Rose lives with her parents in a small cottage in the forest. Her
family are poor and hardworking, and Rose yearns for fun,
friendship and flowers. One Midsummer's Day, walking wearily home,
Rose hears beautiful singing and follows the joyful sound deep into
the trees. As she listens, a flurry of fairies bursts out of a tiny
door in the side of a hill! One of the fairies invites Rose to join
their party. Entering the fairy world, Rose is enchanted with her
new friends and gladly joins in with their Midsummer song. Will she
ever want to leave? Inspired by traditional Scottish stories of
fairy folk, celebrated storyteller Janis Mackay weaves a magical
tale that will capture any child's imagination. Ruchi Mhasane's
delightful illustrations sparkle with joy and vitality. The Fairy
Song is a delightful new book from the creators of much-loved
traditional Scottish tale The Selkie Girl.
Jamie has been watching the wee white seal that lives on the beach.
At night the wee seal cuddles up to its mother. In the morning she
goes out to sea and leaves it alone like a strange white stone on
the sand. One day tourists come and crowd the wee seal but Jamie
knows just what to do to protect it until its mother comes back...
Janis Mackay's lyrical prose tells the story of the tender
relationship between a wild baby seal and the young boy who watches
over it, while Gabby Grant's soft illustrations brilliantly evoke
the landscape of the Orkney Islands.
There has always been something unusual about Magnus Fin, a school
misfit. On his eleventh birthday Magnus throws a message in a
bottle out to sea, wishing for a best friend and to be more brave
-- and he gets a lot more than he bargained for. Magnus discovers
that he is half selkie -- part seal, part human -- and his selkie
family urgently need his help. Can Magnus save his new-found family
from the evil force threatening all the ocean's creatures? And will
he find the friend he has always dreamed of? The winner of the
Kelpies Prize 2009.

Fergus lives with his father by the sea, but is lonely. He wants a
friend more than anything. One day Fergus finds treasure on the
beach: a beautiful fur blanket hidden in the rocks. But Fergus
doesn't know that his treasure belongs to someone else -- a selkie
girl has lost her seal skin and can't go home to the sea without
it. Will Fergus give his new friend what she needs, and risk being
lonely again? This is a lovely retelling of the traditional
Scottish folk tale of the selkie (a seal who can become human)
adapted for a young audience. Beautifully written by storyteller
and selkie storyteller Janis Mackay, the tale is accompanied by
stunning illustrations by Ruchi Mhasane. The Selkie Girl is one of
the first titles released in the new Picture Kelpies: Traditional
Scottish Tales range of picture books that bring classic Scottish
folk and fairy tales to life for young children.
Winner of the Scottish Children's Book Award 2013 Younger Readers
(8-11 years) category One ordinary day, Saul is on his way to the
corner shop when a girl appears suddenly in the middle of the road.
She doesn't understand traffic, or the things in shops, and she's
wearing a long dress with ruffled sleeves. Her name is Agatha
Black. Agatha Black is from 1812, and Saul needs to find a way to
get her back there. With help from his mates Will and Robbie, he
tries to work out how to make time travel happen. This pacy,
time-travelling adventure from Janis Mackay, author of the Magnus
Fin series, is full of funny misunderstandings and gripping action.
On his eleventh birthday, schoolboy Magnus Fin found out that he is
half selkie -- part human, part seal. Although he looks like a boy
and lives on land, he can breathe underwater. When a rusty metal
chest is flung ashore in a storm, Magnus Fin decides to
investigate. But he injures his hand on the strange box, and his
sealskin starts to show through. His teacher realises that there's
something very unusual about Magnus Fin -- and rumours start to
spread. Deep in the ocean, the great sea god Neptune has problems
of his own. The treasures of wisdom have been stolen, and his
memory and powers are fading fast. Could his missing treasure be
inside the chest that's been washed ashore? Magnus Fin is the only
one who can find out and restore order under the sea. But a young
journalist is investigating the rumours about 'fish people'. Can
Magnus Fin complete his mission before the selkie secret is
revealed and his selkie family are forced to leave the bay forever?
Janis Mackay also wrote the Kelpies Prize-winning Magnus Fin and
the Ocean Quest, and Magnus Fin and the Moonlight Mission. This is
the third book in the series.
On his eleventh birthday, schoolboy Magnus Fin found out that he
was half selkie -- part human, part seal. Although he looks like a
boy and lives on land, he can breathe underwater. When Magnus Fin
discovers his initials scratched into the rocks by the shore and
finds dead seals washed up on the beach, he knows his selkie family
needs his help, and he dives down beneath the waves to find out
more. The great seal sickness has struck and his grandmother
Miranda is dangerously ill. But Magnus Fin is sure there's another
reason for their affliction. He sets out to reveal the truth, with
just his moonstone, his last baby tooth and some seaweed from
Neptune's garden for luck. Little does he know that his best friend
Tarkin, who can't swim, is determined to join him on this perilous
mission. This is the exciting sequel to Kelpie Prize-winning Magnus
Fin and the Ocean Quest.
