Book Description
For 13-year-old Jack, things are going from bad to worse to horrible. First, his parents go missing and he is forced to move across the country away from everything and everyone he knows. And just as he makes a new friend, the two of them fall through a crack in the earth into a below-ground alien world full of Inner Terrestrials, or ITs for short. Stuck below ground and confined, Jack is schooled about the ITs: their history (they came here thousands of years ago); their real name (the Bennots); their former planet (Helios V); and their mortal enemy (the Malzoyans). The ITs/Bennots keep him alive, but he’s got to be watched. And who's going to watch him? A human girl, Jen, brought down to the ITs’ world as a toddler. A bit hairy and a lot smelly, Jen knows little about humans. The good news is that Jack is finally allowed out to see the Bennot world, which is full of things that don't seem possible underground: huge lakes, factories, green farms, sunlit skies, and a bustling city. And unbelievable dangers. And, as it turns out, a hidden cyborg army called the Gireens, copies of Earth’s fiercest soldiers from the ages. The problem is, they have never been tested or used. But now, the megalomaniac Malzoyans have found the Bennots, and, speeding toward Earth from the dying Helios V, they intend to exterminate all that remain. Oh yeah, along with everyone else on the planet. Can Jack and Jen unlock the cyborg army and save themselves, the Bennots…and humanity…from extinction?

Book Description
Salena, the elder of two Cape sisters, is light-skinned and demure, an easy one to marry off to a husband of her parents’ choosing. Zuhra is dark and wilful, refusing tradition and leaving the country in pursuit of her own destiny. 'The shoots of their lives grow apart and interlace again. Salena finds herself in a repressed marriage much like her mother’s. Zuhra comes to suspect grim undercurrents to both their lives, which she expresses by retelling familiar fairytales, often hilariously, in a Muslim framework. 'But this is not a fairytale. The dark forest is real, and so are its secrets.

Book Description
This is a golden treasury of over one hundred English folktales captured in the form they were first collected in past centuries. Read these classic tales as they would have been told when storytelling was a living art – when the audience believed in boggarts and hobgoblins, local witches and will-o’-the-wisps, ghosts and giants, cunning foxes and royal frogs. Find “Jack the Giantkiller”, “Tom Tit Tot” and other quintessentially English favourites, alongside interesting borrowings, such as an English version of the Grimms’ “Little Snow White” – as well as bedtime frighteners, including “Captain Murderer”, as told to Charles Dickens by his childhood nurse. Neil Philip has provided a full introduction and source notes on each story that illustrate each tale’s journey from mouth to page, and what has happened to them on the way. These tales rank among the finest English short stories of all time in their richness of metaphor and plot and their great verbal dash and daring.
