The Book 1: The Trouble With Fairies
As the only fairy in her family, Demi has always dreamed of escaping to Arcanium - the most prestigious of fairy organisations - but when she arrives, she uncovers a plan to overthrow the Queen of Faerie and must embrace her human side to defeat those who want dominion over her new home.
Watch. Listen. Learn.
Demi has grown up reciting the Arcanium motto to herself and spends her days dreaming of a new life within their walls. Tormented by her human sisters for being born part-fairy, she wants to leave home and find somewhere she can truly belong.
But when she is finally invited to join Arcanium and take on assignments in the Faerie realms, she soon uncovers a plot to overthrow the Faerie Queen and return the world to the dark days of old.
Breaking the rules could mean the loss of her new life, but doing nothing will ensure the destruction of the Faerie that she now sees as her true home.
After all her daydreaming about the perfect place to belong, Demi's about to find out that being a fairy involves much more than just waving a magic wand.
Welcome to Arcanium, elite training for the future of Faerie
(Disclaimer: All initiates join at their own risk. Loss of limbs unlikely. No refunds.)
The Book 2: The Problem With Fae
A new gift, the next assignment, and a realm full of elitist Fae - beating the Forgotten on their own territory is going to be Demi's biggest challenge yet.
For Demi Darcy, achieving her dream and becoming a member of Faerie headquarters should be a reason to celebrate. But that was before her new gift started causing problems.
Then she's thrown onto her second assignment at Gallows Oak, a realm full of ruthless, trickster Fae. Her task: find and expose the Forgotten 24 club. Simple, except the Forgotten are the enemy and hate half-bloods like her.
With a target on her back and no clue where to hunt for the mysterious 24 club, Demi faces controlling her new gift amid the increasing hostilities from those around her. At least this time her best friend Taz will be going with her, even if he is hiding secrets of his own...

How can you find your soul mate, when you don't have a soul?
Iris lives in a world ruled by The Order. Inspectors police the population by keeping careful watch over people's souls. If they shine their lanterns on you, your soul is projected for the world to see... and judge. But Iris has a deadly secret ... she is a hollow, a person with no soul.
She must hide from the Order at all costs, scraping a living in the shadows. But when she's sent to steal a ring from a lady of nobility, she is reunited with her Spark - one of the five parts that make up her own missing soul.
Now she must rely on the help of a young scholar named Evander Mountebank to track down the other four missing pieces of her soul, all the while evading The Order. Will she be able to protect her heart as well as find her soul?

The Book:
1942.
Nisha has escaped the terror of the Japanese invasion of Singapore. Missing the heat of home in Malaya, her grandmother’s house in the North of England seems especially cold and grey. Even the villagers are suspicious of a girl with brown skin who they can see is only half English.
One night, a boy beckons to Nisha from the treehouse she is forbidden from playing in. Or at least, she thinks he’s a boy. And for lonely Nisha, the chance of finding a friend is worth almost anything ...
A gorgeously evoked wartime ghost story and adventure full of grief, guilt, forgiveness and belonging.
The Author:
Growing up, Dan Smith lived three lives: the day-to-day humdrum of boarding school, finding adventure in the padi fields of Asia and the jungles of Brazil, and in a world of his own, making up stories. Dan is the author of My Friend the Enemy, My Brother’s Secret, Big Game, Boy X, Below Zero and She Wolf. Nisha’s War is his seventh children’s book with Chicken House.
Dan lives in Newcastle with his wife and two children.
Illustrator:
Matthew grew up on a dairy farm somewhere in the welsh hills, and in spite of his great love and appreciation of the outdoors he steered clear of a career in the family business (mostly but not completely because he doesn't digest dairy well). Instead he read and drew almost compulsively and has continued to do so because he was never really set on the right course for a proper job.
He Graduated from Falmouth College of Art in 2012, from which he earn't a BA hons degree in Illustration.
He has illustrated a number of picture books for children; his client list includes Penguin, Usborne, Oxford University Press, Floris Books, Blackwell's Bookshops and the SS Great Britain.
Matthew is influenced by heroes from the golden age of British book illustration, including Arthur Rackham, Beatrix Potter and William Heath Robinson. He utilizes ink linework and watercolour and a touch of digital tweaking to breathe life into his unusual characters.
He is currently skulking in the studio he's rigged together in his grandmother's attic.

