The perfect companion book to the New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series I Am Number Four: The Lost Files: Hidden Enemy is a collection of three action-packed novellas by bestselling author Pittacus Lore Originally published as the e-novellas Five's Legacy, Return to Paradise, and Five's Betrayal, now, for the first time ever, they are together in one print volume.

Five's Legacy tells the story of Five's early years on Earth when he was just a young teen on the run, discovering his abilities and making the wrong kind of friends.

Return to Paradise picks up in the aftermath of the Mog attack on Ohio and follows Mark James as he struggles between returning to a normal life and helping John Smith and the others.

Five's Betrayal is the exhilarating continuation of Five's story, in which he joins the Mogadorian ranks and must demonstrate his allegiance to them by helping to destroy the other Lorien survivors.

You know the truth about the Mogadorians' invasion of Earth and the Garde who will do anything to defeat them--yet there is still so much to learn. The stories in Hidden Enemy will help you get the answers you seek, but they will not help you stop the coming war. Only the Garde can save our planet.

The Cool Nguni is one of the winners in the Ibby Exclusive Books Children's Book Competition. The next title in the series is called "The long trousers", which is also about 'Gaps' the Cool Nguni calf. He is called Gaps because his hide looks like the gaps between the branches of a tree. In this new story, we find Gaps in the midst of frantic, colourful wedding preparations. His bug sister is about to get married. Now Gaps faces another problem: Father Nguni Bull has given him a brand new pair of trousers to wear to the wedding, but they are much too long! Gaps ask every cow in his family to shorten the trousers, but they are all too busy preparing for the wedding. Gaps gives up and goes to bed, leaving his trousers lying in the kitchen. Very early the next morning, as the cows enter the kitchen, they see the neglected trousers, and each in turn shortens them, with hilarious results. But Gaps comes out tops yet again!

These 'Edventures' were written by seven-year-old Edward ('Eddie') John Gregg in creative writing at junior school. Edward loved books and had a very vivid imagination, as you will see. The stories range from the simple observation of two fox cubs in a field, 'with fur like a ginger biscuit', to space travel and escaping from 'the Valley of Doom'. The illustrations are by Edward's Uncle John (Gregg) from his home in Picton, Prince Edward County, Canada. These add life to the amazing 'Edventures'. Very sadly, after a short illness, Edward lost his battle with leukaemia. He was 24. All proceeds from the book will go to the charity Blood Cancer UK.
