massive.

Travel back in time to view the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the
Roman Empire. Join Tranio, the son of an actor, and his friend
Livia, the baker's daughter, in witnessing the eruption of Mount
Vesuvius in AD79. Tranio, like most Roman boys, likes to watch
whatever is going on: tradesmen selling their goods, ships
unloading their exotic cargoes, politicians making speeches in the
forum. But one hot August day a very different scene unfolds. The
ground begins to shake, the sky to darken. People run gasping for
air. Heading for the harbor, Tranio and his friend Livia hide on a
boat and witness one of the most terrifying moments in recorded
history-the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the destruction of their
beloved city, Pompeii. Although this book handles the sensitive
subject of a tragic natural disaster, this book perfectly pitched
for years 2 and 3. It is great in explaining the daily life of
Romans from a child's point of view. Perfectly aligned to the KS2
curriculum, for those studying the Romans in school.
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...

one. When Mum's new job rewilding wolves means they have to move to
the forest, that changes. Lucy loves being close to nature, but
Alpha wants to follow her dream of basketball glory. They've become
like distant universes, drifting further apart. Then a new wolf cub

bond. But Alpha thinks he should roam free, and she plots to
release him. When news of Claw's disappearance breaks, the future
of the rewilding centre is at stake. Can the Wonder Twins pull
together again to find Claw and heal their differences?
