Monster Mountains

By Marcus SedgwickReading Zone October 2012

Published by Orion Children’s Books
ISBN 9781444004861

£6.99

Award-winning author Marcus Sedgwick is writing for younger readers with this series, Elf Girl and Raven Boy.

The heroic (but small) Raven Boy and Elf Girl are on their way to face the Goblin King, who is threatening to destroy their home. They have been chased by a giant, nearly eaten by trolls and biffed by a goat, but now they face their biggest challenge yet. Simon, a wizard, wants to turn them into stone.

Will they manage to outwit Simon? Will they escape the trolls, who still want to eat them? Will they ever stop squabbling long enough to try...?

This story has loads of monsters, a giant rat, lots of magic and some great climbing tricks! Look out for the earlier title, Fright Forest.

Who Could That Be at This Hour?

By Lemony SnicketWho Could That Be at This Hour

Published by Egmont
ISBN  9781405256216

£8.99

Lemony Snicket, who is the narrator of the bestselling A Series of Unfortunate Events, is back with a new series of books. This time, he is giving us an account of his early career as a detective.

Aged just 13, Snicket finds himself in a faded seaside town called Stain’d By the Sea (which isn’t actually by the sea...) and trying to solve the mysterious theft of a statue, the Bominating Beast.

But first he has to work out if the statue has actually been stolen, why anyone would want to steal it (it is, after all, small, brown and ugly), and who is the mysterious Hangfire, who seems very keen to lay his hands on it?

It’s a lot of questions – but are they the right questions, or the wrong questions? And, asks Lemony, is it any business of yours?

Expect to be perplexed, entertained, and full of questions – but don’t expect any answers!
