Haunted United
It is the 1985-6 football season. The Premiership is six years in the future. The Football League still consists of four divisions. And Bowland United are at the bottom of the Fourth. Once they were the best team in the country, with nine league championships and five FA Cups. In 1939 they were the first team to do the Cup and League double. Now they struggle for survival, facing re-election to the League, dogged by bad luck, tragic accidents - and the supernatural. A succession of promising young players are mysteriously badly injured on the pitch, and all report being fouled by a ghostly player who vanishes as strangely as he appeared. Something sinister has laid a curse on this club and a dreadful secret lies buried in the past.
Coming in to Land
Jack is a teenage pilot flying for the RAF in World War I. He is bullied by his fellow cadets until one day when he saves the day and he gains their respect. A highly successful series of exciting, easy to read, short fiction books with storylines designed to appeal to young people who want high-interest material but who find full-length novels too daunting.
Watch Over Her
Everyone on the estate thinks Mrs Cattermole is a bit batty, talking about her non existent 'children' and her precious 'treasure'. She's easy prey for two con men who persuade her they're from the Water Board and break into her house to steal her treasure. But no one knows that Mrs Cattermole's children do exist - the ghosts of children she looked after in the War - and they will do anything to protect her. The two con men are found dead of fright outside her flat, while Mrs Cattermole has also gone to her rest, holding her 'treasure' - a box full of the important details of her life. The children have been watching over her all the time.
The Second Person from Porlock
Highgate, London, 1824. Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a washed-up opium addict, estranged from his friends and from his neglected wife. His grip on reality is starting to slip; his past and present mingle in laudanum-induced dreams. In a Cambridge college library, Scrivener, a bullied undergraduate, finds a strange annotation in a book of Coleridge’s poems. Intrigued by this mystery marginalia and captivated by Romantic poetry, he resolves to become a poet himself, with Coleridge as his guiding light. Across the sea, Samuele, a young Sicilian, discovers that his mother once had a liaison with Coleridge. He sets out for England to learn all he can about the man who may be his father. It isn’t long before Samuele and Scrivener cross paths – but will their journeys take them to the real Samuel Taylor Coleridge?

Colonel Mustard in the Library with the Candlestick
Who murdered the Head of Geography on the GCSE field trip? Surely not one of the students? Only the Wizard Firebrain can save Lord Oakheft's followers as they face a terrible doom, so why did he leave them for another other task? Who is the mysterious doctor who sends Morley to a hospital nobody has heard of, a place of nightmare and terror? (NB: it's best not to read this story too late at night!) What price must hopeless Norbert pay to be the best football referee in the entire Universe? (Be careful what you ask for, Norbert.) Each story has a twist and a shudder, written by an author the Times Educational Supplement called 'a specially talented yarnspinner.'
The Second World War
