A Victorian woman defies convention and follows her heart to freedom in this conclusion to the Barforth Trilogy from the author of Flint and Roses. Grace Agbrigg has ambitions beyond merely ornamenting the home of a rich husband. But Victorian England is still almost wholly a man’s world in which women—rich or poor—must do the bidding of the father, husband or employer. Attracted against her will to the ambitious and ruthless Gideon Chard, Grace instead makes the marriage that is expected of her. But eventually she breaks free of a relationship that is a sham to become the only divorcee in Cullingford. Cast out by society, Grace is faced with a future she never expected—one in which she holds the keys to her own happiness. Set against a background of change and unrest, of dazzling wealth cheek by jowl with bitter poverty, this conclusion to the Barforth Trilogy is perfect for fans of Sandy Taylor, Katie Flynn and Josephine Cox.

An enchanting take on the legend of King Arthur from War Horse author and former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo. ‘There stood before me an ancient man swathed in a dark and tattered fleece, his long hair and beard matted with filth, his face grey with grief and age. Holding the sword out in front of me, I backed away until I felt the sink behind me and I could go no further. His eyes followed me all the way.' When Bun Bendle is struck blind, he feels like he is drowning in blackness. But the discovery of an ancient tomb and a strangely familiar sword changes him forever. The Sleeping Sword weaves a contemporary tale with Arthurian legend in a way that is utterly spellbinding. A gripping children's adventure from the master storyteller of An Eagle in the Snow, Listen to the Moon, Shadow, Arthur, High King of Britain and An Elephant in the Garden. ------ Former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo needs no introduction. He is one of the most successful children's authors in the country, loved by children, teachers and parents alike. Michael has written more than forty books for children including the global hit War Horse, which was made into a Hollywood film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. Several of his other stories have been adapted for screen and stage, including My Friend Walter, Why the Whales Came and Kensuke's Kingdom. Michael has won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award, the Children's Book Award and has been short-listed for the Carnegie Medal four times. He started the charity Farms for City Children in 1976 with his wife, Clare, aimed at relieving the “poverty of experience” many young children feel in inner city and urban areas. Michael is also a patron of over a dozen other charities. Living in Devon, listening to Mozart and working with children have provided Michael with the ideas and incentive to write his stories. He spends half his life mucking out sheds with the children, feeding sheep or milking cows; the other half he spends dreaming up and writing stories for children. "For me, the greater part of writing is daydreaming, dreaming the dream of my story until it hatches out - the writing down of it I always find hard. But I love finishing it, then holding the book in my hand and sharing my dream with my readers." Michael received an OBE in December 2006 for his services to literature.

Brilliantly funny adventure, featuring magic, dragons and knights. For Fans of Shrek. Odo (seventh child of the village miller) and Eleanor (always looking for adventure) stumble upon a sword in a dried-up river outside their village. Eleanor (strong and able) tries to extract the sword but is unable to, and it is Odo who is surprisingly successful. It is even more surprising that the sword,once pulled out, starts to talk. And rather annoying when the talking sword turns out to be rather grumpy, stubborn, and, at times, catastrophically wrong. Odo and Eleanor have unearthed Biter, a famous knightly sword from earlier times. By finding Biter, Odo instantly becomes a knight -- a role he is exquisitely unsuited for. Eleanor, however, is desperate to become and would be the perfect knight -- but she's not the one with the sword. Finding Biter is only the start - reluctant knight, reluctant squire, and determined sword must go on a quest to save their kingdom from threats in both human and dragon form, in this new very funny fantasy triumph from Garth Nix and Sean Williams.

The savage combatants in Abby Kincaid's computer Game have gained a life of their own and have gone on a killing rampage through the streets of Manhattan, and she is the only one that can cancel out their program. But due to Abby's design, the escaped electromagnetic character now knows as much about computers as she does, eliminating the possibility of simply ending the program. Only the game's hero, Jack McGee, based on an actual ex-SEAL and jungle fighter, can kill Thundercloud, the Quechua savage bent on kidnapping Abby and making her his woman, thinking she is the Game's female antagonist. Knowing only Jack can kill Thundercloud, Abby embarks on a series of Virtual Realities meant to fool Jack into thinking he is helping her find a lost city in the Amazon jungle. But the real Jack refuses to take her into the jungle until she passes some SEAL training exercises, designed with the intent of keeping her from going. However, Abby has more pluck than Jack imagined and finds himself liking her spunk and determination until he finally agrees to take her to that lost city even though he seriously doubt it exists. On the way, Jack finds himself in a reality not his own, fighting a Thundercloud unlike the one he knows, with images appearing and disappearing which effect the outcome in a way Jack could never have imagined. The intrigue creates on-going excitement, with ex-SEALs, stolen Peruvian helicopters, GPS and Landsat imagery, free-fall parachuting, and a very questionable map to a city lost in the overgrowth of the Amazon jungle. All the time neither Jack nor Abby understand which Reality they fight and love in, or the terrible results of extended immersion in these Realities. Based on true events from Percy Fawcett's searches for a lost city of gold in the Amazon jungle, and Hugh McCarthy's recorded travel from which he never returned. This is a sweeping adventure pitting a modern-day warrior against the most unusual weapons he has ever encountered, and a tribe of Peruvian savages that never die, and a love that spans two continents and several unusual realities.
