A range of simple stories for new readers, with beautiful colour
illustrations. With a shrill whistle the Night Train is off,
delivering its passengers to children’s dreams. The yeti, the
ballet dancer, the friendly monster and the princess all have
starring roles. Then the train comes to an unexpected halt. A tree
has fallen across the track and there’s no way the guard can move
it on his own. It’s a race against time and the passengers will
need to use all their talents to get the train moving again. Can
they reach their dreams before midnight? An uplifting story
celebrating the power of working together by Matilda Woods, author
of THE BOY, THE BIRD AND THE COFFIN MAKER, gorgeously illustrated
by debut artist Penny Neville-Lee.
Classic-feeling storytelling with bags of charm. Fans of thrilling
animal adventure and enchanting underground worlds will fall in
love with Wishyouwas. It's 1952 in smog-shrouded London. Christmas
might be fast approaching, but with her mum away and Uncle Frank
busy running the post office, Penny Black is lonelier than ever.
All that changes when Penny discovers a small, fluffy, funny,
springy and - most importantly - talking creature in the post
office one night, trying to make off with a letter. But Wishyouwas
is no thief. He's a Sorter, and he soon introduces Penny to a
fascinating secret world hidden in the tunnels underneath the
city's streets. Self-appointed guardians of lost mail, the Sorters
have dedicated their lives to rescuing letters that have gone
astray and making sure they get delivered to their rightful owners.
Penny is determined to protect the Sorters, but how long will she
be able to keep them safe with Stanley Scrawl, the sinister Royal
Mail Rat Catcher, on the prowl? Can Penny save the Sorters and
deliver a joyful Christmas?

book has vanished. Does the tall mysterious stranger who first
discovered Finn know more than they will admit? Each day, more
children are found frozen and Bianca realizes she’s running out
of time. Her quest to discover the truth and rescue her little
brother hurls her into a fantastical winter wonderland, full of
beauty and danger, where all is not as it seems. Can Bianca save
