The Other Side collection
Where the world of humans merges with the supernatural…
When an archaeological dig goes awry, twelve-year-old Ally is flung back in time where she crosses paths with a medieval boy accused of being a changeling – a child of the fairy folk.
Weeks of being surrounded by the medieval dead on an archaeological dig does little to prepare Ally for a spectacular discovery: a boy buried with a wealth of treasure that has the archaeologists as excited as they are confused. Little does Ally know that touching the dead boy’s ring will trigger an adventure through time, in which she must save the boy from an untimely death if she is to return to the present.
Abandoned in the woods on a freezing November night, Alf’s prospects look bleak indeed until Ally takes him under her wing. Aided by peculiar mound-dwellers who call themselves ‘hobs’, the children resolve to find a new home for Alf. To do this, however, they must cross a landscape plagued by fearsome, half-mythical creatures, bandits, and hostile, suspicious folk. Worst of all, their tracks are shadowed ever by the Eldest, an ancient, forgotten god who feeds on the blood of the abandoned…
Changeling is perfect for fans of Alan Garner, Ross Montgomery and Sophie Kirtley.
When twelve-year-old Trix ventures into Smuggler’s Cavern at high tide, little does she expect to meet an eighteenth-century ghost-girl.
Dead for over three hundred years, Maeve Spicer remembers nothing about how she died, only that she is waiting for her older brother, Jacob. As the first person able to see and talk to her, Trix is Maeve’s only hope of seeking the truth, giving Maeve the closure she so desperately needs.
Delving into Maeve’s past is not for the faint-hearted, however, and the children soon learn that a terrible betrayal involving family feuds and scheming pirates lurks behind Maeve’s death.
Meanwhile, Trix discovers that helping Maeve requires breaking more than a few rules, and she’s already in deep trouble as it is. Worse still, keeping Maeve a secret puts her other friendships at risk, not to mention her own life…
The Mystery of Smuggler’s Cavern is perfect for fans of Struan Murray, Iszi Lawrence and Karen Inglis.
Sarah wishes her parents would stop arguing, but making wishes can be a dangerous business – you never know who might be listening.
Eleven-year-old Sarah’s parents won’t stop arguing, and Sarah knows exactly what this means: Mum and Dad are going to split up. Sarah wishes desperately that their Christmas holiday in Mousehole will work its magic and make her parents love each other again. Little does she know that someone nearby loves nothing more than granting wishes.
When mermaid Lowena senses Sarah’s despair from Mousehole harbour, she resolves to make everything better by creating one of her special globes – a globe that contains a whole world in which only joy exists.
There’s just one catch: a surly boy named Ben seems intent on stopping Sarah from being carried away by Lowena’s magic. Only by delving into Ben’s deepest, most secret wishes can Lowena hope to distract him from Sarah’s newly made world, and make life perfect for both of them.
With only each other to depend on, Ben and Sarah must find a way to break free of Lowena’s globe and face the real world, where their parents and the police are desperately searching for them.
Lowena’s Globe is perfect for fans of Ross Montgomery and Sophie Kirtley.

The Raven's Stone
A tale of unlikely friendships that transcend time, set within the rugged splendour of the Isle of Skye, where creatures of legend roam free…
Eleanor is distraught after her parents break up and her dad decides to move to the remote Isle of Skye. When Eleanor visits him for the summer, she gets a nasty surprise: Dad has a new girlfriend, Caroline. To make matters worse, Eleanor has to compete for her father’s attention with Caroline’s daughter, Star, who behaves as if they’re one big happy family.
Eleanor’s heartbreak, jealousy and resentment make her vulnerable to the kelpies – cunning creatures of legend that haunt lochs. With their numbers dwindling, the kelpies seek out humans to transform into one of their own and join them forever in their magical watery world.
But Eleanor isn’t alone. A weird boy, Evan, who dresses like he’s from the 19th-century and speaks a strange language, has taken to following her around. Her new friend, Finola, really seems to hate him, though she won’t tell Eleanor why.
If Eleanor is to save herself from the mysterious allure of the kelpies, she must learn to recognise the danger standing right in front of her. But recognising friend from foe isn’t easy, and Eleanor isn’t the only one under threat. Can she save herself and those she cares about from the kelpies, or will she become one of them?
