  • Nathanial Thatcher The Wish Thieves

    T. C. Chappell

    Paperback (Blue Dot Books, Nov. 5, 2016)
    Ever wonder why life doesn’t always go according to plan? Perhaps you had a big party to go to when you came down with a terrible cold. Or you were up to play quarterback when you twisted your ankle. Or your favorite shirt got a hole in it exactly when you were about to show it off to a friend. You might chalk it up to bad luck, poor timing, or straight up clumsiness. Nathanial Thatcher believed he’d drawn the short straw in life and blamed his weak immune system for keeping him locked up in his sanitized bedroom. It took his twelfth birthday wish to cure him and finally pull the trick off his eyes revealing the true culprits of his situation, and perhaps yours, the sprites! Now Nathanial must take on these wish thieves if he is to keep his health. But how does one boy stand up against a society of sprites who make their living from using humans like factories? His new friend Aliya might know, but Nathanial must rescue her off that pirate ship and let a dagger guide them through enemy filled terrain before they can reach the only sprites sympathetic enough to help them, the wish sprites. The alternative is not acceptable and Nathanial will do whatever it takes to gain control over his own life.

  • Iris

    Toni Owen-Blue, Anja Uhren

    eBook (Blue Books, May 2, 2016)
    'I flinch. I know she's not going to hit me, we've got in arguments a hundred times before and she's raised her hand - she's never hit me in the face. But I flinch anyway.'I put that because whenever you pick up a book at the shop there's always a quote on the back, and because I'm trying to put off writing the blurb. I don't know what to put.This is just a book about me, Iris, and the things that I do, the friends I make, well, try to make, and everything else that happens to me - good, bad and, uh, very bad.That sounds really boring but I promise, it's much more extraordinary. I might seem normal, (well, not normal, a bit weird really), little Iris, but there's so much more to it than that, more than most people can even begin to understand.
