Book Description
'This story is full of adventure and heart! A real page turner!' Dani Harmer 'Warm, funny, pacy, endlessly inventive and life-affirming; there are lots of young readers who will identify with Rory' Chris Beckett, Arthur C. Clarke-Award winner Eleven-year-old Rory Hobble has it tough: he gets upsetting thoughts all the time and they won't go away – 'Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)', the head doctors call it. His mum hasn't been very well for a long while either. Perhaps it's his fault... Maybe that's why she doesn't always feed him; maybe that's why she screams at him. At least Rory has his telescope – gazing at the unchanging stars keeps him calm. But, one night, Rory sees something impossible in the sky: mysterious lights – artificial and definitely not of earthly origin. When his mum is abducted by the shadowy Whiffetsnatcher, Rory – accompanied by his space-faring, care-experienced social worker, Limmy – travels beyond the Earth, chasing those mysterious lights to the frozen ends of the Solar System. Along the way he must outwit a breakaway human civilisation living on a Martian moon; survive the threat of otherworldly monsters; and learn to speak to alien whales. But his greatest challenge left Earth with him and it will take all the courage he has not only to overcome his OCD, but to decide whether he wants to rescue an abusive mother if he gets his chance...

Pages : 84
Book Description
In the heart of a bustling city, where the noise of urban life reverberates through the streets, a hidden treasure awaits discovery, a modest flower shop with an extraordinary secret. Enter the world of 'The Language of Flowers,' where Amora, a reserved florist, tends to her blossoming companions while nurturing a unique and profound gift. While her affinity for flowers is undeniable, it is the whispers hidden within their petals that truly define her. Amora possesses the remarkable ability to understand the emotions they convey, a skill she keeps carefully concealed. Within the vibrant tapestry of petals and fragrances, Amora discovers a sanctuary of solace and comprehension, a sanctuary disrupted by an unexpected meeting with Kalani, a customer in search of more than just a bouquet. As the two women's paths converge, a journey of self-discovery and profound connections unfolds. Kalani, nursing a wounded heart, finds herself inexplicably drawn not only to the enchanting blooms but also to the enigmatic florist behind them. Little does she realize that this serendipitous encounter will swing open the doors to a realm where flowers serve as bridges between souls, where sentiments are conveyed through the delicate language of petals and leaves. Through the gradual unfurling of this tale, the ancient language of flowers takes center stage, weaving its spellbinding magic. Past wounds are tenderly tended to, long-lost passions rekindled, and a panorama of human emotions is unveiled through the canvas of blossoms. In the embrace of nature's most captivating creations, Amora and Kalani's lives converge, guiding them through the intricate landscape of feelings, where love, forgiveness, and hope flourish. 'The Language of Flowers' captures the essence of two kindred spirits entranced by the allure of blooms, and their voyage towards solace and love within the petals' embrace. This narrative serves as a poignant reminder of the timeless, cross-cultural language that transcends barriers, where unspoken sentiments find expression through the ethereal dance of nature's most exquisite wonders. Step into the threshold of the flower shop and lose yourself in a realm where emotions blossom and the language of flowers patiently awaits to unveil its mystique.
