The third and final adventure in Benjamin Read and Laura Trinder's
magical Midnight Hour series! 'A fantastic magical adventure
featuring a cast of Ghibli-esque characters, a feisty heroine and a
hedgehog. I loved it.' M.G. LEONARD, author of BEETLE BOY on book 1
'Fans of Nevermoor will love this' THE BOOKSELLER on book 1 'I
haven't enjoyed this kind of caper so much since Harry Potter' NEW
STATESMAN on book 1 'Pure delight' THE GUARDIAN ON BOOK 1 Emily is
locked out of the Midnight Hour, and things have grown dangerously
dark in Victorian London. Her friends and family are on the run
from the terrifying Midnight Hunt, while the foul Make Britain Dark
Again party schemes to break the spell that keeps both worlds safe.
It's going to take more than just Emily's big mouth to fix this
one. But how's a girl meant to save the day (and night) when she's
all out of snacks and her possibly-magic pocket hedgehog is
hibernating? The ingeniously-plotted finale to the much-loved
Midnight Hour trilogy, which began with The Midnight Hour and The
Midnight Howl A hilarious, spooky adventure full of genuine scares
and belly laughs! Coraline meets A Wrinkle in Time: all the makings
of a modern classic
"Adults squirm when the big questions come up, especially the big
spiritual ones. They don't want their kids to worry, so they give
answers that all say one thing: 'Don't worry. It's all okay.'
"And yet the big questions still keep coming up. At every age we
all need to know what life is really all about. Not just on the
surface, but deep down.
"Teenagers are no exception. They deserve a spiritual life all
their own. One that offers the kind of comfort we hope to give our
children, but is different at the same time. More full of ideas.
More mature. More fitting for the whole wide future that lies
ahead.
"That's what I've tried to do in this book, as fully and as
honestly as possible."
-- "Deepak Chopra"

A young, enthusiastic student of marine life takes the readers on a
quest to discover the fantasy creatures that live in the sea. The
children will read her diary, filled with information, legends and
details. Tips are also intended for all sea life lovers to do their
part and keep the ocean clean and defend the kingdom of its
creatures that today, more than ever, is threatened by dangerous,
irresponsible behaviour. Two sections dedicated to the underwater
creatures: those who live on the surface and those who live in the
abysses. Short, fun, approachable stories that describe each
creature and explain how to catch sight of it, how to tame it and
what makes it angry At the end of the story, the readers will find
a short test, similar to the one the book's narrator must take, so
that they'll get their Certificate of Fantastic Creatures Keeper,
that children can detach from the book and fill in.

BEING A SUPERHERO IS THE BEST THING EVER, RIGHT? WRONG!
HELLO! My name is PIZAZZ and I’m a superhero . . . You probably think that’s really AWESOME, and while it can be, it’s also REEEEEEEAAALLLLY annoying.
I guess it was sort of going OK (I say, “sort of” – I still have to wear a silly cape and save the world all the time) until this NEW KID showed up, and started WOWING everyone with their super powers. Yep, SUPER POWERS – just what this town needs, another super . . . Who just happens to have the coolest name ever: Jett.
And now, because of Serena and her gang of Populars, I have to compete against Jett in an almighty and ultimate SUPER-OFF.
But it’s fine. I mean, even if I lose, there’s space for two SUPERS in this school, isn’t there?!
Hilariously narrated by reluctant superhero Pizazz, and brimming with Sophy’s distinctive illustrations and comic-book strips.
Explore the basic fundamentals of the Zodiac with children,
allowing them to understand all that the night sky has to offer.
Through fun trivia, puzzles, prose, and challenges, this refreshing
workbook provides hours of educational play that can be revisited
over and over. Children will be helped to make sense of the
influences that surround every one of us. For each of the 12
Astrological Zodiacs there are corresponding aspects in different
areas like: their element, planetary ruler, color, stone, and
motto. Even the placement of each Zodiac has significance, as it
was once used as an Astrological calendar. In the Night Sky focuses
on learning to recognize the constellations and their aspects,
hearing more about their stories, and finding how they came to be
and the lessons that they teach.
Phineas Gage was truly a man with a hole in his head. Phineas, a
railroad construction foreman, was blasting rock near Cavendish,
Vermont, in 1848 when a thirteen-pound iron rod was shot through
his brain. Miraculously, he survived to live another eleven years
and become a textbook case in brain science.
At the time, Phineas Gage seemed to completely recover from his
accident. He could walk, talk, work, and travel, but he was
changed. Gage "was no longer Gage," said his Vermont doctor,
meaning that the old Phineas was dependable and well liked, and the
new Phineas was crude and unpredictable.
His case astonished doctors in his day and still fascinates
doctors today. What happened and what didn't happen inside the
brain of Phineas Gage will tell you a lot about how your brain
works and how you act human.
