Mountains of Fire
is a whirlwind ride through a vivid landscape of exploding spells, magical gems and colour-coded dragons — an exhilarating adventure for younger fantasy fans.

His closest friend is Alyxa, a dragon charmer with the rare gift of soothing and commanding dragons. But not all dragons in Shanoria are tame, and when the feral Reds kidnap the crown prince, Logan and Alyxa are thrust into a fast-paced adventure.
The Reds, and their evil leader, Firetongue, are plotting a volcanic upheaval that will make the world hot, flame-filled and free of humans. Logan, Alyxa and the obnoxious Prince Myles have to find the legendary white dragon, Silverhorn, and convince him to help prevent their fiery doom.

A heart-thumping, action-thriller for teens that will compel readers to keep turning the pages until the very end.
Greg and his friends, Pip and Rikkers, 'borrow' a dinghy from a boat yard to go out joyriding one night. On their return they stumble upon a group of men stealing expensive equipment from the boat yard and flee in fear, luckily unnoticed (or so they think). Not wanting to get in trouble for their own misdemeanour, they decide not to go to the police about what they've seen. However a few weeks later, during a similar robbery at another boat yard, someone is murdered. By this time Greg and Rikkers have discovered who the members of the gang are - it includes kids from school and a terrifying tattooed bikie known only as BP. Unfortunately for Greg, BP has realised that Greg knows more then he should. This menacing figure is determined to teach him to mind his own business.

About Griffen's Heart

NZ$ 20.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Tina Shaw
James Griffen is sixteen, with a bad heart. He’s on the hospital waiting list for a valve replacement. Meanwhile his physical activities are seriously curtailed so he gets about on his dead father’s Vespa – his lifeline – and hangs out at the local video store with misfit Marlene.
He’s considered a nerd at school but even before the Vespa, he was never the seriously sporty or macho type. By contrast, his younger brother Ryan is tough and worldly-wise with a smart mouth.
Reflective, funny, self-deprecating James falls for the ‘hottest chick’ in school – who’s also the unlikeliest catch. Roxy is more like Ryan: cool, streetwise and angry. But James is loyal in his affections and in spite of the thrashing his heart gets in the pursuit, he and Roxy form an odd bond, and James is the one who hangs in there when things turn nasty. There’s a street-fighting crisis, a near-death, and James finally gets his operation.
Told in smart, ...

Ted Dawe
The year mum died and Dad went mad I was packed off to a farm for a while.The first sentence of Ted Dawe's new book sets the scene for this tender and dramatic story. But this is no ordinary farm: our narrator's Aunt Lorna, Uncle Frank and five cousins belong to the Jerusalem League, a William Blake cult. Their house is unusual, in that the rooms are hexagons - six-sided - as are the doors and windows, the dinner table and plates. And you guessed it; they're bee-keepers.Our young narrator takes us through his initiation to farm life: chores and more chores, which he doesn't mind really, starting a new school and coping with the local bully, Noel Cudby, finding the perfect place: a swimming hole hidden in the bush, and making friends with Pimpernickle, the resident pig.It's here with Pimpernickle when we become aware of his loneliness: That pig is sure smart. I reckon he can tell my moods. When I'm feeling depressed, which is quite ...
