Belle-on-Sea is getting ready for the Night of the Hungry Ghosts,
the spookiest time of the year. Mr Vanderpuff's bake will be the
centrepiece of the whole parade, but he needs a new creation and
he’s totally stumped. To make matters worse, salty old seadog,
Captain Lufty, and his Hat Rat, Barry, have warned that something
is coming to Belle-on-Sea. Something terrible… When a ghost train
is seen rattling into town, and people start to go missing –
first the librarian, then the Mayor – Bridget and Tom begin
tracking the train’s tracks, delighted to be in the thick of
another mystery. Then the unthinkable happens: the ghost train
takes Mr Vanderpuff! Someone – or something – is out to destroy
Belle-on-Sea. But they’ve forgotten one important detail… This
is Bridget’s town. Bridget must save the missing people from
their perilous prisons, rescue the parade, and come up with an idea
for Mr Vanderpuff’s Hungry Ghosts bake, before it’s too late.
The first in a new madcap, hilarious series about Bridget
Vanderpuff, whipsmart inventor and amateur sleuth with a taste for
adventure. It's a recipe for fun with mystery, villainy, cake and
sprinkles of silliness, heart and hope. Bridget Baxter is the very
last orphan at the Orphanage for Errant Childs, left at the mercy
of the awful Miss Acrid and her foul-smelling fish sandwiches. Miss
Acrid's mission is to make Bridget's life a misery. But Bridget is
more than a match for her. When kindly Mr Vanderpuff arrives at the
Orphanage in search of a child to care for, Bridget thinks her luck
has finally turned. Mr Vanderpuff is the village baker, and his
shop is a world of wonders. But they soon discover that Bridget is
absolutely terrible at baking. When Miss Acrid returns for the
ultimate revenge, Bridget must open the Locked and Secret Door,
navigate Miss Acrid's spiderweb of booby traps and use her unique
baking skills to save herself - and Mr Vanderpuff - from certain
disaster. Join Bridget as she dons her chef whites and gets the
kwassongs at the ready... Baking isn't such a piece of cake.

Place management as a framework for public governance is not a new
concept. The place management debate reflects many of the more
durable themes in the evolution of public management and public
policy. One of the new dimensions of the debate is the extent to
which place management can deliver a social capital effect. If it
can, its value as a major shift in public governance will increase
dramatically. The study situates place management in a spectrum of
possibilities. To the extent that place management transcends an
instrumental definition to challenge the underlying system of
governance, it is more likely to deliver a social capital dividend.
The study concludes that place management, if it reflects and
reinforces the attributes of social capital, it can made a major
contribution to public management. A key question is the extent to
which place management can be institutionalized as a core and
consistent component of public management. The thesis looks at the
prospects for the institutionalization process within the context
of a "holistic governance" framework.

Fifteen-year-old Wulliam is dreading taking up his family's mantle
of Riverkeep, tending the river and fishing corpses from its
treacherous waters. But then everything changes. One night his
father is possessed by a dark spirit, and Wull hears that a cure
lurks deep within the great sea-beast known as the mormorach. He
realizes he must go on an epic journey downriver to find it - or
lose Pappa forever.
An atmospheric, chilling page turner from rising star Martin Stewart, reminiscent of Stand by Me and Stranger Things.
Sep, Arkle, Mack, Lamb and Hadley: five friends thrown together one hot, sultry summer. When they discover an ancient stone box hidden in the forest, they decide to each make a sacrifice: something special to them, committed to the box for ever. And they make a pact: they will never return to the box at night; they'll never visit it alone; and they'll never take back their offerings.
Four years later, the gang have drifted apart. Then a series of strange and terrifying events take place, and Sep and his friends understand that one of them has broken the pact.
As their sacrifices haunt them with increased violence and hunger, they realise that they are not the first children to have found the box in their town's history. And ultimately, the box may want the greatest sacrifice of all: one of them.
