Book spotlight for Middle Grade Carousel July 2023: Staying Alive features the book NO SUCH THING AS DRAGONS by Philip Reeve.

Ansel’s new master slays dragons for a living. He claims to have hunted monsters all across Christendom, and has the scars to prove it. But is this so-called hero just a clever trickster in shining armour?

Ansel is sure there are no such things as dragons, but he can’t tell anyone what he really thinks, because he’s mute. When the pair are sent to discover what man-eating creature has been lurking in the crags of Dragon Mountain, the pair of travelers must brave with a tense and terrible adventure to discover the truth.

Book spotlight for Middle Grade Carousel June 2022: Books of the Future features the book LARKLIGHT by Philip Reeve.

Arthur Mumby and his irritating sister Myrtle live with their father in the huge and rambling house, Larklight, travelling through space on a remote orbit far beyond the Moon. One ordinary sort of morning they receive a correspondence informing them that a gentleman is on his way to visit. Visitors to Larklight are rare if not unique, and a frenzy of preparation ensues. But it is entirely the wrong sort of preparation, as they discover when their guest arrives, and a Dreadful and Terrifying (and Marvellous) adventure begins.
