NZ$ 25.00 each
Paperback
Author: Zizou Corder
In Stock: 6
Washed ashore as a baby in ancient Greece, Halo is discovered by a family of centaurs. Although her true identity remains a mystery, she is loved as one of their own. But when Halo is dragged away by fishermen, her wild adventure begins.

Halo soon realizes that if she is to survive then she must live in disguise – as a boy. A violent war is threatening to erupt and Halo is at the mercy of the mighty Spartan warriors. And as she battles to hide her secret, Halo never forgets her quest to find out who she is – and where she really came from.
Zizou Corder is the not-so-secret-identity of Louisa Young and Isabel Adomakoh Young, who have previously written the bestselling Lionboy trilogy.

Winner of the ALA's Newberry Medal 2010

Four mysterious letters change Miranda's world.
Miranda and Sal are best friends, but when Sal gets punched by a new kid for no apparent reason, he shuts Miranda out of his life. Then she finds a mysterious note scrawled on a tiny slip of paper - "I am coming to save your friend's life, and my own. I ask two favours. First, you must write me a letter".
Miranda finds other notes left for her in strange places and she realises that whoever is leaving them knows all about her, including things that haven't even happened yet.
This complex urban mystery, narrated by a sixth-grader, is a story about friendship and time.
It's an intriguing story, and as it unfolds the pieces of the puzzle come together in unexpected ways.

Mothers Raising Sons : What Every Mother Needs To Know To Save Her Sanity order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author: Nigel Latta
In Stock: 0
Why are boys so noisy? Why do they run around all the time and break things? Why can't they focus on important things like eating vegetables and tidying up? Why do they leave everything to the last minute? Why are they so messy, and why doesn't it bother them? Why are they fascinated with things that can burn, blind and cripple them? Why don't they care about clothes or if their hair looks nice? Why do they lose the gift of speech at adolescence and how do I keep communicating with them? Why do they get so smelly? Why can't they just meet a nice girl, settle down and make me some grandkids? All this and more will be revealed with Nigel's trademark entertaining and edifying style, including pragmatic and accessible text, with quirky but relevant research and fascinating case studies to help mothers cope with the particular challenges involved in raising their sons.

First published July 2009.
