Somehow the boat was still afloat - another wave had lifted it clear of the first rock and was driving it further inshore. It bumped against the base of Crab Rock and skewed around, then tipped momentarily to starboard...and as it did so, she saw a figure crouching in the bottom.  Hetty's always been a bit of a loner, preferring to keep to the outer edges of the close-knit island community. But when a strange woman is washed up on the shore, Hetty finds herself under increasing scrutiny from the islanders. There's a connection between Hetty and the woman that makes people suspicious, so when death comes to the community the woman is branded a bad omen and Hetty has no choice but to take matters into her own hands.  As she heads out to sea, a storm is breaking and the whispers that she's heard before are louder than ever. Voices from the very depths of the sea ...and they're calling her name.

Blade 3: Breaking Free

Product Description I've come back for Jaz. She's all I want. I don't give two bells what happens to me long as she gets away safe. But I'll tell you something, Bigeyes. If she's dead, there's something else I'll have. My revenge. From the Carnegie Medal-winning author of River Boy, Starseeker and Bloodchild comes the fifth title in this startlingly compelling series. Contemporary, pacy, and utterly gripping, Blade takes you on a roller-coaster ride through the secret, dangerous life of its unforgettable narrator. This thrilling series for teenagers combines an enormously likable and engaging central character with the harsh realities of street life and the youth gang culture that is so prevalent in today's news. The mysteries and cliffhanger endings of these short, accessible books will have the power to tempt all readers as they gradually become absorbed into Blade's dangerous world.

Blade 5: Fighting Back

'This is where we find out - who's the hunter, who's the prey?'\n'I got my enemy. Got him fixed in my head. He was there before, course he was, but now I've seen him again, he's clearer than ever. And I know this for certain. I can't run any more. You know why? Cos he'll never rest till he's found me. Till I'm dust trickling through his hands. So I got one choice left. Bring him down. That's right, Bigeyes. I got to mix it.'\nBlade is under more pressure than ever. Jaz is still missing and the spectre of Becky is haunting him once again. Danger stalks him wherever he goes and, to make matters worse, his greatest enemy from the past is now back in his life.\nBut all is not lost. Blade has his courage, his will, his sharp intelligence – and he has a hostage, someone who will give him real bargaining power. Blade is not finished yet, not by a long way. His blood is up and he's ready to mix it.

Blade 2: Flight

Revenge isn't sweet. It's just necessary.  Blade has done all he can - shaken up the city, turned the gangster bosses against Hawk, his most dangerous enemy, and given the police the information they need to destroy the man for ever. But it's not enough. Hawk is still free, still powerful, and more angry than ever. He has men swarming over the city in search of the boy who has betrayed him. For Blade it's now or never. Time to stand and fight. The question is - does he have the will to defeat the man who has always won?  Previously published in two parts as Blade: Cutting Loose and Blade: Risking All, this is a stunning new package for this groundbreaking series. Narrated by Blade himself, be prepared to enter his world. It's not pretty ...it's urban, real, and dangerous.  Complete the series with Blade 1: Enemies, Blade 2: Flight, and Blade 3: Firestorm.
