Never, ever look directly into the eyes of a ghost. Because once
you see it, once you see her, once you acknowledge her impossible
existence, you can never un-see it. And that's how she gets you.
When Sophia Galich was twelve, she starred in her older sister
Laylaās amateur horror movie Vermillion, which recorded raw
footage of her very real reactions to scenes her sister concocted
in their old Californian house on the coast ā Cashore House. In
the years after the filmās release, Sophiaās memories of the
now-infamous house fueled her nightmares. Vermillion amassed an
army of fanatical fans who speculated about the filmās hidden
messages, and it was rumored that Layla made a pact with the devil
ā her soul in exchange for fame and arcane knowledge. Sophia
dismissed this as gossip . . . until Layla disappeared. Now, Sophia
must study the trail of clues Layla has left behind, returning to
the very place where it all began. As she gets closer and closer to
Cashore Houseās haunted heart, she must once again confront the
ghosts of her childhood. But the house wonāt reveal its secrets
without a fight. When Ghosts Call Us Home is a spine-tingling
chiller from horror writer Katya De Becerra.

From the author of October, October, winner of the Yoto Carnegie
Medal, comes a heartbreaking and heart-warming story about
sisterhood, found family and accepting love in the most unusual and
unknown places. Fen and Rey were found curled up small and tight in
the fiery fur of the foxes at the very edge of the wildlands. Fen
is loud and fierce and free. She feels a connection to foxes and a
calling from the wild that she's desperate to return to. Rey is
quiet and shy and an expert on nature. She reads about the birds,
feeds the lands and nurtures the world around her. They are twin
sisters. Different and the same. Separate and connected. They will
always have each other, even if they don't have a mother and don't
know their beginning. But they do want answers. Answers to who
their mother is and where she might be. What their story is and how
it began. So when a fox appears late one night at the house, Fen
and Rey see it as a sign - it's here to lead them to their truth,
find their real family and fill the missing piece they have felt
since they were born. But the wildlands are exactly that: wild.
They are wicked and cruel and brutal and this journey will be
harder and more life changing than either Fen or Rey ever imagined

The mysteries of kinship (families born into and families made)
take disconcerting and familiar shapes in these refreshingly frank
short stories. A family is haunted by a beast that splatters fruit
against its walls every night, another undergoes a near-collision
with a bus on the way home from the beach. Mothers are cold,
fathers are absent-we know these moments in the abstract, but Adaui
makes each as uncanny as our own lives: close but not yet
understood.

whole world until she gets what she wants. And what she wants is

having a baby. Tom and Zofia both wish the stupid baby had never
happened. But then Tom's mum gets ill, and it begins to look

trust, trying to let go and diving into the unknown with hope in
your heart, with a stunning cover illustrated by CILIP Kate

Both a celebration and a lament for Ukraine, a moving personal
memoir taking us from Katya's idyllic childhood with her siblings:
holidays in Crimea and carefree days working the land at the Dacha;
to the sickening impact of Putin's invasion and its effect on
Katya, her friends and family - the anxiety, fear and heartache.
The desperate attempts to make contact with friends and ensure
loved ones are safe. Throughout it all bestrides Babushka, Katya's
'favourite person on earth' still living in the family's apartment
block in Kyiv. Babushka learned fortitude at an early age when her
own mother was taken by the Germans and she was rescued by a Jewish
doctor whose identity was kept secret. When she is not growing
vegetables and making vats of borsch, she is reading the sexy bits
from novels out loud to her granddaughter. But in this last year
she has turned her hand to a recipe of a different type - Molotov
cocktails - in preparation for an attack on her apartment block.
Combining prose, poetry, collage, maps and illustrations this is a
truly immersive memoir - an authentic portrait of the impact of
war.
1) This is the first handbook of its kind in Audience studies. 2)
The final section, Part 4, consists of shorter chapters and is
orientated not thematically but around a series of keywords. This
will enable greater diversity of voice (including of artists and
audiences) and space for the playful, the unexpected, the sideways
view.
