How can a boy outwit a king?
King Henry must have an heir. That means he must have a new wife. And for that he needs the backing of the Church. But the king is prepared to do without their support and will defy the Pope. Even St Thomas Becket, lying buried in Canterbury cathedral for over three hundred years, must be removed. And anyone who tries to stand in the king’s way will pay a terrible price.
Harry must save the saint’s remains from being destroyed – but how? And what about his father, in the king’s jail in Southwark?
A spellbinding tale of a young boy’s determination and courage.
Excerpts from Harry Bone Thief

=========================================
Why do they keep wanting to kill me?
How can I make them stop?
Young Krenn lives in the West Country.
Her name means ‘doesn’t belong’
and true enough, she was found abandoned
as a baby. Now the time has come for the tribe who adopted her to send her away,
eastwards where the great temples are,
to find her own people. It will be a long,
hard journey and she must set off alone.
Excerpts from The Road to Stonehenge
‘A powerful book that holds the attention and entertains. The reader is swept along, lost in it all’
MICHAEL MORPURGO
‘A hard journey for Krenn and a big adventure …a great book to read because as soon as you start reading you can’t stop.’
