Archer's Goon
The trouble started when Howard
Sykes came home from school and found the Goon sitting in the kitchen
and preventing Fifi from making the tea. He'd come to collect for Archer,
he said - Howard's father had got behind with his payments and he'd
better deliver fast. Archer wanted his two thousand now. ' "Two thousand!"
Fifi exclaimed. "You never told me that!" "Who is Archer?" said Howard.'
As Howard desperately attempts to unravel the mystery, he discovers
a ruthless plot to take over the world. Events move to a truly stupendous
conclusion for all concerned, in this magnificently inventive and hilarious
novel by a prize-winning author.
DogsBody
Sirius the Dog Star has been convicted of the murder of a
fellow luminary. As his punishment, he is sent down to earth to live
as a dog, in which form he will die unless he can recover the mysterious
Zoi. With only dim memories of the star-world from which he has fallen,
Sirius embarks on his seemingly impossible quest. Struggling to overcome
the obstacles placed in his way by worldly as well as other-worldly
forces, Sirius discovers that he must join the cold frosty hounds of
the underworld in their midnight hunt. Only then can he make his request
to their shadowy master.
Fire and Hemlock
Suddenly Polly begins to remember... Halloween, nine years
ago. She gatecrashed a funeral party at the big house. She met Tom Lynn
for the first time. And he gave her the strange photograph of the hemlock
flowers and the fire. But what has happened in the years between? Why
has Polly erased Tom from her own mind and the rest of the worlds as
well? How could she have forgotten him when he had meant so much to
her? And how can she unlock her memory, before her quest becomes a matter
of life or death...
Polly struggled with her own childhood
memories. Memories that reached beyond the familiar walls of her home,
beyond logic or imagination. Visions of fire, of hemlock, of an old
mansion and an eerie funeral procession clouded her thoughts and lured
her into the dark heart of an elusive otherworld. A world where dark
fantasies had become all too real. Where an evil woman regal as a queen
had trapped a man in her spell. And where Polly alone held the key to
his freedom from the seductive web of Fire and Hemlock.
