  $1000 A Plate

  $1,000 A Plate by Jack McKenty - When Marsy Gras shot off its skyrockets, Mars Observatory gave it the works—fireworks! 
  Sunset on Mars is a pale, washed out, watery sort of procedure that is hardly worth looking at. The shadows of the cactus lengthen, the sun goes down without the slightest hint of color or display and everything is dark. About once a year there is one cloud that turns pink briefly. But even the travel books devote more space describing the new sign adorning the Canal Casino than they do on the sunset. 
  The night sky is something else again. Each new crop of tourists goes to bed at sunrise the day after arrival with stiff necks from looking up all night. The craters of the moons are visible to the naked eye, and even a cheap pair of opera glasses can pick out the buildings of the Deimos Space Station. 
  A typical comment from a sightseer is, "Just think, Fred, we were way up there only twelve hours ago." 
  At fairly frequent intervals, the moons eclipse. The local Chamber of Commerce joins with the gambling casinos to use these occasions as excuses for a celebration. The "Marsy Gras" includes floats, costumes, liquor, women, gambling—and finishes off with a display of fireworks and a stiff note of protest from the nearby Mars Observatory.

  Megan Goes On Holiday - A Spirit...

  Megan is a 13-year-old teenage girl, who realises that she has psychic powers that others do not have. At first, she tried to talk to her mother about them, but with disastrous consequences, so she learned to keep quiet about them. 
  However, some people do offer to help and an animal showed a special friendship, but they were not `alive` in the normal sense of the word. They had passed on. 
  Megan has three such friends: Wacinhinsha, her Spirit Guide, who had been Sioux in his last life on Earth; her maternal grandfather, Gramps and a huge Siberian tiger called Grrr. 
  Wacinhinsha is extremely knowledgeable in all things spiritual, psychic and paranormal; her grandfather is a novice `dead person` and Grrr can only speak Tiger, as one might imagine and most of that, of course is unintelligible to humans. 
  In `Megan Goes on Holiday`, the family goes on holiday abroad, taking Megan for the first time. She becomes besotted with the place. On her return home, she makes a bit of a fool of herself by pretending to be what she is not and showing off. However, her mother and a few others bring her back to reality, and Wacinhinsha gives her an explanation for her recent infatuation with her holiday destination.

  The HILARIOUS new novel and the year’s most perfect festive gift – from million-copy bestselling author David Baddiel 
  It used to be the most WONDERFUL time of the year, but for years Christmas has been taken over by Winterzone. 
  All the things that made Christmas special are gone: the human connection, the baubles passed down through generations, even the rubbish cracker jokes. 
  Instead, Christmas is run by robots, while 3D holograms of Santa Claus called Santavatars check if you’ve been naughty or nice – and on Christmas Eve, all of the presents are delivered by ZoneDrones instead of Santa’s reindeer! 
  But when they stumble on a curious clue, eleven-year-old Etta and her friend Monty find themselves thrown into a fight to bring back Christmas. Racing against time and against the might of Winterzone, they must find the real Santa – before the true meaning of the festive season is lost forever . . . 
  In this humorous adventure, Etta and Monty's action-packed quest to restore the true spirit of the holidays will captivate children and adults alike. As a top bestseller from the Sunday Times bestselling author, Virtually Christmas is a heartwarming family story that redefines the meaning of Christmas. 
  For fans of Jeff Kinney (No Brainer), Larry Hayes (How to be a Kid Boss), Ben Miller (Diary of a Puss in Boots), Danny Wallace (The Day the Screens Went Blank), and Marta Kissi (The Friend Dilemma).
