Thrilling mystery from the Carnegie Medal winning author. On a stormy winter’s night an old man sits over his wine cup and tells a tale: of the Lord Aleslan and his evil deeds; of the good wife who could not influence him for the better and died, leaving a son; and of her brother, who stole the child to save it from Aleslan’s evil. And now the son returns…

Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers of 12+.

Jono didn’t mean to buy an alligator. It just sort of happened. And now his mum’s going to kill him…if the alligator doesn’t get there first! A hilarious comedy. When Jono’s friend Crusher offers him a rather hungry alligator out of the boot of his car he thinks someone would have to be crazy to buy it. But somehow Jono finds himself as the proud new owner! Now the only question is, how is he going to hide it from his mother? A laugh-out-loud comedy! Particularly suitable for reluctant, struggling and dyslexic readers of 10+, reading age 7.

The smoke was getting thicker and the smell of burning stronger. Shaun put his shoulder against the door and pushed hard. He couldn’t budge it a millimetre. The door was stuck. He was trapped in the lab and it was on fire!

Someone is trying to sabotage the work of the Genetic Clone Unit, where tests are being done to revolutionise spare part surgery. But who would want to do this and why?
