Richard L. Hamilton

Mungo adores his big sister Clementine and his big sister is very clever. She knows everything and Mungo relies on her for answers to all his questions. How do cats stay cool in the summer? What is in the centre of the earth? How do leaves change their colours? Clementine has some very interesting answers for her little brother - each with a germ of truth. For example, cats take off their coats, and 'pigments' paint the leaves a new colour. But one night it is the big sister that has a question for the little brother, and it is the honesty and sweetness of Mungo's answer that has the real truth.

When Abren becomes conscious of her surroundings, she is struggling to get out of the flooded river Severn with her only possession, a beautifully embroidered cloth, clutched in her arms. What is she doing in the water, who is she, where can she go? And so begins the unfolding of a story, that snakes and turns like the river itself, surprising the reader on every level. A wonderful magical fantasy of a story that follows the journey of a girl's life over many centuries and across huge terrain. Pauline Fisk is a marvellous storyteller whose canvas is huge and whose delving into mythology makes for astounding reading. Praise for Sabrina Fludde: 'Ancient and modern worlds are cleverly entwined in a multi-layered novel packed with big writing and even bigger ideas' Guardian 'A magical, dreamy fantasy that takes hold if you and, like the river, carries you along in its powerful current' Financial Times (Pick of the Month)

Woods, TItania

An innocent summer holiday turns out to be anything but for Athene and her younger brother, Zach, when they find themselves caught up in a skirmish between two groups of gnome-like creatures: The Humble Gloam live above ground and get along with humans; the Low Gloam live below ground and despise everyone. But when Zach stumbles into Low Gloam territory, Athene disguises herself to rescue him--and discovers a secret that could bring the two Gloam tribes together--if it doesn't tear them apart first.
