Hi!
Some new books from some of your favourite series have just arrived:
Oath Breaker by Michelle Paver (from the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness). “Torak circled the fire and Thiazzi came after him: slowly, cracking his whip, playing with his prey as a lynz plays with a lemming. Torak was exhausted. He wasn’t going to last much longer.” (Book cover) Sounds like edge of your seat stuff! You’d better read it to find out what happens to Torak.
The Second Siege by Henry H Neff (Book 2 of The Tapestry). “Grave forces are converging to seize control of the Book of Thoth, a hidden artefact whose pages hold the key to creating – or unravelling – the very threads of existence.” (Book cover) If you’re into Harry Potter-type stories you should give The Tapestry a go!
Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke (the conclusion to the Inkheart trilogy). “‘Go back and rid the world of that book. Fill it with words before spring comes, or winter will never end for you. And I will take not only your life for the Adderhead’s but your daughter’s, too, because she helped you bind the book. Do you understand, Bluejay?’ ‘Why two?’ asked Mo hoarsely. ‘How can you ask for two lives in return for one?'” (Book cover). Cornelia Funke fans will be totally excited to see that Inkdeath is available for lending! If you are a fan, check out her website: www.corneliafunkefans.com.
Charlie Bone and the Shadow of Badlock by Jenny Nimmo. “Charlie’s ancestor Otus the giant is in trouble – imprisoned by the evit Count Harken in Badlock and guarded by a troll army. Charlie is sucked into a painting of Badlock to rescue him. Back at school, there is a terrible battle between two of the endowed. Only one will walk away…” (Book cover). Again, if you love Charlie Bone visit the website at www.charlie-bone.com.
By Royal Command by Charlie Higson (Young Bond series). This is the fifth book in the Young Bond series, following James Bond during his school years at Eton College in England. Since 007 is so into gadgets, it’s no surprise that he has a cool website: www.youngbond.com.
