Will Jakeman is the inventor of the world-famous Marvellous
Mechanimals - brilliant mechanical animals that defend people from
all the dangerous creatures that inhabited their home. At the ripe
old age of 99 and three quarters, Will decides he must try to
discover the whereabouts of Ureker, the lost planet of his birth
invaded by Reptoids, a gang of merciless Space Pirates, when he was
still a little baby. Will builds a giant telescope that can see far
out into the cosmos - but what he doesn't realise is that his
fiddling with the fabric of the cosmos causes a massive
space-quake, and a ten-year-old boy called Charlie Small is
catapulted through the hole and lands near Will's factory of
inventions. The two embark on a series of adventures trying to get
Charlie home - will they succeed or will they be left dangling in
space forever?

"One of the most extraordinary works of fantasy, for adults or
children, published so far this century."--Time magazine, on the
Fairyland series
Twelve-year-old September lives in Omaha, and used to have an
ordinary life, until her father went to war and her mother went to
work. One day, September is met at her kitchen window by a Green
Wind (taking the form of a gentleman in a green jacket), who
invites her on an adventure, implying that her help is needed in
Fairyland. The new Marquess is unpredictable and fickle, and also
not much older than September. Only September can retrieve a

doesn't . . . then the Marquess will make life impossible for the
inhabitants of Fairyland. September is already making new friends,
including a book-loving Wyvern and a mysterious boy named Saturday.

Uglies series – the global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend.
In Tally’s world, looks are all that matters. And now that she’s

But beneath the fun of non-stop parties, high-tech luxury and apparent

wrong. Something important. Then a message from her ‘Ugly’ past
arrives, forcing Tally to remember the truth she learned before her
transformation, and the fun stops cold. Because the true price of this
perfect world is more than Tally is willing to pay…

In the small town of Pottsville, boredom comes easily to
mischievous twins Jasmin and Jesse Thomas. One dull Friday night
the twins decide to camp out in their backyard, and sneak out to
the bogs over by Potts Field to find out whether they can hear any
bog monsters. While searching for bog monsters, the twins become
hopelessly lost. Suddenly they hear a loud bang, followed by a
bright ball of light flying just above the treetops and making a
loud whistling sound. Jasmin and Jesse watch as a strange aircraft
crashes into the woods. While searching for survivors of the crash,
the twins encounter an alien visitor, who incessantly repeats
everything they say. Once the twins recover from their shock at
encountering Orfin Kojumbobababul, or Orfin Bob, as they call him,
the adventures begin. From a near-deadly fall in a cave, to
blasting through asteroid fields in a spaceship, and fending off an
attack by the evil Haywardians, the action doesn't stop for a
moment. "Orfin Bob and the Thomas Twins" is a thrill ride right up
to the very last page.
