• Literacy Essentials for Every Teacher

    Literacy provides some of the most important challenges, and solutions, to learning in the classroom and beyond.

Literacy Essentials for Every Teacher is the definitive guide to literacy, summarising the best of what we know works with reading, writing, talk, and vocabulary development and providing practical solutions for transforming literacy outcomes in the classroom.

    Alex Quigley, author of the bestselling ‘Closing the Gap’ series, explains the ‘why’ of reading, writing, talk, and vocabulary, establishing the essential knowledge teachers need before offering a wealth of strategies and easy-to-use classroom activities that can be used across the curriculum every day to support literacy development. Including additional guidance on literacy assessment and supporting learners with SEND, the chapters equip teachers with the tools to build confidence in speaking, enhance vocabulary and foster a love for reading and writing.

    Packed with practical advice, answers to frequently asked questions, and examples spanning all phases of education, this is an essential resource for all teachers at every stage of their career.

  • In Anne’s Shadow: Mary Boleyn’s Tudor Tale of Survival and Love (Women Of The Tudor Court Book 1)

    01

    Mary Boleyn has always lived in the shadow of others. First, her ambitious family, then her brilliant, alluring sister Anne. Sent to the French court as a girl, Mary learns early that obedience is expected and silence rewarded. And at Henry VIII’s court, she learns that a woman’s value is measured by what she can give a king.

    When Henry VIII turns his attention to Mary, she becomes his mistress, not out of hunger for power, but because refusal is not a language women at court are taught to speak.

    Unlike Anne, Mary does not dream of crowns. She dreams of safety. Of love. Of a life not governed by a man’s desire.

    After Henry’s interest fades and Anne’s ambition rises, Mary is quietly discarded, left to navigate judgment, loss, and an uncertain future. When she dares to marry for love without permission, she is cast out by her family and erased from history’s grand narrative. Anne becomes Queen of England. Mary becomes no one.

    Yet Mary survives.

    In Anne’s Shadow is an intimate Tudor novella that reclaims the voice of the forgotten sister – the woman who stepped away from power and discovered the courage to live on her own terms.

  • The Broken Signal: A fake dating hockey romance (Pine Barren University Book 6)

    01

    A steamy new college hockey romance featuring a shy gentle giant, a fierce punk rock goddess, and a fake relationship that forces them both to face everything they’ve been hiding.

    HIS WEAKNESS

    Ben Kellerman is the PBU Devils’ gentle giant—a formidable defenseman on the ice who becomes a stammering disaster the moment a pretty girl looks his way. Past humiliations taught him his “jock” self is a coward and his “nerd” self is pathetic. He’s convinced he’ll never be enough for anyone.

    So when a gorgeous punk singer propositions him in a bar, his first instinct is to run. His second is to wonder if this is the universe finally throwing him a lifeline.

    HER ARMOR

    Cassidy “Cass” Vance is the snarling frontwoman of campus punk band Pinebox—all ripped fishnets, combat boots, and weaponized attitude. But her fierce persona is armor against a world that taught her men only want the fantasy, never the real woman underneath.

    Now, with aggressive fans crossing lines, she needs a human shield. Someone big enough to intimidate, sweet enough to control, and clueless enough to never see through her walls.

    Ben Kellerman fits the bill perfectly. Or so she thinks.

    THEIR UNSCRIPTED CHEMISTRY

    The rules are simple: he plays the protective boyfriend, she fakes being his girlfriend to get the hockey guys off his back, and absolutely nobody catches feelings. But between stolen glances at dive bar gigs and unexpectedly tender moments, their fake relationship starts writing its own script.

    The guy who fixes broken things is falling for the girl convinced she’s beyond repair. And the woman who always strikes first is terrified of what happens when she finally lets someone stay.

    Key details:

    • Fake dating (what could possibly go wrong?)
    • She falls first (but he falls harder)
    • Opposites attract (the stammering sweetheart and the punk rock queen)
    • Touch her and die (he’s shy until someone threatens his girl)
    • Sixth in series (but read as standalone!)
    • Steamy ‘open door’ spice level
    • Happily-ever-after and no cliffhangers.

