When Jack's little sister Lucy is kidnapped, he must journey to Elfland and face creatures and dangers he's never dreamed of in order to save his family. Click here to read more about this best-selling fantasy trilogy.

David MacAulay's Underground gives us a fascinating description of the labyrinth that lies beneath the feet of so many city dwellers.

Explore the network of walls, columns, cables, pipes and tunnels needed to meet the basic needs of a city's inhabitants. A real treat for those interested in architecture and engineering.

Haunted Ground by Erin Hart opens with a grisly discovery. Farmers cutting turf in an Irish peat bog uncover the perfectly preserved head of a young woman with long red hair.


Irish archaeologist Cormac Maguire must work with American pathologist Nora Gavin to solve the puzzle...who is she and how long has she been buried? If you enjoy this book there are three more featuring Cormac and Nora to choose from. Read more about them here.
