'Magical in every sense of the word' Eoin Colfer Step into the
magical world of Hedgewitch, where the land of Faerie lies just
beyond our own, in this enchanting new series for children age 9+
and readers of Nevermoor, The Worst Witch and The Dark Is Rising.
Cassie Morgan has run away. After seven years spent waiting for her
mother to return, she flees her dreary boarding school and sets out
to find her. But the world outside her school is full of hidden
magic and children have been going missing. With the help of a
talking cat and a flying broom, Cassie escapes to the enchanted
village of Hedgely. There she will begin her training in the
practical skills of witchcraft with the Hedgewitch, who watches
over the Hedge, the vast forest that marks the border between
England and Faerie. Will Cassie discover the truth about her
mother? Can she find the lost faery treasures before the wicked Erl
King gets his hands on them? And what will it take to save her new
home - and Britain itself - from the shadowing magic of Faerie?
'There are only two sorts of fantasy story: the ones that feel fake
and the ones that feel real. It's hard to explain the difference
but you know the real ones when you read them, and Hedgewitch is
one of them' Philip Reeve Nominated for the Yoto Carnegie Medal for
Writing
Two girls meet on a train journey. One of them - privileged, chaotic - is heading to an exclusive Swiss rehab centre following months of partying and living wildly. The other - who couldn't be more different - is down to her last penny, running away. When they get off the train they are both pretending to be the other. Just for a short period, of course. Just until the rehab stint is over . . .

Few books have been as universally cherished by children and adults
alike as The Little Prince. A beautiful slip-cased gift edition of
this touching and wise classic children's book, with the original
translation by Katherine Woods and full-colour illustrations. A
pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see the most
extraordinary little fellow standing before him. “Please…’
asks the stranger, “draw me a sheep…’ And the pilot realises
that when life’s events are too difficult to understand, there is
no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out a pencil
and paper … and thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that,
in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has
changed the world forever for its readers. This stunning new
edition of the classic children's book The Little Prince, includes
the classic English translation by Katherine Woods and original
colour illustrations which will capture the hearts of readers of
all ages. Featuring bonus non-fiction content, exploring the
history of The Little Prince, the real-life plane crash that
inspired the story, the life of the author and more! Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) was born in Lyons, France. He wrote The
Little Prince in the United States during a two-year self-imposed
exile from occupied France. A year after the book’s publication
in 1943, Saint-Exupéry disappeared over the Mediterranean while
flying a reconnaissance mission for his French air squadron. Best
known throughout the world as the author and illustrator of The
Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry wrote several other books that have
also become classics of world literature. Katherine Woods
(1886-1968) produced the original English translation of The Little
Prince in 1943. It was later followed by several other English
translations, but her classic translation is treasured by fans and
is often considered to be the definitive English translation. Her
poetic translation perfectly captures the enchantment and charm of
Saint-Exupéry’s storytelling.
