Summary

Eustace was a naughty monk who lived in France during the Middle Ages. Monks usually spent their time praying and reading the bible and being good, but Eustace was not like that at all! People told lots of stories about Eustace because he had such an exciting life. Can you guess which of these stories are true and which are made up?

 
This engaging and enjoyable book for younger readers tells an intriguing story with an educational twist. Exploring the life of a real historical figure through verifiable accounts and fictional stories from the time, this colourful tale provides a fascinating and fun way of introducing children to the medieval period.

 
With its simple language and bright illustrations, it is particularly suitable for reading with young children or for early readers to try on their own.
Available since: 11/01/2012.

    In this “exciting, unpredictable and unsettling” sci-fi thriller, students struggle to survive a virus that turns humans into murderous machines (Publishers Weekly). 
 
Paul is the new kid at Mortingham Boarding Academy, and he has a dark secret. Caitlyn admires Paul from afar and resents that he only has eyes for Erika. Erika thinks that she and Caitlyn are best friends, but she’s wrong. Adam is a bully with a major chip on his shoulder. Mark is outgrowing his old friends but doesn’t know how to make new ones. 
 
In a few short hours, none of this will matter. Without warning, a horrifying infection will spread across the school grounds, and a group of students with little in common will find themselves barricaded in a classroom, fighting for their lives. Some will live. Some will die. And then it will get even worse. 
 
Fast-paced and frightening, Silver is a tale set on the fringes of science and horror—a story about the struggle to survive in the face of impossible odds. 
 
“Wooding has morphed a traditional English boarding-school story into a horror survival story that would make William Golding and Gary Paulsen envious.” —Booklist 
 
“All kinds of white-knuckle fun.” —Kirkus Reviews
