  Master storyteller Tom Palmer returns with a deeply moving and beautifully told novel of friendship and belonging, inspired by the incredible true story of the Windermere Boys. 
  "The best children’s fiction book I’ve yet read about the Holocaust" – Tim Robertson, CEO Anne Frank Trust 
  Summer 1945. The Second World War is finally over and Yossi, Leo and Mordecai are among three hundred children who arrive in the English Lake District. Having survived the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps, they've finally reached a place of safety and peace, where they can hopefully begin to recover. 
  But Yossi is haunted by thoughts of his missing father and disturbed by terrible nightmares. As he waits desperately for news from home, he fears that Mordecai and Leo – the closest thing to family he has left – will move on without him. Will life by the beautiful Lake Windermere be enough to bring hope back into all their lives? 
  In this award-winning historical young adult novel, Palmer masterfully explores themes of grief, bereavement, and friendship. The children's struggle to adapt to their new lives in Europe, while dealing with the death of loved ones, is a poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit. 
  For fans of T.Z. Layton (The Academy IV), Dan Freedman (Jamie Johnson), Jeff Kinney (No Brainer), Martin Smith (The Football Superstar), and Marta Kissi (The Friend Dilemma).

  The Longers' family have spent weeks with Teensie. They take him out into the community and listen to what he wants to say. The airplane is different. There, he's seen as "just a pet," and restricted from viewing the plane's take-off and landing. This doesn't sit well with Teensie. 
  A message from Teensie: 
  Being in a tank has its advantages. Primarily, people forget that I’m there. I mean, let’s be realistic for a moment, even when they do remember I’m around, they don’t see me as a threat. 
  I’m just a harmless goldfish. 
  But that’s not my full story. See, I’m more than just a goldfish. I can talk - and the people I talk to can understand me. 
  I live with an amazing family, Melinda and her father, who are doing everything they can do to keep me safe and give me the life I dream about. 
  Melinda has her books, and I have mine. This is my side of the story. In Tales From the Tank you’ll hear about what actually goes on in the Longers' home, and out in the community! 
  Come with me, and let me take you underwater to experience the adventure my way! 
  From Porsche Ray: 
  This short story is Season 1: Episode 4 of Tales From the Tank - short stories that take place within the full-size novels. Season 1 matches up with Book 1 of the MELINDA series, “Melinda and Her Father Go Scuba Diving".

  A Chessboard Shrouded in Mystery. A Pawn's Forbidden Dream. A Battle for Identity and Power. 
  In the dead of night, under the silver gaze of the moon, the white chess pieces gather around their queen. Tension hangs heavy as the White Queen's voice slices through the silence: “There is a traitor among us.” Accusations fly, fear spreads, and the battlefield shivers under the weight of her words. 
  In a world where hierarchy rules and destiny is preordained, Lisa, a humble pawn, dares to dream the impossible—to reach the legendary Eighth Row and become a queen. But the White Queen's warning echoes ominously: 
  "You can only be what you were made to be. A pawn can never be a queen." 
  Or can she? 
  When Lisa confesses her forbidden ambition, she expects exile, but what she finds is an ally in the unlikeliest of places—Knight Henry, whose defiance of tradition ignites a spark of hope. With his help, and the loyalty of her best friend, Knight Tomas, Lisa embarks on a treacherous journey across enemy lines. 
  But in the shadows of the chessboard, loyalties are tested, truths are twisted, and a darkness looms—one that threatens to consume not just Lisa’s dream, but her very heart. 
  Will Lisa defy fate and claim the crown she so desperately desires? 
  Or will she fall prey to the darkness that comes with breaking the rules? 
  In a world where order is absolute and power is merciless, one pawn's courage could change everything... or destroy it. 
  Step into a world of intrigue, power, and the price of ambition. 
  "The Eighth Row" is a spellbinding allegory of identity, ambition, and the cost of breaking free. Perfect for fans of dark fairy tales and thought-provoking fables.
