The Story of the Amulet(1906) is a children's fantasy novel by
English writer Edith Nesbit. The final book in Nesbit's beloved
Psammead Trilogy-which also includes Five Children and It (1902)
and The Phoenix and the Carpet (1904)-The Story of the Amulet is a
tale of time travel, adventure, and the power of imagination.
Described by American critic Gore Vidal as "a story of considerable
beauty," The Story of the Amulet follows a group of children who
use the powers of an Egyptian artifact to travel through time in
order to bring their family back together. Siblings Robert, Anthea,
Cyril, and Jane live in central London with an old Nurse named Mrs.
Green and her boarder, an Egyptologist named Jimmy. Their father, a
war correspondent, has traveled to Manchuria for work, while their
mother has taken their youngest brother to the Madeira islands off
the coast of Portugal in order to recover from an illness. One day,
the children go to the markets near the British Museum, where
strange and rare objects are sold daily. There, they find their old
friend "It," the sand fairy known as the Psammead, who has been
captured and is up for sale as an exotic monkey. The children free
It, who advises them to purchase a magical Egyptian amulet with the
power of time travel. Hoping to use the amulet to reunite their
family, the children journey across time to such places as Babylon,
Egypt, Tyre, and ancient England in search of the missing piece
that will allow them to fulfill their wish. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of Edith Nesbit's The Story of the Amulet is a classic of English
children's literature reimagined for modern readers.
A thrilling, unputdownable adventure, from the highly-acclaimed
author of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize-shortlisted Orion
Lost and the Blackwell's Children's Book of the Year, Adam-2. The
world of Colony is in ruins. No one knows what caused society to
begin tearing itself apart - but the secret may lie with Cora, a
girl living on the mountainside far away from others. Cora
possesses an extraordinary gift: the power to see back in time,
from an event back to its causes. Even more incredibly, sometimes
she can change events. But the present is looking for Cora, and she
is forced on the run - and must decide who she is, what she can do
... and how to fix the future. With incredible twists and turns,
and a hugely gripping story, The Consequence Girl is a
brilliantly-imagined, ambitious and high-concept adventure from one
of the most exciting new voices in children's fantasy and science
fiction.
REBORN is the gripping sequel to the apocalyptic thriller REMADE,
by bestselling author of the Timeriders series, Alex Scarrow.
Eighteen months have passed since the events of REMADE. Leon and
Freya have seen no sign of the virus, clinging on to the hope that
two hard winters may have just killed it off. When news of a rescue
ship arriving off the coast comes in, the pair are on the move once
again. But all is not as safe as it seems. The virus has been busy.
It has learned and evolved. And now it is reborn . . . This book
has also been published in paperback as Plague Nation.

Red Queen meets The Hunger Games in this epic novel about what happens when a senator's daughter is summoned to the galactic court as a hostage, but she's really the galaxy's most dangerous weapon in disguise.
A Diabolic is ruthless. A Diabolic is powerful. A Diabolic has a single task: Kill in order to protect the person you've been created for.
Nemesis is a Diabolic, a humanoid teenager created to protect a galactic senator's daughter, Sidonia. The two have grown up side by side, but are in no way sisters. Nemesis is expected to give her life for Sidonia, and she would do so gladly. She would also take as many lives as necessary to keep Sidonia safe.
When the power-mad Emperor learns Sidonia's father is participating in a rebellion, he summons Sidonia to the Galactic court. She is to serve as a hostage. Now, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia. She must become her. Nemesis travels to the court disguised as Sidonia--a killing machine masquerading in a world of corrupt politicians and two-faced senators' children. It's a nest of vipers with threats on every side, but Nemesis must keep her true abilities a secret or risk everything.
As the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer, Nemesis learns there is something more to her than just deadly force. She finds a humanity truer than what she encounters from most humans. Amidst all the danger, action, and intrigue, her humanity just might be the thing that saves her life--and the empire.
