NZ$ 20.00 each
Paperback
Author: Joe Friedman

The world of Boobela and Worm is one of special magic - the kind that comes from the heart and head, not from spellbooks. But it's also rooted in the every day experiences that make growing up so challenging and memorable. Their fourth book of stories sees them sharpen their wits as they turn detective to rumble a dognapper, as well as exploring each other's deepest thoughts as they unravel the dreams that trouble them. But there's laughter and play and the chance - as always - to make new friends and explore the physical world around them - from the city to the swamp and the weirdly wonderful island where Boobela's Gran and Granpa live.

Meanwhile, Will-scarred and traumatised after his last, fatal meeting with his father-seeks blindly for her, with only two of Lord Asriel's angels as companions on his dangerous search.

Neither are prepared for the terrible sacrifice they must endure, or for the universal consequences of their actions. Lyra and Will must play their part in the war between the worlds and heaven...

Paperback
Author: Mark Haddon
In Stock: 1
An explosive, highly-charged and hilarious adventure for all ages from Mark Haddon, acclaimed author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.
From the moment that Jim and his best friend Charlie bug the staffroom and overhear two of their teachers
speaking to each other in a secret language, they know there’s an adventure on its way.
But what does “spudvetch” mean, and why do Mr Kidd’s eyes flicker with fluorescent blue light when Charlie
says it to him? Perhaps Kidd and Pearce are bank robbers talking in code. Perhaps they’re spies. Perhaps
they’re aliens. Whatever they are, Jimbo and Charlie are determined to find out.
There really is an adventure on its way. A nuclear-powered, one hundred-ton adventure with reclining seats
and a buffet car. And as it gathers speed and begins to spin out of control, it can only end in one way . . . with
a BOOM!
