All of our books are 100% brand new, unread and purchased directly from the publishers in bulk allowing us to pass the huge savings on to you! Brightstorm is an adventurous middle grade novel that is full of exploration, fascinating characters and settings, and some really great messages about family and friendship. They have that special twin connection that only twins can relate to and through their actions and interactions we see how they truly understand each other, the belief that together they can do anything.The pacing was very well done, as it was neither too fast nor too slow, and it had enough action to keep my interest.

Brightstorm is Vashti Hardy’s gripping debut novel that was followed by the unique Wildspark This book fits the need of any confident reader, from adventure lover to readers who enjoy family stories. With his death and the children now orphaned, Arthur and Maudie are thrust from a life of comfort, to one of destitution. He's considered guilty of failing to render aid to his chief competitor in his quest for the polaris, the powerful Eudora Vine. Twins Arthur and Maudie Brightstorm receive word in Lontown that their famous explorer father has died in a failed attempt to reach the southernmost point in the world.

Each character had such a unique personality and genuinely brought so much joy and character to the story--Hardy really crafts some strong characters. We work closely with publishers and authors to ensure that we offer the best books on the market for your child. Highlights for me were the thought-wolves, the wonderful map, and the fact that there are a set of twins at the centre of it all. After losing their only living parent, the twins find themselves in dire straits and soon find themselves destitute.

The water bears became the new favourites and all three children wished Valiant could come to live with us as a pet. When publication day finally arrived, we made a special trip to Waterstones Leeds to see Darkwhispers and purchase additional copies. Here’s one, in the newspaper that they’re all standing on: Individuals Wanted For treacherous journey to South Polaris, Small wages, certain danger, Shared reward and recognition if successful. She is also the author behind The Griffin Gate books, the Harley Hitch series and the Ghost Machine Adventure books. It is the story of twelve-year-old twins, Arthur and Maudie Brightstorm, who are left alone when their father embarks on a great sky-ship expedition across the continents to South Polaris.Ce sont des enfants courageux qui n’hésite pas une seule seconde à aller au Polaris Sud pour comprendre ce qu’il s’est passé. The thrill of taking off in a sky ship; the charm of Felicity Wiggety and her lucky spoon; the mystery of Harriet Culpepper; the danger of quicksand, the freezing South Polaris and terrible villains; and strong family ties leave children asking for one more chapter every time. The twins don't believe the news, and they answer an ad to help crew a new exploration attempt in the hope of learning the truth and salvaging their family's reputation.

He is an intelligent, brave and determined explorer who strives to make ground-breaking discoveries and push the boundaries of adventure. The main characters Maudie and Arthur, are told that their dad is dead and had tried to steal from his competitors before he died.Hardy has created an original land featuring sky-ships, thought-wolves (my new favourite creature), unique continents and a great cast of characters with a couple of notable villains. A wonderfully paced, absorbing read that delivers a special feeling of adventure reserved for stories that you just cannot put down. This preteen steampunk adventure features a pair of twins as the protagonists, though we only ever hear from Arthur, an oversight that I hope gets corrected in the next book.
