There Doesn't Have To Be A Reason
Can your tail help you fly? asks the bird. Can your tail help you swim? asks the beaver. Can your tail swat bugs away? asks the bison. It turns out the bear’s tail does none of these things... and no matter how many creatures and critters he meets, he still doesn’t know why he's got one. But does that mean Bear shouldn’t love his tail? Join Bear on his journey to learn all the reasons why some animals have tails—and that you never really need a reason to love your own body.

The Nightmares Of Finnegan Quick
By night, Finn has horrible nightmares. By day, they come true! A gripping horror story for readers aged 10 and over. Finnegan Quick is haunted by nightmares. They’re so bad, he’s terrified of going to sleep. Because Finn’s dreams change the waking world too. He’s already lost his mum, his dad, his dog, even his shadow. And now they’re coming for his gran, the only family he’s got left. Then a mysterious girl starts appearing in his dreams, helping Finn fight back against the creatures in his nightly adventures.
On the first day of the new term, she turns up at school, right there in real life, in the lunch queue! Cass tells Finn that she has come to solve the mystery of Finn’s missing parents. Together with Finn’s geeky best friend Squid, they travel through the nightmare world, battling goblins, ghosts and zombies. Finn, Cass and Squid are a sparky, wise-cracking trio, but even together, can they prove to be a match for the creatures of the night? If Finnegan Quick is to save the people he cares about most, he has to remember the lesson his gran has been teaching him all his life. He must learn to face his fears – or be destroyed by them!
