Casper Candlewacks is the only boy with any sense in a village full of idiots… the fourth and final instalment in the hilarious Casper Candlewacks series.
Praise for Casper Candlewacks in Death by Pigeon:
“a funny and engaging debut” JEREMY STRONG
Most villages have an idiot but Casper's village is full of them. So being bright makes Casper something of an outsider.
Luckily Casper has Lamp to him company – his less-than-bright best mate who is also a strangely ingenious inventor.

The final tale in the hilarious Casper Candlewacks series. You’d have to be an idiot to miss it!
Erin and Grace are very different people. Erin has a monobrow and a slight problem with negativity; Grace is very #blessed and obsessed with her #girlsquad. One thing they have in common is a love of Charlotte Brontë and writing stories.

A delightful melange of quirky poems by one of this country's most popular poets. my doggie don't wear glasses; so they're lying when they say; a dog looks like its owner; aren't they; John Hegley's doggie may not wear glasses, but then she is a carrot. Enter this celebrated poet's weird, witty and bespectacled world and meet Grandma with her filthy glasses, the organic leek who has learned how to speak, the octopus who gets a nasty shocktopus, the man who drew his cornflakes and a whole cast of other interesting characters. Surprising, serious, and sometimes just plain surprising, this is a collection of poems even your dog might like. Unless, of course, your dog is a carrot too.
Crossing the road safely is like anything else – you can learn how to do it. That’s what Miss Talentino tells Simon and the rest of his class, and she even gives them a demonstration. But there is one big difference: if you get a question wrong in class, you won’t end up as flat as a pizza!

Acquiring bosom friends and instant enemies as she goes, it’s not long before Ivy finds herself at the heart of a conspiracy involving mischief, mayhem and murder.
