In a world built for Perfect Pets, Barnabus is a Failed Project,
half mouse, half elephant, kept out of sight until his dreams of
freedom lead him and his misfit friends on a perilous adventure. A
stunning picture book from international bestsellers The Fan
Brothers, joined by their brother Devin Fan. Deep underground
beneath Perfect Pets, where children can buy genetically engineered
"perfect" creatures, there is a secret lab. Barnabus and his
friends live in this lab, but none of them are perfect. They are
all Failed Projects. Barnabus has never been outside his tiny bell
jar, yet he dreams of one day seeing the world above ground that
his pal Pip the cockroach has told him about: a world with green
hills and trees, and buildings that reach all the way to the sky,
lit with their own stars. But Barnabus may have to reach the
outside world sooner than he thought, because the Green Rubber
Suits are about to recycle all Failed Projects . . . and Barnabus
doesn't want to be made into a fluffier pet with bigger eyes. He
just wants to be himself. So he decides it's time for he and the
others to escape. With his little trunk and a lot of cooperation
and courage, Barnabus sets out to find freedom - and a place where
he and his friends can finally be accepted for who they are. This
suspenseful, poignant and magical story about following your dreams
and finding where you truly belong will draw readers into a
surreal, lushly detailed world in which perfection really means
being true to yourself and your friends. 'A stately, cathartic
morality tale about freeing oneself from the tyranny of wanting to
be perfect.' -The Financial Times 'ingeniously imaginative' -
School Library Journal 'A heartfelt, timely allegory celebrating
diversity, bravery, and solidarity.'- Kirkus

Few books have been as universally cherished by children and adults
alike as The Little Prince. A beautiful slip-cased gift edition of
this touching and wise classic children's book, with the original
translation by Katherine Woods and full-colour illustrations. A
pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see the most
extraordinary little fellow standing before him. “Please…’
asks the stranger, “draw me a sheep…’ And the pilot realises
that when life’s events are too difficult to understand, there is
no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out a pencil
and paper … and thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that,
in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has
changed the world forever for its readers. This stunning new
edition of the classic children's book The Little Prince, includes
the classic English translation by Katherine Woods and original
colour illustrations which will capture the hearts of readers of
all ages. Featuring bonus non-fiction content, exploring the
history of The Little Prince, the real-life plane crash that
inspired the story, the life of the author and more! Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) was born in Lyons, France. He wrote The
Little Prince in the United States during a two-year self-imposed
exile from occupied France. A year after the book’s publication
in 1943, Saint-Exupéry disappeared over the Mediterranean while
flying a reconnaissance mission for his French air squadron. Best
known throughout the world as the author and illustrator of The
Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry wrote several other books that have
also become classics of world literature. Katherine Woods
(1886-1968) produced the original English translation of The Little
Prince in 1943. It was later followed by several other English
translations, but her classic translation is treasured by fans and
is often considered to be the definitive English translation. Her
poetic translation perfectly captures the enchantment and charm of
Saint-Exupéry’s storytelling.

Tally was once the most famous rebel in the world. But for over a
decade, she's kept to the shadows, allowing her myth to grow even

created a stable world. Freedom, she observes, has a way of
destroying things. As the world is propelled further into conflict
and conspiracy, Frey and Tally join forces to put a check on the
people in power, while still trying to understand their own power
and where it belongs. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and
Divergent Fans of The Uglies will delight in seeing main character
