"These aren't poems to read aloud, but to look at and laugh at
together, with young children and especially older readers, who
will enjoy the surprise of what words look like and what can be
done with them." --BOOKLIST (starred review)
Concrete poems startle and delight the eye and mind. The size and
arrangement of words and letters can add or alter meaning --
forming a poem that takes the shape of crows that fly off the page
or becoming a balloon filled with rhyme, drifting away from
outstretched hands. Here, in a single extraordinary volume, are
thirty poems from some of the world's finest visual poets,
including John Hollander, Emmett Williams, Maureen W. Armour, and
Douglas Florian. New to the paperback edition, tucked inside the
front cover, are tips, guidelines, and inspiration for writing your
own concrete poems.

Shy boy Amadeo reigns supreme at table football in his local cafe.
Taking on all comers he is one of "the unbeatables" with his loyal
team of tiny foosballers. But there's another "unbeatable" in town.
Aggrieved by his only ever defeat at the hands of Amadeo in a
foosball match when they were kids, Flash the town bully returns to
seek revenge. Not only does he destroy the foosball table, but he
challenges Amadeo to a game of actual football. Amadeo has never
played real football - and Flash, with his insatiable quest for
glory, has subsequently risen to become the world's most famous
soccer star. With the future of the village at stake and his
foosballers scattered, the situation looks hopeless for Amadeo.
Unless he can recruit the help of his eccentric fellow villagers
and the girl he loves, Lara, to take on the world's best football
team captained by his nemesis Flash. And unless the foossballers
can be reunited. "It'll be like Barcelona against a non-league team
with an injury crisis," predicts Lara. What nobody predicts,
however, is how Amadeo's foosballers will affect the game...The
Unbeatables novel is the ultimate fantasy football story.Expanding
upon the original movie, the novel includes additional adventures
and characters. Written for young adults (and not so young adults),
the book is a scintillating, action-packed 90 minutes of end-to-end
incident, comedic flair, goalmouth scrambles and dubious off the
ball challenges on the ethos of the modern game

From the incredible imagination of Chris Smith - bestselling author
and now a major new solo talent - comes an extraordinary accidental
adventure for fans of Cressida Cowell and Pixar's Onward. Frankie
Best is not happy. She's stuck at Grandad's with her annoyingly
nerdy brother Joel for a whole week while her parents swan off to
the Arctic. Things take a turn for the worse when Grandad gets
kidnapped by gnoblins (no, that is not spelt incorrectly) forcing
Frankie to embark on a rescue mission across a magical realm filled
with strange creatures, dangerous enemies and - worst of all -
absolutely no WiFi. Frankie did have big plans to watch YouTube and
eat pot noodles that weekend but it looks like she'll just have to

A boy notices his classmate is always alone. He starts hanging out
with her only to find that at the start of the next week, she loses
her memory. He resolves to befriend her each week.
