put it down. And the pictures are terrific!' Stephen King AN
AMAZON.COM BEST MYSTERY/THRILLER OF THE YEAR Mallory is delighted
to have a new job looking after gorgeous four-year-old, Teddy.
She's been sober for a year and a half and she's sure her new
nannying role in the affluent suburbs will help keep her on the
straight and narrow. That is until Teddy starts to draw disturbing
pictures of his imaginary friend, Anya. It is quite clear to
Mallory and to Teddy's parents, even in his crude childlike style,
that the woman Teddy is drawing in his pictures is dead. Teddy's
crayons are confiscated, and his paper locked away. But the
drawings somehow keep coming, telling a frightening story of a
woman murdered... and they're getting more sophisticated. But if
Teddy isn't drawing the pictures anymore, who is? And what are they
trying to tell Mallory about her new home? 'Whip-smart, creepy as
hell, and masterfully plotted, Hidden Pictures is the best new
thriller I've read in years. Destined to be a classic of the
genre.' Ransom Riggs, bestselling author of Miss Peregrine's Home
for Peculiar Children What readers are saying about Hidden
Pictures: 'Creepy' 'Intense' 'Thrilling' 'I would never have
guessed the ending!'
With all the best elements of Kid Presidents--colourful
illustrations, kid-relatable subjects, true tales of overcoming
adversity. -Kid Athletes tells true tales from the childhoods of a
wide range of athletes. Did you know...Babe Ruth was so
incorrigible he was sent to reform school at the age of seven.
Historians now think the Babe may have suffered from attention
deficit disorder, which contributed to his wild, hyperactive
nature--and may have helped him develop his almost supernatural
ability to hit a baseball. Mia Hamm was born with a club foot. She
underwent multiple surgeries, had to wear special casts and
corrective shoes until she was a toddler. She overcame her
disability to become the most prolific goal scorer in the history
of soccer. Muhammad Ali (aka Cassius Clay) learned how to fight
after a thief stole his bicycle when he was twelve. When little
Cassius vowed to whup the kid who'd swiped his wheels, a kindly
police officer offered to give him boxing lessons. And a
heavyweight legend was born. The lineup of potential subjects is
exciting and diverse: female athletes like the Williams sisters,
Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and Babe Didrikson Zaharias; African-American
legends like Jackie Robinson and Michael Jordan; international
stars like Yao Ming and Cristiano Ronaldo; and Native American
icons like Jim Thorpe. With Doogie Horner's whimsical illustrations
bringing every goal, touchdown, and championship to life, this book
is a slam dunk for young readers.
The series that began with Kid Presidents and Kid Athletes has a
new volume that chronicles the childhoods of 16 celebrated
artists-everyone from Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh to Mary
Cassat, Frida Kahlo, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and even Dr. Seuss!
Readers will learn: Georgia O'Keeffe was so enthralled by nature
that she once ate dirt just to see what it tasted like.* Jackson
Pollock lost the top of his right index finger in a childhood
accident (and the severed tip was eaten by a rooster!).* Andy
Warhol's favourite childhood lunch was-what else?-a bowl of
Campbell's tomato soup. Every scribble, sketch, and sticky
situation comes to life in these kid-friendly and relatable
stories, all with Doogie Horner's trademark whimsical
illustrations. Kid Artists is a delight for budding artists and
eager readers alike.
With the best elements of KID PRESIDENTS, KID ATHLETES and KID
ARTISTS colourful illustrations, kid-relatable subjects, and real
stories of childhood conflict, comedy, and triumph KID AUTHORS
tells true tales from the childhoods of a wide range of the world s
most beloved authors before they were famous. Did you know: Sam
Clemens (AKA Mark Twain) loved to hold watermelon-seed-spitting
contests, play hooky, and borrow boats to go fishing and digging
for turtle eggs with his best friend Tom, of course! Zora Neale
Hurston first learned to walk when a hungry wild hog wandered into
her house for some of her mother s cornbread and young Zora had to
toddle her way to safety.
Cut two eyeholes into a bedsheet and Boo! You've got yourself a
classic Halloween icon. But what happens if you tie the bedsheet in
knots? What happens when you set it on fire, hang it from a
clothesline, or put a llama underneath it? 100 Ghosts is a
brilliantly simple artistic exploration of an icon as familiar as a
grinning jack-o-lantern or an arched black cat. It's a delightful
gift for adults, kids, and anyone who enjoys spooky design.
