Albion city is governed by a puppet queen, secretly controlled by Lord Cromwell, and strange magic is afoot as six Guilds all compete to rule it.

Gertie is a prime example of a goose who thinks she knows best but
soon realises the consequences of her actions. However, by this
point, it is too late and she has to use her initiative to get
herself out of a sticky situation. For ages 3-8 years old. This
sweet, entertaining story with beautiful hand drawn illustrations,
helps to reinforce the idea that children's parents or guardians
often know what is best for them, and when asking their children to
do something, it's usually for good reason! This book helps promote
the idea of the wisdom of elders, whilst growing independence and
confidence in one's own abilities, in a bedtime story that everyone
can enjoy.
Stella never meant to fall for the lead singer of the Heartbreakers, but a chance encounter is making her rethink everything – including her own dreams. When I met Oliver Perry, I had no clue he was the lead singer for The Heartbreakers. And he had no idea that I was the only girl in the world who hated his music. Stella will do anything for her sick sister, Cara – even stand in line for autographed Heartbreakers merch…for four hours. She's totally winning best birthday gift this year. At least she met a cute boy with soft brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes while getting her caffeine fix. Too bad she'll never see him again. Except, Stella's life has suddenly turned into a cheesy love song. Because Starbucks Boy is Oliver Perry – lead singer for The Heartbreakers. And even after she calls his music crap, Oliver still gives Stella his phone number. And whispers quotes from her favorite Disney movie in her ear. OMG, what is her life? But how can Stella even think about being with Oliver – dating and laughing and pulling pranks with the band – when her sister could be dying of cancer? From Wattpad hit to globally-adored young adult romance, The Heartbreakers kicks off a delightful tale that perfectly balances humour, heart and romance. Fun, heartfelt and unafraid to tackle deeper issues, this is the binge-worthy YA hit as its known and loved – now in a beautiful new package!
