AUDIO coming soon!

A really weird thing happens to 11 year old Megan Crewe when she bumps into Jack the old carthorse. 

She’s too busy to worry about it until she realises what a terrible secret she’s uncovered. 

Jack is in danger but no one will believe it except her best friend Amy. Their ideas come thick and fast, but nothing works, and as the menace creeps closer, events snowball. 

There’s a horse in Amy’s mum’s prize greenhouse, a lot of tomato ketchup in places it shouldn’t be, a ton of heavenly chocolate, and the dreadful taste of artificial flowers. 

In all the chaos, can they save Jack? Or has the danger that stalked the old horse turned its eye on them instead?

Alan Wakeman's delicate new English translation of this wonderful children's classic by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was Aardvark. So begins Mark P Henderson’s introduction to his beautifully crafted and wholly unlikely collection of animal sonnets that form just one part of Cruel and Unusual Punnishments. Add to these his fables without morals, his tales to tell and the skilful illustrations of illustrator David Moss, and you have a wonderful collection of entertaining short pieces of poetry and prose to make you laugh out loud, cry hysterically and throw yourself to the ground in utter disbelief. 

A children’s short story anthology of 14 Fantastic stories that will fire your children’s imaginations and open their eyes to worlds of dragons, mermaids, self exploration, moral guidance and good old fashioned fun.

Check out the amazing cover by Paula Murphy and professional contributions from Heather Maisner and Boris Glikman. Internal illustrations by Jolanta Dziok.

Contributions from Boris Glikman, Heather Maisner, Sara Barnard, Katy Huth Jones, Stirling Davenport, Patricia Crumpler, Nuzhat Anwar, Susan Kite, Peter Ford, John D Slater.

10% of the proceeds of this books will be donated to the WWO (WorldWide Orphans foundation).

Enjoy these sometimes fishy but always entertaining tales!

Kate Russell’s magnificent young adult adventure, The Bookkeepers Guide To Practical Sorcery, will make you laugh out loud and quail with fear. And it delivers such a matter-of-fact account of magical mechanics you'll be amazed you weren't taught it in school.
