In 1975, under a bed in an old house in Tarrytown, New York, an
unearthly tome entitled Ghostology was discovered, wrapped in a
substance, later found to be ectoplasm. It is the life's work and
study of American ghostologist Lucinda Curtle, who mysteriously
passed to the Other Side during a seance. After her death,
Ghostology seemingly became haunted by the ghost of Lucinda
herself, who now wants to keep the secrets of the dead A SECRET.
Now published, ghostwritten by Dugald Steer, the world itself can
decide if Ghostology - purporting to tell the truth about ghosts -
was solid fact or insubstantial fiction. Delve into the wealth of
information and learn about different types of ghosts, ghosts
around the world and ghost through history; haunted houses, ships
and other objects (including books); the ghostologist's field kit;
psychics and mediums; fakes and frauds; test your ghostological
knowledge on one of Lucinda's own case studies. Complete with a
jewel in the cover, as well as letters, booklets, sealed pages,
flaps, a moving wheel novelty and glow in the dark ink.
Meet sparring snow leopards, sprinting cheetahs, and slumbering
jaguars in this book about the biggest cats on Earth. Follow pumas
and cheetahs as they roar, hunt, fight, and play their way through
the day. Wildlife expert Tyus D. Williams cleverly weaves the story
in the style of a nature documentary, including gentle science
explanations perfect for future zoologists.

NOW WITH REVOLTING EXCLUSIVE BONUS CONTENT!!!
A wickedly funny and prank-filled adventure starring one of Roald Dahl’s most hilarious and popular creations, The Twits.
This brand-new and deliciously revolting story is brilliantly written by internationally bestselling authors and children’s literacy advocates Greg James and Chris Smith and illustrated by Emily Jones.
Mr and Mrs Twit are just about as nasty and revolting as two people can get. The only thing that brings the two of them pleasure is playing pranks on one another.
But, when a new family called the Lovelies move in next door, with their lively 10-year-old twins, they teach The Twits to stop being so mean and horrible and they all live happily ever after . . .
Ha! Not really. The Twits HATE the Lovelies.
But how far will The Twits go to rid themselves of their horribly nice new neighbours? And what happens when these new neighbours, who are armed with utter loveliness, start to fight back?
