knows he exists. And she can't believe it when she finally spots
Lob in the gooseberry bushes. But Lucy's world is about to be
shattered by a terrible event. What will happen to Lob now - and
will she ever see him again? Linda Newbery, with the vivid
embroidery of Pam Smy's illustrations, has conjured a real green
man right out of the woods and stories of legend.

great-uncle Theo's toyshop, especially since the arrival of a

there are the beautiful toy boxes that start appearing, nestled
between the toys. This never happened before Twister turned up! Who
are the strange couple? And could Twister really be a magical cat?

German grandmother, HeidiGran, comes to live with her family after
she gets Alzheimer's disease; but as her mind becomes more muddled,
secrets from her memories of life during the Second World War start
to emerge. Why does HeidiGran keep talking about a girl called
Rachel? And why does she make racist remarks about Hilly's friend,
Reuben? As Hilly struggles to cope with revelations about her

When Samuel Godwin, a young and naive art tutor, accepts a job with
the Farrow family at Fourwinds, their majestic home, little does he
expect to come across such a web of secrets and lies. His two
tutees are as different as chalk and cheese - the beautiful younger
sister Marianne, full of flightiness and nervous imagination, and
Juliana, controlled and sad. With their governess, Charlotte Agnew,
Samuel begins to uncover slowly the horrifying truth behind
Juliana's sadness and Marianne's emotional fragility. Their
discoveries change their perception of life at Fourwinds for ever
and none of their lives will ever be the same again. With her usual
brilliance and ease, Linda Newbery has written a haunting and
faultlessly plotted novel with characters that leap of the page and
stay with the reader long after the last page is turned.
