In the old market town of Chesterfield stood a magic cottage with an enchanted garden, here lived Wendela the good witch. Her medicines and potions had helped heal generations of locals; in nearly every home one of her good luck charms could be seen in a place of prominence.Then the corrupt, power hungry vicar, John Thorn comes to town and desires Wendela's land to build his church. When she refuses to give it up he sets out to destroy her, and convinces the townsfolk that she is evil and to blame for the Black Death that has killed half the population. Wendela is burned at the stake, but with her last breath she puts a curse on John Thorn and the land that he is now free to build his church upon.On the church opening day a bolt of lightning hits the spire making it crooked and twisted and sending souls to the dark side of the moon - instead of heaven - to be enslaved by moon wraiths. This continues for hundreds of years.One area of good magic remains, on the spot where Wendela's enchanted garden once grew. It's here in the present day that toys (used for a nursery and Sunday school) come to life. One is Todsy the mouse who learns of the curse and sets out to break it.'Spellbinding' - Derbyshire TimesFrom the author of If the Kids are Unitedwww.manutdbooks.com

Succumb to one churchman's apocalyptic vision in this prophetic tale by the radical Nobel Laureate and author of Lord of the Flies, William Golding (recorded by Benedict Cumberbatch as an audiobook). There were three sorts of people. Those who ran, those who stayed, and those who were built in. Dean Jocelin has a vision: that God has chosen him to erect a great spire. His master builder fearfully advises against it, for the old cathedral was miraculously built without foundations. But Jocelin is obsessed with fashioning his prayer in stone. As his halo of hair grows wilder and his dark angel darker, the spire rises octagon upon octagon, pinnacle by pinnacle, watched over by the gargoyles - until the stone pillars shriek, the earth beneath creeps, and the spire's shadow falls like an axe on the medieval world below ... 'Astounding ... So recklessly beautiful, so sad and so strange ... Holds such a place in my soul that it's more or less a sacred text.' Sarah Perry 'A kind of miracle ... Genius.' Guardian ' Quite simply, a marvel.' NYRB ' Superb ... A classic.' Rebecca West 'A master fabulist .. An iconoclast.' John Fowles 'A visionary ... His masterwork [of] faith, folly and desperate desire ... Golding at his best.' Benjamin Myers

Download The Love Curse of the Rumbaughs Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
On an unseasonably warm Easter Sunday, a young girl named Ivy discovers a chilling secret in the basement of the Rumbaugh pharmacy across the street from the hotel where she lives with her mother. The discovery reveals a disturbing side to the eccentric lives of family friends Abner and Adolph Rumbaugh, known throughout their small western Pennsylvania town simply as the Twins. It seems that Ab and Dolph have been compelled by a powerful mutual love for their deceased mother to do something extraordinary, something that in its own twisted way bridges the gap between the living and the dead. Immediately, Ivy's discovery provokes the revelation of a Rumbaugh family curse, a curse that, as Ivy will learn over the coming years, holds a strange power over herself and her own mother. In his third book for young adults, Jack Gantos has scripted a completely original drama. With gothic flavor and black humor, he depicts a group of people bound together by love, compulsion . . . and a passion for taxidermy.

The third novel in the dark and sexy Imnada Brotherhood series about shape shifters in Regency-era England. Will their desire conquer evil ’s wrath? Major Gray de Coursy, Earl of Halvossa and exiled heir to the five clans of the Imnada shapechangers, must regain his throne in order to save his people from a deadly war with the Feybloods. First, however, he must break the curse he has lived under since the final chaos of Waterloo. Desperate, he resolves to steal the Imnada’s most sacred relic—the mysterious crystal of Jai Idrish—to help him. When he receives a visit from his childhood companion Meeryn Munro, Gray is surprised by her offer of help . . . and by how the girl of his memories has grown to become the woman of his dreams. None of Meeryn’s powers as anointed keeper of Jai Idrish have prepared her for the threat of battle, but it’s the passion Gray arouses in her that she finds herself fighting. In a perilous quest spanning two realms, Gray and Meeryn must outwit and outrun a cunning enemy. And only the strength of the warrior, the magic of the priestess, and a love greater than death can reclaim a crown and win them a future together.