    Phil Nellis is missing, which is bad – but nowhere near as bad as the reason he had to disappear. His dearly departed uncle double-crossed some truly heinous individuals who have some very specific ideas about how to exact their revenge. Fifty-two hours is an unreasonably short amount of time to be given to steal Ireland’s greatest national treasure, but then again, having a bomb strapped around your neck is an unreasonable form of motivation.

    Phil and Paul have no choice but to attempt to carry out the crime of the century against the clock, and Brigit must try to keep her head when all about are in danger of losing theirs.

    The Big Steal is book 3 in the MCM Investigations series, a spin-off from the award-nominated, TV-show-pending and infuriatingly inaccurately titled Dublin Trilogy.

  • Murder of a Silver-Tongued Suitor: A totally addictive cozy historical English murder mystery (A Lady Margot Blackwell Mystery Series Book 5)

    One man’s death ignites a mystery… another man’s love may save her life.

    Lady Margot Blackwell has survived village gossip, social obligations, and the occasional festive disaster, but nothing quite prepares her for the silver-tongued charmer who arrives at Blackwell Manor… and promptly drops dead.

    During a glittering exhibition meant to elevate Crayford’s cultural standing, tragedy strikes, tongues wag, and Margot’s name shoots straight to the top of the suspect list. (“Terrible for the Manor, splendid for conversation,” as Mrs Biddlecombe cheerfully puts it.)

    Inspector Simon Grant returns to investigate, struggling between bureaucratic duty and increasingly undeniable feelings for Margot, feelings that flare the moment someone appears determined to halt her involvement in the most lethal manner possible.

    Armed with courage, wit, and a lady’s maid who treats gossip like a competitive sport, Margot dives headfirst into a maze of jealous lovers, financial betrayals, and suspiciously polished motives.

    If she does not discover the killer first, the killer may well discover her.

    Dramatic, charming, and wickedly funny, Murder of a Silver-Tongued Suitor proves that in Kent, death is never simple, romance is never straightforward, and a silver goblet can be far deadlier than it looks.

    If you crave sparkling banter, delicious intrigue, and a heroine who turns society on its ear, Murder of a Silver-Tongued Suitor will keep you guessing (and smiling) to the very last page. This is historical cosy mystery with heart, humour, and a heroine you will simply want as your new best friend.

  • The Lakeside Chalet – Complete Series : An uplifting escape filled with second chances, friendship, and finding home

    01
    A chalet in bloom. A heart on the mend. And a new beginning she never planned.

    When London yoga instructor Lucy inherits a grand lakeside chalet in a small Alpine town, she’s certain of one thing: this springtime escape is not the solution to her broken heart. But as wildflowers bloom along the glass-clear lake and the mountains awaken from winter, Lucy begins to feel something she hasn’t felt in a long time — possibility.

    Determined to turn the ageing chalet into a boutique yoga retreat, Lucy quickly discovers that life in this beautiful Alpine town — where Europe’s elite hide from the spotlight — isn’t as picture-perfect as it first appears. Clearly, not everyone is pleased to see an outsider claim such a prominent place by the lake.

    But as resistance mounts, Lucy also finds a handful of friends who offer humour and support when she needs it most. Slowly, a fragile sense of belonging begins to form, even as old tensions, buried secrets, and one infuriatingly intriguing hotel owner threaten to pull her back into patterns she thought she’d left behind.

    As the days grow longer and the chalet fills with life, Lucy must decide whether she’s ready to stop running — and whether this place by the lake could finally feel like home.

    Now available in English after becoming a bestseller in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, The Lakeside Chalet box set is a heart-warming women’s fiction escape about healing, belonging, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again.

    Perfect for readers who love cosy settings, emotional depth, found family, and slow-burn romance.

    ‘A beautifully written eulogy for the loss of a relationship’ Joyce Carol Oates

    ‘Strangers reads with all the momentum and colour of water-tight literary fiction’ British Vogue

    How do we go on when a loved one betrays us?

