Olivia is sad and lonely and angry - angry that she's been dumped
with her sister, Eel, at her grandmother's school, and angrier
still that that school turns out to be a stage school where there's
no encouragement for her to do what she loves best: practise her
circus skills. But in the course of a turbulent first term, Olivia
finds out much more than she bargained for about the theatre, about
friendship, about enemies, about her family and about herself.

and Juliet in the West End. It makes Olivia realise just how much
she wants to be an actress, like her mum was. But her father asks

School of Theatre and Dance. But when the curtain falls, will
everyone get their fairytale happy ending?
It's pantomime season at Campions' Palace of Varieties and Wonders - but Rose Campion and her friends have more to worry about than who'll be filling the role of Cinderella.
The Duchess - the deadly ruler of the London criminal underworld - has been released from prison, and she has her sights set not only on Rose, but also on a pricesless emerald necklace that has just arrived in the city.
Meanwhile, Campions' is playing host to the mysterious hypnotist Madame de Valentina - but how is she able to communicate with the souls of departed loved ones . . . before they've died?
Taking inspiration from numerous fairytales and weaving them into a
wholly original story, INTO THE WOODS is a whirlwind of a novel,
full of imaginative happenings, dastardly deeds and thrilling
adventure. Our guides are sisters three: Storm, Aurora and Anything
Eden. Accidentally orphaned and left to fend for themselves in a
decaying mansion on the edge of the wilds, they come to the very
much unwanted attention of the sinister Dr DeWilde: a scar-faced
gentleman with a pied waistcoat and an unhealthy interest in rats.
He's after a tiny little musical pipe that Storm has inherited, and
he'll stop at nothing to get it. Fleeing into the woods, our
courageous and eccentric sisters evade kidnap (almost), resist the
temptation of sweet-filled orphanages (nearly!), and begin a
treacherous journey across raging rivers, over mountains of ice,
through deathly silent ghost towns and beyond the lairs of
child-eating ogresses. With ravenously hungry wolves snapping at
their heels every step of the way! Featuring wonderful
illustrations by award-winning illustrator Mini Grey, INTO THE
WOODS is a classic tale with a very modern twist and will delight
readers of every generation.
