  A bearded ballerina, a young contortionist and a troupe of creepy clowns ...
  
  It's the end of summer when a weird carnival rolls into town. Grace and her five magic friends make the most of it. But the gaudy lights and colours hide a dark secret. And when the girls are driven apart by doubts – and a wicked enchantment – they start keeping secrets too... As the most powerful evil they've ever encountered closes in, can they still trust each other with their lives?

  McGann has created a satisfying, entertaining page turner... the castles, dungeons, fairy creatures and magical wizardry match pretty much anything you'd come across in Hogwarts' booksforkeeps.co.uk on The Watching Wood

  In book one of this Christian chapter book series, two doves are charged with keeping Adam and Eve from succumbing to the serpent’s evil influence.   When God first created the world, He hung the sun and the moon in the sky, He filled the oceans and carved the mountains—and then, in His first garden, He created the very first flying creatures—Coo and Flutter, two very special doves on a mission of love.   In The Gardener’s Helpers, Coo and Flutter are given the important job of guiding and protecting Adam and his mate, Eve. Coo’s wacky ways and selfish desires blind him to the true mission God set out for him. He believes he can easily accomplish this seemingly simple task on his own. But when Flutter, his mate, discovers that Eve is missing, Coo finally takes the lead in a race against time to save her from the evil one. Tragically, they are too late. But God’s gift of forgiveness prepares Coo for the incredible journey that lies ahead. His mission is not over . . . it’s about to begin.

  Nominated for the 2020 CILIP Carnegie Medal
  Bridie lives on the remote Scottish island of Tornish, the youngest of three sisters. Although she loves her island, with its wild seas and big skies, she guiltily nurses a secret dream of flight - to America and the freedom of the New World. But her family are struggling under the spiteful oppression of the new Laird, and it seems that even some of the Laird's own household are desperate to leave. When the Laird's full cruelty becomes apparent, there's no more time for daydreams as Bridie needs to help the people she loves escape to safety.
  Cover and chapter head illustrations by Jasu Hu. Map illustration by Hannah Horn.
  The first in a gripping, dramatic new series from much-loved author, Karen McCombie.
  "This involving, evocative tale, narrated by Bridie with a hint of period language, is a study of rich and poor, offering clearly-drawn characters."- Nicolette Jones, Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week
  
  "There's heart in this Scottish adventure. . . This is (Karen's) best. It has a vivid setting, emotional punch and characters to really care about." - Alex O'Connell, The Times, Children's Book of the Week
  
  "It may all seem a far cry from the "slushy, gushy love songs" of Ally's World. And yet here, as there, McCombie displays her gift, which is to create a narrator who sounds thoroughly convincing, and to inhabit the consciousness of a child." Emily Bearn, The Telegraph
  
  "Little Bird Flies by Karen McCombie is the evocative and beautifully written tale of Bridie (Little Bird) who dreams of a bigger life than the one she's destined for on her tiny Scottish isle of Tornish. With themes of immigration and prejudice and characters you'll root for, this will appeal to fans of Emma Carroll and Marie-Louise Jensen." - Michelle Harrison, author of A Pinch of Magic
