'Remember: Demons lie' Locked away inside the fortified walls of
Oxford's St Wilfred's College, surrounded by alchemists sworn to
protect them, Taylor and Sacha are safe from the Darkness. For now.
But time is short. In seven days Sacha will turn 18, and the
ancient curse that once made him invincible will kill him,
unleashing unimaginable demonic horror upon the world. There is one
way to stop it. Taylor and Sacha must go to where the curse was
first cast - the medieval French city of Carcassonne - and face the
demons. The journey will be dangerous. And monsters are waiting for
them. But as Darkness descends on Oxford, their choice is stark.
They must face everything that scares them, or lose everything they
love.
The much anticipated follow-up title from the multi-award winning
author of The Bunker Diary, recipient of the 2014 Carnegie Medal
for an outstanding book for young adults. Elliot is terrified of
almost everything. From the moment he was born, his life has been
governed by acute fear. The only thing that keeps his terrors in
check are the pills that he takes every day. It's Christmas Eve,
there's a snowstorm and Elliot's medication is almost gone. His mum
nips out to collect his prescription. She'll only be 10 minutes -
but shen she doesn't come back, Elliot must face his fears and try
to find her. She should only be 400 metres away. It might as well
be 400 miles... Born Scared joins the ranks of Jennifer Niven's All
the Bright Places, Ned Vizzini's It's Kind of A Funny Story, and
Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why as an example of teen fiction
offering a frank and intelligent portrait of mental illness. Kevin
Brooks was born in 1959. His first novel, Martyn Pig, was
shortlisted for a 2002 Carnegie Medal and won the 2003 Branford
Boase Award. His second novel, Lucas, won the 2004 North East Book
Award. In 2014 his novel The Bunker Diary was awarded the CILIP
Carnegie Medal. Kevin lives in North Yorkshire.
A spine-chilling psychological thriller from stunning talent and
author of The Dead House, Dawn Kurtagich. Sinister and creepily
atmospheric, Dawn's second YA title is sure to grip fans of Stephen
King, Kendare Blake and Juno Dawson. When sisters Silla and Nori
escape London and their abusive father, Aunt Cath's country house
feels like a safe haven. But slowly, ever so slowly, things begin
to unravel. Aunt Cath locks herself in the attic and spends day and
night pacing. Every day the forbidden surrounding forest inches
slowly towards the house. A mysterious boy appears, offering
friendship. And Nori claims that a man watches them from the dark
forest - a man with no eyes, who creeps ever closer. . .
Schoolgirl by day, cat burglar by night . . . Scarlet McCall is on
her most dangerous mission yet. A cursed dagger has fallen into the
hands of master criminal, Delgado. Now Scar must retrieve it before
Delgado unleashes its power with a deadly sacrifice. It's a daring
mission, but Scar is no ordinary thief: she has the ability to
transform into wild animals - the problem is, she can't always
control her mysterious powers. Can Scar use her stealth, cunning,
and shapeshifting abilities to steal the dagger, and be back in
time for school on Monday? Tamsin Cooke's action-packed follow up
to the amazing Cat Burglar.
