the Black Swan wants Sophie to focus on their projects. But her
instincts are leading her somewhere else. Stellarlune - and the

truth in the Lost Cities always requires sacrifice. And as the

destroy everything. And in the battle that follows, only one thing
is certain: nothing will ever be the same. Books in the Keeper of

Treehouse, including a word-o-matic (it knows every word in the
whole world!); a recycling depot; a wrecking ball; a deep, dark
cave with a real live, fire-breathing dragon; a complaining room; a
spooky graveyard (where it's always midnight, even in the middle of
the day); and a camping ground where you can have a nice, relaxing
camping holiday. Andy's been a bit stressed, so Terry has decided

camping ground level for a much-needed holiday. But it turns out to
be not quite as relaxing as Terry originally planned . . . Terry
forgets to pack the tent and the food, their attempt at fishing
ends in disaster, the spooky campfire stories are a little too

campers start mysteriously disappearing. Can Andy brave the dark,
dark woods and rescue them in time to finish writing their next
book? Well, what are you waiting for? Come on up!

'A writer of comic genius - he has something of Roald Dahl's magic,
but more heart' - Sunday Telegraph ‘Maybe you don’t believe me.
Maybe you don’t believe in magic. I bet you will by the time
you’ve heard what happened to us.’ Cousins Middy and Nathan
love magic. The on-stage, cape-swirling, bunny-out-of-a-hat kind.
For Middy, it’s all about patience and practice. She uses magic
skills to help her out of tricky situations. Nathan is a show-off
and a total danger magnet, he is drawn to the sensation, spectacle
and audience. So when the famous Blackpool Tower dramatically
vanishes the night of the Grand Lights Switch-On, showman Nathan
announces live on TV that they will magic it back home. With a
stick of rock, a spangly cape, and a bit of misdirection, they end
up lost in Las Vegas, home to the grand master of illusion,
Perplexion, ‘Legend of Magic’. Full of tricks, twists and
deceptions, the delightful Nathan and Middy will keep you guessing
until the very end. Praise for Noah's Gold: 'Sparkly, witty,
enticing storytelling . . . It's perfect' Hilary McKay
Aoife Lennon-Ritchie, literary agent and author, brings out the
first title in her humourous Viking-fantasy teen series, A Viking
Legend: The Violaceous Amethyst.
This winter, siblings Ruairi and Dani Miller visit their
grandmother in the legendary Viking island of Yondersaay. In less
than twenty-four hours of their arrival, Ruairi is mistaken for the
lost Boy King of Denmark, kidnapped by Vikings, and scheduled to be
sacrificed at sundown. Granny isn’t very pleased. But when they are
the only ones in town who fail to go “Viking,” the three turn to
Granny’s extremely epic tales of the legends of Yondersaay, The
Gifts of Odin, and King Dudo the Mightily Impressive for clues.
But not all stories end happily, and Ruari, Dani, and Granny will
have to write their own happy ending if things are to return to
normal. The Princess Bride meets Vikings in this enchanted tale of
high adventure, buried treasure, villainous treachery, violent
ends, and true love.

eyeballs from outer space come to grabinate US!
