Beschreibung

Ada has lived close to the great rainforest for her whole life, helping her beloved Papa Eze to heal fello villagers when they fall sick. But when Papa Eze himself becomes ill, he knows he must tell Ada the truth about her real identity – something he has kept hidden to protect his daughter from danger. Ada must now travel deep into the forest and discover the ancient Edo kingdom of Benin, connect with her past and to use everything within her power to heal the terrible divisions that are tearing the kingdom apart. Pursued by those who want her dead, Ada sets off on a journey which will test her strength to the limit – with just her friends, the guidance of her ancestors and her own self-belief to help her.
Children of the Benin Kingdom is fast paced adventure story, set in one of Africa's most fascinating civilisations, the Edo Kingdom of Benin. Written by British Nigerian author Dinah Orji, the book appeals to any child that likes to be transported to another world and is about friendship, loyalty and the bonds of family. The story is rich in historical detail and the cultural traditions of West Africa and as accurate historical fiction it is also perfect for celebrating Black history.

    Prince Harvey had a great life. 
    He was very handsome (some would say, too handsome for his own good). He was heavily doted on by his parents, and the ladies were crazy about him. 
    Still, he had a good heart. 
    He spent his days swimming, fishing, practising his target shooting, and getting up to general high jinks with his cousin and best friend, Ralphie. He also enjoyed tearing about the kingdom on Black Terror (ironically, a rather timid horse). 
    Until, one day, he got on the heretofore good witch Bettina’s nerves so much that she turned him into a scarecrow and banished him to an unknown apple orchard. 
    (Well, it was unknown to Harvey. Obviously the owners of the orchard knew about it). 
    What a pickle! 
    Meanwhile, the princess of a neighbouring kingdom had her own set of problems. She was getting into the questionable habit of discussing those problems, and everything else dear to her heart, with the new resident scarecrow. 
    What does fate have in store for these two?

    Ten-and-three-quarter-year-old Laura "Noodle" Newman had high hopes about going to sleepaway camp for the first time. Once she's there, however, Noodle is miserable. No one can help her get over her terrible homesickness. Things go from bad to worse when Noodle panics while talking on the camp's radio station. Noodle's moment to shine becomes a bout of stage fright as her bunkmates laugh at her. As a menacing hurricane heads up the coast, life at Camp Hillside turns upside down. Through the craziness, Noodle realizes that only one person can make her feel better: herself. Told in Noodle's witty, earnest, and distinctive voice, Hurricamp! emulates the quirkiness of Beverly Cleary's Ramona books combined with Judy Blume's relatable dialogue. Parents and children alike will identify with Noodle's vulnerabilities and the humorous lessons she learns on her adventures at Camp Hillside.

    A ghostly ship. A vanishing crew. A secret buried beneath the waves. Can YOU solve the mystery of Blackwood Harbor? 
    When siblings Leo and Maya Carter arrive in the fog-drenched town of Blackwood Harbor, they expect a quiet summer by the sea. Instead, they stumble upon a legend that sends shivers down their spines. Every full moon, a phantom ship appears in the mist, and when it vanishes, so do people. 
    Determined to uncover the truth, Leo, Maya, and their best friend Ethan follow a trail of eerie clues: an abandoned lighthouse locked from the inside, cryptic messages scrawled in the fog, and a shadow lurking beneath the water. But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous the mystery becomes. Because someone—or something—wants to keep Blackwood Harbor’s secrets hidden forever. 
    Packed with spooky twists, daring adventures, and interactive solve-it-yourself clues, this mystery book for kids challenges readers to think like detectives and uncover the truth before it’s too late. 
    A thrilling solve-them-yourself adventure perfect for kids ages 8-12 who love mysteries, puzzles, and stories full of suspense. 
    Can you solve the case before Leo, Maya, and Ethan?

    Welcome to The Confident Ummah, Adab Series. We were inspired to create books for our children and ummah so they can refer to them throughout their early years and better themselves as Muslims. 
    The first 10 years of a child's life are the most impressionable. This is when their foundations are formed and so it is the best time to encourage positive traits, so they are equipped with the tools to live healthy and balanced lives through which they worship and serve Allah. 
    Each storybook has been designed to focus on a main principle, followed by related Qur'an/Hadith quotes. The moral of the story section highlights the core lessons from the storybook. Finally, we have included an activity page which is designed to encourage your child to implement the story's lessons. 
    Our stories are based on questions our children ask us and scenarios we have come across in our daily lives whilst homeschooling them.