Genre: YA dystopian
Format: Paperback
Dedication is Available
Postage: Free UK Only
Website: https://katewiseman.uk
Twitter: https://twitter.com/KateWiseman
The Book:
Icarus and Velvet is a YA Fantasy written by award winning novelist Kate Wiseman.
‘We increased the bounty on angels today,’ my father said. He was shielding his eyes as he squinted up through the ground window at the red, dying sun. ‘Five thousand pecs for a healthy woman or child…’
Humanity has splintered. Over millennia, the Avians of the Clifflands have learned to fly with wings of sky metal. The Subterraneans venture to the surface only to farm in vast glass domes. Between them lies the boundless and savage Wilderness. Suspicion and hostility between their cities shadow every aspect of life in this post-apocalyptic world.
Icarus is a Seraphim, rare and destined for greatness. When he is sent on a deadly mission to far-off Subterranean Newtopia, his people’s hopes weigh on him as heavily as the wings on his back, or the bounty he must capture.
Velvet is an outcast, shunned throughout Newtopia and protected only by her domineering father’s influence. Unwilling to bend to the patriarchal tyranny of the Elders, she dreams of freedom.
Meanwhile, shadowy forces are plotting to overturn the long-simmering stalemate, unleashing conflict that will usher in a new and even darker world order.
Threatened with a war that will end their people forever, Icarus and Velvet must struggle to survive. Flung together by fate, they must forge an alliance ― or die.
The Author:
Kate is a children’s writer. She lives in Saffron Walden with her husband, her son (when he’s home from university) and three neurotic cats. One of her cats, Maisie, is actually a ghost cat now, but Kate still talks to her every day.

Engaging to read, Kate Wiseman has been shortlisted for many awards including the Montegrappa Scholastic Prize for New Children's Writing; The Greenhouse Funny Prize and the Winchester Writers Prize for Children's Funny Fiction.

The Book 1: Being Miss Nobody
Eleven-year-old Rosalind is mortifyingly shy and cannot speak at all, well, not in front of anyone at school. Her classmates CALL HER weird and she becomes the perfect target for bullying - someone who cannot fight back.
So, Rosalind starts Miss Nobody - an anonymous blog to expose the bullies at her school. But, as her blog starts trending, things begin to spiral out of control. There is only one thing Rosalind has to do - speak up.
But how do you do that when you can't actually speak?
The Book 2: Jemima Small Versus the Universe
Jemima Small is funny and super smart. She knows a lot of things. Like the fact that she’s made of 206 bones, over 600 muscles and trillions of cells. What she doesn’t know is how that can be true and yet she can still feel like nothing…
Called Jemima Big by practically everybody at school, Jemima doesn't think her life could get any worse. Until she's weighed in front of her entire class and forced to join the school’s new "special" healthy lifestyle group - A.K.A Fat Club. She could not feel any less special.
But, Jemima knows that the biggest stars in the universe are the brightest, so when she's given the chance to apply for her favourite TV quiz show, maybe it's her time to shine.
The Book 3: Girl in Real Life
Most parents try to limit their kids' online exposure. But not Eva's. Her parents run a hugely successful YouTube channel, and Eva is the star of the show.
But Eva is getting sick of being made to pose in stupid mum-and-daughter matching outfits for sponsored posts. The freebies aren't worth the teasing at school. And when an intensely humiliating "period party" post goes viral, Eva is outraged. She's going to find a way to stop the channel, even if she has to sabotage it herself...

The Book:
Spence and Anthony have been friends for years, but it’s only when he witnesses a classmate die in what looks like a tragic accident at a house party that a flicker in the fabric of time helps Spence ‘see’ Anthony for the first time.
When Spence wakes up to the same day again and sees Clara, the girl who died, alive and well, it’s clear he’s been granted a second chance. And a third. And a fourth…
Caught in a loop, condemned to experience the same 24 hours over and over, Spence tries to prevent the terrible events of the party.
To break the spell he has to re-evaluate everything he previously took for granted and find the courage to call out his own and others complicity in events that marked the life and death of Clara Hart.

