Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. From the masterful David Almond comes a joyful, wistful story of boyhood, running, and tales of days gone by, in a beautiful gift edition illustrated in full color. Liam just wants to go out running with his mates--the Junior Great North Run is not far away, and there's training to be done. But Mam needs him today, to help old Harry clear out his house. And Harry knows a thing or two about running. When he was a lad, he says, he ran from Newcastle to South Shields. "But Harry," says Mam, "it's thirteen miles!" Harry grins. "Different days," he says. Here is the story of that day: of sweltering heat, clattering boots, briny sea air, and the heavenly taste of ice cream; the day when Harry and his pals ran and ran and ran through the blazing sunlight all the way to the sea. Rubbino, Salvatore (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. From the boundless imagination of David Almond comes a thought-provoking question packaged in a lively illustrated chapter book: what if a robot went to school? When a new boy joins their class, everyone thinks he's . . . odd. George doesn't behave like other kids. He doesn't>think>like other kids. But he's great at football and snacking, and that's what matters to Dan and Maxie and their friends, who resolve to make George feel welcome. Over time, they learn that he's just like them in most ways, except one: George is a robot, part of an ambitious new experiment, with sinister people bent on destroying him. When George's lab pulls him out of school, can his new friends recover him--and set him free? Told in David Almond's signature rollicking narrative style, this poignant tale explores what it means to be human--and will inspire children to think and giggle in equal measure. Altés, Marta (illustrator).…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The imagination of three children takes on unexpected life in a creation tale from the dream team of David Almond and Dave McKean. The gods have created a world that is safe and calm and rather wonderful. They have built mountains, forests, and seas and filled the world with animals, people, and unnamed beasts. Now their days are fat with long naps in the clouds, mutual admiration, and tea and cake. But their world has gaps in it filled with emptiness, gaps that intrigue Harry, Sue, and little Ben until they begin to see what might fill them. One by one the children conjure, from twigs and leaves and stones, a mousy thing, a chirpy thing, and a twisty legless thing. But as the children's ideas grow bolder, the power of their visions proves greater and more dangerous than they, or the gods, could ever have imagined. Is it possible to unmake what's been made. McKean, Dave (illustrator).…
