Holminster High, he is determined not
to stand out. He simply can't let himself become a target like he
was at his last school. He's going to invent a whole new Elliot.
The new Elliot is tough, impenetrable. The new Elliot shows no
fear. Enter the Guardians, a group of upperclassmen who secretly
rule over Holminster with a quiet and anonymous terror. Obsessed
with George Orwell's book "1984, they desire power for the sake of
power. And strangely enough, they also want Elliot. Not to
terrorize . . . but to become one of them. Gripping in its
psychological understanding, this unflinching novel takes you deep
into the mind of a boy who is coming to understand the nature of
absolute power and its inevitable casualties, and also finding a
bit of his own strength along the way.
Help your little one learn to recognise and communicate their
feelings with this charming book. Each double-page spread features
an engaging animal character on the right, and an activity on the
left, providing reassurance and healthy coping strategies to
promote mental well-being.
1940. The world is at war, and a secret arm of the British government called the Ministry of Unladylike Activity is training up spies.
Enter May Wong: courageous, stubborn, and desperate to help end the war so that she can go home to Hong Kong (and leave her annoying school, Deepdean, behind forever). May knows that she would make the perfect spy. After all, grown-ups always underestimate children like her.
When May and her friend Eric are turned away by the Ministry, they take matters into their own hands. Masquerading as evacuees, they travel to Elysium Hall, home to the wealthy Verey family - including snobby, dramatic Nuala. They suspect that one of the Vereys is passing information to Germany. If they can prove it, the Ministry will have to take them on.
But there are more secrets at Elysium Hall than May or Eric could ever have imagined.
And then, someone is murdered...
