The Agarthians
Prepare to be captivated by a thought-provoking journey that challenges our perceptions and confronts the consequences of our actions. In this gripping tale, we are reminded that despite our existence being a mere blip in the vastness of the universe, our theories of evolution have perpetuated the notion of human superiority. Yet, within the pages of this remarkable story, we are compelled to acknowledge the grave consequences of our limited imagination.
Set nearly two centuries into the future, humanity is about to face a harsh awakening. It becomes painfully clear that every action we have taken, whether virtuous or wicked, carries a weight that cannot be escaped. The repercussions, whether inflicted by our fellow humans or something beyond our wildest imaginations, loom ominously. The time for regrets has passed, and the opportunity to sow goodness has slipped through our fingers. Now, we must confront the inescapable consequences of our wilful ignorance—a reckoning we can no longer evade.
Within this cautionary tale, the signs of our impending fate have been apparent all along, staring us in the face, yet we have chosen to turn a blind eye. The price for our negligence is now due, and the bill will be paid in full by every member of our species.

The Almost True Story of Sandy Primary School
When Hurricane Soft and Fluffy completely flattens Sandy Primary School, an unlikely turn of events means that the children of Mr Bell’s class are handed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The government wants a bunch of ordinary children to not only design the new school, but to decide on its location, too. Unfortunately, the government can’t find any ordinary children, so Mr Bell’s class are chosen instead.
When the school is reopened, Mr Bell leads his bonkers class through perilous bus journeys, calamitous school fairs, an exhilarating treasure hunt and all-out parent warfare at the sports day. Gluey guinea-pigs, a local artist’s Big Plastic Windy Bottom and daft doctors are all part of the usual ebb and flow of Sandy Primary School.
This is a story that needs to be told, but who could possibly write it and would anyone believe that it was true? It is...almost.

The Anemone Bowl
“If the inability to see other than that which you wish to see can be considered a kind of heaven, then presumably the inability to escape self-knowledge must be one version of hell.”
The ill-fated consequences of happenstance: Born into an English country village community in the 1950s, a young boy is led, through a series of events over which he in effect has little or no control, to take the life of a neighbour’s child, and subsequently his own. And this is the tale, if there can be any, of the subsequent accounting.
The book itself is set in an ever-mutating afterlife that also provides an interim existence before rebirth – an illusory world where, of necessity, it is in large part conveniently repressed memories that hold sway, and where for Eric (if we can suppose that to be his name), each step forward is also leading (with some level of perversity) to the truths of his own personal past transgressions.

The Arrival of Jessica BunnyDuck
One day, Mummy Duck is returning from the shops when she finds an abandoned baby under an oak tree. Who is this baby, and what will the Duck family do to help her? Read on to find out...
The story behind Jessica BunnyDuck is simple: it is OK to be different. The origins of the story go back over 30 years, when the author was working with Cher and had begun to learn about the Craniofacial Children Association (CCA) which Cher had been actively working on since starring in the film Mask in 1985. When he met the children supported by the CCA during a retreat in Texas, he was in awe at how they supported each other without question and how open and honest they were with each other. This is when he came up with the idea of Jessica BunnyDuck.
‘Much like children with craniofacial conditions, Jessica BunnyDuck deals with being different and finding a place in which to belong.’
