One ordinary meeting of the science club at Parkview Primary School
becomes extraordinary when their teacher takes them back in time to
1843 to meet Christian inventor Charles Babbage. There they learn
about his latest invention, the Difference Engine, but they have to
be careful - if they're not back in an hour they'll be stuck in the
nineteenth century forever! This brilliantly fun graphic novel for
7- to 9-year olds is a fantastic time travel adventure that will
keep kids on the edge of their seats. Children will love the
memorable characters and colourful artwork from illustrator Laura
Borio that brings to life Fiona Veitch Smith's entertaining story,
and the graphic novel format is perfect for kids beginning to
explore their own independent reading. As they follow the journey
of the science club, children will learn about the history of the
computer and its inventor, Charles Babbage, and about how science
and faith go hand in hand. Produced in partnership with the Faraday
Institute, it ties in with the National Science Curriculum for Key
Stage 2, making it ideal for reading in the classroom as well as at
home.
The 1920s most stylish sleuth returns in The Crystal Crypt for
another thrilling murder mystery! "But accidents can still
happen... Perhaps there was something out of her control, something
she couldn't have foreseen..." "Like someone plotting to kill her?"
Reporter sleuth Poppy Denby is asked to investigate the mysterious
death of an up-and-coming female scientist in an Oxford laboratory
known as the Crystal Crypt. The official verdict is that Dr June
Leighton died in a tragic accident, but Dr Leighton's lab assistant
believes it was murder. However, when Poppy discovers that the
colleague has spent time in a mental institution and has an
unresolved murder in her own past, Poppy wonders if she is being
misled. But then, another female academic is attacked, and Poppy
herself becomes a target.
Introducing Poppy Denby, a young journalist in London during the
Roaring Twenties, investigating crime in the highest social circles
It is 1920. Twenty-two year old Poppy Denby moves from
Northumberland to live with her paraplegic aunt in London. Aunt
Dot, a suffragette who was injured in battles with the police in
1910, is a feisty and well-connected lady. Poppy has always dreamed
of being a journalist, and quickly lands a position as an editorial
assistant at the Daily Globe. Then one of the paper's hacks, Bert
Isaacs, dies suddenly and messily. Poppy and photographer Daniel
Rokeby (with whom Poppy has an immediate and mutual attraction)
begin to wonder if Bert was pushed. His story was going to be the
morning lead, but he hasn't finished writing it. Poppy finds his
notes and completes the story, which is a sensation. The Globe's
editor, realising her valuable suffragette contacts, invites her to
dig deeper. Poppy starts sifting through the dead man's files and
unearths a major mystery which takes her to France--and abruptly
into danger.
A delightful re-telling of the popular biblical story of Joseph
A fun way for children to explore the life of this popular Biblical
character
When the whole army of Israel is too scared to fight a giant, will
young David be any braver? David must draw on his experience of
seeing off the Hairy Beast to deal with a far greater foe. In this
retelling of the familiar story of David's encounter with Goliath,
children are taught that any problem can be overcome if we approach
it with courage, self-belief, and faith in God. It is a tale which
encourages us to read between the lines of what the Bible tells us
about David's early years. The light-hearted and beautifully
illustrated pictures will delight parents and children alike,
regardless of religious conviction.
The prophet Samuel is looking for the next king of Israel. Will he
find him on David's farm? David and the Kingmaker examines the
vital issue of self-worth, and reminds children that good character
is far more important than good looks, brains, talent or
popularity. Through his encounter with the prophet Samuel, David
catches a glimpse of how God sees him, and of his amazing future as
king of Israel. It is a tale which encourages us to read between
the lines of what the Bible tells us about David's early years. The
light-hearted and beautifully illustrated pictures will delight
parents and children alike, regardless of religious conviction.