The Book 1: Mina and the Undead
'A dark and thrilling tale of the paranormal. With haunted houses, family secrets and murder galore, this delicious and gruesome tale of the macabre will ignite a whole new generation of vampire fans.' Lauren James
'Brimful of nostalgia and cinematic atmosphere. A thrilling read and a clever new twist on the vampire stories you love.' Laura Wood
New Orleans Fang Fest, 1995. Mina's having a summer to die for.
17-year-old Mina, from England, arrives in New Orleans to visit her estranged sister, Libby. After growing up in the town that inspired Dracula, Mina loves nothing more than a creepy horror movie. She can't wait to explore the city's darkest secrets - vampire tours, seedy bars, spooky cemeteries, disturbing local myths...
And it gets even better when Mina lands a part-time job at a horror movie mansion and meets Jared, Libby's gorgeous housemate, co-worker and fellow horror enthusiast.
But the perfect summer bliss is broken when, while exploring the mansion, Mina stumbles upon the body of a girl with puncture marks on her neck, clutching a lock of hair that suspiciously resembles Libby's...
Someone is replicating New Orleans' most brutal supernatural killings. Mina must discover the truth and prove her sister's innocence before she becomes the victim of another myth.
The Book 2: Mina and the Slayers: Mina and the Undead:
NEW ORLEANS, 1995. MINA'S HAVING A KILLER HALLOWEEN. Three months after Fang Fest, Mina's settling into her new life. Despite the teething problems in her relationship with Jared, she has her sister back, new friends and a part-time job to die for. Over Halloween, Mina and the gang have planned a spooky week of Gothic restaurants, horror movies, ghostly tours, creepy carnivals and a costume ball. But the fun doesn't last. Mina is on work experience with Detective Cafferty while the police are investigating a savage masked killer and a rise in suspicious 'animal attacks'. During her own investigations, Mina discovers a mysterious group of slayers, who are battling to control the rogue vampires. The threats circle closer as Mina spends her days with the police and nights with the slayers. Will she and her friends survive Halloween without being staked, stabbed or bitten?

The Book 1: A Throne Of Swans
When her father dies just before her birthday, seventeen-year-old Aderyn inherits the role of Protector of Atratys, a dominion in a kingdom where nobles are able to transform at will into the bird that represents their family bloodline. Aderyn's ancestral bird is a swan. But she has not transformed for years, not since witnessing the death of her mother - ripped apart by hawks that have supposedly been extinct since the long-ago War of the Raptors.
With the benevolent shelter of her mother and her father now lost, Aderyn is at the mercy of her brutal uncle, the King, and his royal court. Driven by revenge and love, she must venture into the malevolent heart of the Citadel in order to seek the truth about the attack that so nearly destroyed her, to fight for the only home she has ever known and for the land she has vowed to protect.
Written in rich detail and evocative language, this is the start of an irresistible, soaring duology about courage, broken loyalties and fighting for your place in the world.
The Book 2: A Crown Of Talons
Three months after Aderyn's coronation the court is celebrating the Solstice, but Aderyn is preoccupied by Lucien's continuing hostility. The celebrations are interrupted by the arrival of nobles who have escaped from the neighbouring country of Celonia - the flightless have risen up and overthrown their rulers. The world is changing.
As people being to question whether Aderyn and Aron are strong enough to rule, there is an attempted assassination on Aderyn's life. Siegfried and Tallis have made their move - they have formed an army, declared war and will take the throne, by any means necessary.
Aderyn must fly to unchartered territories and risk the lives of everyone she loves to defeat her enemies, secure her throne and unite her people.
Epic, dangerous and impossible to put down, this finale takes you on a soaring journey through grief, strength and determination to fight for what is right, what you love and what is yours.
The Book 3: Daughter of Darkness
The Underworld awaits . . .
Deina is trapped. As one of the Soul Severers serving the god Hades on earth, her future is tied to the task of shepherding the dying on from the mortal world - unless she can earn or steal enough to buy her way out.
Then the tyrant ruler Orpheus offers both fortune and freedom to whoever can retrieve his dead wife, Eurydice, from the Underworld. Deina jumps at the chance. But to win, she must enter an uneasy alliance with a group of fellow Severers she neither likes nor trusts.
So begins their perilous journey into the realm of Hades. . . The prize of freedom is before her - but what will it take to reach it?
From the authors of A THRONE OF SWANS and A CROWN OF TALONS comes a stunning new YA duology set in a world inspired by the mythology of ancient Greece.
The Author:
Katharine and Elizabeth Corr are sisters originally from Essex, now living in Surrey. When they both decided to write novels - on account of fictional people being much easier to deal with than real ones - it was obvious they should do it together. They can sometimes be found in one of their local coffee shops, arguing over which character to kill off next. Katharine and Elizabeth are authors of the enthralling A Throne of Swans duology and the spell-binding trilogy The Witch's Kiss
Stuff Katharine likes: playing instruments badly; dead languages; LOTR; loud pop concerts; the Surrey Hills. Killing off characters.
Stuff Elizabeth likes: sketching, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, cinema, long baths, kitchen discos, Terry Pratchett, Thor, London. Saving characters.
Stuff we both like: YA / non-YA fantasy and science fiction, Star Wars, Star Trek, each other (most of the time).

