The Stolen Prince of Cloudburst (#3 Bronte Mettlestone) by Jaclyn Moriarty

$22.99 AUD

Available Stock:

Category: Middle Fiction | Series: Bronte Mettlestone / Kingdoms and Empires

A magical tale of mystery and adventure that proves that sometimes even ordinary middle children can be heroes, from the bestselling author of The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte Mettlestone and the award-winning The Slightly Alarming Tale of the Whispering Wars. Long ago, the little Prince of Cloudburst was stolen from the seashore by a Water Sprite. Now, ten years later, the prince has found his way home. The King and Queen are planning the biggest party in their Kingdom's history to welcome him. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Kingdoms and Empires, Esther Mettlestone-Staranise is looking forward to another year at Katherine Valley Boarding School. But she arrives to find a number of strange and unsettling changes. For one, her new teacher is rumoured to be an Ogre. Two mysterious students have joined the school, and one of Esther's classmates is an undercover Spellbinder. Most disturbingly, the mountains surrounding the school - usually a delight of glaciers, teashops, lakes and Faeries - are now crowded with wicked Shadow Mages. As secrets and dangers escalate, Esther must find the answers to several puzzles. Why is her teacher behaving so oddly? Which of Esther's classmates is the Spellbinder, and can they really protect the school from gathering hordes of Shadow Mages? Could the Stolen Prince of Cloudburst be connected? How can Esther - who is not talented like her sisters, nor an adventurer like her cousin, but just Esther - save her family, her school and possibly her entire world? ...Show more

Loner by Georgina Young

$24.99 AUD

Available Stock:
3

Category: YA Fiction

Staff notes: Loner is a book about drifting. About having been good at school and seemingly destined for great things but, once thrust into the structureless maelstrom of the adult world, simply... stalling. Stalling, and waiting, and doing not much of anything except feeling a lot of things. And then m aybe watching some TV. In the hands of a less skilled writer this could make for a dull and self-indulgent novel, but, mercifully, Loner is anything but. In short: it's good. It's really, really good. And it rings so true. Readers approaching the cliff-face of young adulthood will, I believe, take great comfort in this book, and readers who've doggy-paddled to the other side will recognise themselves at that achingly uncomfortable time of their lives. Georgina Young is also super funny. Trust us, you'll love it.  Set in Melbourne, Loner is a humorous and heartfelt exploration of new adulthood. Lona kills her days by sneaking into the dark room at her old art school to develop photographs. She kills her nights DJ-ing the roller disco at Planet Skate. She is in inexplicably, debilitatingly love with a bespectacled Doctor Who-obsessed former classmate, and in comfortable, platonic love with her best friend Tab. Lona works hard to portray a permanent attitude of cynicism and ennui but will her carefully constructed persona be enough to protect her from the inevitable sorrows and unexpected joys of adult life? Loner re-examines notions of social isolation experienced by young people, suggesting sometimes our own company can be a choice and not a failing. Read it? We also recommend It Sounded Better in My Head by Nina Kenwood and The Long-Distance Playlist by Tara Eglington. ...Show more
