Books with author B.J. Harrison

Each of the titles in this series, which has been produced in association with Save the Children UK, looks at the impact of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child on aspects of children's lives around the world. The books explore key issues affecting real-life children, such as their right to an education, self-expression, healthcare and a safe place to live. Each title includes first-hand accounts of the children's own experience and shows how, with the help of Save the Children projects, they are turning rights into realities. This title looks at the right of all children to have a good home, whether they are orphaned or poor or have to work for a living, whether they are caught up in war or are living on the streets. It examines the obstacles that children sometimes have to overcome to achieve this right.

While on a gambling trip to the casino on the planet Cassylia, he is challenged by a man named Kerk Pyrrus (who turns out to be the ambassador from the planet Pyrrus) to turn a large amount of money into an immense sum by gambling at a government-run casino. Some planet in the galaxy must -- by definition -- be the toughest, meanest, nastiest of all. If Pyrrus wasn't it . . . it was an awfully good approximation!

The planet was called Pyrrus...a strange place where all the beasts, plants and natural elements were designed for one specific purpose: to destroy man. The settlers there were supermen...twice as strong as ordinary men and with milli-second reflexes. They had to be. For their business was murder... It was up to Jason dinAlt, interplanetary gambler, to discover why Pyrrus had become so hostile during man's brief habitation...
