Do you dare to read the Tales of Terror? A stunning and commercial
new paperback package for this chilling collection of short
stories, illustrated throughout by David Roberts and featuring a
gloriously creepy new cover! Uncle Montague lives alone in a big
house and his regular visits from his nephew give him the
opportunity to retell some of the most frightening stories he
knows. But as the stories unfold, another even more spine-tingling
narrative emerges, one that is perhaps the most frightening of all.
Uncle Montague's tales of terror, it transpires, are not so much
works of imagination as dreadful, lurking memories. Memories of an
earlier time in which Uncle Montague lived a very different life to
his present solitary existence... Can't get enough spooky stories?

High school sophomore Annie Smith is just hoping to live a
normal life after she moves from Arkansas to the quiet little town
of Reston, Texas. But it does not take long for her new friends to
figure out that Annie is anything but normal. Annie's goal is to
fly under the radar drawing as little attention to herself as
possible. But she soon discovers that being normal does not always
bring happiness.
Melinda "Chip" Fullerton is a gifted athlete with two wishes-to
be taller and to be on a good team for once. As she starts her
junior year of high school, it looks like both her wishes will go
unfulfilled-until Annie shows up. Immediately suspicious of Annie's
baggy clothes and athletic abilities, Chip enlists Luke Slowinski,
sports editor for the school newspaper, to do some undercover
sleuth work that eventually reveals the truth: Annie is not who she
appears to be.
This is a story that illustrates the importance of building
character as well as talent, Annie soon learns that a new beginning
is all she needs to finally embrace her true self.
A powerful coming-of-age story about two brothers - one who presents as
white, the other as Black - and the ways they are forced to navigate a
world that doesn't treat them equally.
Donte wishes he were invisible. As one of the few black boys at his
school, he feels as if he is constantly swimming in whiteness. Most of
the students don't look like him. They don't like him either. Dubbed
the 'Black Brother', Donte's teachers and classmates make it clear they
wish he were more like his lighter skinned brother, Trey.
When an incident with a white student leads to Donte's arrest and
suspension, he's sure the only way to get even is to beat the student
at the school's most valued game: fencing.
With the help of a former Olympic fencer, Donte embarks on a journey to
carve out a spot on the school's fencing team and to find a way to make
people at school see past the colour of his skin to who he really is.
From NYT bestselling author Jewell Parker Rhodes, another poignant and
gripping story about how children and families face the complexities of
race and racism in today's world.
'Ok, lads, you have everything you need to win this game. So go out
and do it ,' said the coach. Eoin's not sure if it will be so easy!

before! With new rules to learn, new friends to make and new
teachers to get a handle on, he really doesn't need to have Richie
Duffy, the resident bully, picking him out as his latest target!
And just who is this guy, Brian, who looks so out-of-date, but
gives great rugby advice?
