After a tsunami causes massive devastation to a tropical island, its governor sends in the bulldozers to knock down villages, replacing them with luxury hotels. Guarding the corrupt governor's family isn't James Adams' idea of the perfect mission, especially as it's going to be his last as a CHERUB agent. Then retired colleague Kyle Blueman comes up with a highly unofficial and highly dangerous plan of his own. And so James must choose between loyalty to CHERUB, and loyalty to his oldest friend...

The twelfth instalment in a hugely successful series. James' final mission, but not the end of CHERUB...

For 12-year-old Zac Flint and his family this is the reality they face. In the small town of Hansen the inhabitants wait for the pandemic to hit while calling on their own resourcefulness to survive.

Written in the form of a diary it highlights the tenuous nature of today's communities and the challenges we face when our most basic needs are threatened.

Everyone knows about Anne Frank, and her life hidden in the secret annexe - or do they? Peter van Pels and his family are locked away with the Franks too, and Peter sees it all differently.
What is it like to be forced into hiding with Anne Frank, to hate her and then find yourself falling in love with her? To know you're being written about in her diary, day after day? What's it like to sit and wait and watch whilst others die, and you wish you were fighting?
Anne's diary ends on August 4 1944, but Peter's story takes us on, beyond their betrayal and into the Nazi death camps. He details with accuracy, clarity and compassion, the reality of day to day survival in Auschwitz - and the terrible conclusion.

Reminiscent of Smallville and Heroes, here finally is a thriller with awesome pace, mindblowing special effects and a breathtaking high concept. ... more
