'An unsettling, haunting story...memorable, atmospheric and tense' THE LADY 'Well-written, well-crafted and constantly gripping' DAILY MAIL 'A disquieting and atmospheric psychological novel' DAILY EXPRESS 'A grippingly dark thriller...Great writing from a master storyteller' RED MAGAZINE Norman Stokoe has just been appointed Children's Czar by the new government. He sells his flat and moves up north to take up the position. However before his first salary cheque has even hit his bank account, new priorities are set for the government department for which he works. The Children's Czar network is put on hold but it is too late to reverse the decision to employ Norman. So he is given a P.A. and a spacious office in a new business park on the banks of the Tyne. He settles down in his new leather chair behind his new desk, to wait for the green light to begin his mission. The green light never comes. What does happen is that two children go missing. As Children's Czar, surely this case should fall within his remit, but Norman has built a career on doing nothing, on stamping pieces of paper with 'send to the relevant department'. Now, faced with a campaigning journalist and a distraught mother, he is forced to become involved. The search will take him to dark places and will make him ask questions about the system he is supposed to uphold.

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 603
Book Description
The Brueggen Stones: When two brueggen stones are dropped Over Shagger' s dreary rock Gefcla' s evil will be stopped. Lynn' s life isn' t interesting, until she falls on a Chicago sidewalk and sees yellow, orange, and green lights flitting past. The next time she opens her eyes, she' s in a forest that has huge roots coming out of the ground. A man with tennis ball-sized eyes howls at her— and that' s just the beginning. Chell and the other Stalli warriors are on a hopeless series of raids against a ruthless enemy who outnumbers them. Keshua has given them a foretelling rhyme, but they have no idea how to fulfill it, they feel deathly ill anywhere near a brueggen stone. Is Lynn the answer to saving them? And will she realize it in time to help? Under the Golden Mists: “ Help me!” the girl' s voice sobs. It' s only a dream, Lacht tells herself. But what if it isn't? Under Wasso Lake live the Wassandra. The underwater people have abnormally long arms and fingers and aren' t to be trusted— at least that' s what Stalli guide, Crispin, tells Lacht and her family as he takes them to a village on the shores of the lake. Lacht is intrigued; especially when she hears the Wassandra want help to find a missing child. Then dreams of the frightened girl begin troubling her. When they arrive at the golden lake, Lacht thinks it' s the most beautiful place she' s ever seen— until a bizarre discovery terrifies her. “ Help me!” cries the Wassandra girl in one last dream, but can Lacht find the courage to face the horrifying creature she sees in that dream? The Opal Cavern: Curl says she' d rather die than spend the rest of her life trapped under Wasso Lake. What if her wish is coming true? Nineteen-years-old and still longing to see new things, Curl plans an exploration trip with Lynn' s sons, Mindik and Chera. Their goal is to find Tarth' s legendary Opal Cavern. Lacht has recurrent, heavy feelings that her Wassandra friend shouldn' t go, but nobody listens and the team leaves. Then Wave learns something from an old Wassandra diary that can mean life or death for Curl. A rescue team rushes off but they don' t know how long it will take to find her. They do know that if they don' t find her soon, time will run out before they can get her back. The Stone Walkers: One of the boulders moved. Slowly, impossibly, it stood upright. A grating sound came from it, and the other boulder slowly moved upward. For a long time, the boulders stood next to each other, motionless. Finally, as if hearing a cue only they could hear, they moved forward out of the small chamber. The Stone Walkers were walking again.

Shine Bright

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
American pop music is arguably this country’s greatest cultural contribution to the world, and its singular voice and virtuosity were created by a shining thread of Black women geniuses stretching back to the country’s founding. This is their surprising, heartbreaking, soaring story—from “one of the generation’s greatest, most insightful, most nuanced writers in pop culture” (Shea Serrano) “Sparkling . . . the overdue singing of a Black girl’s song, with perfect pitch . . . delicious to read.”—Oprah Daily ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, The Root, Variety, Esquire, The Guardian, Newsweek, Pitchfork, She Reads, Publishers Weekly SHORTLISTED FOR THE PORCHLIGHT BUSINESS BOOK AWARD A weave of biography, criticism, and memoir, Shine Bright is Danyel Smith’s intimate history of Black women’s music as the foundational story of American pop. Smith has been writing this history for more than five years. But as a music fan, and then as an essayist, editor (Vibe, Billboard), and podcast host (Black Girl Songbook), she has been living this history since she was a latchkey kid listening to “Midnight Train to Georgia” on the family stereo. Smith’s detailed narrative begins with Phillis Wheatley, an enslaved woman who sang her poems, and continues through the stories of Mahalia Jackson, Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, and Mariah Carey, as well as the under-considered careers of Marilyn McCoo, Deniece Williams, and Jody Watley. Shine Bright is an overdue paean to musical masters whose true stories and genius have been hidden in plain sight—and the book Danyel Smith was born to write.
