Book Description
Henry Morton Stanley was a cruel imperialist - a bad man of Africa. Or so we think: but as Tim Jeal brilliantly shows, the reality of Stanley's life is yet more extraordinary. Few people know of his dazzling trans-Africa journey, a heart-breaking epic of human endurance which solved virtually every one of the continent's remaining geographical puzzles. With new documentary evidence, Jeal explores the very nature of exploration and reappraises a reputation, in a way that is both moving and truly majestic.

Book Description
Fans of Jon Klassen and Oliver Jeffers will love this mischievously funny read-aloud from award-winning author/illustrator Jon Agee Mysterious noises keep waking up the Wimbledon family. "That's very odd," says Mr. Wimbledon each time, but when he returns from checking on the sounds, he's always reassuring: "It's only Stanley; he's fixing the oil tank." "It's only Stanley; he's clearing the bathtub drain." But what Stanley the dog is actually doing while his oblivious family goes back to bed is deliciously absurd: he's turning the house into a rocket ship to zoom himself and his family to another planet for an alien encounter. This is a perfect rhyming read-aloud for fans of irreverent tales like Click Clack Moo and I Want My Hat Back.

Book Description
Twelve-year-old Stanley Brambles is an average kid. He lives in the boring, small town of East Stodgerton, has a regular family-a mom, a dad, and a dog-and his life is one long routine. But all that changes one day when he meets his great uncle, Jackson Warrington Lee. Rumour has it that Uncle Jack was once the most feared pirate to ever sail the seven seas-and now Stanley wants to uncover his secrets. A humdrum visit to Uncle Jack's seaside mansion quickly turns into the adventure of a lifetime as Stanley and his friends, Alabaster Lancaster and Prunella "Nell" Hawthorne, are whisked off to a strange and wonderful world, where vicious prehistoric fish dominate the aquatic food chain and pirates still plough the waves. But there's more than piracy afoot. A sinister power is at work in this world, and Stanley is more than a little surprised to learn that he has somehow drawn its attention. A rollicking story full of adventure and danger, good versus evil, and the strength and importance of friendship, Stanley Brambles and the Pirate's Treasure brilliantly shows that even seemingly ordinary people are capable of extraordinary things.
