Summary

In four hours, Shelby Jane Cooper will be struck by a car. 
 
Shortly after, she and her mother will leave the hospital and set out on a winding journey toward the Grand Canyon. 
 
All Shelby knows is that they're running from dangers only her mother understands. And the further they travel, the more Shelby questions everything about her past--and her current reality. Forced to take advantage of the kindness of unsuspecting travelers, Shelby grapples with what's real, what isn't, and who she can trust . . . if anybody. 
 
Award-winning author Nick Lake proves his skills as a master storyteller in this heart-pounding new novel. This emotionally charged thrill ride leads to a shocking ending that will have readers flipping back to the beginning.

These poignant fairy tales will leave an imprint on your heart with their universal themes of friendship, family, loyalty, and loss.  In this collection, Tang Tang explores what happens when a young boy makes a promise to a childhood friend; when generations of imps misunderstand a nursery rhyme; when a grandmother sneaks out of heaven to visit her granddaughter; and when a girl grows up and loses interest in a beloved pet.

    One day Izzy and her friends are surprised to find that their teacher, Miss Jones, is actually being nice to them. This is the woman who was caught secretly smiling when Maisie Miller fell off her chair. There can only be one conclusion: she's been taken over by aliens, and now she wants to make them all aliens too!
From the book: One time I found a crisp shaped EXACTLY like Mrs Cunningham who lives upstairs and when I showed Mum she just said, 'No thanks, you eat it.' I obviously did NOT eat it, I put it in an envelope and carefully posted it through Mrs Cunningham's letter box. Because that's what I would want someone to do if they found a crisp shaped exactly like me (also called a crisp twin).
'Enjoyable for its childlike sense of adventure, humour and imagination.' - The Sunday Times

With quirky characters, laugh-out-loud humour and a reassuringly familiar primary school setting, it will particularly appeal to young readers with lively imaginations.' - BookTrust
