Monkey
Magic - The curse of Mukada
by Grant S. Clark
What on earth is causing the orangutans of Mukada Nature Reserve
to fall sick and head to the coast? Romy Alexander – on a
visit to Borneo with her scientist father – isn’t convinced
by the park warden’s explanation that over-crowding is the
cause of the problem. The 11-year-old soon discovers she has acquired
extraordinary powers to investigate the mystery that brings her
face-to-face with dark forces threatening the creatures of the rainforest.
In a captivating and moving adventure, Romy comes to realise that
she alone can help break a curse that has brought suffering to generations
of orangutans.
Grant S. Clark
is a journalist based in Singapore and the father of two daughters.

Titanic
2020
by Colin Bateman
Everyone said the original Titanic was unsinkable. We all know how
that story ends.
The new Titanic is also supposedly unsinkable. But as Jimmy Armstrong
quickly finds out, there are worse things than drowning . Stowing
away wasn't one of his better ideas, but having to work his passage,
and put up with spoilt girl Claire, is enough to make anyone want
to jump overboard. That is until he finds out about a mysterious,
incurable disease rapidly infecting the population. Suddenly being
at sea seems the safest place to be…
Titanic 2020 is fast-paced adventure set on the high seas with an
unlikely but terrific hero - perfect for boy readers. |

Stoneheart
by Charlie Fletcher
Deep
in the City something had been woken, so old that people had been
walking past it for centuries without giving it a second look. When
George chips the corner from the stone Pterodactyl outside the Natural
History Museum he awakes an ancient power. This prehistoric beast,
sentry-still for centuries, hunts him down with a terrifying wrath.
And this is just the beginning. The taints and spits – statues
with opposing natures – are warring forces; wreaking deadly
havoc on the city landscape. This epic adventure exposes forces
long-layered in the fabric of London. After entering its richly
original and breathtaking world, the city streets and skyline will
never again seem the same!
To be made into a major feature
film directed by Scott Rudin. |
