Synopsis

"The Boys' And Girls' Library" is a richly curated anthology that spans diverse genres and themes, tailored specifically for young readers. This compilation boasts an array of stories designed to inspire imagination, foster moral development, and ignite a passion for literature. Through whimsical prose and engaging narratives, the book reflects the Victorian literary context, featuring contributions from renowned authors of the time, while also incorporating illustrations that create a captivating reading experience for children and adolescents. The collection is a testament to the editorial vision of its various contributors who aimed to instill a love of literature in the younger generation. Grounded in the educational philosophies of the 19th century, especially the belief in the moral and intellectual elevation that literature provides, these authors recognized the powerful role that storytelling plays in shaping young minds. They finely balanced entertainment with educational value, often drawing from personal experiences and cultural backgrounds that resonate with universal themes of adventure, friendship, and growth. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Boys' And Girls' Library" to readers of all ages. It serves not only as an excellent resource for young readers seeking adventure and insight into human experiences but also as a nostalgic trip for adults who wish to share the joys of classic literature with the next generation.

    Twelve-year-old Perigee has never met a problem they couldn’t solve. So when their dad’s spirits need raising, Perigee formulates The Plan: a road trip to Dad’s childhood home to reunite him with his estranged mother. There’s something in it for Perigee, too, as they will finally get to visit “Eklunds’ Puzzle House,” the mysterious bed-and-breakfast their grandparents built but never opened. 
     
    They arrive ahead of a massive storm, and the House immediately puts Perigee’s logical, science-loving mind to the test. Corridors shift. Strange paintings lurk in the shadows. Encoded messages abound. Despite Perigee’s best efforts, neither the House nor Grandma will give up their secrets. And worse, prickly Grandma has outlawed games and riddles of any kind. 
     
    Even the greatest of plans can crumble, and as new arguments fill the air, the House becomes truly dangerous. Deadly puzzles pop up at every turn, knives spin in the hallways, and staircases disappear. The answer lies at the heart of the House, but in order to find it, Perigee and their new friend Lily will need to solve a long-lost, decades-old riddle … if the House itself doesn’t stop them first. 
     
    “A deliciously fun adventure full of dangerous magic, secrets, and puzzles. I loved every moment of it!”—STEPHANIE BURGIS, author of The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart and The Raven Heir

    Astrochimp, from Children's author David Walliams. 
    Chump the chimpanzee was always being silly. He would: 
    - make rude noises from BOTH ENDS… 
    - pick his nose with his little toe… 
    - eat the skins of bananas, hurling out the tasty part inside. 
    NASA’s scientists thought he’d be the PERFECT chimp to send into space. Little did Chump know that he had been selected for a deadly-dangerous mission. If a chimp could orbit Earth, then chances were a human could too. 
    With Chump the chimp at the controls of a spacecraft, what could possibly go wrong? As it turned out, EVERYTHING. 
    Blast off with Chump, and encounter dog space pirates, evil insects, and the silliest chimpanzee who ever lived in this wildly funny space opera, fully illustrated in fantastic colour. 
    David Walliams ASTROCHIMP is a Sunday Times bestseller that takes readers on a humorous and action-packed journey. This graphic novel is perfect for kids and aged readers who enjoy stories about pets, astronauts, and technology. 
    For fans of Shane Devries (The Creakers), Jeff Kinney (The Deep End), Peter Brown (The Wild Robot), Liz Pichon (Top of the Class), and Larry Hayes (How to be a Kid Boss).

    This fifteenth Spid the Spider adventure will inspire children, especially budding bakers and entrepreneurs everywhere.  In the story, Bid dreams of setting up her own artisan bakery though she faces numerous set-backs in turning her dream into reality. With grit, determination, and Spid’s help, she learns from the setbacks and finds a way to succeed.  It’s a fun-filled story that also educates by encouraging a ‘growth mindset’. Baking is increasingly seen as a fun, creative activity that families and children can do together. This sense of involvement and creativity aligns perfectly in this latest Spid the Spider adventure. The story also aligns with the global phenomena and cultural touchstones of The Great British Bake Off (GBBO) and The Apprentice.  
    This audiobook features two songs: ‘Dreams’ and ‘Honey Bee Cakes’. These further immerse children in the story.  ‘Dreams’ is a motivational song with a ‘growth-mindset’ message; “Don’t get down, you can turn it around, your plans are sound, and you can rebound”. ‘Honeybee Cakes’ has a sunny-feel-good-calypso-Caribbean vibe, with fabulous rising harmonies. “Honey bee, honey bee, honey bee cakes” 
    Spid is a role model for children. He’s a hard-working, cool, and funny spider, who makes mistakes, but learns from them. He helps children embrace what psychologists call a ‘growth mindset’ - a determination to better oneself and succeed. All books are supported by free parent and teacher resources to entertain and inspire children, helping them learn. These include a honeybee cake recipe and instructions to make a bee hotel.
