'Home. Holidays. Free,' thought Ellis.
Well not quite free, with university on the horizon.
But free from school.
Free, although his best friend is dead.
Free to think about the future.
Free to transform his life.
When Ellis meets up with Jackie and three mysterious sisters, he is drawn into a number of increasingly bizarre situations. They introduce him to The Land of Smiles, where appearances are deceptive and being different is the norm. Ellis is sucked relentlessly into a drama from which he cannot escape. It's a matter of life and death, but time is against him.
The clock ticks on.
In twenty-four hours, Ellis is changed forever.

Margaret Mahy
A mind-blowing new novel from multi-award winning author Margaret Mahy.
Roland has everything a young man could wish for - good looks, enough money, a cool relationship with his mother, ready wit, intelligence, a sexy girlfriend, a perfect school record. So the fact that he committed a petty crime and that, somehow, one of his teachers knows about it is something he can hardly explain to himself, let alone anyone else.
The teacher, Mr Hudson, uses this knowledge to blackmail Roland into befriending the school misfit - Jess Ferret. The reason he gives is concern for her wellbeing, but even Roland finds this rather far-fetched. And when Jess doesn't respond to his confident advances, he becomes intrigued with the girl for his own reasons. Roland discovers Jess's dark secret and also finds that he has one of his own...

Why Do I Have to Eat Off the Floor?
order quantity
NZ$ 8.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Chris Hornsey (illus Gwyn Perkins)
Why can't I drive the car? Because you are too small to drive. Why can't I jump on the chair? Because chairs are for sitting. These seemingly innocent questions, the kind usually addressed by a child to a parent, take on a crazy new twist as the illustrations reveal that the questions are being addressed to a child - by her dog! The understated text beautifully sets off the grandiose ambitions of this little dog with BIG ideas. And his little girl owner patiently answers all his questions, until finally, she has to tell it like it is: But why do I have to eat off the floor? Because you're a DOG, Murphy! Quirky, charming and absolutely hilarious, "Why Do I Have to Eat Off the Floor?" will appeal to children, adults - and all those dog owners whose dogs just don't understand that they're not people! Gwyn Perkins's whimsical illustrations will delight.
First published 2005.
