Sunday Times Children’s Book of the Week
A hilarious adventure for readers aged 9+ from the author of Escape from Camp Boring. When Things Went Wild is also a timely call to protect our environment.
When Kit’s family move to a crumbling house in the Scottish Highlands, he’s got a lot to deal with – terrible Wi-Fi, a new school in the middle of nowhere, and, as always, his annoying little brother, Jack. But it’s not until the brothers find a strange object on the moors that Kit’s problems really begin.
A policewoman comes knocking, and the boys learn that they have found a tracker that has been removed from the leg of a golden eagle. The illegal killing of these majestic birds is all too common, and now a pair of nesting eagles are under threat. Kit and Jack start to investigate, soon joined by Tamora – the most popular girl in school – and her younger sister, Bea.
Who is trying to harm the eagles, and why? Chief suspects are landowner Lord Cavendish, local farmer McNab and sinister game keeper Mosby . . . Can the city kids cope with the country – and catch the culprit?
Tom Mitchell, the Sunday Times bestselling author, once again proves his knack for creating captivating stories for young adults. When Things Went Wild is a testament to his ability to blend humour, action, and a strong message about nature conservation in a way that resonates with the teenage audience.

The Clockmaker of Haunted Dreams...

Al Nika

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Halloween was supposed to be fun. Costumes, pumpkins, glowing streets, a night full of candy and laughter. But when the clocks of the Dreamworld fall silent and the lantern of the old Clockmaker grows dim, Halloween begins to unravel. The shadows seize the dream ticks, spirits whisper through the wind, and the magic that keeps children smiling starts to fade away.
Lina and Kevin were only planning to go trick-or-treating. They never expected to be chosen by the Clockmaker. But the Dreamworld remembers every child who ever wished for courage. With Rex the dog at their side, they step into a moonlit gateway, where haunted dream gears turn in secret chambers, and every street hides a memory of someone’s fear.
Inside the Maze of Haunted Dreams, time bends like a ribbon. Jack-o’-lanterns whisper, spiders weave pathways of stardust, and doorways lead to places where nightmares become real if you look too long. Together, Lina and Kevin must find the missing dream ticks before Halloween collapses, and before the Shadow, a silent hunter that feeds on doubt, steals what remains of the night.
The Clockmaker can guide them, but only from a distance. His lantern cannot walk for them, and dreams always belong to the children who enter them. Lina must learn to believe in herself, Kevin must learn courage that isn’t loud, and Rex must protect the heart of the Dreamworld when its heroes grow afraid.
The Clockmaker of Haunted Dreams is the fourth magical entry in the Clockmaker series, an inspiring journey of bravery, sibling love, and the power of hope when the world feels too dark.
This audiobook brings the warmth of autumn nights, the excitement of childhood adventure, and the timeless wonder that lives inside every dream. Perfect for families, bedtime listening, and anyone who remembers being a child in a world full of mysterious lights and whispered promises.

Mason and Invincible Igor

Robin Heald

Eight-year-old Mason writes and illustrates his own superhero series, "Invincible Igor." Tonight his goal is to finish book six in the series. But with all the interruptions, how can he? His six-year-old sister, animal-loving Alicia, needs Mason's drawing and spelling skills to make a sign that will keep her "pooping machine" guinea pig safe. And now there is a racket coming from the bathroom, thanks to his youngest siblings – four-year-old twins, Jackson and Jillian. It's a big responsibility being the oldest kid in the family. Will Mason ever be able to finish his book? Or maybe something will happen that will inspire the ending. "Mason and Invincible Igor" is written for read-aloud and for early readers. An art activity, and interactive questions to promote memory recall and emotional intelligence are included. ABOUT THE THREE BOOK SERIES: I was in my classroom when a student asked, “I wonder what my sister is doing right now?” The student’s question made me think about a child’s emerging concept of time: that of being aware of life happening elsewhere, outside of the child’s own experience. Each book in the Sapphire Family Series is told from a different point of view: that of the twins, in "Jackson and Jillian," their older sister, Alicia in "Alicia and Annie," and big brother, Mason in "Mason and Invincible Igor." All three books take place during the same period of time, early evening. Although the books can stand alone, read together they offer a three-dimensional exploration of sibling interactions and family dynamics. Reading a story from different points of view is a first step in thinking beyond oneself. My intention is that the Sapphire Family Series will offer children compelling characters with whom they can identify and grow, and present positive, realistic family dynamics that will delight them.
