Book Description
In this wonderfully inventive book, Bella is taking her dog for a stroll across the page but halfway across, he disappears! Unable to quite believe what's just happened Bella watches, transfixed, with changing emotions of surprise, indignation, moments of renewed hope (as the authorities arrive to take control) followed by shock (as they too succumb to the book's inexplicable behaviour) and finally action when Bella marches toward the dangerous middle of the book . . . only to disappear herself! At this point, the book has consumed its characters and it's down to the reader to step in to help. A note from Bella appears directly appealing for assistance and, with a rigorous shake, the characters reappear. Normality is restored and Bella is finally able to take her dog for an uninterrupted walk . . . or is she?!

Jules Quatrenoix’s extraordinary adventures - Book 1
Author: Tatiana Deschamps
Publisher: Publishroom
ISBN:
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
As a young boy moves to a whole new place with his mother, he discovers that there are many mysteries in this town. Each answer leads him closer to a mission he will need help for. Twelve-year-old Jules Quatrenoix leaves Paris to settle in Howlingdeadman with his mother in the summer of 1912. She was hired as a housekeeper at the De Chaussecourtes’ after her husband, a junior officer on board RMS Titanic, went missing. Much to Jules’ annoyance, they have to start a new life in this remote small town. The holidays promise to be gloomy until that night when Jules hears voices calling him from an abandoned room in the house. Jules is puzzled and starts to investigate. Little by little he discovers the chilling truth about Howlingdeadman – young Barnabé’s death that started it all in 1802; the murders as an offering to Datura, an evil goddess; and the members of the Brotherhood, the most influential people in town, whose ultimate aim is to spread darkness on earth during the Spring fair. Supported by his dog, Lebrac, and with the help of his two new friends, Aristide and Lothaire, Jules tries to put an end to this madness, thus risking their lives. As Jules, discover the town of Howlingdeadman, its inhabitants and its secrets. There isn't any chance to get bored in this adventure ! EXCERPT "‘Did you sleep well, my boy? You look weary this morning! Doesn’t the country air agree with you? Surely it must be better than in Paris!’ teased Monsieur de Chaussecourte over his newspaper. ‘Oh no, Sir! I’m quite rested, it’s only that I heard some noise in the room below. It must have been the boys moving around in their sleep. I had trouble going back to sleep.’ Aimé looked at him quizzically. ‘Noise? In the room below? It can only be rats or mice. The children’s bedroom is not under yours. It must have come from the condemned room. It looks as if only those rodents are allowed inside!’ ‘A condemned room? How long has it been here?’ asked Jules in amazement. ‘Oh for years! Even before we moved in. Nobody has ever found how to get inside. The children have spent hours trying to unlock the mystery, though! They’re certain that a treasure is hidden in there. They do have such imagination!’ He resumed reading his newspaper. ‘Those mice again! Something needs to be done, Aimé! They’ll end up gnawing everything!’ Madame de Chaussecourte said, angrily. Jules was taken aback. He felt anxious and excited at the same time. To hear noises and whispers when the room was supposed to be empty was quite disturbing, but after all he was not going to be bored during the holidays! A secret room! An investigation just like the one in the book he had so much enjoyed reading, The Mystery of the Yellow Room2. He would solve the mystery of that place just like Joseph Rouletabille had! As soon as the family had left he would go in search of the room!" ABOUT THE AUTHOR Tatiana Deschamps : French writer, I wrote this book a few years ago while unemployed. As a child, I had always made up stories and the urge to write crept back little by little. That's how bits of the story, characters and places began to germinate seven years ago. So I do hope you will have a lovely time with Jules and his friends.

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1192
Book Description
HUGE SAVINGS OFF THE INDIVIDUAL BOOK PRICES! Includes the first 3 novels in the BLACK CARBON series: The Hunted, The Surface, The Tempest THE HUNTED Lights out. Keep still. Pray for morning. Joule and Cage Mazur feel like prisoners in their home. With something new stalking the streets at night, their family’s only protection is bolting the door and embracing the darkness. And even though they manage to trap and kill one of the monsters, their locks won’t hold forever… Dealing with rising panic and rage in the neighborhood, the free-spirited survivors hatch a plan to undermine the killers. But with the night hunters picking off everyone they can, Joule and Cage know time is ticking toward humanity’s extinction. Can they kill the Night Hunters and reclaim the top of the food chain? THE SURFACE No Power. No Food. No Rescue. When the rains came the first time and campus flooded, Cage thought it was a freak weather incident. Joule saw it for what it was—a warning. Life went back to normal when most of the water receded. But the standing puddles left behind weren’t normal. Something had laid eggs in it… The creatures from the San Fransisco Bay found a path into the floodwaters. As the rain comes harder the second time, the flood is much deeper and those who go underwater don’t come back up. The rip-currents are the least dangerous things in the water. Can Cage and Joule escape? How will they survive when even the land isn’t safe? And what about the ones they left behind? THE TEMPEST Find shelter. Stay low. Hold on tight. The first tornado was an anomaly. It cleared the land and bumped up the time scale on the job. But as everyone rushes to set up the new solar farm, they find that something has shifted… At first it was a series of small, unassuming whirlwinds, a nuisance more than a real concern. But soon the funnels get bigger and the winds get stronger, and there’s nowhere safe to hide. When Joule and Cage get separated, the winds get even more dangerous. They’ve always had each other’s backs, but now they’ll have to survive on their own. Can they even help the people who live in the path of the fury? Maybe, if they can save themselves first. These are the first three books in the fast-paced Black Carbon apocalyptic thriller series by a USA Today bestselling author. If you like resourceful heroes, world-ending catastrophes, and breathtaking action, you’ll love AJ Scudiere’s spine-tingling series, BLACK CARBON.
