Знакомьтесь, это наш герой Сэмюэль Блинк. Только он об этом не знает. О том, что он – герой и самый притом настоящий. Сэмюэль спас свою сестричку Марту из плена ужасно-ужасной злющей ведьмы, которая охотится за тенями и живет — а вы думали где? — в Тенистом лесу, где водятся одноглазые добрые тролли, правдивые пикси и опасные хульдры, которые потом передумали быть опасными и стали петь гимны солнцу.
Однако для того, чтобы выручить Марту, Сэмюэлю пришлось ненадолго стать белым кроликом, а преданному псу Ибсену удалось вернуть свой прежний – человеческий – облик.

In a seaside town of sandy beaches and ocean breezes, Sapphy has never felt so far from the sea. The crowded shore at St. Pirans is nothing like the cove at Sapphy's old home, where she first found her way into the underwater world of Ingo.
But Ingo's pull is strong, and it always finds a way. Soon Sapphy and her brother, Conor, are swimming beneath the waves again, riding the currents and teasing their Mer friend Faro. As Sapphy goes deeper into Ingo, she learns to feel more at home in the sea - even as she begins to be aware of its dangers.
There's the danger of going in too deep, and breaking the delicate balance between Sapphy's life on land and her life in Ingo. There's the mysterious disappearance of Sapphy's father, an experienced sailor who should never have drowned. And then there's Ingo itself - a restless power as old as the world, as strong as the tides, and more dangerous than anything Sapphy has ever known.

Very occasionally the term non-fiction has to stretch itself to accommodate a book that fits into no category at all. Michael Rosen's Sad Book is such a book. It chronicles Michael's grief at the death of his son Eddie from meningitis at the age of 19. A moving combination of sincerity and simplicity, it acknowledges that sadness is not always avoidable or reasonable and perfects the art of making complicated feelings plain. It wasn't made like any other book either; Michael Rosen said of the text, " I wrote it at a moment of extreme feeling and it went straight down onto the page ... Quentin didn't illustrate it, he 'realized' it. He turned the text into a book and as a result showed me back to myself. No writer could ask and get more than that." And Quentin Blake says that the picture of Michael "being sad but trying to look happy" is the most difficult drawing he's ever done... "a moving experience."
