In his new verse novel, Joseph Coelho brilliantly blends Greek myth
with a 21st century quest. In Ancient Greece Theseus makes a
dangerous and courageous journey to find his father, finally
meeting the Minotaur in the Labyrinth. While Theo, a modern-day
teenage boy, finds himself on a maze-like quest to find his own
father. Each story tells of a boy becoming a man and discovering
what true manhood really means. The path to self-discovery takes
Theo through 'those thin spaces where myth, magic and reality
combine'. Doubts, difficulties and dangers must be faced as Theo
discovers the man he will become.

Packed full of stupendously silly, fantastically funny and hysterically hilarious poems, this brilliant anthology is edited by exciting young poet, Joshua Seigal. Featuring a diverse range of contributors and some brand new poems from Joshua himself, this book is perfect for anyone who needs a giggle or a belly laugh!
Joshua's first book, I Don't Like Poetry was shortlisted for the 2017 Laugh Out Loud Awards (the UK's only prize for funny children's books) and this book is a marvellous mixture of his subversive humour and insight into the world of children.
'Thy Servant a Dog and other Dog stories' brings together a
delightful selection of Kipling short stories and poems. The first
three tales, Thy Servant a Dog, The Great Play Hunt and Toby Dog,
are narrated by the Black Aberdeen Terrier Boots, and concern the
adventures of himself and his canine friends Slippers, Ravager and
Toby, their wars with Kitchen Cat and their incomprehension of the
ways of the humans in their lives. A Sea Dog is a nautical tale
about Malachi, who sees action in the North Sea, and Teem - a
Treasure-Hunter tells of a little French dog with a nose for
truffles. The collection also includes three poems, The
Supplication of the Black Aberdeen, His Apologies and The Power of
the Dog (included for the first time). This new edition includes
many of the original charming black-and-white illustrations by G.
L. Stampa and Cecil Aldin and is sure to entertain a whole new
generation of children and dog-lovers.
