Enemies

"In Enemies, Marian Isabel Hurrell crafts a tender, thoughtful children’s novel that explores the complexities of conflict, pride, and reconciliation through the innocent lens of childhood. Set in early 20th-century England, the story centers around the Rose family—Mrs. Rose and her four children: Hugh, Frank, Ronald, and Elsie—as they adjust to a life shaped by estrangement from their grandfather, Sir Matthew Rose. When their more privileged cousins, the Wilfrid Roses, move in next door, tensions rise, and a spirited rivalry begins. Dubbed the 'Wars of the Roses,' the children's playful battles soon take on deeper emotional weight. As the two families clash, the children confront their own assumptions, loyalties, and longing for connection. Through moments of mischief, misunderstanding, and gentle revelations, they learn that love, forgiveness, and empathy can heal even the most stubborn rifts. Perfect for listeners of classic children’s literature, Enemies is a heartwarming tale about bridging divides and the quiet heroism of learning to make peace."

ESSA High: Sophie and Brave

"Sophie wakes up on the first day of high school, dreading what’s to come. She’s spent all her schooling being bullied and made to feel like an outcast because of her anxiety—and because of her Emotional Support Stuffed Animal (ESSA), a Border Collie called Brave. Little does she know, as her mum drives her to her new school, that she’s going to ESSA High. For the first time in her life, she makes friends—best friends, even! She starts to look forward to going to school, all because her needs are finally being accommodated. When a school-wide competition for fundraising ideas comes up, she’s excited to team up with her two new best friends, Lacey and Jazzy, to pitch a book starring her ESSA. Will Sophie and her new friends win the competition? 'It’s hard when your brain works differently. I’m autistic and have ADHD and anxiety. Sometimes, I find it hard to use my words verbally and understand what others are saying to me. When I get overwhelmed and anxious, I can have panic attacks. My heart starts racing, my stomach hurts, and I start to feel sick. My body goes weak, and I feel like I am going to pass out. It’s a horrible feeling, so I avoid situations that make me anxious as much as possible.' Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.
