(Books/All genres) (ISBN:9781842702260)

The man from the big house on the hill is called Mr Bear: he is always as cross as a bear. When the fair comes to town, he sees a muzzled and chained bear, jabbed with a stick to make him dance. It stirs him up, and the bear ends up on the cool grass, as he had always dreamed.

0. I Found Your Diary - Paperback   £5.99
by Frances Thomas
(Books/All genres) (ISBN:9781842703472)

Surely a diary is private - but when Tom Palmer found one thrown in a skip, he didn't feel too bad about reading it. And he found what it contained fascinating. The diarist, Hannah, writes about the attraction she feels for the charismatic new English teacher at her school. But she also mentions glimpsing a ghostly figure of her own self as a down-and-out. Tom is told that to see such a ghost of oneself (a Fetch), is an omen of one's death, so he worries about what has happened to Hannah. He tries to find her, even if only to give the diary back. But is the girl he meets at the end really Hannah - or the Fetch?
 
Awards & Reviews

Out of Shadows

by Jason Wallace

'Excellent. [Out of Shadows is] the
latest lacerating addition to the
boarding-school-as-living-hell genre
... read on if you have the courage.
The author attended a similar
establishment at the age of 12,
and gives every indication of knowing
exactly what he is writing about.'

Elmer's Special Day

by David McKee



'The first Elmer book seemed like a great and original one-off, McKee's extraordinary imagination and colourful art have between them maintained originality and delight over all these years: amazing.' Chris Brown, School Librarian
