A Place for Everything
‘Painful, raw and with an honesty that rings clear as a bell’ Catherine Simpson, author of When I Had a Little Sister A searing account of a mother’s late-diagnosis of autism – and its reaching effects on a whole family.
The Wide, Wide Sea
A resolute promise from a child to a wild seal- to protect our beaches and oceans from plastic pollution. "Things will be different one day." When a young child forges a special connection with a seal on a trip to the beach, their imagination takes them on an unforgettable journey. Through their eyes, we see everything the amazing beach and wide, wide sea have to offer . . . until suddenly, a violent storm blows in. The next morning the beach is ugly . . . and covered in litter. Whose fault is it? And who can fix it? Together, the child, their grandmother, and the rest of the community clean the beach, and the child makes a promise to the seal that things will change for the better.
The Poodle Problem
Nine-year-old Pippa Peppercorn loves helping out at the only beauty salon in the quiet town of Crumbly-Under-Edge. A cosy joint run by the cuddly Mrs Semolina Ribena Fudge, customers and their pets stop by as much for the tea and sympathy as for a trim. But when rival beautician Trinity Meddler comes to town and sets up shop, Mrs Fudge is in danger of losing her customers. What's more, Trinity has a sinister plan up her sleeve - involving oodles of poodles! Luckily Dash the talking dachshund, with a nose for sniffing out a good mystery, is on hand to save the day - with Pippa as his number-one assistant.
Fang-Tastic Friends
None
Pup Idol
I hope everyone out there will know by now about how I, Summer Holly Love, finally persuaded my mum to let me have a wonderful golden Labrador puppy of my own named Honey. (If you are not aware of this, you can read all about it in The Puppy Plan, a fascinating and frankly gripping account of the Said Event.) Anyway, things have Moved On since those early days of dog-ownership. Honey went through a bit of a Difficult Phase recently, developing a taste for shoes (mainly flip-flops) and terrorizing dinner guests. So, to help her through her Awkward Adolescence, I dutifully (and brilliantly) trained her at Obedience Class and in the garden. And, hurrah! Honey's amazing talents shone through just in time for our School Talent Content, where we performed our 'Pup Idol' star act - and became Famous Celebrities in Our Own Right!
Puppy Party
Mum has given Summer two weeks to plan a surprise party for her glamorous older sister April. Summer realizes that it is also her dog Honey's birthday that week - and therefore decides to plan a joint party. She decides not to mention the whole 'puppy' part of the Plan to anyone except her most bestest friend, Molly Cook. Cut to party day and Utter Mayhem is slowly unfolding. Someone tries a dog biscuit thinking it's a trendy new kind of crisp; Honey and her doggy guests are tugging on the tablecloth, tearing open presents and trashing the house. Meanwhile April - who has been told to keep away until the last minute - is becoming more and more Over Dramatical and Suspicious. How will she react to the canine takeover of her special day?
Kitten Kaboodle
Ten-year-old Bertie Fletcher has only ever wanted one thing - a pet - but her grumpy dad won't allow her so much as a goldfish. So, to score herself plenty of animal time, she sets us a secret pet-sitting service. The perfect solution . . . or is it? Her first ward, Kaboodle, may just give her more than she bargained for! A funny, heart-warming and slightly cat-astrophic story about a kitten whose tongue is sharper than his claws.
The Smug Pug
There's a new kid in Crumbly-under-Edge. Smug the pug is clever, funny and full of surprises. And his owner, Tallulah Foghorn, is just as fantastic. PIppa Peppercorn has fallen head over heels for the devastating duo. Dash the dachshund, on the other paw, is not sure. He thinks Smug lives up to his name, and Tallulah is nuttier than one of Mrs Fudge's fruitcakes...
Puppy Power
Life has been a bit Yawnsome since I, Summer Holly Love, trained my golden Labrador, Honey, to become a Doggy of Well-Behaved and Quietish Proportions. Which is why it's so faberoony-tastic that Honey is expecting her VERY OWN LITTER of pups! Now that she is a mum-to-be, her eating habits have gone loop-the-loop crazy, and she keeps building Strange Nests all over our house. Meanwhile, I am having to sort out my sister's Love Dramas with her boyfriend, Nick the vet, who has been spending rather a lot of time with his new nurse, Felicity Shufflebottom. Will the arrival of Honey's tiny pups make everyone happier or will our household simply dissolve into Mayhem and Chaos?
Summer's Shadow
Her mother's will states that Summer's legal guardian is her uncle Tristan: a man Summer has never even heard of before. Forced to leave her life in London, Summer moves to Tristan's creepy, ancient house in Cornwall. There she is met with indifference from him, open hostility from her cousin, and an aunt who has chosen to leave rather than to tolerate her presence. Soon Summer comes to believe that the house may be haunted. But is it haunted by ghosts, or by the shadows of her family's past? Scared and lonely, Summer begins to spend more and more time in the beautiful sheltered cove she discovers nearby. But she's not alone. A local boy frequents it too. Can Summer find first love and the answers to the mysteries of her new home with this good-looking boy who appears to be too perfect to be true?
