How a little kid from Dublin became a world champion boxer. Bernard
Dunne tells his own story in his own words: for children! Growing
up in Neilstown, west Dublin, Bernard Dunne was always going to be
a boxer. His Dad Brendan was an Olympic boxer in his day, and
coached in the CIE club in Inchicore, and his two big brothers were
skilled boxers too. As Bernard grew up boxing taught him to believe
in himself and helped him to focus on goals both within the sport
and in other parts of his life. Bernard won his first boxing bout,
at the age of six and against a ten-year-old, and went on to win
thirteen Irish championship titles. In this inspirational book,
Bernard describes life as a boy in Neilstown, the ups and downs of
his life and career, and the powerful life lessons and skills that
sport can teach a child.

Stevie Bell solved the case of Truly Devious, and now she's taking
her detecting skills abroad when she becomes embroiled in a mystery
from 1990s England. Another pulse-pounding and laugh-out-loud
stand-alone mystery from New York Times bestselling author Maureen
Johnson. Senior year at Ellingham Academy for Stevie Bell isn't
going well. Her boyfriend, David, is studying in London. Her
friends are obsessed with college applications. With the cold case
of the century solved, Stevie is adrift. There is nothing to
distract her from the questions pinging around her brain-questions
about college, love, and life in general. Relief comes when David
invites Stevie and her friends to join him for study abroad, and
his new friend Izzy introduces her to a double-murder cold case. In
1995, nine friends from Cambridge University went to a country
house and played a drunken game of hide-and-seek. Two were found in
the woodshed the next day, murdered with an ax. The case was
assumed to be a burglary gone wrong, but one of the remaining seven
saw something she can't explain. This was no break-in. Someone's
lying about what happened in the woodshed. Seven suspects. Two
murders. One killer still playing a deadly game.
