The volume concludes with Sabine Baring-Gould's authoritative account of the life of the First White Rajah, Sir James Brooke, and a description of the life of the unfortunate and reluctant pirate Harry Glasby.

Book Description
An absorbing fantasy for young adult readers. Feisty heroine Risha becomes the rightful heir to her mother’s kingdom, but is caught between two armies and her own tangled allegiances. Donnel’s Promise is the sequel to Cattra’s Legacy – award-winning YA writer Anna Mackenzie’s stunning young adult novel set in an imaginative medieval world, where Risha discovers she is the rightful heir to the kingdom of Havre. In Donnel’s Promise, Risha takes up her mother’s legacy, and travels to Havre, where she finds a stifling world of court gossip and intrigue, and an entrenched resistance to her involvement in the Duchy’s politics. Missing the freedoms of her former home of LeMarc, she embarks on a tour of western Havre with her mother’s cousin, Ciaran, and the Havrean Captain, Nolan. The party is ambushed, revealing the existence, if not the identity, of a traitor in the city. Risha eludes capture and with the aid of friends Nolan gets to safety, but time is against them as political events stride forward. A coup in Havre puts Risha’s life at risk once more, while a treaty with Westlaw promises war with LeMarc. If she is to save Elgard from civil war Risha must come to terms with Cattra’s legacy and find a way to balance the debts of the past with the price of the future. Muir can help her, if she’ll let him; if he can reach her in time. Risha must decide what matters most: a promise made by her father, or a future of her own choosing.

Book Description
Riveting post-apocalyptic YA fantasy, this is an award-winning thriller you can't put down. Winner of the Honour Award at the 2008 New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards, joint winner of the 2008 Sir Julius Vogel Awards and awarded the prestigious White Raven Award for outstanding children's literature. Ness is imaginative and independent. She questions and seeks meaning in a world that her elders would drain of all variety and joy. She lives on Dunnett Island, where people are in constant fear of all things that come from the sea, having lost many to the ocean’s toxins. They have been toughened by fear, loss and superstition and live a restricted, hard-working life. However, Ness, Ty and Sophie defy orders and explore in a concealed cove, where they discover a body washed ashore; a man who has been shipwrecked. Ness realises that his very existence heralds the possibility that there are other lands, other survivors, and also the possibility that the world’s seas are healing. She undertakes a foolhardy, courageous gamble when she decides to keep the stranger concealed and alive. All too soon, she risks everything, including her own life, to help him escape when her close-minded, ‘witchhunting’ community discovers her secret.

Book Description
They offered up the innocence of a generation . . . Evie is 18, straight out of school and excited by the prospect of a tour of Europe. Instead, she finds herself immersed in war; first in the Home Counties – where the young New Zealander is confronted not only by society’s restrictions and her family’s expectations, but by the burgeoning women’s rights movement – then as a VAD nurse tending injured soldiers in a local hospital. After personal tragedy changes the course of her life, Evie impulsively travels to Belgium, experiencing first-hand the shambolic horrors in a Casualty Clearing Station just 10 km behind the Front Lines. War, at first distant, becomes increasingly personal. When her health gives out, Evie returns to England and a new battle: that of meshing her hard won independence and experience with the still Edwardian attitudes of her family. From where can she find strength for love and the resilience to face the future? A heartbreaking and brilliantly poignant novel. 2016 Storylines Notable Junior Fiction Award

Book Description
The TV series that was never made and that youÕve never heard of celebrates its 40th year with an exhaustive retrospective guide! Growing from a child's game, the bizarrely-titled The Magnet Editor ran for ten years and a breathtaking 47 series. In bringing the series to life, Nick Goodman drew from 70s pop culture including Doctor Who and The New Avengers, and shared it only with his bewildered mother and childhood friends. Jo Bunsell was one such friend and soon the pair would be transported into a shared universe of preposterous Ð and badly designed Ð monsters and non-stop adventure with their extraordinary and strangely-named hero, Cabin Relese. Goodman and Bunsell open up their archive of materials and memories, and take you on a roller-coaster ride into their world! Magnet Memories is an episode guide, a frank, critical, incredulous and nostalgic reflection, a snapshot of childhood in the 70s and 80s... and it's possibly the most wonderfully bonkers cult TV book ever published!
