Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Melinda Hutton is a normal ten-year-old whose life is ordinary, even boring, until the day she turns into a horse. She and her older brother Felix are baffled when their parents reveal that their family belongs to an ancient race of shape-shifters call Athenites, who have the power to transform into any animal they wish. Her parents have dedicated their lives to proving that Athenites and humans once lived together in harmony, but their dreams of peace are about to be shattered. When the brilliant but evil Professor Stumpworthy sends Felix into a coma and makes their father vanish, Melinda must take matters into her own hands to save the family, her friends, and her whole race of magical beings. Luckily, her pet rabbit Aesop is there to help, and he is much more than he appears. Siblings Melinda and Felix Hutton learn they have inherited the talent of metamorphosis. Ten-year-old Melinda embraces her Athenite heritage, but her older brother Felix doesn't. Wishing he were normal, Felix resents becoming parts of the myths and fables he's read. But there's a threat rising just as the children are learning of their talents. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Three o'clock and all is not well. Sleep has abandoned him again. He sits bolt upright in his bed, panic rising from his stomach like bile. In the past eight months he has crossed oceans and whole continents from Bombay to London, New York, Vancouver, Yokohama, and halfway back and now, dislocated by the darkness and the hour and the jumbled swirl of distances he's come, he does not know where he is". With this beginning, Victoria Vinton transports us to the summer of 1892 when twenty-six-year-old Rudyard Kipling arrives in Vermont with little money, a pregnant wife, and the beginning of "The Jungle Book" bubbling in his mind. Having fled the scrutiny of London's literary high life and hoping to escape the wounds of his troubled past, he sets to work on his new story, eventually introducing his young neighbour, Joe, to Mowgli, Shere Khan and Baloo. And as Kipling's tales take root in Joe's mind, the child is able to free himself from the confines of his dismal life through the powerful and unsettling influence of the imagination.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When a severed leg is found on the banks of the Thames, Dr George Barnabas, female forensic pathologist and determined investigator, is summoned to the macabre scene. But with no sign of the rest of the body, she cannot say how the man died. Her next case is equally bizarre: a terribly burned woman in a first-floor flat -- and the fireman thinks the fire started in the body itself. George, despite budget battles with the hospital boards and squabbles among her lab staff, desperately wants to pursue these with the local Detective Chief Inspector -- her lover, Gus Hathaway -- but he has been so tied up on another big case that she has barely seen him for a month. George has to surpress a guilty flash of relief that he must surely return to his own patch now and run the investigation. But he does not, and his deputy wont let her near the case. George, frustrated but feisty as ever, can only puzzle: is the arson victim linked to the missing body? Only when Gus himself gets into trouble can she at last begin to delve on his behalf. Soon she is on the trail of a crime more tortuous and criminals more dangerous than either she or Gus bargained for.This is the third of Claire Rayner's much praised mysteries featuring George Barnabas, now established as an exciting and engaging series from a master storyteller. The drama of life in hospital is interwoven with life on the streets and life on the beat in a tale that is compulsively clever and entirely readable. When a severed leg is found on the banks of the Thames, Dr George Barnabas, female forensic pathologist and determined investigator, is summoned to the macabre scene. But with no sign of the rest of the body, she cannot say how the man died. Her next case is equally bizarre.

He has a wife who wants things he can't give, an editor who wants a book he can't deliver, a brother-in-law with a gut disease that he can't fix, and dead parents who stubbornly remain dead. As the structure of Yuvi's novel falls apart, so does his life. His novel and his life blend together as he struggles to pull out of the mess. He revisits the fragments of his unreconciled past and his pants-less present, travelling from his suburban Jewish home in Atlanta to the North Carolina mountains of his father's childhood, to several hospital waiting rooms, to the living room of a grieving Palestinian man. Heartbreaking and hilarious, "A Brilliant Novel in the Works" is the utterly original debut novel from Yuvi Zalkow.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When ostracized daughter Agnes Clayton, now middle-aged and alone, returns to the wilds of the Northwest after a life in various western cities, she is determined to make moving her father out of their family home in War Creek as quick and painless as possible. Reconnecting with her estranged father, a retired ranger, proves difficult at best, and extracting him from his fiercely beloved ranger station seems impossible. Over the course of a long summer she becomes entangled with opposing forces in the isolated rural community in the Cascade Mountains. Agnes hopes to answer questions from her past and find not only closure but redemption. War Creek exposes the dark secrets that lurk in every family. Set in stunningly harsh yet beautiful wilderness, the novel bridges past and present to reveal the hidden truths Agnes so desperately seeks. Susan Marsh's debut novel poignantly explores family dynamics riddled with guilt, grudges, and half-truths.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The lives of three generations of women intertwine in the Scottish stone cottage of Agatha, a spinster aunt with more than a helping of spunk. For Agatha's niece Margaret, born in the States but with her own secret connection to the cottage, packing her resentful daughter Hope off to Scotland the summer after her parents have split seems like the cleanest solution to the kind of messy emotions Margaret hates. Margaret spends her summer finding out who she is other than a wife and mother and she likes it. Hope has to reinvent herself and her vision of her dad, tricky seas to navigate even without trying to figure out how to eat a bannock and remember which way to look when skateboarding across the road. And gentle Aunt Agatha wonders what would have happened if she'd made room in her life for romance and adventure, instead of just for family. Told from the perspective of each woman, The Thorn Tree weaves together the complexities of love and life for each generation, and shows the strength of family ties.
