When fifteen-year-old Kyle Dunlop discovers two gold coins near the
entrance to a seaside cave, he can hardly wait to look inside to
find the rest of the treasure. However, instead of unearthing a
pirate's hoard, Kyle and his three friends stumble upon a secret,
subterranean world inhabited by goblins, elves, trolls, and other
fantastic creatures.
As strangers in this unusual world, Kyle and his companions are
detained by goblins until they are able to convince the Goblin King
that their intentions are honorable. With his suspicions allayed,
the king holds a feast for his guests and, afterwards, he presents
Kyle with a gift and a golden opportunity. Seemingly overcome by
greed, Kyle exchanges one like gift for another and unwittingly
unleashes a curse that sends him on a journey like no other he has
ever been on. It's a race against time and Kyle has to either break
the curse or forfeit his life.
Join Kyle and his companions as they come face to face with a
carnivorous razorback, encounter gigantic, man-eating spiders,
battle a sea serpent, play havoc with an army of invading giants,
and flee from an angry, fire-breathing dragon-all intent on
stopping them from reaching Darkalfheim in time.

A hilarious middle-grade road-trip adventure from bestselling author, comedian, and presenter Danny Wallace, with illustrations throughout from Gemma Correll. Perfect for fans of Liz Pichon and David Baddiel!
Imagine if all the technology in the world just . . . STOPPED.
When ten-year-old Stella wakes up to discover a world full of BLANK screens, her family, town, and in fact the whole world seems to have been thrown into chaos. And what about poor Grandma who is stranded at the other end of the country?
Cue a rollicking madcap road trip, full of driving disasters and family fallouts, as they set off on a rescue mission. And along the way Stella and her family discover that being away from screens might not be the Worst Thing Ever, and even though they might not be able to rely on technology anymore, they can rely on each other instead.
SHADOW CHILDREN
Luke has never been to school. He's never had a birthday party,
or gone to a friend's house for an overnight. In fact, Luke has
never had a friend.
Luke is one of the shadow children, a third child forbidden by
the Population Police. He's lived his entire life in hiding, and
now, with a new housing development replacing the woods next to his
family's farm, he is no longer even allowed to go outside.
Then, one day Luke sees a girl's face in the window of a house
where he knows two other children already live. Finally, he's met a
shadow child like himself. Jen is willing to risk everything to
come out of the shadows -- does Luke dare to become involved in her
dangerous plan? Can he afford not to?
