from comedian Lenny Henry, is a laugh-out-loud magical story for

Keenon Ferrell. Twins, Bran and Fran, are two ordinary kids who are
about to go on an extraordinary adventure! When their mum
mysteriously disappears in a lightning strike, just like their dad,
the twins are all alone and know they have to stick together - if
only to face their new guardian's terrible cooking! But when their
mum's treasured storybook turns out to be a portal to another world
full of mythical legends, everything changes. Suddenly, evil
princes, mud monsters and Viking armies are all very real and out
to get them. Luckily, the twins have Wilma, the Wizard's Wife, and
Zachary, a wisecracking Zebracorn, to help them solve the mystery
surrounding their parents' disappearance. Quests are no joke (but
there are lots of jokes in this book) and this is the quest of a
lifetime . . .

A victim of violent abuse at the hands of his stepfather, Lenny
spent much of his teenage life in borstal as he began to follow a
life of crime. However, it was his ability as a fighter that was to
turn his life around. Lenny McLean inspired fear in many, but
respect from all, as he became a bare-knuckle fighting legend. His
fame became even greater in later life, appearing in Guy Ritchie's
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels just as his autobiography was
reaching the top of the bestsellers chart. Lenny's untimely death
from cancer in 1998 marked the beginning of the end of the old
Cockney way of life and interest in his story has only increased
since his passing, inspiring documentaries as well as a feature
film, My Name is Lenny. In these unedited conversations between
Lenny and his 'book man' Peter Gerrard, featuring many anecdotes
that did not appear in The Guv'nor, we get to see the man behind
the public image. As he looks back on his life, these transcripts
reveal Lenny's humour and charm as well as the volatility that made
him one of the most notorious figures ever to emerge from the East
End.
This novel starts at the very beginning in New York City when the
Nilsson family moves all of their possessions to a brand new
housing development on Long Island. Then, the novel shifts a few
years ahead to our hero's first experiences in kindergarten in a
rented room of an old Protestant Church. As the novel moves on, our
hero continues his grade school education through sixth grade in a
formal building where Lester is constantly confronted with other
children his age; some become close friends, some are bullies, and
others mold his life as our hero interacts with him. Not all the
scenes in the story are school related. Many deal in other areas
where a child's imagination and a parent's involvement can turn a
simple act like losing a rubber boot down a street drain into an
interesting dilemma. Often these situations involve people from
other walks of life: policeman, construction people, strangers.
'Levittown' was written to entertain the reader, and I have
purposely kept the pace of the plot moving so the reader will not
dwell on one thing for too long. However, I hope that the reader
will agree with me and our hero that Levittown was and I hope, is
still a child's paradise.
"The Hall" is one young man's adventures as he lives through his
Freshman year in college. The novel starts at the beginning, in his
home on Long Island, onto an epic journey to a mythical college in
upstate New York, and then, through the months that he becomes
involved with his dorm life, his adventures with his new friends,
and culminating with his first involvement with a young woman. As
the story unfolds, 'The Hall' explores the complexities of
dormitory life and how they intertwine with the characters that I
present to the reader. Many of the characters are based on real
people that I had met in college. Their memories have left a
lasting impression on me and I have decided to tell of their
adventures and mine, too in a book that I can share with others. It
is important to note that I have changed the characters real names
to names of my own invention. I have also written the events in the
story so that they have a fictional context to them and are in no
way related to real people or mention real places. I hope that you
enjoy reading 'The Hall' and that we can do business with each
other in the future. Thank You Len Nicholas Lost Lenny
