Some people think that museums are boring places full of glass
cases, dust and stuff no one cares about: wrong! In a hidden
headquarters below the exhibits there's a gang ready to handle
dangerous, spooky or just plain weird problems: the Museum Mystery
Squad. Techie-genius Nabster, mile-a-minute Kennedy and sharp-eyed
Laurie (along with Colin the hamster!) tackle the surprising

messages from the past, there's no brain-twisting, totally
improbable puzzle the Squad can't solve. Someone's sent the museum
a blackmail letter threatening to steal a prized exhibit from the
brand-new Space Zone. Can the Squad make one giant leap in their
investigation, and stop the gravity-defying thief before an
out-of-this-world artefact 3,2,1... takes off? In the Case from
Outer Space, the Squad investigate puzzling planets, amazing
astronauts and marvellous moon rocks to try to solve their latest
mystery. Young readers will love the riddles, red herrings and big
reveals jam-packed into this fun-filled series of mystery stories
by Mike Nicholson. The enjoyable extras like wacky facts and
activities, as well as zany illustrations by Mike Phillips, will
keep amateur detectives entertained for hours.

gigantic neighbour to wake up and stop snoring? Too big to turn
over, and a peg on the nose just won't do.

Fergus can't believe it when his brand-new digital watch starts
going backwards. Then he crashes (literally) into gadget-loving
Murdo and a second mystery comes to light: cats are going missing
all over the neighbourhood. This book is the winner of the Kelpies
Prize 2005. Sharply and wittily observed, it's a story of unlikely
friendships, unexpected allies and cat surveillance.
Mike Nicholson is a highly respected former rally co-driver who
competed in UK and European rallies for over 35 years, reaching the

and British Open Rally Championships. Written with tongue firmly in
cheek and peppered with wry observations, Listen To Me is sure to
delight all rally enthusiasts who want to know what really goes on
at the sharp end.

'Hillsborough will be remembered as one of the biggest injustices
of the twentieth century, because those who were there to protect
the public turned against them in their hour of need. The power of
print media was at its absolute peak at that time, before the
internet and mobile phones, so they had huge power but no
accountability as we found out with Hillsborough. It was a one-way
street. The media basically set opinion.' Andy Burnham, Shadow Home
Secretary Hillsborough used to be known simply as a suburb of
Sheffield and the home of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club. After
Saturday 15 April 1989, the meaning of the word changed forever for
an entire generation and the date remembered as the worst sporting
disaster in British history. Many thousands of men, women and
children set off to support Liverpool in the semi-final of the FA
Cup with hope in their hearts but, tragically, 96 never came home.
A human crush on the Leppings Lane terraces ended the lives of
those 96, injured hundreds of others and traumatised thousands
more. Documenting eyewitness accounts from before, during and after
the disaster, with statements from the bereaved families and fans
of other clubs, and a foreword by Margaret Aspinall, Chairman of
the Hillsborough Family Support Group, The Hillsborough Disaster:
In Their Own Words is the story of those whose lives changed
forever on that bright, sunny day in Sheffield. This book is their
truth.
