The third beastly book in the deliciously gruesome and hilarious
series by Jack Meggitt-Phillips, perfect for little beasts aged
8-12. 'Reads like a modern classic. Sharp, funny, original - I
thought this was brilliant', Sam Copeland, bestselling author of
Charlie Changes into a Chicken on The Beast and the Bethany The
beast, who has tried to eat Bethany twice and controlled Ebenezer
Tweezer for 511 years, is now in prison. Even better, it seems to
have lost its despicable mind and is pinky-winky promising to be a
do-gooding beast, vomit out helpful gifts, and be besties with
Bethany and Ebenezer. There's really no sign of the old beast at
all any more, as long as you don't count that hungry belly which
still needs feeding... Outrageously funny and deliciously dark,
this series is perfect for readers aged 8-12 and fans of Roald Dahl
and Lemony Snicket
'Everyone should read Frances Hardinge. Everyone. Right now.'
Patrick Ness Cuckoo Song by Frances Hardinge, Costa Award winning
author of The Lie Tree, is a fantastically eerie and beautifully
written novel, and was shortlisted for the prestigious Carnegie
Medal. The first things to shift were the doll's eyes, the
beautiful grey-green glass eyes. Slowly they swivelled, until their
gaze was resting on Triss's face. Then the tiny mouth moved, opened
to speak. 'What are you doing here?' It was uttered in tones of
outrage and surprise, and in a voice as cold and musical as the
clinking of cups. 'Who do you think you are? This is my family.'
When Triss wakes up after an accident, she knows that something is
very wrong. She is insatiably hungry; her sister seems scared of
her and her parents whisper behind closed doors. She looks through
her diary to try to remember, but the pages have been ripped out.
Soon Triss discovers that what happened to her is more strange and
terrible than she could ever have imagined, and that she is quite
literally not herself. In a quest find the truth she must travel
into the terrifying Underbelly of the city to meet a twisted
architect who has dark designs on her family - before it's too late
. . .
Stephen King once called Neil Gaiman 'a treasure-house of stories' and in this wonderful novel, which has been likened to both Alice in Wonderland and the Narnia Chronicles, we get to see Neil at his storytelling best. Neil Gaiman is the author of many highly imaginative graphic novels and works of fiction for adults. He began working on Coraline over ten years ago and it is his first book for children. Neil is a British author living and working in Minneapolis, USA. As well as writing books, Neil writes screenplays and is working on a film version of Coraline. His new book, Wolves In The Walls, will be published in September.

Factory shut down, Kettle Springs has cracked in half. On one side