The Book 1:
Viper: Marianne has been training to be the Viper for her entire life - to serve and protect the King and the citizens of The Twelve Isles - but to become the Viper and protect the islands she loves she must find the strength to defeat her father.
Power, politics and pirates collide in this epic fantasy trilogy for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean
The Book 2: Venom
Marianne has never wanted to be a fighter, but with unrest and discord threatening the Twelve Islands, she will have to battle threats both inside and out in an attempt to attain peace for her homeland.
Marianne is now the Viper, but her hopes for peace in the Eastern Isles are being frustrated. The corrupt King remains on the throne, bandits are proving hard to stop and Marianne is not sure who among her crew she can truly trust.
For the islands to prosper, the invisible bond that once existed uniting land and sea must be reinstated. There's only one way that can happen - the return of magic. To do that Marianne must put aside all her fears: she must return to her roots, the Western Isles, and call on the power that runs in her blood.
She must become a Mage.
Only then, can she possibly command the army needed to finally take down the King.
The Book 3: Vulture
We are all one misstep away from being the villain...
Marianne has passed the ultimate test required to be a Mage. She is finally powerful enough to reunite the Twelve Isles.
But having exposed herself to the darker side of magic, Marianne is struggling. The magic within her is nearly impossible to control, and she becomes cruel and violent, mercilessly pursuing those who have harmed her in the past, ignoring the pleas of those closest to her to remember what's really important: saving the islands.
Everything she's fought for has come down to this. Will Marianne be able to fulfil her promise to bring peace to the islands when she can't even bring peace to herself?
Conquer the darkness. Control the magic. Save the Isles.

Everything she's fought for has come down to this. Will Marianne be able to fulfil her promise to bring peace to the islands when she can't even bring peace to herself?
Conquer the darkness. Control the magic. Save the Isles.

