Doodle and her best friend go on another adventure together, this time when they go swimming in the sea. They encounter many surprises during their trip to the sea, and some that take Rosie by complete surprise!
The two best friends go and spend the day at the beach to play in the sea, but it is a chance for Doodle to show Rosie two very big secrets.
‘As Doodle was swimming away from Rosie, Rosie noticed the strangest thing… Suddenly, the splashes of Doodles kicks turned into gentle, calm little movements and waves which were swaying peacefully behind her.’
Although Doodle has Rett Syndrome, it does not mean she cannot live a life like anyone else. She enjoys swimming as it gives her the opportunity to use her legs, which she finds difficult to do on land.
Rett Syndrome is a unique genetic condition caused by the X chromosome having an abnormality. This then causes the brain to develop slightly dissimilar to other brains, which could leave some people without any speech and the ability to walk.
Is young Will a thief? Is young Tom playing tricks? Why are Tom’s parents angry with the cook and the haughty servant? Why do the elves, gnomes and pixies visit Tom’s grand house and Will’s humble cottage on Christmas Eve?

A story of music and magic, families and friendship, Tom’s Drum begins and ends with Christmas, but is guaranteed to entertain young readers at any time of the year. And as this is a fairy tale, someone is sure to have a happy ending: but who will it be?

Enchanting and charming are everyday words for us today, as are magic and magical. We talk of magic tricks, of magicians and magical moments, magical mystery tours, moods or music. But there is a magic, an old magic which exists in an ancient realm far, far older than us and all of our modern magic. It is as old as life itself and interweaves amongst us in our sleeping and half-sleep states. The old magic kingdom is home to dragons, to spells and fables, mermaids, fairies and to unicorns.The Fairies from Number 55 are excited to be on their first holiday away, beyond the bridleway. Staying with their affectionate aunt, Sunbeam and uncle Mistral, they are delighted to be joining their cousins Pippin and Clover, who are so very like them. Pippin and Clover have wings of light bright greenish and bronze hues and resemble, in the right shade of light, a pair of damsel flies.Before very long, the fairy family are once again cheerfully weaving in and out of the lives of yet more woodland creatures and tiny “giants”, making gifts, rescuing fawns and even restoring Woody the Wonder Dog’s bark!

Rickmears School was no ordinary school. It was enchanted, filled with magic and wonder. Strange things often happened within its walls, though never anything truly bad. Curiously, none of the teachers nor the headmaster seemed to notice the magic that quietly shaped the school… except for one man.
Old Tom, the school groundsman, was the only one who knew the truth. He alone had been granted a special power. But why him? Why not the teachers or the headmaster?
With his secret gift, Old Tom embarks on a series of unexpected adventures, all within the school grounds. Along the way, he meets new friends, each with unique powers of their own, who need his help and are eager to help in return.
But the question remains: can Old Tom stay the course? Will he have the strength and courage to bring balance and order back to this magical place of learning?
