again. Betty's potion-making starts tonight! And potions need
ingredients - ingredients that can only be found in the WILD. And
that is pretty treacherous. So, brave Betty, with her mum by her

The inspiring true tale of young siblings who loved to make stories
– and grew up to be among English literature's finest writers.
Many years ago, the four children of the Brontë family –
Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne – lived in a windswept house
by the Yorkshire moors with their father. Although their lives were
often filled with sadness and their world was only as large as the
distance they could walk, their inner worlds were bound only by
their imaginations. Hungry for stories, these children devoured
novels and poetry, history and fables. And with the gift of a group
of toy soldiers, they were inspired to make their own tiny books
... a passion that would last them a lifetime.

in search of friends.

A tense and thrilling ghost story that revisits Cornwall's
industrial past. Short-storytelling at its very best, from the UK's
most beloved writer for children, the internationally acclaimed
author of War Horse. It all began with a necklace, made of
glistening pink cowrie shells. A long, long necklace that had taken
Cherry days - weeks - of careful, painstaking work. It was nearly
complete, and Cherry was determined it would be the longest
necklace she had ever made; that it would be fit for a giant! But
the end of the holidays had arrived. "You've only got today,
Cherry," said her mother. "Just today, that's all." Cherry didn't
mind, a day would be enough - she only needed a few more shells.
So, amidst the taunts of her older brothers, she set out to search
for them. Then the clouds grew dark and the waves grew large, and
as the storm blew in, Cherry realized, to her horror, that she was
cut off from the shore. From then on, events began to take a
decidedly dark turn. One from which there was no turning back...

If she could just be brave enough to face her fears, who knows where her journey might take her ... A touching tale for young readers of learning to overcome anxiety and follow your dreams.
