    YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES & JOHN WATSON 
    The case of the stolen penny farthing bicycle. 
    This completely new story I have written involves the 10 year old boys who will be the great detective Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, his assistant, when they grow up, this is their formative years where they perfect their skills before adulthood on what my appear to be inconsequential subjects, but the principle remains the same. 
    This is just one of an extensive series I will be publishing as audio books in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first one, and its only 99 pence, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment. 
    I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, a violin Holme's musical instrument of choice and is energetic and the closing music ends the tale on a more restrained mode and only about 1 minute. 
    The story itself runs to about just over 5 minutes and is of course a short story, it is read in my own voice. 
    The story involves the theft of a penning farthing bicycle owned by the son, Leopold 12 years old of the Duke of Westminster, who live in Grosvenor Square London in the late 1900's. Needless to say Holmes solves the mystery with aplomb and goes onto his next case. 
    The stories are designed to be entertaining to children of approximately the same age around 10 years old due to the characters involved. 
    I do hope you and you children, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

    Carnegie Medal winner Katya Balen returns with a stunning tale about a fractured bond between father and son – and the injured bird that helps to heal it. 
    When Noah’s dad visits from New York, he and Noah come across an injured nightjar during a walk in the countryside. Noah is determined to save the bird, but his dad believes they should leave it alone to let nature take its course. As father and son argue, it becomes clear that Noah is angry about more than just the bird. He feels abandoned and misunderstood by his dad, who has moved to the US and started a new family there that doesn’t seem to have room for Noah. Can they find a way to build a new relationship and rediscover the common ground between them? 
    In Nightjar, Balen presents a compelling narrative that explores the emotional turmoil of a teenager grappling with his parents divorce. The story, while short, is packed with themes that will resonate with many young readers, making it an excellent choice for reluctant readers.
