A striking and unique story perfect for little people interested in
climate awareness and looking after nature. McDarkly lives quietly
all on his own, growing orchids in his dank swamp, until one day
his peace is disturbed by an arrogant king who wants to turn the
swamp into a roller-skate park. McDarkly has ten days to prove that
the swamp isn't damp and dark, but an enchanted world. Can he do
it, or will he risk losing his home forever?
Disney's Brave meets Dav Pilkey's Dog Man in this side-splitting
graphic novel about a young girl who has to rescue her fellow
warriors from the evil villain Witch Head before he destroys the
world! Perfect for readers aged 6+ and fans of Bunny Vs Monkey.
Barb is a Berzerker, one of a group of warriors sworn to protect
the land of Bailiwick from monsters. But the fearsome crew soon
meet their match in the evil villain Witch Head. Using power from
his magical sword, he tricks the Zerks and takes them captive . . .
All except Barb, who escapes, taking Witch Head's sword with her.
Together, with her best friend, Porkchop the yeti, Barb must free
her fellow warriors so they can stop Witch Head from taking over
the land. On the way, she'll battle vampire goat fiends,
snotgoblins and a giant with serious foot odour issues (but please
don't mention that to him - he's very sensitive about it)! The
deeper Barb gets into her quest, the harder it is to keep the
blade's awesome power under control . . . Will she be able to
rescue her fellow warriors before it's too late?

serve to present information in a contemporary voice. #PREHISTORIC
is a melding of old and new and fun and informative, making
nonfiction incredibly accessible for young readers.
