THE STICKY WITCH

Tom and Ellie (and Whiskers the Cat) have to go and live with Aunt Tab. That's bad. Everything in her house is sticky with treacle. That's worse. (And really yucky.) Then they find out she's a witch. Will Tom and Ellie come to a sticky end?

 

 

SWOP!

Emily loves swops - she even swops her grandmother for a donkey! But can her swaps help her and her brother escape from their wicked old Aunty Bess! A charming and funny story.

 

AMAZING

Peter is the boring one. His family is dull, he never has exciting adventures. Even his ghost is hardly scary at all. A laugh-out-loud comedy staring the Quiet One (for once).

 

DRAGON!

When Max leaves his room in a mess, his aunt flies off in a rage ... and on a broomstick! Max is left on his own ... well except for the dragon's egg which is about to hatch ... Warm, funny and magical.