The Book:
Book 1 - Dangerous Remedy
Camille, a revolutionary's daughter, leads a band of outcasts – a runaway girl, a deserter, an aristocrat in hiding. As the Battalion des Mortes they cheat death, saving those about to meet a bloody end at the blade of Madame La Guillotine. But their latest rescue is not what she seems. The girl's no aristocrat, but her dark and disturbing powers means both the Royalists and the Revolutionaries want her. But who and what is she?
In these dangerous days, no one can be trusted, everyone is to be feared. As Camille learns the truth, she's forced to choose between loyalty to those she loves and the future.
Book 2 - Monstrous Design
Following the thrills and spills of Dangerous Remedy, the Battalion of the Dead return in a dazzling new adventure, set amid the opulence and squalour of 18th-century London and Paris.
1794, London: Camille and Al are desperately hunting Olympe's kidnapper. From the glamorous excesses of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens to the city's seedy underbelly, they are caught in a dangerous game of lies and deceit. And a terrible new enemy lies in wait with designs more monstrous than they could ever imagine... Can Camille play on to the end or will she be forced to show her hand?
In Paris, the Duc is playing his own dangerous games. With Ada in his thrall, old loyalties are thrown into question. The Battalion are torn apart as never before, and everything – Ada's love for Camille, her allegiance to the battalion itself – is under threat.
Book 3 - Glorious Poison
he daring and dramatic conclusion to Kat Dunn's epic C18th French Revolution trilogy 'with lashings of lust, love, sacrifice, betrayal and horror'.
Robespierre is dead. The Reign of Terror is over.
As Royalist strength grows, the Duc de L'Aubespine plots a coup that will consign the revolution to history. With Olympe in his clutches, he believes nothing can stop him. But he's reckoned without the intrepid Battalion of the Dead!
Reunited in Paris, Ada is poised for action - but if she plays her hand too soon, everything she's sacrificed to gain his trust will be lost. Meanwhile, an unlikely alliance with an old enemy might be Camille's only option to save Olympe and stop the duc in his tracks.
The glittering and macabre bals des victimes and the eerie catacombs make the perfect backdrop for the final episode of the Battalion's tale.

But when her father is brutally attacked in their New York apartment, she's swiftly packed off to live with a grandmother she's never met in Harrow Lake, the eerie town where her father's most iconic horror movie was shot.

The Book 1: Super Awkward
Super Awkward was released in the UK in September 2016, by Scholastic. It’s the first of three books about Bella Fisher. The second one is Truly Madly Awkward, and the third is Access All Awkward. (There’s also a summery one about a girl just like Bella, called Take A Chance On Me, and a Christmassy one about two girls called Holly and Elle called All I Want for Christmas.)
So just who is Bella Fisher…
Bella Fisher, is absolutely WINNING at FAILING at life.
1. She once got her tongue stuck to a box of Calippos in a supermarket
2. She accidentally called her geography teacher Mum. Twice. He wasn't impressed.
3. Bella is a geek. And not in a geek-chic kind of way, but in a secretly-caring-abou way.
4. Bella always fail maths and science.
So it figures that when she meets the FITTEST BOY IN THE WORLD, Zac, she’s doing solo star jumps. While dressed as a cereal box. *(BELLA’S NOTE TO SELF, fancy dress = HE-WILL-NEVER-EVER-FANCY-ME dress.)
Now she’s got to somehow persuade Zac to go to prom with her - while avoiding her evil ex and dealing with a secret so mega-awks she wants to Ctrl-Z her brain... What could go wrong? Oh yeah, that's right. Absolutely everything.
The Book 2: All The Jingle Ladies
The brand-new snowy, festive, feel-good, rom-com from bestselling Beth Garrod, perfect for fans of To All The Boys I've Loved Before and The Kissing Booth.
Molly hates Christmas. And it's not even her fault. Her mum and dad had the biggest ever Christmas single when she was a child, complete with video evidence of Molly in a hideous Christmas costume joyfully singing the mortifying last line that EVERYBODY knows.
Molly has spent her life trying to play it down but then the song is used in the hottest new Christmas film. It's only November and it's already EVERYWHERE. And when Molly meets a cute guy at the premier, how can she stop him from working out who she is?
But Molly isn't the only one hiding her real identity... will her Christmas romance turn out to have a Hollywood ending?
Perfect for fans of cosy Christmas movies like The Holiday and Last Christmas.
The Author:
Hello - I'm Beth, Super Awkward author. Which just about describes everything really. I started off writing comedy YA fiction, but now do middle-grade and 6+ graphic novels too.
Super Awkward was my debut book (published by Scholastic, 2016), but I had been writing for teenagers for a looong time. And being awkward in my own life for even longer.
Super Awkward was the first of three books about Bella Fisher - the second one was Truly Madly Awkward, and then came Access All Awkward.
I then wrote two comedy fiction YA books - the first is all about Meg, and her summer holiday packed with boy based drama - Take A Chance On Me. Then came a true festive-fest that followed the lives of Holly and Elle, as they swapped lives, and switched over the Atlantic, in All I Want for Christmas.
I’ve got two middle-grade books coming out with Simon and Schuster, the first is Sister Switch in July 2021, with a second a year later. And I’ve also co-written a series of four graphic novels called The Inflatables with the awesome Jess Hitchman (and illustrated by the amazing Chris Danger), the first of which is coming out in the US and UK summer 2021.
After doing a biology degree, I put it to excellent use by getting a job at the BBC and working on everything from Blue Peter to TOTP and Radio 1. I got to work with amazing people, and am proud that I worked on the launch of the Radio 1 Teen Awards, which are as much about celebs as they are awesome young people. The Teen Awards also led to my other career highlight; fishing out Miley Cyrus' used face-wipe from a bin.
After this I produced Blue Peter, but when it left for Manchester, I stayed in London and realised I’d accidentally become a freelance TV producer. But I missed my days of working on stuff for young people. So I wrote Super Awkward in my spare time.
Since then I’ve lived in lots of countries, working on pro-social campaigns for young people, but getting to do cool stuff with places like MTV, the UN and Nickelodeon.
I'm now represented by the incredible Gemma Cooper at The Bent Agency. She is brilliant.
I currently live in east London, and dream of owning a dog.

