Island of Whispers
Frances Hardinge
and Emily Gravett

SET sail towards destiny with a thrilling gothic fairytale about mortality, grief, kindness and fate as two outstanding award-winners combine their talents in spectacular form. Island of Whispers – a riveting coming-of-age story which sweeps readers away on an unforgettable journey – comes from the creative pairing of Costa Book Award-winning Frances Hardinge, author of The Lie Tree and Unraveller, and illustrator extraordinaire  Emily Gravett who has twice won the Kate Greenaway Medal. Richly atmospheric, tingling with suspense, and lavishly illustrated throughout with a luscious blue ink, this haunting adventure conjures up ghosts, magic and the dead in a brand new fairytale which has all the hallmarks of a classic.

On the misty island of Merlank, the souls of the Dead are apt to cause untold harm and must not be allowed to linger but instead carried safely away across the dark sea to the Island of the Broken Tower. The very sight of their ghosts can kill you. When young Milo is unexpectedly thrust into the role of Ferryman following his father’s sudden death, he is the one who must carry away the Dead even though his father had said it was a role that Milo could never take. And on his first perilous journey, Milo is pursued by two malignant magicians and the vengeful Lord of Merlank, who is unprepared to give up the soul of his dead teenage daughter. Milo must navigate strange and dangerous seas where untold threats whisper in the mist. Does he have the courage and imagination to complete his urgent mission? With wicked magicians, an exhilarating sea chase, swarms of deathly moths, strange headless birds and chillingly shrouded figures of death, this is a fabulously produced gift book full of Hardinge’s exquisite prose, ingenious world-building and important messages about being true to yourself. Add on Gravett’s stunning and atmospheric illustrations in a symphony of blue, and a hardback cover that glitters all over with shining silver moths, and young readers will be in thrall to this unforgettable and ultimately heartwarming adventure.

Ancient Love Stories
Emily Hauser and Sander Berg

UNLOCK the passion of the ancient world with eleven extraordinary stories of jealousy, love and hope. Bask in romance and drama with this striking collection of love stories from ancient history as told by award-winning classicist Emily Hauser and beautifully illustrated by Swedish artist Sander Berg. We don’t have to look to works of fiction to find tales of true love. The pages of history are crammed with stories about love that are, quite literally, true and many of them are among the greatest love stories ever told. Ancient Love Stories brings together some of the most remarkable romances in history... from tales of fearless queens and besotted emperors to men who died fighting for the men they loved. Meet the famous Mark Antony and Cleopatra, Amytis and Nebuchadnezzar, Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, Hadrian and Antonius, and Eloise and Abelard. These accounts of passion, jealousy, hope and longing show that perhaps little has changed over the last three thousand years... and that love, above all, has endured.

The Beast and the Bethany:
Child of the Beast
Jack Meggitt-Phillips and Isabelle Follath

IF your fancy is thrilling adventure tales that put guffaws into the gruesome, and magic into the malevolent, then this modern classic series is a must for all fun-loving youngsters. A major film deal has already been announced with Warner Brothers and Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts producer, David Heyman, for The Beast and the Bethany books which are the work of exciting new writing talent Jack Meggitt-Phillips and Zurich-based illustrator Isabelle Follath. With his sharp eye for macabre humour and storylines brimming with originality and zany action, Meggitt-Phillips brings us hilarious romps starring the 512-years-old Ebenezer, a beastly beast with a hunger for children, and a little orphan girl who can (fortunately for us all!) outwit her enemies. In the fantastic fourth adventure, there are surprises in store for Bethany about her missing family. For centuries, the beast has tormented the world but now, there’s a change to a menu, and the beast is going cold turkey – which essentially means eating no priceless works of art, purple parrots, or child-sized pranksters. Ebenezer and Bethany are attempting to help the beast vomit some good into the world... even though they really haven’t come anywhere close to managing the business of do-gooding themselves. But Bethany is distracted by her date-not-a-date with Geoffrey, while Ebenezer is worried by a file which reveals a truth about Bethany’s parents that might just ruin life for everyone at the 15-storey house. 

The beast, meanwhile, is left to teach itself how to be good. But its impulses can’t be ignored, and all the worst parts of the beast crawl out of the beast’s belly to form a dreadful child. At first the beast is charmed by its ghastly progeny but to its surprise, it develops something approaching a conscience. When the child finds out the truth about Bethany’s parents and plans to use it against her, can Ebenezer and the beast stop it from destroying Bethany’s hopes and dreams for ever? Wordsmith Meggitt-Phillips has a ball with this madcap adventure which delivers everything a discerning young reader desires… an extraordinary heroine to shout for, a beast who needs to be less beastly, laugh-out-loud antics, and some moments of unexpected tenderness. With terrific twists to keep the pages turning, and Follath’s brilliant gallery of black and white illustrations which put extra life and energy into the story, this is a delightful and dazzling series for all the family to enjoy.
