  Pinch’s magic has arrived … and it’s causing a whole load of trouble!  
  Pinch Perkins is very excited that her Spark magic is finally here – she has been having so much fun bringing things to life (although Sir Furalot, her beloved teddy bear, is not happy about it!). But with magic comes responsibility – and when Pinch is told off one too many times by her mum and dad for causing chaos, she starts to wonder if being magical is all it’s cracked up to be. 
  Then Pinch starts to have strange dreams, feeling like someone – something – is watching her. Surely it can’t be the strange tree, the one with bewitching red leaves, that has appeared on Tricky Dragon Lane? 
  When Pinch awakens one night deep in the forest – an enchanted place full of dangerous and mysterious creatures – unicorns, highway men, ghosts! – she realises that she has been trapped by an evil, ancient spirit bound to the heart of a tree. The only way Pinch can defeat this spirit is by embracing her Spark magic. The future of the magical world depends on it! 
  For fans of Abi Elphinstone (Ember Spark and the Unicorn's Secret), Alex T. Smith (Anyone For Strawberries?), Sharna Jackson (The Nine Night Mystery), and Harry Woodgate (Tales From Beyond the Rainbow).

  Growing up in segregated 1930’s Charlottesville, ten-year-old Allie is determined to find a man for her mama to marry— but not just any man will do! 
   
  Allie’s life with Mama isn’t bad, but she knows it could be better if Mama would find someone to marry. Allie’s worst enemy, her NOT-friend Gwen, has a daddy, and Allie wants someone like that—someone to fix things when they break, someone who likes to sing, and has a kind-smile. 
   
  So Allie makes a plan—her super secret Man-For-Mama plan. She has a list of candidates with a clear top choice: Mr. Johnson, who owns the antique store. Best of all, Mr. Johnson went to school with Mama, and he wants to get reacquainted! The battle’s half won, and Allie is sure that when he tries Mama’s yummy chicken and dumplings, he’ll be head over heels. 
   
  But someone else is interested in Mama: Mr. Coles, Allie’s teacher, who’s also Gwen’s uncle! Mama can’t marry him—no way is Allie going to be related to Gwen. On top of it all, Allie’s best friend is moving to Chicago; Allie keeps getting in trouble; and everyone seems to think she’s jealous of Gwen, for some reason. Nothing is going how she planned, but Allie is determined to get things back on track toward the life she knows she and Mama both deserve. . . even if Mama doesn’t agree yet.

  It is Halloween. Spid is reading a book about The Legend of Wookey Hollow. There are lots of spooky goings-on … and the pumpkins are not what they seem …This audiobook features two songs: 'Wookey Whoo!' and 'The Gang'. You can also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider.  Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.
