When Grace’s fellow Maid of Honour, Lady Sarah, disappears after a trip to meet the Queen’s fleet in the docks, Grace knows she has to find out what’s going on.
She believes Sarah has run away to be married to the handsome Captain Drake – but is she right? With the help of her acrobat friend Masou, Grace leaves the court in disguise in an attempt to track down Lady Sarah and try to save her honour. But this time Grace may be taking on more than she can cope with, as she faces life at sea, and the dangers of pirates! Will Grace and Masou ever return from their ill-fated voyage?”

My name is Lady Grace Cavendish, and I’m Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s favourite Maid of Honour. Everyone thinks growing up at the Royal Court is all parties and feasts and jewels – but mysterious, dangerous things always seem to happen!
And because I am small and smart and very good at sneaking around, the Queen has made me her very own special secret investigator. Last night was the Valentine’s Ball, and I was supposed to pick a suitor there (boring!). But later on, one of them was found dead – with a dagger in his back! And it’s up to me to find the killer…

Zinny’s life is falling apart. Shadowy figures are following him. His parents are keeping secrets but he can’t figure out why.
Then his mum ends up in hospital, his dad disappears, and Zinny has to do whatever he can to save his family. Even if it means helping the very men he’s been running from.
As the clock ticks, Zinny knows it’s only a matter of time before someone ends up dead – and it could be him.

Dangerous secrets lie between the pages of this book.

OK, I warned you. But if you think I’ll give anything away, or tell you that this is the sequel to my first literary endeavor, The Name of This Book is Secret, you’re wrong.

I’m not going to remind you of how we last left our heroes, Cass and Max-Ernest, as they awaited intiation into the mysterious Terces Society, or the ongoing fight against the evil Dr. L and Ms. Mauvais. I certainly won’t be telling you about how the kids stumble upon the Museum of Magic, where they finally meet the amazing Pietro!

Oh, blast! I’ve done it again. Well, at least I didn’t tell you about the missing Sound Prism, the nefarious Lord Pharaoh, or the mysterious creature born in a bottle over 500 years ago, the key to the biggest secret of all.

I really can’t help myself, now can I? Let’s face it – if you’re reading this, it’s too late.

Magic is BAD.
As in fake. Cheesy. Unreal. At least, that’s what Clay, who has seen one magic show too many, thinks.

When words from his journal appear mysteriously on his school wall as graffiti, he never imagines that magic might be to blame. And when the same graffiti lands him at Earth Ranch, a camp for “troubled” kids on a remote volcanic island, magic is the last thing he expects to find there.

But at Earth Ranch, there is one strange surprise after another, until Clay no longer knows what to expect. Is he really talking to a llama? Did he really see a ghost? What is the scary secret hidden in the abandoned library? The only thing he knows for sure is that behind the clouds of vog (volcanic smog), nothing is as it seems. Can he solve the riddle of Earth Ranch before trouble erupts?

When her behavior gets out of control, the adults step in with discipline that forces Ellie to get to know her cousins. Initially the kids forge friendships by playing pranks on the others, but ultimately they enjoy many adventures.

Ellie shares instructions and diagrams for games such as “Spoons,” “Fing Fang Fooey,” and “Sardines” that are easy to follow and will inspire readers to gather friends and play.
