A Midsummer Knight's Quest:
Hemlock was just an ordinary scavenger goblin, devoting his life to foraging for his Hive Mother and hiding from the sun's cruel gaze. But everything changed the day that he stole an egg. He thought it would be a real feast - but it had other ideas. Before he knew it, he had friends, real friends, and discovered a life outside the grim life of servitude. But his new, happy, existence was threatened, for someone else had eyes on their kingdom - someone who sought to destroy it. Can a goblin, a brownie and a bird save the only home they know?

"Midsummer Knight's Quest" is a quirky and fun novel about friendship and about how being small does not make you powerless. It has a diverse cast of characters, a fast paced plot and is suitable for ages 8+.

Aroha's Grand Adventure:
Like all weka, Aroha is curious and smart. When her tummy leads her into trouble, she finds herself snatched from her peaceful home in Grey and carried across the countryside. Alone in this strange new place, what is one young weka to do? Follow her instincts and find her way home, of course. Her journey takes her through farmland and swamp, across rivers and over mountains. Many dangers and other challenges face her but with courage and determination, one weka can go a long way.

Aroha is a cheeky character, and her adventures should appeal to children aged seven and up. Adventure and humour mingle together into an appealing, fast-paced read. The book is illustrated throughout (in black and white) and as everything is (roughly) based on fact, there are also several educational appendices.

This is a book for any animal lover, young or old.
