'Beautifully written . . . I raced through it' HILARY MANTEL 1759,
Ipswich. Sisters Peggy and Molly Gainsborough are the best of
friends and do everything together. They spy on their father as he
paints, they rankle their mother as she manages the books, they
tear barefoot through the muddy fields that surround their home.
But there is another reason they are inseparable: from a young age,
Molly has had a tendency to forget who she is, to fall into mental
confusion, and Peggy knows instinctively that no one must find out.
When the family move to Bath, the sisters are thrown into the whirl
of polite society, where the merits of marriage and codes of
behaviour are crystal clear, and secrets much harder to keep. As
Peggy goes to greater lengths to protect her sister from the threat
of an asylum, she finds herself falling in love, and their
precarious situation is soon thrown catastrophically off course.
The discovery of a betrayal forces Peggy to question all she has
done for Molly - and whether any one person can truly change the
fate of another.
The joys of the world, one terrible map at a time – this is the
ultimate gift book for the budding geographer or anyone who wants
to have a laugh. Ever wondered about the average jean colour across
the United States? Or what ‘pedestrians’ look like in Denmark?
What unites Brokenwind, Upton Snodsbury and Crackpot? And have you
ever tried to take a train in Antarctica? Well Terrible Maps is the
book for you! Put together by the creator behind the tremendously
popular social media feed, this is the ultimate humour book for the
budding geographer in your life. From the longest fence on earth
(the Dingo Fence in Australia), to the different names for football
around the world, Terrible Maps follows in the footsteps of the
likes of bestsellers Crap Towns, Crap CVs and Crap Taxidermy, in
celebrating pointless cartography in all its glory. Don’t leave
home without it!

The comic companion to the BBC sitcom GHOSTS, perfect for all the
family. Everybody leaves a trace. The ghosts of Button House may
have been dead a long time - some of them a very long time - but
they have all left their mark on the world (even if, in Robin’s
case, that mark is just a handprint on the wall of a cave).
Gathered together in this volume is a treasure trove of unearthed
cuttings, original records and rare artefacts that explore the
unseen lives of those who died at Button House: from Thomas's love
letters to Pat's ‘Summer Camp Rap’, and from Julian's campaign
promises to Lady Button's Rules of Etiquette. There are even
documents dictated to the one person who can see and hear the
ghosts: Alison Cooper. Written by the show’s creators – Mathew
Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence
Rickard and Ben Willbond – this eclectic archive is a unique
chance to discover more about the beloved ghosts of Button House.
Thank be to Moonah! A book for all the family, it is as
warm-spirited and deliriously daft as the series itself.

Source to Summit is a brand new KS3 course, comprising student
books and digital Kerboodle resources, that have been cohesively
planned to ensure full compliance with the new Religious Education
Directory (RED). Series editor, Andy Lewis, and a writing team of
practicing teachers have drawn on their expertise and classroom
experience to present the new curriculum in a way that students
will be able to understand and remember. Mirroring the structure of
the RED, there is a strong narrative telling the Christian story
from Creation to the Church today. Lessons are carefully sequenced,
and content presented in accessible and vividly designed spreads.
There are opportunities for students to engage with scripture, and
a wide range of case studies and examples help bring alive the
Catholic faith. Activities on each spread explicitly allow students
to develop skills to understand, discern and personally respond to
the material they encounter. Through a range of tasks with
accompanying guidance, students will be able to demonstrate their
progress over time in a structured way. This course seeks to be
authentic to the Catholic faith, rigorous and engaging, allowing
students of all faiths and backgrounds to be fully immersed in the
curriculum in an inclusive way.
