The BFG

The BFG is one of Dahl’s most lovable character creations.  Whether galloping off with Sophie nestled into the soft skin of his ear to  capture dreams as though they were exotic butterflies; speaking his delightful,  jumbled, squib-fangled patois; or whizzpopping for the Queen, he leaves an  indelible impression of big-heartedness.

The Witches

The bond between the boy and his grandmother becomes the  centrepiece of the tale–a partnership of love and understanding that survives  even the boy’s unfortunate transformation into a mouse. And once the two have  teamed up to outwitch the witches, the boy’s declaration that he’s glad he’s a  mouse because he will now live only as long as his grandmother is far more  poignant than eerie.

The Twits

Mr and Mrs Twit are extremely nasty, so the Muggle-Wump monkeys  and the Roly-Poly bird hatch an ingenious plan to give them just the ghastly  surprise they deserve! This edition has a great new Quentin Blake cover as well  as a whole new exciting end section about Roald Dahl and his world

You Don’t Know What War Is: The Diary of a Young Girl From Ukraine

***A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR***
*** Shortlisted for the Children’s Book of the Year: Older Non Fiction The Week Junior Book Awards***

Featured on This Morning, Steph’s Packed Lunch, Radio 4: Today and Channel 4 News
_______________

Everyone knows the word ‘war’. But very few understand what it truly means. When you find you have to face it, you feel totally lost, walled in by fright and despair. Until you’ve been there, you don’t know what war is.

This is the gripping and moving diary of young Ukrainian refugee Yeva Skalietska. It follows twelve days in Ukraine that changed 12-year-old Yeva’s life forever. She was woken in the early hours to the terrifying sounds of shelling. Russia had invaded Ukraine, and her beloved Kharkiv home was no longer the safe haven it should have been. It was while she was forced to seek shelter in a damp, cramped basement that Yeva decided to write down her story. And it is a story the world needs to hear.

Yeva captured the nation’s heart when she was featured on Channel 4 News with her granny as they fled Ukraine for Dublin. In You Don’t Know What War Is, Yeva records what is happening hour-by-hour as she seeks safety and travels from Kharkiv to Dublin. Each eye-opening diary entry is supplemented by personal photographs, excerpts of messages between Yeva and her friends and daily headlines from around the world, while three beautifully detailed maps (by Kharkiv-native Olga Shtonda) help the reader track Yeva and her granny’s journey. You Don’t Know What War Is is a powerful insight into what conflict is like through the eyes of a child and an essential read for adults and older children alike.

Published in association with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, with a foreword by Michael Morpurgo.

The story of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some clues about the book on the cover, but in this case we think that would spoil the reading of the book. We think it is important that you start to read without knowing what it is about.
