There have been many great and enduring works of literature by
Caribbean authors over the last century. The Caribbean Contemporary
Classics collection celebrates these deep and vibrant stories,
overflowing with life and acute observations about society. Over
our way lies a world of flame trees and hot beaches rimmed with
hills, of raucous laughter in the market and shouts in the street,
of bare feet running down dusty lanes and across burnt savannahs,
splashing beside the boats of fishermen or inching up the ringed
bark of coconut trees. A long way, full of laughing, weeping,
blessing, cursing, explaining, quarrelling, accusing and lamenting.
We cannot see the beginnings or ends of our way, but we can tell
some of the stories of what happens over our way: stories which we
alone can tell, stories about our friendships, our lonelinesses,
our games, our crimes, our sorrows and joys, our triumphs and
dreams. Suitable for readers aged 11 and above.

Orphanage is a happy place until the great sickness comes to the
country, when the ten orphan children are left to fend for
themselves. Normal life breaks down, and people do what they can to
survive. Threatened with being taken to a labour camp, the
children's only alternative is a perilous journey across the
island. Sanctuary awaits them at Last Man Peak, but will they be
able to reach it? Unforeseen danger waits at every turn. No one can
be trusted. The arduous trek would be challenging enough even
without the need to avoid capture - capture which would mean the
labour camp, or possibly something much worse. The journey, with
only their wits and courage to help them, will change their lives
for ever. Suitable for readers aged 11 and above.
