Everest with AJ

Matt Dickinson

Sinopse

'The pilot barely saw them, just a flash of fur, a hint of creatures fast moving and feral. Two thuds came in quick succession. The plane veered violently to the left. The front wheel strut collapsed. Screams from the cabin. The port-side propeller hit the tarmac, shattering instantly in a carbon-fibre cloudburst.'
Kian is on a journey. A journey he's not sure he wants to make, deep into the Himalaya, tagging along on his dad's expedition to test a new system for predicting earthquakes. He's far from his friends and the world he knows and loves. Far from his mum who is about to give birth to a baby with her new partner. Then comes the crash and everything changes. Kian saves the life of an injured dog. He calls the stray A.J. and a bond is formed. A bond of trust, a bond of friendship. A bond which will be put to the ultimate test by the destructive powers of nature.
Kian and his new friend reach Base Camp but the welcome is as icy as the slopes of Everest. Kian's dad wants him to get rid of the dog. Can Kian and his dad resolve their differences before it is too late? What about the spooky way that A.J. seems to be able to predict earthquakes?
Tension is building, deep beneath the ground. Kian and his father are in far more danger than they realise …
What can A.J. sense? And is anyone ready to listen?

Mistfalls Wilderness Camp is an awful place, a series of islands in the rainy Northwest, populated by delinquents and outcasts from their families. It is supposed to be a remedial place—but Taylor soon learns something else is happening here. They are training the kids here for something. But what?

These kids are all different, not normal somehow. And as Taylor herself goes through changes she doesn't understand, she can't help but wonder: is she different, too?

But when she finds herself having a crush on a mysterious boy, Taylor realizes he is not what he seems—and that her own destiny may be far greater than she imagined.

But will their forbidden love take them both down for good?

Weaving a world of fantasy, love, destiny and sacrifice, WISH is a page-turning vampire saga, one that will whisk you away to another place and make you fall in love with a bold new heroine as you turn pages late into the night.

Ocean Times

Anita Mulvey

Siblings Alexander and Lily did not have great expectations. Most of their friends were jetting off abroad for much-needed and much-missed holidays after the strain of the first Covid-19 lockdown. They had wanted to fly abroad too, perhaps to somewhere with a welcoming, warm climate, somewhere exciting and exotic. But the money set aside for this vacation had been swallowed up when their mum's old car had broken down.

So, they were setting off instead for a 'staycation' in Brampton Sands, a location so remote that there weren't even any motorways leading to it! Of course, they were looking forward to a holiday with their mother, but could a 'staycation' in their own country really match up to a wonderful trip abroad?

Ocean Times is an inspiring and heart-warming tale of friendship, fun and resilience, with a delightful measure of magic. Readers new to the main characters will be captivated by them, while old friends from Dragon Times will be enchanted once more.

Book of Names - (Don't Doubt the...

Anthony Kessel

The final, and most compelling book in the award-winning Don't Doubt the Rainbow quartet, delivers a gripping mystery while bringing teen detective Edie Marble's journey full circle. As in previous books, multiple mysteries unfold, but the stakes are higher than ever for our heroine.
The two stories unfolding in parallel are set in modern-day Britain and in the shadow of the Second World War - creating a thrilling adventure that traverses time.
At the height of her fame, Edie receives the George Cross for bravery and finds herself drawn into a mystery that connects to her own family and her late mother's final case. What begins as an investigation into lost art soon becomes Edie's most profound case yet, leading her from Amsterdam to Auschwitz, and into the heart of a deeply personal crime against humanity.
Meanwhile, in 1940s Poland, thirteen-year-old Ida, Edie's great aunt, navigates the unimaginable as the Nazis seize control of her hometown, Zyrardow.
Decades apart but bound by blood, Edie and Ida's stories intertwine in a powerful search for justice and truth. But for Edie, exposing this horrendous crime forces her to confront danger of the highest order that threatens not only her own safety, but the safety of those she loves.
Through Edie's adventures and challenges, she has learned to understand and harness her innate wellbeing. In this final instalment of the series, that wisdom becomes the blueprint she carries forward - helping her face life's challenges with clarity and trust in her own resilience.
