Walney Island Girl
Walney Island, which lies just off the Furness Peninsula in south-west Cumbria, is just eleven miles long and five miles square. Mentioned in the Domesday Book, the island was only sparsely populated until the Jubilee Bridge was built in 1908; before this there was a ferry. Now home to over 13,000 people (mainly concentrated into three towns), Walney still retains the feeling of "a place apart." Born in 1920 and brought up on Walney Island, Katie Percy has recorded her early memories which illustrate the reality of everyday life in pre-war England. Evocative and moving, Katie's memoir describes her struggle as one of seven children in a poor family, including her first job when she left school at 14 and being called up to work in Vickers Steelworks for the war effort, along with eloquent recollections of family, friends, and neighbors.
Percy the Pigeon
'Percy the Pigeon was greedy, he loved to eat and eat. His whole body was round and chubby, from his head right down to his feet.' Percy the Pigeon is a charming book, suitable for all age ranges and anyone who loves stories with a moral. The younger children and toddlers will enjoy the bright colouring of the pictures and the simple flow of the rhyming pattern. The older children who understand the value of friendship and the importance of sharing will appreciate the classic ideas and traditional storytelling. For lovers of Julia Donaldson's and Axel Scheffler's 'The Gruffalo' and 'Superworm' and Eric Carle's 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar', Katie Budge's debut book will make every bed time a perfect goodnight.

A Case for Solomon
The spellbinding story of one of the most celebrated kidnapping cases in American history—the kidnapping of Bobby Dunbar—and a haunting family mystery that took almost a century to solve. THE MOST NOTORIOUS KIDNAPPING CASE IN AMERICAN HISTORY In 1912, four-year-old Bobby Dunbar went missing in the Louisiana swamps. After an eight-month search that electrified the country and destroyed Bobby’s parents, the boy was found, filthy and hardly recognizable. A wandering piano tuner was arrested and charged with kidnapping— a crime then punishable by death.
