Callum and the Mountain by Alan McClure Pdf

It’s a quiet wee village, Skerrils. Not much going on. Shingle beach, pretty walks, peaceful library, exploding school, talking dogs, carnivorous monuments, interfering all-powerful nature spirits and a mountainous secret too baffling to tell… Callum Maxwell and his pals are in for the strangest, scariest, most exciting summer of their lives. Join them and you’ll never look at the natural world in quite the same way again. “A totally original story with genuine heart.” —Karen Campbell, author of The Sound of the Hours, Rise and This is Where I Am “Alan McClure’s Callum and the Mountain introduces a fresh voice, full of energy, humour and love of place. He writes with a performer’s instincts and an exuberant joy in language—an author we will be seeing more of.” —Joan Lennon, author of Silver Skin (shortlisted for the Scottish Teenage Book Prize) and Walking Mountain “We’re listening to a born storyteller, and he’s unpacking a great shaggy monster of a tale for us.” —Paul Magrs, author of Strange Boy, Lost on Mars and The Novel Inside You

Callum and The Other by Alan McClure Pdf

Change has come to the village of Skerrils, and fourteen-year-old Callum is struggling to adjust. Important people have moved on; others have arrived. Even the Mountain, once the scene of an epic adventure for Callum and his friends, has vanished in the October mist. But its power cannot stay hidden for long, for in that mist lurks a terrifying new presence that wishes to destroy all that Callum has ever fought for. This presence is known only as ‘The Other’, and it will take alliances old and new to reconnect Callum with past magic if he is to stop it before everything is lost. *** “This has a wonderful, otherworldly atmosphere – like a fantastic film on a bank holiday afternoon. That’s how it feels to me. So much fantasy is nihilistic and dark, but this is delightful.” —Paul Magrs, author of Strange Boy, Lost on Mars and The Novel Inside You “McClure had me from the first four words! This is a story about change and loneliness and how we connect. What it is to be human. McClure has filled this sequel with the same vivid, vibrant, sometimes uncanny sense of place – a story for our strange and difficult times.” —Joan Lennon, most recently co-author with Joan Haig of Talking History: 150 years of world-changing speeches “Much anticipated, Callum and The Other doesn’t disappoint. Dare I say, this is the author’s best yet – it brims with the intrigue, lyricism and light humour now characteristic of Alan McClure’s novels. My kids and I want more!” —Joan Haig, author of Tiger Skin Rug

A small town that will never be the same. A lion shifter who will never give up on the woman meant to be his soul mate. A human woman looking for the courage to love again. Unbeknownst to the residents of Mystery, Alaska, their town is home to a small Tribe of shifters. Connie and Aarav both work out of the sheriff’s department, but the last thing Connie wants is to give him false hope that she could ever be in a relationship with him.

But when two teens from the town get lost on the mountain, Aarav and Connie must work together to find them before it’s too late. The trail leads them higher and higher. A fast-approaching blizzard brings the human search and rescue to a screeching halt. Now it will take a supernatural miracle to find them. Unwilling to let the children die from exposure, the Tribe will risk exposing their secret to save the missing teens. And that sacrifice may cost them their home and their freedom.

The Caretakers by William C O'Brien Pdf

War, famine, disease; just a few of the many evils with which we share our world and daily lives but never aware that they exist as physical forms, escaped from the prison world of Exilia. The key to Exilia, lost since before recorded history, has now been found. The entrance to the prison world has been discovered, and the story told to the children by the last of the caretakers is just the beginning of what will become a quest of daring, confrontation, humour and spine tingling terror. The world has been waiting for millennia for the key to be found, for the long awaited moment to arrive when the defenders of good would be freed from their own imprisonment to continue their fight against the evils. But in order to so, Gabby and the brothers must first enter the world of Exilia and fulfil their quest. Guided by the map on the key they must travel through a world where time itself doesn’t exist, where the extraordinary is the ordinary, the unbelievable is the believable, and nightmares are a reality. The creatures of evil must be confronted, battled or avoided. A future of peace and tranquillity, or pain and suffering, will depend on either success or failure. But can their quest be fulfilled - can they succeed?

She Would Be King by Wayétu Moore Pdf

A novel of exhilarating range, magical realism, and history—a dazzling retelling of Liberia’s formation Wayétu Moore’s powerful debut novel, She Would Be King, reimagines the dramatic story of Liberia’s early years through three unforgettable characters who share an uncommon bond. Gbessa, exiled from the West African village of Lai, is starved, bitten by a viper, and left for dead, but still she survives. June Dey, raised on a plantation in Virginia, hides his unusual strength until a confrontation with the overseer forces him to flee. Norman Aragon, the child of a white British colonizer and a Maroon slave from Jamaica, can fade from sight when the earth calls him. When the three meet in the settlement of Monrovia, their gifts help them salvage the tense relationship between the African American settlers and the indigenous tribes, as a new nation forms around them. Moore’s intermingling of history and magical realism finds voice not just in these three characters but also in the fleeting spirit of the wind, who embodies an ancient wisdom. “If she was not a woman,” the wind says of Gbessa, “she would be king.” In this vibrant story of the African diaspora, Moore, a talented storyteller and a daring writer, illuminates with radiant and exacting prose the tumultuous roots of a country inextricably bound to the United States. She Would Be King is a novel of profound depth set against a vast canvas and a transcendent debut from a major new author.
