I'm sure you've heard of fairies. You've probably heard of pixies too. But maybe you thought they only existed in stories. Alice is fed up. Her family have moved to the countryside and there are no adventures to be found at all. Or so she thinks... But everything changes when she meets seven-year-old Max who shares the most wonderful secret. At the bottom of his garden is an oak tree with a tiny door. And through that tiny door live three pixies. The pixies are relieved to meet Alice – as they need her help. Their queen has been frozen by the mean fairies and only the bravest adventurers can come to her rescue and save the day. A delightful new series for 6+ in the tradition of The Magic Faraway Tree.

His research was urgent fifty years ago. Now, it’s critical. In the early 1970s, budding Kiwi scientist Dave Lowe was posted at an atmospheric monitoring station on the wind-blasted southern coast of New Zealand’s North Island. On a shoestring salary he measured carbon in the atmosphere, collecting vital data towards what became one of the most important discoveries in modern science. What followed was a lifetime’s career marked by hope and despair. As realisation dawned of what his measurements meant for the future of the planet, Dave travelled the world to understand more about atmospheric gases, along the way programming some of the earliest computers, designing cutting-edge equipment and conducting experiments both dangerous and mind-numbingly dull. From the sandy beaches of California to the stark winters of West Germany, the mesas of the Rocky Mountains and an Atlantic voyage across the equator, Dave has faced down climate deniers, foot-dragging bureaucracy and widespread complacency to open people’s eyes to the effects of increasing fossil fuel emissions on our atmosphere. In equal parts adventure and a warning, and with the wisdom and frustration of half a century behind him, The Alarmist is the exhilarating autobiography of a pioneering Kiwi scientist who has dedicated his life to sounding the alarm on climate change.
