Book Description
Drip...drip...drip... In five days, she will come... Drip...drip...drip... In five days, she will come... Roberta 'Bobbie' Rowe is not the kind of person who believes in ghosts. A Halloween dare at her ridiculously spooky boarding school is no big deal, especially when her best friend Naya and cute local boy Caine agree to join in too. They are ordered to summon the legendary ghost of Bloody Mary: say her name five times in front of a candlelit mirror, and she shall appear... But, surprise surprise, nothing happens. Or does it? Next morning, Bobbie finds a message on her bathroom mirror - five days - but what does it mean? And who left it there? Things get increasingly weird and more terrifying for Bobbie and Naya, until it becomes all too clear that Bloody Mary was indeed called from the afterlife that night, and she is definitely not a friendly ghost. Bobbie, Naya and Caine are now in a race against time before their five days are up and Mary comes for them, as she has come for countless others before... A truly spine-chilling yet witty horror from shortlisted 'Queen of Teen' author James Dawson.

Wales, 1990. Kevan Bevan has forgotten his homework, which means another rollicking. But while sheltering from a storm he is suddenly transported back in time one whole day. Now he has another chance to get his homework in, but it won’t be easy; aside from multiple Kevans, shady henchmen, tornadoes, time-loops, chases, wormholes, crashes and the end of the universe as we know it, Kevan needs to impress the girl he fancies while contending with the school bully. Looming over Valley Hill - “Bumptown” to the locals - is the headstock of the abandoned coalmine, a constant reminder of the disaster below ground that touched the whole town 30 years before.

Can Kevan break the cycle of his family’s silent sorrow? Will he win the heart of the girl he likes? Will he and his bezzy mate Anish thwart the school bully?

Book Description
As fast-paced as a freefall from a roaring airplane, as thrilling as a towering jump off a ski slope, Being Extreme is a fascinating examination of the adrenaline rush of extreme sports. Here is a world where living life on the edge is the only option, where you are only as good as your last jump . . . and where one false move can take you out of the game permanently. From mountain climbing and freestyle motocross to skydiving and snowboarding and beyond, in the past decade, the world of extreme sports has exploded onto the scene, with daredevils attempting acts of athleticism that leave spectators awed . . . and fearful. Being Extreme explores the motivations and societal impulses behind these high-risk lifestyles through interviews with professional athletes and recreational enthusiasts, as well as with psychiatrists who seek to understand the motivation behind these “Big T” personalities. Authors Gutman and Frederick also explore what heart-stopping sports are around the next curve, because in a world where the “rush” is everything, everyone is always upping their game.
