Alice and the Witches of Babizar

by Myra Lyng

Alice Taylor is not happy. Her parents are jaunting off to India on some posh scientific trip, leaving Alice with her prissy Aunt Margaret and spoiled brat of a cousin, Rebecca. But then things go from bad to weird... a menacing crow starts lurking around the house... the Taylors' plane goes missing...

A decidedly witch-like character pops up in the middle of suburbia, promising to find Alice's parents - in return for her cherished Chensi necklace. Alice sets off on a surprising and sometimes dangerous adventure, meeting an eclectic and hilarious cast of supernatural characters who could give even witches a bad name!

Aimed at 10-16 year olds, this story is brilliantly written from the perspective of Alice Taylor - a moody teenager who speaks her mind. Alice Taylor is Lara Croft aged fourteen.

Brown Jade

by Yong Pease

A story of hope which unravels gently.
Life in 1950's Malaya for 13-year-old Lau Li Jen was unkind and harsh. With an ailing mother and three younger siblings to care for, responsibility weighed heavily on Jen's shoulders. It seemed she would have to sacrifice her one opportunity that education could give her in order to keep her family alive.

Jen is spirited and intelligent, and boldly faces the challenges life has thrown at her.

Ideal for 11-16 years, but anyone will enjoy this evocative and inspirational story.
