Grow your heart three sizes-and dazzle your eyes-with this FULL
COLOR edition of the beloved holiday classic How the Grinch Stole
Christmas!-the perfect gift for under the tree and for Dr. Seuss
fans and collectors any time of year! This season of giving, give a
gift that's never been given before-a full color edition of How the
Grinch Stole Christmas! Originally published in 1957 using just 2
different colored inks (red and black), this new, jacketed edition
features Dr. Seuss's original illustrations in full color for the
very first time-the way he'd have likely colored them had he
published the book today! While this edition is not a replacement
for the original, we think it makes a cheerful addition to the Dr.
Seuss canon that is bound to appeal to Dr. Seuss fans of all ages.
PS: The drabness of the Grinch's life in his cave compared to the
happy, vibrant life of the Whos in Who-ville has never been easier
to see!

Norman John Gillies was one of the last children ever born on St
Kilda, five years before the whole population was evacuated forever
to the British mainland. People had lived on these islands for over
four thousand years, developing a thriving, tightly-knit society
that knew nothing of crime or money, and took care of its weakest
members without hesitation. At the mercy of the seasons and the
elements, a unique lifestyle evolved, based around resilience,
mutual trust and caring. What was it like to grow up in such harsh
conditions? Why and how did this ancient way of life suddenly cease
in 1930? Where did the islanders go, and what became of them? And
what became of Norman John, child of St Kilda? Shortlisted for The
CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal 2020.

The highly anticipated second-and final-book in the immersive
fantasy duology inspired by West African folklore that began with
the New York Times bestselling A Song of Wraiths and Ruin, from
author Roseanne A. Brown. Perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi, Renee
Ahdieh, and Sabaa Tahir. Karina lost everything after a violent
coup left her without her kingdom or her throne. Now the most
wanted person in Sonande, her only hope of reclaiming what is
rightfully hers lies in a divine power hidden in the long-lost city
of her ancestors. Meanwhile, the resurrection of Karina's sister
has spiraled the world into chaos, with disaster after disaster
threatening the hard-won peace Malik has found as Farid's
apprentice. When they discover that Karina herself is the key to
restoring balance, Malik must use his magic to lure her back to
their side. But how do you regain the trust of someone you once
tried to kill? As the fabric holding Sonande together begins to
tear, Malik and Karina once again find themselves torn between
their duties and their desires. And when the fate of everything
hangs on a single, horrifying choice, they each must decide what
they value most-a power that could transform the world, or a love
that could transform their lives.

of one of South Africa’s most popular rugby stars, written
specifically for young readers.
Early on in his life, Siya discovered that rugby could be his route
out of the grinding poverty in which he had grown up in the

managed to secure a scholarship to the prestigious Grey High
School. But he had to adapt quickly to a world he had never
encountered, while keeping his roots in the community that he
knew and loved.
His hard work and natural ability saw him moving to Cape Town to
join the Stormers, trying to break into the Springbok team, and
learning to adjust to life at the top of the game that is a national
obsession.
Siya Kolisi is part of the ‘Road to Glory’ series, which covers some
of South Africa’s sporting legends as they set out on their journeys
to becoming national and international stars.
This book explores what life was really like for everyday people in

archeological discoveries, it uncovers some fascinating insights
and explodes some myths. Supported by timelines, maps and
references to important events and people, children will really
feel they are on a time-travelling journey when reading this book.