'Big issues are explored in this thrilling, high-concept page-turner that I devoured in two sittings.' PAULA RAWSTHORNE, author of SHELL
Lydia has been creating her AI, Henry, for years – since before her little brother died in the accident that haunts her nightmares; since before her dad walked out, leaving her and Mum painfully alone; since before her best friend turned into her worst enemy.
Now, Henry is strong, clever, loving and scarily capable: Lydia's built herself the perfect boyfriend in a hard-drive filled with lines of code.
But what is Henry really – and how far is he willing to go to be everything Lydia desires?

The Book 1: Deep Water
When her mum vanishes, Danni moves to a tiny Cornish fishing village with Dad – where the locals treat her like a monster. As the village\x27s dark, disturbing past bubbles to the surface, Danni discovers that she\x27s not who – or what – she thought she was. And the only way to save her family from a bitter curse is to embrace her incredible new gift.
The Book 2:
Things aren’t going well in Arlo’s life, but they get a whole lot worse when a strange, heavily tattooed girl keeps appearing everywhere he goes.
Turns out she’s even more sinister than he thought. Local rumour has it she’s been seen in the village before, many times, over many lifetimes.
She only comes when something terrible is happening to the land – like the current plans for gas exploration on a local farm. Trouble is, villagers say, she won’t leave until a forfeit is paid in blood. And right now, the blood she seems to have in mind is Arlo’s.
Arlo is sure it's all just stupid superstition. But is it? When he starts losing everything and everyone he cares about, is he prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to save his friends and family?
Broken Ground draws on the ancient folklore surrounding the harvest, giving it a contemporary and timely context.

When bidding on an auction item, if you enter more than the minimum increment for an item then your bid will be used for proxy bidding. This is how it works:
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
2. jumblebee places a bid on your behalf, using the minimum amount required to make you the highest bidder, i.e. current bid price plus bid increment OR the reserve price, if there is one and it can be covered by your proxy bid.
3. jumblebee continues to bid on your behalf, whenever you are outbid by another member's bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded or the auction is won.
4. jumblebee will notify you by email if your maximum bid is outbid by another member and provided the auction is still running, you will then have a chance to enter a new maximum bid if you wish.
For example:
The current bid on an auction item is £100. The minimum increment is £10. You enter a bid of £150 (your maximum bid).
Using your bid, but increasing only by the minimum increment, jumblebee sets the current bid to £110.
Another person bids £130 but they are immediately outbid by jumblebee bidding on your behalf and the current bid goes up to £140.
The auction finishes and you have won the auction item at a price of £140.
