The astonishing, beautiful new story for all readers of 10 and over from the bestselling and Costa-shortlisted author of TIME TRAVELLING WITH A HAMSTER.
There are stories about people who want to live forever.
This is not one of those stories.
This is a story about someone who wants to stop…
Alfie Monk is like any other nearly teenage boy – except he’s 1,000 years old and can remember the last Viking invasion of England.
Obviously no one believes him.
So when everything Alfie knows and loves is destroyed in a fire, and the modern world comes crashing in, Alfie embarks on a mission to find friendship, acceptance, and a different way to live…
… which means finding a way to make sure he will eventually die.
A prequel to the original Hunger Games trilogy, that explores the origins of a young Coriolanus Snow and his mentor-tribute relationship with Lucy Gray Baird during the 10th Hunger Games.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capital, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined -- every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death.
Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute... and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.
Coco was the shyest little mouse on Comet Island... and one of the
bravest. When he and his friends discover skyorbs on the island,
they realise the sustainable energy source could be the answer to
the climate crisis. Together they set out on an epic adventure
across the globe to get their skyorbs into the hands of world
leaders at COP26. Enlisting the help of their human friends Freya,
Corey and Grandpa Jim, Coco invents the Flytub and they fly to
visit Nessie, head back to the Isle of Skye and even to the Oval
office in Washington D.C. But will the intrepid team make it to
Glasgow in time to save the planet?

'A thrilling journey into a magical world packed with Rob’s
brilliant humour.' - David Walliams Superstar, author and
illustrator Rob Biddulph dazzles in Peanut Jones and the Twelve
Portals. This second title in the funny, exciting adventure series

genius behind #DrawWithRob. Some legends are born, some are drawn .
. . Famous works of art are disappearing from all over the world.
One moment they are there, the next, they have crumbled to dust.

with the magical world of Chroma and the wicked Mr White's plot to
wipe out colour, art and creativity. It's time to head back to the
Illustrated City and help the resistance fight back. Praise for the
first title in the series Peanut Jones and the Illustrated City:
