  It's finally time for the school trip! And we're off to the SPOOKIEST castle I have EVER seen!
  
  Bea Black is in her second term at witch school and she can't wait for the Year Seven residential trip to the haunted Cadabra Castle. The students are excited to fly around the famous GO pitch, explore the ancient turrets and have a magical time … if they can just stop arguing! Except Ms Sparks has other plans – this isn't a holiday, it's a team-building exercise for a class who desperately need to learn to work together.
  
  But with rumours of a ghost terrorizing the castle, Bea has a lot more to contend with than scavenger hunts and hikes! Not least being paired up with Blair Smith-Smythe, her ULTIMATE frenemy! Will the class learn anything from their time at Cadabra? And more importantly, will Bea and Blair manage to avoid hexing each other for long enough to solve the spooky mystery?

  "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.

  Gulliver's Travels, originally Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships is a 1726 prose satire by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, satirising both human nature and the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best-known full-length work and a classic of English literature. The English dramatist John Gay remarked, "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery." The book has been adapted into films, movies and theatrical performances over the centuries. The book was an immediate success, and Swift claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels "to vex the world rather than divert it".
