Synopsis

In "The Little Lame Prince," Dinah Maria Mulock Craik weaves a poignant tale of resilience and imagination through the eyes of a disabled young prince. This 1875 classic combines elements of fantasy and realism, employing a lyrical style that draws on vivid imagery to reflect the inner life of its protagonist. Set against a backdrop of royal intrigue and personal struggle, the narrative explores themes of disability, personal growth, and the transformative power of friendship. Craik'Äôs meticulously crafted prose invites readers to contemplate notions of strength, vulnerability, and the rich tapestry of human experience. Dinah Maria Mulock Craik, a prominent Victorian novelist and poet, was influenced by her own experiences and the societal attitudes toward disability prevalent in her time. Craik'Äôs advocacy for social issues, particularly concerning women's rights and the humane treatment of the less fortunate, is palpably reflected in her empathetic portrayal of the prince's challenges. Her background in literature, combined with a deep understanding of human emotions, shaped her powerful storytelling approach. This exquisitely illustrated tale is highly recommended for readers of all ages, inviting them to reflect on courage and compassion in the face of adversity. "The Little Lame Prince" serves as both a classic work of children's literature and a celebration of the human spirit, making it a worthy addition to any literary collection.

Don't open the box, warned the old man.
But Charlie can't help himself...
Fourteen-year-old London schoolboy Charlie has been looking forward to playing football with his mates in the Christmas holidays. Instead, he is packed off to the wilds of the East Anglian coast to stay with an uncle he barely knows.
It's going to be a tough week. Uncle Patrick's ramshackle house doesn't have wi-fi, his daughter Ariel seems determined to be vile – and who are the mysterious children laughing after dark in the empty bedroom next to Charlie's?
When Charlie finds an ancient brass box buried on the beach, he unleashes a chilling sequence of events. At least these bring him and his grumpy cousin together, as the pair battle to solve the mystery of the 'box of souls' and re-capture the violent ghostly presence wreaking havoc around the town.

Amy feels like everything is going wrong. For a start, she's just found out she isn't going to the same high school as everyone else. Add to that her annoying younger brothers, Pops' worsening dementia and Cassie, her supposed best friend, being meaner than ever, and Amy's summer is not looking promising. Especially when Mum tells her they're moving in with Gran and Pops for the holidays … all the way on the other side of town.
But then she discovers who lives over the road from her grandparents: Jay, the kind, quiet boy from school. Soon Amy realizes that friendship isn't always about who talks the most and the loudest, who does the most exciting things or throws the coolest parties. Sometimes a friend is just someone to talk to, someone to listen. But when outside pressures start to creep back in, can Amy hang on to her summer of silver linings?
A humorous and heartfelt story of new friends, fresh starts and silver linings, for fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Lisa Thompson and Cath Howe.

When a baby is on the way, everyone gets excited, including the little girls and boys who will have a new baby brother or sister to teach, play with, and care for. But sometimes things don't work out as expected. Sometimes a baby doesn't thrive. Sometimes they die and sometimes they can't even be born.  
 
Such a loss is hard on everyone--especially young children who wonder what happened to their baby brother or sister. Where are they now? Are they safe? Do they feel sad too? What about all the wonderful things they would have done if they had lived? Will they get to do them in heaven? 
 
After her sister's family suffered the loss of a baby, bestselling author Annie F. Downs wrote a story for her nephew, Sam, about where his baby brother TJ went. Beautifully illustrated by Jennie Poh, Where Did TJ Go? helps grieving families explain what happened and what kind of experiences a child might be having in heaven with the God who loves them and makes everything good in its time. Tender and sincere, this story doesn't shy away from the hurt even as it offers comfort and hope to those left behind.
