On the run in a stolen car with a kidnapped baby in tow, Custis, Curl, and Boobie are three young people with deeply troubled pasts and bleak futures. As they struggle to find a new life for themselves, it becomes painfully clear that none of them will ever be able to leave the past behind. Yet for one, redemption is waiting in the unlikeliest of places. With the raw language of the street and lyrical, stream-of-consciousness prose, Adam Rapp hurtles the reader into a world of lost children, a world that is not for the faint of heart. Gripping, disturbing, and starkly illuminating, his hypnotic narration captures the voices of two damaged souls — a third speaks only through drawings — to tell a story of alienation, deprivation, and ultimately, the saving power of compassion.

An endearing tale of a boy overcoming his bedtime fears with a little help from Dad - and the promise of wormcake in the morning.

Caught in a fierce storm, Captain Alfred's boat is tossed about, leaving only a little duckling and a cherished fiddle unharmed. The duckling forms a deep bond with the fiddle, symbolizing hope and resilience amidst chaos. This touching tale explores themes of companionship and the power of music to provide comfort in difficult times. As the story unfolds, readers are invited to witness the duckling's journey and the significance of holding onto what matters most during life's tempests.

The time has come for three young sandpipers to soar, but Earnest seems tied to the ground. He has wings and tail feathers just like his brother and sister; what makes him so afraid? Magic will happen, Mum promises, when he's ready. But no matter how much she and Dad coach him or his siblings cheer him on, Earnest's efforts only lead him into danger. Perhaps, with his family's support and a little trust in himself, they'll lead him out again.
