A magical fairytale which features a fiesty princess who has been cursed with the unfortunate affliction of life without gravity. Can she break the spell before she flouts away?
The story of a girl whose strange life in a mysterious lighthouse is turned upside down when her mother's murder leads her to a hidden door--and a mission into an alternate world.
Hannah Silver has a secret.
She can sense things that other people can't, like the cotton-candy smell of a bad sign, or the weightless touch of an approaching storm.
Or the warm, smooth voices of people who aren't really there.
In the Cliff House, secrets of all kinds float through the air and bounce off the walls. Secrets that have passed from generation to generation--until they suddenly stop. When Hannah finds her mom murdered outside of their lighthouse, she discovers there are secrets even she doesn't know about. Secrets that will take her through a mysterious door--and into an unknown, other world.

Le jeune Vladimir voulait juste faire rire. À l'occasion de la naissance du tout-petit-riquiqui duc Ivan, en l'an de grâce 1720, il avait composé un innocent poème plein de mots en v et de rimes en vlan ! Mais le grand-duc prit la mouche. Pour que plus personne ne reprenne en chœur le poème devenu chanson à succès, le grand-duc eut une idée formidable : interdire tous les mots contenant la lettre v. D'abord sous peine d'amende. Puis d'avoir la langue coupée. Une police spéciale de Répression du v fut créée pour surveil…, non, pour écouter les conversa… heu, les bavarda… oh, zut ! Est-ce encore possible de parler ?

Un matin pendant la classe, Joseph entend de drôles de bruits dans son cartable. Ça fait cratch critch et strompf. Serait-ce une souris ? un rat ? un monstre bizarre qui ne vit que dans les cartables ?
À la récréation, Joseph décide d'en avoir le coeur net. Il emporte son cartable dans un coin à l'abri des regards, et, très courageusement, il l'ouvre. À l'intérieur, ce n'est pas une souris, ni un rat. Ce n'est pas non plus un monstre. C'est sa mère, qui est là, un peu coincée entre le cahier de textes et le cahier de français.
– Maman, qu'est-ce que tu fais là ?
– Je suis venue t'apporter ton goûter. Tu l'avais oublié ce matin en partant.
Non, Joseph n'est pas en train de rêver, et le problème pour lui, c'est que cette histoire ne fait que commencer.
Dans Ma mère est partout, Nathalie Kuperman parle avec humour et autodérision des mamans inquiètes et un brin envahissantes.
CHERUB exists for the simplest of reasons: even a master criminal doesn't suspect that the kid next door is a spy.
When CHERUB uncovers a link between eco-terrorist group Help Earth and a wealthy religious cult known as The Survivors, James Adams is sent to Australia on an infiltration mission.
It's his toughest job so far. The Survivors' outback headquarters are completely isolated, and the cult's brainwashing techniques mean James is under massive pressure to conform.
This time he's not just fighting terrorists. He's got to battle to keep control of his own mind.
CHERUB: DIVINE MADNESS is read by Simon Scardifield.
