sister, two feral brothers and a messy baby sister. Mum and Gran
are stressed to the max, both dads are out of the picture and the
cats aren't exactly pulling their weight. But when she starts
getting mixed-up warnings not to go on holiday to the tiny, safe
Scottish island of Cumbrae, her summer just gets weirder and
weirder. The thing is, whoever's talking to Lily doesn't even seem
to know she's doing it. If she's a ghost, she's not a very good
one. And there's something about her that Lily finds awfully,
spine-tinglingly familiar. . . Spend the summer with Lily McLean in
this beautifully written, laugh-out-loud adventure by Kelpies Prize
winner Lindsay Littleson.
"One of the swimmers plunged underwater with a flick of his long,
dolphin-like tail. The other followed, sending an arc of spray
shooting upwards, tail slapping against the choppy waves." In the
quiet Scottish seaside village of Dunlyre, Finn is enduring a
winter holiday with his annoying new stepmother, wishing things
could go back to how they were, while Sage is enjoying her new
home, wishing things would stay as they are. Finn has seen
mysterious swimmers in the Firth late at night. Then, from the
clifftop, first Sage, then Finn, hears an eerie song. Could the
local legend of merfolk living amid the waves actually be true?
When the new friends meet the magical sea-people, they are amazed
and impressed, but the merfolk are hiding a secret. The two human
children must put aside their own problems and help in the battle
against the young merfolk's ancient underwater enemy before the
last of their kind are lost forever. From the author of the
much-loved Guardians of the Wild Unicorns, Secrets of the Last
Merfolk is an exciting fantasy adventure that reimagines the
mythical sea-people as powerful, proud and fearless.
The wild is waiting... Esme is annoyed and braced for boredom when

growing-fast! Suddenly, Esme find herself on a dangerous mission to
rewild Cora, along with Callum Docherty for company, the school's
'bad boy', and Shug, the worst guard dog in the world. The
situation takes a terrifying turn when the children pitch their
tents on a bleak Highland moor and hear wolves howling outside...
'Across the moor galloped a huge dark beast; a heavily muscled
horse with a gleaming, rippling black mane. The animal reared up,
its hooves cutting the sky, its silken tail streaming like a
banner. Its spiralled horn glinted in the sun.' Lewis is cold, wet
and miserable on his school residential trip in the Highlands of
Scotland. The last thing he expects to see is a mythical creature
galloping across the bleak moorland. Unicorns aren't real are they?
Lewis and his best friend Rhona find themselves caught up in a
dangerous adventure to save the world's last herd of wild unicorns.
Fighting against dark forces, battling the wild landscape, and
harnessing ancient magic, can they rescue the legendary creatures
in time?
