Sinopse

A hugely gripping, fast-paced mystery adventure, with brilliant twists and turns, from a fresh and exciting new voice in children's books.
When twelve-year-old Lily moves to the sleepy seaside town of Edge, she's sure that nothing exciting is ever going to happen to her again. But when she stumbles upon a secret museum hidden in the middle of town, she realises that there might be more to her new home than meets the eye.
The Museum of Emily is filled with the belongings of one seemingly ordinary girl - a girl who, many years ago, disappeared from the town without a trace. With the help of her new friends Sam and Jay, Lily is determined to solve the mystery and find out who Emily was, why she disappeared and who has created the strange, hidden museum.
With a one-of-a-kind mystery, a brilliant trio of protagonists, and an action-filled story, Looking for Emily is the unmissable middle grade debut of 2022.

    Double-Cross - When Revolution...

    A diplomatic visit to Venus is supposed to end quietly, with formal handshakes and a routine departure. Instead, unseen listeners hear something they were never meant to hear, and a private decision hardens into a plan that allows no retreat. What follows is not a race against time, but a tightening trap where loyalty is tested in silence and hesitation becomes as dangerous as action. 
    As the Earth-ship prepares to lift, a small group convinces itself that delay equals extinction. Their solution is precise, technical, and merciless—but it requires one of them to step forward alone. When no one does, the plan begins to rot from the inside. Suspicion replaces trust, resolve turns brittle, and a single choice quietly reshapes who will pay the final cost. 
    Double-Cross is a tense, compact story that strips sabotage down to its most human elements: fear of replacement, the urge to control outcomes, and the terror of being the only one willing to act. Pohl refuses to soften the moment where intention meets consequence, letting the pressure build until a decision is made that cannot be undone. 
    Frederik Pohl was already an active presence in professional science fiction when Double-Cross appeared, publishing frequently in magazines such as Astounding Science Fiction and Galaxy. He would later become one of the field’s most influential editors and novelists, but this early story shows his sharp instinct for moral pressure and social fracture. Even at short length, Pohl demonstrates how quickly a justified cause can collapse once fear dictates the rules.

    A contemporary middle-grade story about friendship, trust, and finding your people. 
    Sixth grade was supposed to be a fresh start—new lockers, new classes, and new chances. For Lena, Kayla, Theo, Malik, and Cam, it began that way. However, when rumors spread and a “friend” almost tore their group apart, everything changed. 
    Suddenly, the inside jokes were not as funny. The group chat became quiet. They wondered if their friendship was over for good. 
    However, sometimes, falling apart is what helps you see what really matters. 
    How It All Fell Together is a realistic middle-grade novel about the messy side of friendship—the awkward silences, the sting of being left out, and the courage it takes to rebuild when everything feels broken. 
    Perfect for readers aged 9–13 who love relatable school stories, friendship drama, and heartwarming second chances, this book reminds us that friendship is not always easy—but when you find your people, you hold on.
