"All I want for Christmas is for everyone to read this book." A.F.
Steadman, author of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief "A gorgeous,
heartwarming story full of hope, humour and love. The perfect gift
for Christmas." Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear When Oscar and
Molly rush outside to investigate a crash in the night, they're not
expecting to find a dazed Angel Gabriel wandering around their
grandparents' back garden. And they're certainly not expecting to
find themselves in a race to save Christmas. But if they don't
track down a missing shepherd, wise man, donkey and the actual Mary
and Joseph, who've all crash-landed in Chipping Bottom, not only
will Christmas cease to exist, but they will too. Operation
Nativity is on. Featuring fun festive activities to try with your
family! Praise for Jenny Pearson: WINNER OF THE LAUGH OUT LOUD BOOK
AWARD SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA BOOK AWARD, WATERSTONES CHILDREN'S
BOOK PRIZE and the BRANFORD BOASE AWARD. "Breaks records for funny
and touching storytelling." David Baddiel "As funny and tender as
it could ever be." Frank Cottrell-Boyce "Heart-warming and
genuinely funny." The Times
Archivist's Note: You must excuse my poetic license. Artistic
liberty is something I am rarely afforded, and this tale begs to be
transformed into scripture; everything about it is epic. We begin
with the end. With a fugitive engineer in the far-flung future of
6066 trying to find the emperor who stole her sister. With a
lovelorn time traveller from 19th-century London yearning to return
to the prince who stole his heart. With a forgotten planet
imploding beneath the scars left by the people who stole its
future. Asha knows she's just another voiceless cog in the vast war
machine of the Thracin empire, trapped working on the assembly line
of weapons destined to ensure humans like her never escape. When
she discovers she has a long-lost sister who may still be alive
deep in the bowels of the imperial prison, the decision to risk
everything is made for her. Obi knows he has to find the cure to
the temporal sickness he caught when he split his soul. But when
his path tangles with Asha's they soon realise they are merely
pawns in a grand prophecy of fated heroes meeting again and again
across space and time to thwart an interdimensional apocalypse. And
so they must embark on a quest to the centre of the galaxy,
voyaging across the stars in a deadly race against time and tyranny
to turn their imminent ending into a new beginning. The Principle
of Moments is a symphonic scifi fantasy adventure exploring the
generational trauma of empire and the friendships that can save us
from it - unmissable for fans of the spacefaring found family of
Becky Chambers, the magic-steeped alternate London of V.E. Schwab,
and the virtuosic climate-craft of N.K. Jemisin.
"I should have realised that there was going to be something
SERIOUSLY weird about a town called Little STRANGEhaven." Something
BAD is happening at Little Strangehaven Primary. What are the
peculiar SHIVERS that keep striking the school, bringing
Strangeness in their wake - from uncontrollable ballroom dancing to
an attack by military chickens? Spy-detective Agatha Topps is
determined to find out. She's the only person who doesn't forget
the Strangeness as soon as it's over. At least, until new boy Lenny
Tuchus turns up and remembers too. Their spy-detectoring leads them
to the Book of Chaos, an ancient text which has been hidden away in
the Room of Forbidden and Dangerous Books. Can Agatha and Lenny
fight off attacks from evil underpants and Transylvanian gargoyles
to stop the SHIVERS before their town is sucked into oblivion?
Because power lies in books - especially this one . . . The perfect
story for 7 to 9-year-olds (or STRANGE adults) and fans of Ben
Miller, David Walliams and Tom Fletcher. Packed with hilarious
illustrations and easy-to-read text, discover the secrets of Little
Strangehaven.

Diego Luna directs this biographical drama based on the life and
achievements of Mexican American civil rights activist and labour
movement leader Cesar Chavez. The film shows how Chavez (Michael
Peña) went from being just another Latino American farm worker to a
passionate and respected spokesperson whose embrace of non-violent
means of protest led to the securing of a living wage for workers
like himself.

it out in Las Vegas for the chance of securing their own show in
the entertainment capital of the world. The supporting cast

Robert (Bertie Higgins) and Allen (J.D. Rudometkin) go on a
five-stop motorcycle poker run, along with their wives Susan (Debra
Hopkins) and Cheri (Jasmine Waltz), but on the way they encounter
psychopaths Ray (Robert Thorne) and Billy (Jay Wisell). Before long
Susan and Cheri are kidnapped and Robert and Allen are put through
their paces in a number of horrific challenges as they attempt to
get their wives back. In 'The Maze' (2010), five teenagers decide
to explore a corn maze one night. Unbeknown to them, however, a
murderous lunatic lurks within the maze and is luring them to their
deaths. Will any of them make it out alive? In 'The Goatman
Murders' (2011), a group of friends on a road trip to Florida
experience some car trouble and end up in the Maryland countryside
where an axe-wielding murderer, who is half-man, half-goat, begins
to kill them one by one. Will there be any survivors?
Mindful meditations and delicious recipes that will encourage you
to take control of your eating habits and really enjoy your food.
Mindless eating is a modern-day malady. In today’s hectic world,
we reach for unhealthy snacks for a quick energy boost, we don’t
take proper lunch breaks and we are constantly distracted while we
eat. The enjoyment of eating is lost as a result. Mindful eating
offers a new, positive way forward. By applying the principles of
mindfulness, an ancient Buddhist practice, to our everyday eating
habits we can make simple changes to our diet and learn how to
appreciate and savour food. Rachel Bartholomew and Mandy Pearson
demonstrate how easy-to-follow mindfulness meditations, inspiring
stories from people who have benefited from mindful eating, and
delicious recipes can set you on the path to a new and healthier
way of eating.
'Mary E. Pearson is a fearless storyteller' Stephanie Garber A
reformed thief and the young leader of an outlaw dynasty lock wits
in a battle that may cost them their lives, and their hearts, in a
new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Remnant
Chronicles. When the patriarch of the Ballenger empire dies, his
son, Jase, becomes its new leader. Even nearby kingdoms bow to the
strength of this outlaw family, who have always governed by their
own rules. But a new era looms on the horizon, set in motion by a
young queen, which makes her the target of the dynasty's resentment
and anger. At the same time, Kazi, a legendary former street thief,
is sent by the queen to investigate transgressions against the new
settlements. When Kazi arrives in the forbidding land of the
Ballengers, she learns that there is more to Jase than she thought.
As unexpected events spiral out of their control, bringing them
intimately together, they continue to play a cat and mouse game of
false moves and motives in order to fulfil their own secret
missions. PRAISE FOR MARY E. PEARSON 'One of my favorite reads of
the year' Alyson Noel 'Deeply satisfying, intricately plotted

The critically acclaimed story of one child's experience of foster
care and his journey to a forever, forever home Elliot's parents
love him very much, but they don't have all the skills they need to
take care of a child. When he cries, they do not understand why.
When he yells, they do not know what to do. When he misbehaves,
they do not know how to react. One day a social worker named Thomas
comes to visit, and Elliot's world turns upside-down. Manon
Gauthier's soft collage illustrations feature approachable rabbit
characters, while Julie Pearson's soothing, repetitive text guides
Elliot gently through the foster child system. The new families
that care for the little boy are kind, but everything is strange
and new, and the sudden changes make him want to cry and yell and
misbehave. Then, when it becomes clear that Elliot's parents will
never be able to raise him, Thomas sets out to find Elliot one last
home-a forever, forever home with a family that will love and care
for him no matter what.
