Summary

In "The Book of Stars: Being a Simple Explanation of the Stars and Their Uses to Boy Life," A. Frederick Collins delves into the celestial realm with an engaging and accessible style aimed particularly at young readers. Collins enriches his text with vivid illustrations and relatable anecdotes, making complex astronomical concepts approachable for boys seeking adventure and knowledge. The book exists within the broader context of early 20th-century educational literature, which sought to cultivate a sense of wonder about the natural world while promoting scientific literacy among youth. The seamless blend of informative content and narrative charm underscores Collins'Äô commitment to making astronomy both informative and enjoyable. A. Frederick Collins, an educator and naturalist, was deeply passionate about instilling curiosity in young minds. His extensive background in teaching and love for the night sky inspired him to write this book as an invitation for boys to explore astronomy as part of their outdoor experiences. Collins believed that by understanding the stars and their significance, children would develop a lifelong connection to nature and science. I highly recommend "The Book of Stars" not only for its educational value but also for its ability to inspire wonder in the cosmos. It serves as an excellent resource for young aspiring astronomers and an engaging tool for parents and educators eager to instill a profound appreciation for the universe in their children.

    'Spookily spellbinding - gripped me with an icy finger from the first page' - Catherine Bruton
    Don't open the box, warned the old man.
    But Charlie can't help himself...
    Fourteen-year-old London schoolboy Charlie has been looking forward to playing football with his mates in the Christmas holidays. Instead, he is packed off to the wilds of the East Anglian coast to stay with an uncle he barely knows.
    It's going to be a tough week. Uncle Patrick's ramshackle house doesn't have wi-fi, his daughter Ariel seems determined to be vile – and who are the mysterious children laughing after dark in the empty bedroom next to Charlie's?
    When Charlie finds an ancient brass box buried on the beach, he unleashes a chilling sequence of events. At least these bring him and his grumpy cousin together, as the pair battle to solve the mystery of the 'box of souls' and re-capture the violent ghostly presence wreaking havoc around the town.
    A stirring spine-chiller, Ghost Tide is a spooky, unforgettable tale of restless spirits and youthful heroism.
