    Upon The Dull Earth - When...

    Philip K. Dick’s Upon the Dull Earth is one of his most haunting and unforgettable explorations of love, death, and the fragile line between heaven and earth. Silvia believes she can commune with angelic beings—radiant, hungry presences drawn to blood and spirit alike. Her lover, Rick, watches helplessly as her fascination turns to obsession, and one act of devotion ignites forces beyond human control. 
What begins as an eerie ritual soon becomes a desperate struggle between worlds, a meditation on faith, resurrection, and the consequences of tampering with the unseen. In the end, Dick turns a love story into a cosmic tragedy that questions the very fabric of existence. 
Philip K. Dick (1928–1982) remains one of the most visionary minds in science fiction. His stories inspired films like Blade Runner, Minority Report, and Total Recall, and his writing continues to shape the genre with its strange blend of emotion, paranoia, and wonder. Upon the Dull Earth shows why his imagination remains timeless—both tender and terrifying.

    Stars and Stripes, two young falcons, are introduced to the life of a bird of prey in a big city. With their parents' guidance, the young birds learn to catch pigeons (and not the "fowl" balls that come from the nearby baseball stadium); how to interact with humans (who are kind enough to feed the local pigeon "livestock"); and finally, how to fly, the final skill that will allow them to leave their concrete home to hunt for food and start their own homes and families.
Told with tongue in cheek humor that will keep readers chuckling from cover to cover.

Alfie has a routine. To be honest he has a lot of routines. 
But then one day Alfie’s babysitter is unavailable, and Alfie’s parents get Mrs Stokes instead. Mrs Stokes doesn’t do routines. Instead, she just tells Alfie to do what he likes. And that’s when things start to go weird. 
Does everything get hilariously out of control? Yes. 
Does Alfie learn a valuable lesson? Nah. This isn’t that kind of story… 
DISCOVER CHRISSIE… THE GIRL WHO HAD NEVER BEEN ON A TRAIN! 
Chrissie loves trains. She has train books, train pictures – and, of course, model trains. But Chrissie has never been on an actual train. In part, because Chrissie doesn't find getting around as easy as other people. Then, Chrissie finally gets on a train, with her Grandpa Henry, to go down to London for an important operation. Her parents and Henry hope the journey will take Chrissie's mind off things. 
And they're right: but in a way they couldn't possibly imagine. Because Chrissie's trip from Scotland to London turns out to be quite literally magical – and changes her life forever. 
MARVEL AT ARIEL… THE CHILD WHO HAD NEVER BEEN ON HOLIDAY! 
Every year, Max, Lily and Jack are taken to Snoring-On-Sea for their holiday – quite possibly the most boring town in the world. There’s nothing to do and nothing to see – even the beach at Snoring-on-Sea is dull and grey. 
But this year, something DOES happen. The children meet someone on a tiny island out at sea – a mysterious child called Ariel. Ariel claims to have never left their tiny island, and to Ariel, everything about Max, Lily and Jack’s lives is amazing – fish and chips, fizzy drinks… even the view of the brick wall out of their bedroom window. 
And their new friend forces Max, Lily and Jack to see Snoring-On-Sea in a whole new light… 
Three hilarious, heart-warming and adventure-filled stories that will have you laughing out loud! 
David Baddiel, the Sunday Times bestselling author, brings us Only Children, a top juvenile fiction that is as humorous as it is fantastical. The family's journey, filled with travel and transportation, is a testament to his ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

    A chic biography about Eunice W. Johnson who brought elegant and contemporary fashion to Black America through the annual EBONY Fashion Fair! Eunice W. Johnson believed in the power of fashion and beauty to inspire people. After she and her husband, John H. Johnson, founded EBONY magazine, it quickly became the premiere lifestyle publication for mid-century Black readers. Among the many hats she wore, Eunice delighted in writing a fashion column describing the latest styles. In 1958, Eunice launched a project that would change fashion forever--the EBONY Fashion Fair. In towns and cities across the United States, Black models walked the runway in the freshest trends that season and Black attendees got to see people who looked like them in bright colors and haute couture. To make the Fashion Fair happen every year, Eunice negotiated with snobby fashion houses in Europe and navigated racism back home in the US, to acquire the most show-stopping styles for her show. Decades later, her name remains a watchword for glamour and elegance in the Black community. Winner of Lee & Low's New Voices award, Miles of Style celebrates a visionary who used her influence to showcase the strength and beauty of the Black community.
