Gloria and Rayzer must save their Uncle Ben. The black dog has got him.
At least, that's what they heard their granny say. And she says it's taken Dublin's funny bone too.
As Uncle Ben’s Dublin business fails, it's clear to Gloria and Rayzer that something is wrong. He just isn’t his usual cheerful self. Gathering all their courage the children set out on a midnight quest to hunt down the Black Dog and chase it away.
Gloria and Rayzer are really brave, but the black dog is really scary – and soon they realize that they can't fight it alone. Before long loads of other children are searching for it too, because the Black Dog is hounding lots of Dublin's adults. Together – and with the help of magical animals, birds and rodents – the children manage to corner the Black Dog . . . but will they have the courage and cleverness to destroy the frightening creature?
Edinburgh is a city filled with magical creatures. No one can see them... until Ramya Knox.
As she is pulled into her family's world of secrets and spells, Ramya sets out to discover the truth behind the Hidden Folk with only three words of warning from her grandfather: Beware the Sirens.
Plunged into an adventure that will change everything, Ramya is about to learn that there is more to her powers than she ever imagined.

From real-life radio stars Roman Kemp and Vick Hope, comes
this brilliantly funny book for children.
At their school, Arthur and Grace reign supreme:
after all, they're the cool kids.
They're also the radio kids, and between
them they run the schools top two radio shows. Which
means that as well as being the most popular kids,
Grace and Arthur are also the biggest rivals.
So when a storm hits their school during a surprisingly
popular chess tournament, and a blackout
ensues, they can't wait to be the first to report on the storm.
But things get complicated the very next day
when their teacher tells them that the real scoop
isn't the storm; it's the missing trophy.
Suddenly Arthur and Grace are in well over their heads.
But with the whole school relying on them, there's no
backing out now.
If anyone can figure out this mess, it's Arthur
and Grace. After all, if you rule the
airwaves, you rule the school...
Will appeal to both boys and girls

Super rich. Super shy. Super lonely.
Lucas is all alone.
Since his mum died, Lucas and his dad don't seem to understand each other at all - it's almost as if they're speaking different languages. With a long, hot summer facing him, Lucas is dreading the drama club that his dad has signed him up for - he doesn't know how to be around new people and he can't stand performing. But the people Lucas meets at the club force him to open up and start talking, and when disaster strikes, Lucas is forced to step in and help. Can his new-found friends teach Lucas how to be himself?