    On a chilly day in March of 2020, in the early days of the pandemic, Belle Burden’s husband of twenty years announced, with no prior warning, that he was leaving her. His decision shocked Belle to her core: she believed he was a happy man, a committed partner, and a devoted father to their three children. She thought he was a man who had settled into the life he had always wanted: a successful career, summers spent at their beloved home on Martha’s Vineyard, lots of tennis. Overnight, he transformed from her steady companion into a stranger.

    As she pieces her life together in the wake of a loss she had never imagined coming, she finds she is much stronger than she ever expected. Exploring the transformation of a shy, quiet girl, nicknamed ‘Belle the Good’ to a powerful, brave, determined woman who has learned to use her voice to expose the patriarchal structures that have forced women to be discreet and compliant for far too long, Strangers is a must-read memoir of self-discovery.

  • FLICK: A history of female pleasure (Audio Download): Kate Lister, Transworld Digital: Amazon.co.uk: Audible Books & Originals

    Brought to you by Penguin.

    We like to think of the modern ‘sex positive’ movement as being a radical break from the past; that we are finally sorting out the repression and denial of women’s sexual pleasure that has restricted us throughout history. But women demanding better sex did not arrive with modern day feminism or the Rampant Rabbit. It has been a very long fight indeed.

    It is true that women’s sexual pleasure has been heavily repressed, stigmatised, and even denied at various points throughout history, but it has also been celebrated, venerated, and thoroughly, THOROUGHLY, enjoyed. Women have been fighting for their right to enjoy sex all along and theirs is a story that needs to be told.

    From the Aztec sex goddesses to ivory marital aids, Flick takes us through history to meet the matriarchal minxes who (quite literally) came before us.

  • British Gardens (BBC Books)

    What do our gardens say about us?

    Monty Don has spent many years travelling the world, from America to Japan, from Italy and the Adriatic to Spain and the Mediterranean, getting under the skin of a country through its gardens and gardening traditions. In British Gardens, he finally brings his focus to home, journeying from the northern tip of Scotland to the Cornish coast, seeking to understand what our gardens tell us about ourselves as a nation.

    Encompassing historical gardens and public parks, mountains and seascapes, urban gardens and rural nurseries, glasshouses and community plots, each encounter is another link in a larger story of British identity: marks of ingenuity, eccentricity, and adaptation to changing environments. From Northumbria’s Alnwick Gardens and Beatrix Potter’s Lake District farmhouse to the rewilded walled garden on the Knepp Estate and the story of Britain’s first garden gnome, Monty’s account brings in an astonishing range of British experience.

    Accompanied by a landmark five-part series on BBC2, and illustrated by stunning photography from Monty’s long-time collaborator Derry Moore, British Gardens is a definitive, and uniquely British, account of a nation like no other.

  • Trafalgar: Nelson’s Great Victory (The Age of Sail)

    A gripping account of one of history’s most famous naval battles: Trafalgar.

    But why was the battle so important? How did Napoleon’s navy come to threaten English shores? And what truly unfolded during those brutal hours on 21 October 1805?

    In this authoritative and engrossing narrative, Donald Macintyre charts the dramatic prelude to Trafalgar — from Horatio Nelson’s rise to fame at the battles of the Nile and Copenhagen, to Pierre-Charles Villeneuve’s bold attempt to unite French naval forces in the Caribbean before slipping past the British blockade to challenge their command of the seas.

    The mounting tension is brilliantly captured as Nelson pursues Villeneuve across the Atlantic, leading to a fateful clash off the coast of Spain. Though the outcome is known to history, the battle’s gripping details — the daring manoeuvres, the desperate fighting, and the heroism of individual ships and captains — are vividly brought to life, revealing both the triumph and the tragedy of Britain’s most celebrated naval victory.

    Trafalgar is essential reading for anyone fascinated by this legendary conflict of the Age of Sail.

  • Geheimnisse auf dem Maskenball: Secrets and Scrabble 3 (Secrets and Scrabble (Deutsche Sprache)) (German Edition)

    01
    Liebe liegt in der Luft – ebenso wie Mord!

    Ellery Page, angehender Drehbuchautor, amtierender Scrabble-Champion und manchmal etwas naiver Besitzer des Krimi-Buchladens Crow’s Nest, ist geschmeichelt und zugleich verdutzt, als er zum jährlichen Marodeur Maskenball eingeladen wird, dem größten gesellschaftlichen Ereignis der Saison in dem malerischen Küstenstädtchen Pirate’s Cove, Rhode Island.

