Fault Lines

Janet Sumner Johnson

SOME SECRETS CAN’T STAY LOCKED AWAY.  
 
After the incredible events of the last official Winterton Bee, Hope and Gordon Smith have discovered that having an extended family isn’t so bad … and maybe their famous relatives’ lives aren’t so charmed. But Hope is still hiding a secret, and it’s a big one. 
 
When Elizabeth Springer goes missing just before the Wintertons’ big Thanksgiving celebration—their first reunion since the spelling bee—Hope knows it’s time to come clean. Especially if it means saving Ms. Springer. But none of the Winterton clan wants to hear it. Worse, they accuse Hope of making up the whole story for attention. 
 
Ready to give up on her newfound family, Hope gets a cryptic coded letter with instructions on how to find James Winterton—her long-estranged grandfather.  
 
What’s more, the letter hints that Jane Winterton hid away much more than a simple treasure. Now Hope and Gordon face the impossible task of convincing their family to follow a shifty clue to find the man they want to see least, in order to save the woman who’s been lying to them for years. 
 
With even more family intrigue and peppered with delicious literary what-ifs, the second installment in the middle grade The Winterton Deception series delivers another twisty, electric puzzle mystery young sleuths will eagerly devour.

Laughter is the Best Medicine:...

Peter Sykes

It is said that a surgeon must have ‘the eyes of a hawk, the heart of a lion, and the hands of a lady,’ but have you ever wondered how a surgeon learns to operate, how he ‘cuts his teeth’ progressing from naive newly-qualified doctor to competent surgeon? 
In this collection of medical tales, the training of one slightly naive young trainee is viewed through the experiences of the patients he treats as he embarks on this most challenging of careers. We share his joy when things go well, his anguish when they don’t and learn that, at the end of the day, compassion and a sense of humour make wonderful medicine.
