The adults of Blarney have always lived in fear. The faeries of Tír na nÓg exist on their doorstep, and they could unleash terror on the mortal realm at any time.
But eleven-year-old Maddy is not afraid. The unicorn that holds the key to balance and peace in both worlds is injured, and Maddy knows she is the only one who can track down whoever hurt her.

As the mighty alien fleet from the very latest computer game thunders across the computer screen, Johnny prepares to blow them into the usual million pieces. And they send him a message. We surrender. They're not supposed to do that! They're supposed to die. And computer joysticks don't have 'Don't Fire' buttons... It's hard enough, trying to save Mankind from the Galactic Hordes. It's even harder trying to save the Galactic Hordes from Mankind. But it's only a game, isn't it. Isn't it? A hugely entertaining and thought-provoking new adventure from the master of comic fantasy, Terry Pratchett, author of the bestselling Truckers trilogy.
At the heart of The Boy Who Tricked Trolls is Alex, a teenage boy coping with his mother’s disability and his stressed, workaholic father. After school each day, he meets his father at his workplace – a storage facility warehouse. It is here that Alex’s adventures begin...
Alex is invited by an elderly gentleman, Phineas, to visit the fantasy world of Serendipity. Access to this world, in a different dimension, is through a Grandfather Clock stored in the warehouse. When Phineas introduces him to the islanders living on Serendipity, Alex becomes involved with the fascinating characters and their lives in this other world. He volunteers to help rescue a young child, Amy, who has fallen down a hole into tunnels beneath the island. The trolls, living in the caves, capture Alex and Indi, Amy’s brother. But they are quickly outwitted by Alex, and Amy is rescued.
The Boy Who Tricked Trolls is the fourth in Lorraine Hellier’s Serendipity series but can be read as a standalone novel. It has been inspired by living on Guernsey, where Lorraine visited clock makers, and is reminiscent of C. S. Lewis’ The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. This tale of fantasy fiction will appeal to children aged 7-11 years old.

Meghan Chase has a secret destiny – one she could never have imagined…
Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school… or at home. When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar, and her prankster best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she's known is about to change. But she could never have guessed the truth – that she is the daughter of a mythical faery king and is a pawn in a deadly war.
Now Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she cares about, to stop a mysterious evil no faery creature dare face… and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart.

RICK RIORDAN meets DAN BROWN in this epic historical adventure series packed full of puzzles, clues and edge-of-your-seat excitement!
Legend has it that Copernicus found twelve powerful relics that could harness the cosmos and transport people through time when assembled in the shape of an astrolabe. Recognising the astrolabe’s terrible power, Copernicus hid the relics in far-flung corners of the globe and assigned loyal Guardians to pass down the duty of protecting the relics across the ages.
In the wrong hands, the astrolabe could control the world. That’s exactly what Galina Krauss and her powerful Teutonic Order plan to do once she collects all the pieces and reassembles them. She’s already infiltrated the Guardians and broken down their defences. Humankind won’t know what’s happened until it’s too late.
What Galina doesn’t know is that a letter, the Guardians’ last cry for help, has fallen into the hands of four young friends – Wade, Lily, Darrel and Becca. Four young friends who are about to find themselves caught up in a centuries-old battle to save fate itself…
