  One summer, when both his parents are away for work, Oskar is sent to the countryside to live with his grandma. A dreary prospect turns into disaster when Oskar realises he left his mobile phone back at home. What will he do all summer now?
  Lonely and bored, Oskar crafts a phone out of a block of wood he finds in the shed and uses it to pretend to call things. To his surprise, the things reply! He speaks to a tough-talking iron, a poetising bin, a bloodthirsty wardrobe, a red balloon that gets tangled in the crown of a birch tree, and many more. Oskar finds himself in high demand, helping the things solve their problems and achieve their dreams.
  Oskar and the Things is a charming book about the power of the imagination and friendship, by Estonia's leading children's writer, Andrus Kivirähk. With a lively translation by Adam Cullen, and the original illustrations by Anne Pikkov, it is the perfect gift for an introverted child with a rich inner life.

  Peter Pan

  "To die will be an awfully big adventure."
  
  When Peter Pan flies through the nursery window of the Darling family, he isn't just looking for his lost shadow—he's looking for a mother for his band of Lost Boys. Leading Wendy, John, and Michael across the sky to the second star to the right, Peter introduces them to Neverland: a world of mermaids, fairies, and the villainous Captain Jas. Hook. But beneath the whimsy lies a poignant reality. Peter's "eternal youth" comes at the cost of his memory and heart, creating a world where the only thing more dangerous than a pirate is the passage of time.
  
  The Psychology of the Never-Bird: Barrie's Peter Pan is a "tragic boy"—heartless, forgetful, and innocent. Unlike the Disney version, the original Peter is a feral figure who "thins" the ranks of the Lost Boys when they grow too old. The novel explores the "Mother" archetype through Wendy, who must eventually choose between the magic of Neverland and the responsibility of the real world.
  
  The Dual Duel: Hook vs. Peter: The rivalry between Peter and Hook is a clash of philosophies. Hook, a man of "Good Form" and educated at Eton, represents the rigid, decaying world of adulthood and mortality—stalked literally by the ticking clock inside the Crocodile. Peter represents the chaotic, amoral freedom of youth. Their battle is not just about survival, but about the very nature of identity.
  
  Experience the magic and the melancholy. Purchase "Peter Pan" today and fly to the shores of Neverland.
