  Dragon Riders is an amazing adventure about three children caught up in a timeless war. Their lives are turned upside down by an attack on the monastery where they live. Their flight leads them into an encounter with a young dragon, which they save from certain death. Previously believing that dragons were solely part of mythology, they are rewarded with a flight on three full-grown dragons. The dragons leave them each with a bracelet, which shrink to fit and hence are unable to be removed. The war causes their paths to divide, and they encounter magic, the enemy, a variety of characters and eventual capture. Reunited through incarceration, they discover the secret of their dragon bracelets, calling on the dragons to rescue them. With the reappearance of the dragons, their involvement in the war increases as they seek to bring an end to the fighting.  
    
  The characters in this story are delightful, and are brought to life with the things they say and the actions they take, rather than simply through description. The story is written in a lovely, simple style that children will find easy to follow. Similarly, the plot is quick and captivating and the dragons especially are awe-inspiring. Their descriptions are bound to keep young children on the edge of their seats.

  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).

  In the heart of Sylhet, a city known for its picturesque tea gardens and vibrant culture, a voice rose above the din of daily life—a voice that would come to champion the cause of inclusivity and sustainability.

His words and images captured the essence of his city's spirit and started conversations that had long been overdue.
