    Frankly, Agaton Sax should know better than to go on vacation. At least, this time, he’s managed to enjoy some rest and relaxation without stumbling into a criminal conspiracy.On the way home however, it’s a different story…from a slow train through Brosnia to a castle in Edinburgh and onwards to a motorboat speeding across the North Sea, Agaton Sax is up against a criminal mastermind who is almost - but not quite - as clever as he is.And there’s garlic. Far too much garlic.The Agaton Sax series of books were first published in Sweden, later being translated into English and printed with illustrations by much-loved artist Quentin Blake (perhaps best known for his work on the books of Roald Dahl). The English translations became immensely popular, achieving the status of the most re-issued mystery & detective series in the history of Nordic children's literature.Now, for the first time, Oak Tree Books is proud to publish the entire Agaton Sax series in audio format, newly translated for the next generation and expertly narrated by Barnaby Eaton-Jones.

    Collected poems from one of the Twentieth Century's most influential voices. 
    Frank O’Hara was one of the great poets of the twentieth century and, along with such widely acclaimed writers as Denise Levertov, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Creeley, and Gary Snyder, a crucial contributor to what Donald Allen termed the New American Poetry, “which, by its vitality alone, became the dominant force in the American poetic tradition.” 
    Frank O’Hara was born in Baltimore in 1926 and grew up in New England; from 1951 he lived and worked in New York, both for Art News and for the Museum of Modern Art, where he was an associate curator. O’Hara’s untimely death in 1966 at the age of forty was, in the words of fellow poet John Ashbery, “the biggest secret loss to American poetry since John Wheelwright was killed.”. 
    This collection is a reissue of a volume first published by Grove Press in 1957, and it demonstrates beautifully the flawless rhythm underlying O’Hara’s conviction that to write poetry, indeed to live, “you just go on your nerve.

    The collection consists of Xenia's life, a very creative and dreamy girl who shares her adventures with her cousin Alex, who will be always accompanying her. The children's laughter attracts the attention of Mr Black Hole, the most fearsome monster in the Cosmos, who schemes up a plan to make Chatipan and the children disappear. They also have a meeting with the Prince of the Galaxies, who shows them his starry gardens, which include the Milky Way, the home of our beautiful planet Earth. The Galactic Girl takes them back to her village called Santa Pau, in the north of Catalonia, Spain. 
    The author, in addition to being the owner of these two collections for children, in 2022 published two novels in Spanish: "Los entresijos de una vida" and "Heridas silenciosas”. Both based on real events that happened to Petry, a Chilean orphan, who travels to Spain to find her roots. All books can be found in en www.amazon.com or in “Tibet House Foundation”, of Barcelona, Roselló, 181, Bcn. Mas información en: www.chatipan.net 
    Between 2024 and 2025, the writer donated all her books to the “Tibet House Foundation”, of Barcelona, to contribute to the education of Tibetan orphans who have fled Tibet. This is because the Chinese authorities are erasing their Tibetan language and traditions in schools, requiring children to learn only Mandarin. Help the cause please, by buying a book. 
    Thanks

    Rymer Strauss and his dad were looking for kids's books that teach about business, but they couldn’t find any. There were surprised when they couldn’t find books that teach kids what it’s like to be an entrepreneur. The truth is, there just aren’t many books that teach young people how to start their own business or how to think about money.So Rymer decided to write one, and that’s where “The Big Money Squeeze” started. He believes other kids deserve to learn how to take charge of achieving their own goals and to be inspired to start businesses. He doesn’t think you have to be in college or even high school to learn how to manage money. Kids in elementary school can start thinking about these things too.Rymer is a go-getter in real life. After successfully building nearly every Lego set ever created, he recently took on the task of building the Death Star. Amazingly, it is still in one piece despite his little sister, his brothers, and all his friends who like to play with it!

    This story is about how to be different and accept yourself as you are. We are all unique, and it's amazing. Once upon a stunning morning in the depths of the deep blue ocean, a wee fish peeped out from a tangle of seaweed behind a colossal rock for the very first time. As it surveyed the surroundings, it spotted a seahorse, a baby turtle, a dolphin calf, and a small moonfish frolicking in the sun-drenched sandy shore. The little fish realized that although it was still small, it was no longer the tiniest creature in terms of size. However, it was still keen on joining in on the fun and games, for it was little too...
