Little Owl must be more careful when he is sleeping. He has fallen from his nest, and with a bump he lands on the ground. Where is his mummy? With the earnest assistance of his new friend Squirrel, Little Owl sets off in search of her, and meets a sequence of other animals.
YA A DARK, GRIPPING AND WITTY THRILLER IN WHICH THE ONLY THING HUMANITY HAS CONTROL OVER IS DEATH.
IN A WORLD WHERE DISEASE, WAR AND CRIME HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED, THE ONLY WAY TO DIE IS TO BE RANDOMLY KILLED ("GLEANED") BY PROFESSIONAL SCYTHES. CITRA AND ROWAN ARE TEENAGERS WHO HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO BE SCYTHES' APPRENTICES, AND DESPITE WANTING NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VOCATION, THEY MUST LEARN THE ART OF KILLING AND UNDERSTAND THE NECESSITY OF WHAT THEY DO.
A story of friendship and greed, loyalty and courage. It stars such characters as: young Jim Hawkins, the terrifying Blind Pew, the wild man Ben Gunn, and one of literature's most dastardly villains, the charming, crafty, and utterly unscrupulous Long John Silver.
A picture book debut by a rising talent tells a cumulative tale with a cheeky twist, aided by graphically simple, and truly hilarious, illustrations.
The bear's hat is gone, and he wants it back. Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. Each animal says no, some more elaborately than others. But just as he begins to lose hope, lying flat on his back in despair, a deer comes by and asks a rather obvious question that suddenly sparks the bear's memory and renews his search with a vengeance. Told completely in dialogue, this quirky take on the classic repetitive tale plays out in sly illustrations laced with visual humour and winks at the reader with a wry irreverence that will have kids of all ages thrilled to be in on the joke.
