Genius Ideas (Mostly) (Tom Gates)
Seeing Delia without her sunglasses on is a BIG shock for Tom, but that’s nothing compared with the surprise that Dad has in store with his new-found fitness regime!

Meanwhile Tom, Derek and Norman are also busy with a training regime of their own – practising with Dogzombies to make sure they’re ready for the school talent show.

Tom Gates is Absolutely Fantastic (at some things)
This takes the form of Tom’s battered homework diary – crammed with his doodles and stories. “Exciting News! Mr Fullerman announces that class 5F are going on an ‘Activity Break’! Which should be fun. As long as I don’t get stuck in a group with anyone who snores or worse still with . . . . . . Marcus Meldrew. Delia is already threatening to paint my room funny colours while I’m away. Which is annoying. I just hope the only surprise I have when I get home is the new pet that I hear Mum and Dad talking about. Because I’ve always wanted a pet!”

Top of the Class (Nearly) (Tom Gates) Paper cover
From the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, the Best Book for Younger Readers – Red House Children’s Book Award, the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 5 – 12 year-olds and the Blue Peter Best Story Book Award 2013, comes the ninth amazing instalment of this brilliant series! TIPS FOR BEING TOP OF THE CLASS (Sadly…I did NONE of these things.) 1. Stay awake in lessons (it helps.) 2. Don’t draw HILARIOUS pictures of your teachers. 3. AVOID the class bully to stay out of trouble. 4. Don’t let Mum and Dad write ANYTHING in your school planner. 5. Don’t let your grumpy sister Delia BOSS you around. (Technically not a school issue – but still important.) I’m TRYING to get voted onto the school council as well – but thanks to the ABOVE list it’s not exactly going to plan.

Everything’s Amazing (sort of) (Tom Gates)
Back to school, but it’s not all bad. Sports Day, the school fair and Tom’s birthday are all coming up. And even better, his awful big sister Delia won’t be at any of those events! On the downside, Granny Mavis is threatening to make his birthday cake – uh oh! But on the other hand, Mr Keen has asked Dogzombies to perform in front of the whole school! YEAH! Maybe they can even play at the school disco too. How can the term turn out any less than seriously amazing?
Follow Tom on his third set of cheeky and doodle-tastic adventures in this Roald Dahl Funny Prize winning series! -
Mini Classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass
Brilliantly odd, highly inventive and very funny, Mini Classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass follow a little girl through topsy-turvy worlds where – to her great dismay – nothing happens as one might expect it to.
Lewis Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, born in Cheshire, England, on 27 January 1832. The son of a clergyman, Charles was the eldest boy of eleven children, so he became good at drawing pictures and inventing games, stories and poems to entertain his siblings. On a rowing boat trip one day, Charles made up a story for three children – ten-year-old Alice begged him to write it down. This became Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, published in 1865. The sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, was published in 1871.

Governing the World: The History of an Idea
The story of global cooperation is a tale of dreamers goading us to find common cause in remedying humanity’s worst problems. But international institutions are also tools for the powers that be to advance their own interests. Mark Mazower’s Governing the World tells the epic, two-hundred-year story of that inevitable tension—the unstable and often surprising alchemy between ideas and power. From the rubble of the Napoleonic empire in the nineteenth century through the birth of the League of Nations and the United Nations in the twentieth century to the dominance of global finance at the turn of the millennium, Mazower masterfully explores the current era of international life as Western dominance wanes and a new global balance of powers emerges.
