Children’s books
The ever-popular narrator, Lowly Worm, is the busiest little guy in town.
He makes sure his animal pals get safely to school; he never forgets to bring an apple for teacher; and he never, ever fights.
Each big page is filled with busy animals, fun events and laugh-aloud fun.
The charming story of Max, his sister Lily, and their long- suffering cat Fluffy. Inspired by a visit to a circus when he was eight, Max wants at all costs to be a circus magician.
His guinea-pigs, and Lily and Fluffy, prove very unwilling participants in his disastrous attempts at classic magic tricks — especially the sawing of a lady in halves. Tensions rise as the school concert looms and Max fears humiliation if he can’t produce the goods. Good fun for age 7+.
Three teens — Ghost, Kate, and Cormac have been recruited by Black Lotus, a training school for ninjas, to retrieve a magic sword stolen by samurai. The Japanese are now world-dominant, held in check only by free America, but it too is now in mortal danger.
Recruiter Makoto explains the reason the three teens have been chosen —each one has a special power which the Black Lotus needs to harness in the frantic quest to retrieve the sword.
There follows plenty of the usual ninja action, thrills, spills and journeys through empires and time zones. But the most entertaining aspect of the story is the characterisation.
All three teens are so different. Ghost, who under certain conditions can make himself invisible, struggles to master the English language and mixes his metaphors; Kate, who can communicate with animals, finds an unlikely ally in a tiny mouse whose back-to-front sentence constructions are hilarious; Irish boy Cormac has the ability to travel at breathtaking speed.
Ami, the fourth teen they meet at training camp, can read minds. It is the interplay between the characters that makes this a really special adventure story. Age 12+
