Shadow Creepers
A story of diversity, friendship and bravery that unfolds as a group of unlikely friends rise above their fears and come to appreciate their differences. Nine-year-old Lucas is captain of the football team and he’s not afraid of anything …except the monster under his bed!! When Lucas's parents won’t believe that he’s in danger, he turns to his best friend for advice only to have his secret overheard by Emily, the class chatterbox. By lunchtime, the news has spread. At first embarrassed, Lucas discovers that most kids share his fear and none more than Martin, the new boy. The boys pair up and, to their astonishment, catch their first monster. But the next day, Martin’s parents go missing and the trail of clues leads under Martin’s bed. Almost by accident, Lucas and Martin team up with chatterbox Emily and the only two kids who don’t believe in monsters. When they crawl under Martin’s bed, there’s no going back. And unless they find a way to work together, nobody will make it home alive. Creatively illustrated, and told from the point of view of Lucas and Martin, this is a book you won’t want to put down.
Behind the Twisted Fence
Lose yourself in a captivating story of magic and mischief following 12-year-old Zelie as she battles the evil that lurks a decade after Jack chopped down the beanstalk. Jack says magic is illegal and dangerous. But he won't say why. Nobody will. All Zelie knows is that something happened long ago that changed everything, and now the secrets are hidden behind the twisted fence. There are rumours of course: of giants, witches, and other made up things. But magic is real enough. She's even seen Jack using it sometimes. So it can't be that bad, can it? Zelie can't tolerate the mystery any longer and decides to climb the twisted fence. In her quest for answers, Zelie discovers the lighter side of magic and befriends some unlikely companions. At the same time, she accidentally re-awakens the giant along with an evil force that threatens every child in the village with a life of slavery. Now Zelie's only option is to learn the forbidden ways of magic and use her wits and new friendships to save her family and bring freedom back to the villagers.
Nally Nighttime
Sunset isn't just the end of the day. For Ava, it's also when Nally Nighttime comes to visit: a very cuddly, mostly-playful, sometimes-cranky creature who brings songs, stars, dreams, and lots of energy for the next day. When Ava and her parents sing, Nally Nighttime brings out the stars and shadows and makes Ava’s flashlight shine a bright circle on the wall. There are hugs and stories when Nally is around. And Nally gives Ava wild and wonderful dreams that change every night. But best of all, when Ava gets enough sleep, Nally Nighttime gives her energy, and courage, and smiles to enjoy all through the next day. In this wonderfully original story, Hewison’s simple text and vivid pictures personify Nighttime as a lovable character who illuminates the best bits of bedtime and beyond. Perfect for readers young and old, Nally Nighttime reminds us about the value and joy found within the time of the day we can so easily neglect.
