The fantastic followup to The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of
Bronte Mettlestone.
The town of Spindrift is frequented by pirates, Shadow Mages and
charlatans. It's also home to the Orphanage School, where Finlay lives
with Glim, Taya and Eli. Just outside town is the painfully posh
Brathelthwaite Boarding School, home to Honey Bee, Hamish and Victor,
Duke of Ainsley. When the two schools compete at the Spindrift
Tournament, stakes are high, tensions are higher, and some people are
out to win at any cost. Before long, the orphans and the boarding
school are in an all-out war.
And then Whispering Wars break out, and Spindrift is thrust onto the
front lines. Children are being stolen, Witches, Sirens and a deadly
magical flu invade the town, and all attempts to fight back are met
with defeat.
Finlay, Honey Bee and their friends must join forces to outwit the
encroaching forces of darkness, rescue the stolen children, and turn
the tide of the war. But how can one bickering troupe outwit the
insidious power of the Whisperers? And who are the two mysterious
figures watching them from the shadows?
From the award-winning Jaclyn Moriarty comes a spellbinding tale of
unlikely friendship, unexpected magic and competitive athletics.
During the gold rush, Buck is snatched away from his peaceful home
and brought to the harsh and bitter Yukon to become a sled dog.
Will he adapt to life as a member of a sled pack? Or will his newly
awakened instincts lead him to search for the freedom he has never
known?

Oscar is just skipping school and hanging out at the local
skatepark when he suddenly finds himself transported into a world
very different to his. And this is his own account of his
adventures from Monday to Friday last week. In the company of
Bronte Mettlestone, Esther, Imogen and Alejandro, ordinary Oscar
finds himself on a quest to locate nine separate pieces of a key,
held by nine separate people, in order to unlock a complicated
spell that had trapped the Elven city of Dun-sorey-lo-vay-lo-hey.
If they don't succeed in their quest, on Friday at noon the spell
becomes permanent, the Elves will be crushed to death and Oscar
will be trapped in this magical world forever. (The account, it
should be noted, has been written at the request of Oscar's
school's Deputy Head Teacher. She wants to know exactly what Oscar
considered more important than coming to school last week.)

A beautiful and sensitive exploration of grief, loss and hope from
Karl James Mountford, in his much-awaited author-illustrator debut.
One day, Fox is drawn to something in the forest – it’s
something small, something silent, perhaps forgotten. It’s a
bird, as still as can be. Fox is confused, upset and angry – is
the bird broken? But then a little moth comes along. Kind and wise
and comforting, Moth shares a gentle philosophy to help Fox
understand: the story of the circles in the sky. Told with
sensitivity and style, Karl James Mountford weaves a story of
grief, loss and, most importantly, hope.

Bronte Mettlestone is ten years old when her parents are killed by pirates.
This does not bother her much: her parents ran away to have adventures when she was a baby. She has been raised by her Aunt Isabelle, with assistance from the Butler, and has spent a pleasant childhood of afternoon teas and riding lessons. Now, however, her parents have left detailed instructions for Bronte in their will. (Instructions that, annoyingly, have been reinforced with faery cross-stitch, which means that if she doesn't complete them, terrible things could happen) She must travel the kingdoms alone, delivering gifts to ten other aunts: a farmer aunt who owns an orange orchard, a veterinarian aunt who specializes in dragon care, a pair of aunts who captain a cruise ship, and a former rock star aunt who is now the reigning monarch of a small kingdom.
But as she travels from aunt to aunt, Bronte suspects there might be more to this journey than the simple delivery of treasure; though little does she suspect that she will have to play such a big part in the extraordinary events that follow.
