Welcome back to the FAYZ! This is Book 2 in the series that Stephen
King calls a 'driving, torrential narrative'. An uneasy calm has
settled over Perdido Beach. But soon, fear explodes into
desperation as food supplies dwindle and starvation sets in. More
and more kids are developing strange powers and, just as
frighteningly, so are the animals in the FAYZ: talking coyotes,
swimming bats and deadly worms with razor-sharp teeth are just the
beginning. For Sam Temple the strain of leadership is beginning to
show and he's got more than just dwindling rations and in-fighting
to worry about - Caine is back with the psychotic whiphand, Drake,
by his side. And deep in the ground, the biggest danger of all is
getting hungry . . . The GONE series is Lord of the Flies for the
21st century. In turns breathtaking, harrowing, and utterly
terrifying. Its complex characters and moral dilemmas will delight
fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Maze Runner. This is
dystopian fiction at its best. Have you got all 6 titles in the New
York Times bestselling saga?: Gone Hunger Lies Plague Fear Light 'I
am now free to leave the FAYZ, but my time there was well spent'

Featuring a silver-foil-embossed cloth cover, a ribbon marker and
sprayed silver edges, this gorgeous volume is filled with beautiful
illustrations and precise notes detailing the secret life of
mermaids. In 1872, intrepid (fictional) explorer Darcy Delamare
disguised herself as a man to claim a place on board the (real
life) scientific expedition of the HMS Challenger. She made a
record of her findings on the trip, recounting the extraordinary
sea creatures she witnessed: creatures that, until now, nobody had
believed really existed... mermaids! Following on from the
beautiful A Natural History of Fairies and A Natural History of
Magick, this beautifully illustrated vintage album is filled with
descriptions and illustrations of Delamare's findings, from tales
of mermaids in ancient lore to more recent sightings as well as
facts on the beliefs and superstitions surrounding these elusive
creatures. Children will delight in discovering the anatomy,
behaviour and lifecycles of the Merfolk and how they have hidden
themselves from human discovery over millennia. Pore over the
anatomy of tails, learn how these mysterious creatures communicate
and immerse yourself in their underwater world. The Folklore Field
Guides series is a charming collection of beautifully illustrated
handbooks on topics of lore and legend. Fascinating facts are
accompanied by breathtaking illustrations, all presented in an
engaging narrative form.
