  • Winter Tales

    Templar Publishing Winter Tales

    Book SynopsisA treasury of stories celebrating the wonders of winter, and the qualities within that warm our hearts through the long cold. This stunning book brings together a selection of wintery tales from all over the world - from North America to Siberia, Scotland, France, Russia and Norway. Written by award-winning author Dawn Casey and with beautifully detailed artwork by illustrator Zanna Goldhawk, this is a magical book to be treasured for generations to come.Trade ReviewGorgeous illustrations make this a book something very special indeed * iNews *Perfect for fireside storytelling, these tales of icy witches and snowy mountains will have you pining for colder weather. Ultimate hygge. * The Green Parent *Another beautiful book; this time one that will appeal to both young and old alike - "Winter Tales" - written by Dawn Casey and illustrated by Zanna Goldhawk.Winter Tales is a collection of tales from around the world - not just any old tales, but truly mesmerising old folk tales. None of the tales are particularly long, thus maintaining the attention of a much younger audience and the illustrations are utterly captivating.Each tale begins with an introductory paragraph about which country it comes from and a brief description to help you set the scene. There are some very traditional tales, such as The Nutcracker and The Snow Queen, and then there are lesser known tales (to us here in the UK) with equivalent magical properties. I think my favourite must be The Mitten - a Ukrainian folk tale. I love it's poetic style. My children, who are aged from 7 to 12 have loved sitting and listening to some of these tales at bedtime and reading them has already given us a very wintery, Christmassy feeling inside.A beautiful gift to share with a child, which will last forever. Available to buy online or from any good booksellers. RRP: £15.99 * Review Studio UK *

  • The Five Clues (Don't Doubt The Rainbow 1)

    Crown House Publishing The Five Clues (Don't Doubt The Rainbow 1)

    Book SynopsisThe first book in the series, The Five Clues, is a real-time murder-mystery thriller and family drama, combining an exciting race against time with a heart-rending story about a teenager learning to live with the loss of a beloved parent. Walking back from her mother's grave, 13-year-old schoolgirl Edie Marble finds a note in a pocket of the sheepskin coat that she hasn't worn since the day, a year earlier, when she received the awful news of her mother's death. The note is from her mother, who had been looking into a corporate human rights violation and had become fearful for her life after receiving death threats. She trusts only Edie - because of their special bond and Edie's intelligence - and has laid a trail of clues for Edie to find that will help her to shed light on the violation and uncover the mystery around her death. Through her wit and determination, Edie steadily gathers evidence and negotiates the dramatic twists and turns of the story by collaborating with her friends and family to gradually unearth a sinister attempt by a pharmaceutical company to conceal their illegal development of a lethal virus. As Edie's investigations progress she is introduced, in parallel, to the Three Principles, which help her conquer various psychological stresses and support her in coming to terms with her grief. Reading age 11+Trade ReviewThe Five Clues is a compelling, page-turning mystery centred around Edie Marble's pursuit of the truth behind the death of her mother.In uncovering the secrets and lies surrounding her mother's death, Edie exposes the corrupt underbelly of society and discovers the deep mysteries of her own grieving mind.Written with professional insight into well-being and the mental health impacts of grief, this is a murder mystery to open hearts and minds.Brimming with emotional intelligence and determination to fight injustice, Edie Marble is the lie-busting heroine we need now more than ever!Sita BrahmachariThe Five Clues is a brilliant book which covers topics such as truth, integrity, commercial greed and exploitation in an easy-to-understand way for young people.I really enjoyed the story, reading it in one day, and will be recommending it to the pupils in my school.Wendy FloodI enjoyed this book. It is well written with good character development, relatable characters and relatable moments that dealt with very raw emotions in a beautiful way. I read it quickly and could not put the book down. I would definitely recommend it.Kirsty LockThis teen mystery is full of adventure and action. I love how the story evolves around the five different clues and how Edie and the people around her gradually work together to solve the mystery. The story keeps you guessing and I couldn't put it down at all. I cannot wait for book 2!Sissi ReadsBrilliantly written and unputdownable, The Five Clues is a great read which illustrates the virtue of resilience and the psychological teachings of the Three Principles through a gripping story.Set against a backdrop of adversity and anxieties, Edie Marble navigates her way through a complex world. She faces up to challenges with an ineffable quality - and, rather than letting the situation overcome her, she finds ways to rise up and better herself.I loved the story, characters and concepts, and I know that my 13-year-old son will love Edie's strong character and dedication to a cause. I can't wait for the next book in the series.Sammy Margo
