Pre-order: Signed copy of Escape from Sherwood by Beattie Alvarez, illustrated by David Allan
This book is available for PRE-ORDER. Books will be posted in November.
Michael Robins has a new game. It’s cool. It’s retro. It has bows and arrows, an evil king and something that he can see out of the corner of his eye.
A chance glitch and a child’s sticky fingers finds Michael and his friends sucked inside the computer where the game is reality and The Master is about to reset the program.
Time is running out. Complete the levels or be deleted.
With an unusual setting, great pace, and vivid characters, this short novel is a gripping page-turner for readers aged 8-11.
About the author:
The most important thing about Beattie Alvarez is that she’s a reader. She reads while she cooks, eats and showers, but NOT in bed. This is mainly due to the fact that she can’t put the book down — just one more chapter, and one after that and one after that until the book is finished and the sun is rising. When she’s not reading, she’s a writer, illustrator, editor, graphic designer, toy shop owner and dragon maker. She has over half a dozen books with her name on the cover as an editor and is half of the creative duo Phoebe McArthur (author of the three Lucy Newton chapter books and middle-grade novel Charlie Chaplin: The Usual Suspect, also published by Christmas Press). As well, she’s had several short stories published in various places.
About the illustrator:
David Allan is an illustrator and artist whose first picture book, Two Trickster Tales from Russia (retold by Sophie Masson) was published by Christmas Press in 2013. Since then, he has illustrated other picture books, as well as short story anthologies, junior fiction books and storybooks for reading programs. His work is in private and public collections, and he has participated in solo and group exhibitions.
Miniature Witchy Mice
These tiny guys love flying. Whether that's from a rear view mirror, a christmas tree or off our shop shelves, it's what they do best!
They are very small approximately 7 cm long.
Not recommended for young children or rough adults due to their size.
Neptune
Sold out
Neptune is a water-loving dragon (not literally, he hates baths!). He does love sitting by the water and watching his distance relatives, the water-dragons, flit around just above the water. One day he hopes it will rain again.
His marabou fluff is non-toxic and his eyes are safety eyes, but we recommend that small children are supervised when playing with him.
Poseidon
Sold out
Poseidon is named after the Greek God of the Seas. He's certainly regal when perched atop your shoulder surveying all that is his.
His marabou fluff is non toxic and his eyes are safety eyes, however, we suggest that small children are supervised when playing with him.
Quincy
Sold out
Quincy is a lovable Puff dragon who always looks on the bright side of life. He is as happy playing games and having adventures as he is lying in bed and reading stories.
His marabou fluff is non-toxic and he has safety eyes, however we recommend that small children and rough adults are supervised when playing with him.
Salvatore
Sold out
Salvatore is a big fan of 2010ish fantasy novels. He doesn't mind being called either Damon or Stefan, as long as he is loved by someone with fabulous hair. He can have a darker side, but it's very charming and you'll barely notice it.
His marabou fluff is non-toxic and he has safety eyes, however we recommend that small children and rough adults are supervised when playing with him.
