    In Gujarat, an underground song pulls the Santos da Costa family into the breathtaking geometry of a centuries-old stepwell. Gabe is investigating water engineering and the legend of a singer whose voice still travels beneath the stone. Jivika, clever, stubborn, and every bit as competitive as Tala, refuses to let visitors confuse beauty with understanding. When echoes begin aligning with carved patterns, the triplets discover that the stepwell may hold a kind of record never written on paper. To follow it, they must combine mathematics, music, and trust - and decide whether a message sealed beneath stone belongs to the person who finds it or the people who kept it safe.

    On the rocky hill the young jerboas watched as the one they called the king hung on the cross, dying. Suddenly, the earth began to tremble, then rumble, then quake. Rocks split and tombs broke open. The dove said, "They will take Jesus's body and lay him in a tomb. The serpents think they've won a victory, but on the third day Jesus will rise, just as he said. The serpents don't realize that darkness has already been defeated and soon Jesus will appear—alive!"
    The Death and the Victory by bestselling author Marty Machowski follows the adventures of the animals who could have witnessed the events of the New Testament from Jesus's death through Revelation. Join jerboas at the cross, horses at Christ's empty tomb, leopards watching Jesus ascend to heaven, turtledoves at Pentecost, squirrels who follow Saul to Damascus, and many animals on the island of Patmos with John.
    The Death and the Victory is the fourth of four books in the Redemption Tales series for ages 8–12, retelling Bible narratives from the perspective of the animals who could have witnessed the events firsthand. Each story includes Bible study questions to acquaint kids with the "truth behind the tales" and offers a new point of view of God's overarching story of redemption found throughout his Word.

    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.
