Noah's Gold

Product Information

Packed with mystery, adventure and laughs, Noah’s Gold is the exciting novel from the bestselling, multi-award-winning author of Millions and Cosmic, Frank Cottrell-Boyce.

is an interactive self-care activity book for children aged 6+ to colour and doodle their way to happiness, calm and confidence. Your selection was perfect for our children and what really made the difference was your ability to engage with each child, discuss their interests and help them to choose a suitable book based on your extensive knowledge of the books you were selling. First the Sat-Nav goes awry and the group end up on an island in the middle of the sea, next their mini-bus is ruined, and finally the children find they are alone. In Noah's Gold, a school field trip to an online retailer's warehouse (the humorously named Orinoco Company, in a nod to the behemoth online company named after another South American river) goes awry when the satnav attempts to direct them to the Orinoco River, leading the minibus off the coast of Ireland and via ferry to a deserted island.The minibus is dead after falling off a cliff, with their packed lunches, and their teacher has gone missing after trying to get help. Unfortunately, it seems that her teacher’s SatNav is not to be trusted for it’s directed the minibus to an uninhabited island.

Told in the form of letters from Noah to his family, which mysteriously are answered, even though there is no post collection, Noah’s Gold is a very funny story, brilliantly told by one of our best storytellers. The characters are engaging and believeable (although I maintain they're younger than we're told), and the story bobs along nicely. also when the teacher just left and then randomly appeared again and then left them straight after on a boat it’s all just quite bizarre. Mindful Kids : An activity book for children who sometimes feel anxious or stressed, by Lily Murray (paperback) 24.

The encouraging and simple activities and exercises tackle anxiety, sadness and stress; children will enjoy using their creativity to combat negative feelings, work out why they feel worried and how to put stress back in its place through writing, colouring, doodling and drawing. Entertaining storyline, the use of letters being written and received and the shameless promotion of soda bread ,food of the gods!

Despite one in three children in the UK estimated to be living in poverty, the realities of growing up poor just aren't reflected in the majority of books for children and teens. I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! They would also only drop off a case of books and leave us to run it – it was so lovely to have you on hand to chat to the children and recommend them books, as well as the small (but appreciated!Steven lives with his partner Jay and his dog in Crouch End where he dunks endless amounts of biscuits in big red spotty cups of tea whilst listening to Radio 2. Thereafter, further disaster strikes, for he’s forgotten to apply the handbrake and the mini bus is teetering on a cliff edge… It seems that the minibus has arrived in a place of confusion.