    Dabei kennt Ellery Mrs. Bloodworth-Ainsley nicht einmal und wie sich herausstellt, kennt Mrs. Bloodworth-Ainsley Ellery ebenso wenig. Aber Marguerites Sohn Julian will Ellery unbedingt kennenlernen. Der gut aussehende, reiche und charmante Krimifan Julian hat allerdings bisher nicht den Mut aufgebracht, Ellery um ein Date zu bitten.

    Da seine Beziehung mit Polizeichef Jack Carson auf Eis zu liegen scheint, ist Ellery für die schmeichelhafte Aufmerksamkeit des begehrten Junggesellen dankbar. Doch jegliche Hoffnung auf eine Romanze zerläuft im Sand, als Julian beschuldigt wird, während der jährlichen Geisterjagd auf dem alten Friedhof den unsympathischen zweiten Ehemann seiner Mutter ermordet zu haben.

  • The Nest Los Angeles: America’s Reinfestation… (The Nest Series Book 3)

    The Nest: Los Angeles

    They thrived beneath New York. They devoured London. Now… they come for Los Angeles.

    Deep beneath the sprawling streets of LA, in forgotten storm drains and abandoned subway tunnels, something ancient and monstrous is breeding. The homeless are disappearing without a trace, dragged screaming into the dark by huge, carnivorous nutria rats that have evolved into a perfect killing swarm.

    At first, the authorities dismiss the reports, but they realise it’s happening again. It’s the nightmares from New York and London on their doorstep. Body parts begin surfacing in flood channels. CCTV captures shadows moving too fast to be real. Until the first attack happens above ground… in broad daylight.

    As the nest swells into the millions, the city becomes a feeding ground.

    Hospitals, malls, underground car parks, movie theatres, nowhere is safe. The rats are no longer hiding. They are hunting.

    With Los Angeles teetering on the brink of collapse, a small, desperate task force races to uncover the nest behind the infestation. But the deeper they dig, the more horrific the answers become. The Covenant of the Nest are back and it’s a disaster.

    This is weaponised evolution.

    Relentless, brutal, and terrifyingly fast-paced, The Nest: Los Angeles plunges readers into a nightmare where survival is measured in seconds, and the darkness beneath the city is alive with teeth.

    Millions of rats. One city. No escape.

    Perfect for fans of James Herbert, Stephen King, and apocalyptic creature horror.

  • Global Warning

    Martin Parr puts the world to rights in this comprehensive catalogue of five decades of his photographs, published to accompany a major exhibition at Jeu de Paume in Paris

    For over fifty years Martin Parr has photographed the absurdities of the contemporary world, from the frenzy of over-consumption and the ravages of mass tourism to humanity’s increasing reliance on technology and our complex relationship with the animal kingdom.

    By turns critical, satirical, surprising, and funny, Global Warning is published in association with Jeu de Paume to accompany a new major exhibition of Parr’s photography at the arts centre in Paris in January – May 2026.

    Richly illustrated with more than 175 of his photographs, from his early black-and-white work in the raucous holiday parks and sleepy supermarkets of rural England to his more recent colour photography of bustling tourist attractions and must-see destinations from across the globe, Global Warning offers a reinterpretation of Martin Parr’s work and position in a time of widespread global disorder.

    Featuring a tone-setting introduction by Quentin Bajac, director of Jeu de Paume, four further essays by Jean-François Staszak, Roberta Sassatelli, Violette Pouillard, and Adam Greenfield, experts in the fields of geography, sociology, wildlife conservation and urban design, put the selection of works into context and explore the important topics that seem immediately relevant to our everyday lives.

    Showcasing many of Parr’s most renowned images alongside rarely published hidden gems, Global Warning presents more than five decades of incisive visual commentary from one of the world’s most celebrated photographers.

The investigation uncovers further bizarre killings, a baffling money trail, and a fanatical secret society.
