Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Julie Amherst is adrift. Her father is gone, suddenly, without warning, and her sister, the only family she has left, has cut contact. At age nineteen, Julie finds herself alone in the quiet stillness of her childhood home, surrounded by memories that now echo with absence. The house is filled with ghosts, not of the paranormal kind, but of a life she once knew. The silence is louder than she expected.In an effort to pull her from the darkness, Julie's childhood friends, Lainey, Micah, Jacob, and Callie, gather for a weekend reunion. It's supposed to be comforting, a return to the simplicity of summers past. But what begins as an attempt at healing turns into something far stranger. Deep in the woods behind Julie's house, they find a girl. She's injured, terrified, and undeniably not human. Her name is Isabelle. Her blood runs blue. Her silver eyes shimmer with something ancient. And she wants to stay hidden.Taking her in, the group quickly realizes Isabelle is not only otherworldly, but deeply connected to something, or someone, from Julie's past. As they work to keep Isabelle safe, old tensions resurface: the friction of first love, unresolved arguments, unspoken grief. And Julie, still navigating the weight of her father's death, begins to uncover an unexpected link between this strange, celestial girl and the mother she's never met.Seven Feathers is more than a supernatural coming-of-age story, it's a tender exploration of grief, memory, and the quiet alchemy of healing. And in today's world, that exploration couldn't be more timely. In the United States, 1 in 14 children, over 5 million, will experience the death of a parent or sibling before the age of 18. That number jumps to more than 13 million by age 25. Yet despite this, most teens feel alone in their grief. Loss at that age isn't just painful, it's isolating, confusing, and often invisible to the outside world.Amanda Denham writes into this silence with empathy and imagination. Through Julie's journey, she gives young readers a place to put their questions: What happens when someone dies? How do we carry loss when it doesn't make sense? What does healing look like when we don't even know where to start?As Isabelle's condition worsens, and the line between the earthly and the ethereal begins to blur, Julie must face not only the truth about who Isabelle is, but who she herself is becoming. The girl who once stood frozen in grief is now forced to choose what kind of strength she's willing to grow into. And in doing so, she reclaims a sense of agency over her pain.Research shows that teens who experience death are significantly more likely to struggle with depression, anxiety, and long-term academic decline. But those with strong peer support and opportunities to process grief openly are far more resilient. Seven Feathers offers just that, a mirror for young readers, a story that doesn't flinch from loss, but also doesn't let it define the end. It reminds us that sometimes, love doesn't come with answers. It comes with staying. With bearing witness. Choosing to walk with someone through the dark, even when the path ahead isn't clear.Julie keeps seven feathers from Isabelle. Not because she understands everything, but because she's willing to remember. They become her talismans, not just of loss, but of transformation. Of friendship. Of the deep, mysterious hope that sometimes, what we think is the end. is only the beginning of something else.Seven Feathers is a story for anyone who has ever stood in the shadow of loss and asked, "What now?" It's a novel that invites readers to feel, question, and most importantly, heal. A gently powerful tale for ages 14 and up, this book belongs on school reading lists, in library grief resource sections, and in the hands of every young person who's ever Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. With no memories of his home, his family, or early childhood, SickBoy is thrust into a life he never deserved. No child does. The echo in his earliest recollections is of pitchdark rooms, cold walls, and a smelly, ragged blanket strewn on straw. Around him, children wept in terror, fearful of the night and the drunk master who prowled these halls seeking his next plaything. SickBoy cried too, first in terror at the thought of being chosen, then in bittersweet relief when another child took his place. How twisted, to find comfort in another boy's suffering.Days bled into one another: forced labour from dusk till dawn, relentless beatings, and barely enough sustenance to survive. His existence became mechanical one foot in front of the other, breath by breath. Wake. Work. Be beaten. Maybe eat. Sleep. Cry. The numbness seeped in, blanketing his mind.But one night, something snapped. SickBoy struck the drunken master, his killer's grip steady and decisive. As he drifted into an uneasy sleep, a small smile teased his lips. Killing at such a young age and feeling satisfied. Did this mark the turning point in his life?He was uprooted again and sent to another camp, another life of extreme brutality. This one reared him into a pitrat: running until collapse, fighting other broken youths until only one remained standing. Here, he wasn't a slave. He was a weapon in training. And he excelled.Alone as ever, his only bond the blacksmith who saw him, without judgment, in his muttered self-talk and violent mood swings. Under his tutelage, SickBoy thrived. He learned the art of the pit, the slow, torturous drawn out of pain before the final blow. He became the master's favourite, indulging a dark thrill in these battles.Then the blacksmith died leaving the boy truly alone for the first time in years. In the chaos of escape, SickBoy's vengeance was precise and brutal. When the dust cleared, he was abandoned by former brothers in arms and set loose in a harsh, cold land, walking north in rage and freedom.They call it freedom, but what does it feel like? Reaching Irik, crossing into free lands, but he feels nothing, numbness still cloaking his soul. Anger flares when he hears that others, his fellow Pit Rats, have settled, found community, solace, even joy. He has only solitude. Rejection and abandonment are old friends.Now comes the greatest challenge: life beyond slavery, beyond the pit. His skills are deadly, perfect for a mercenary. But he refuses that path. He is no longer their pawn. He is finally free.Yet freedom carries new weights. Emotion swells where numbness once lay. Questions assail him: Who am I now? Where do I belong? Can I trust? Can I forgive? Can I love? As he stares down these terrifying questions, no blankness to cushion him, he faces the toughest fight of all: reclaiming his humanity.Before him lay open road, a new life waiting if he dares to step into it. A chance to build trust and find loyalty, a family not born of blood but of bond. But can he reciprocate what he's never known? Can he quiet the arousal for violence that still simmers in his veins? Can he renounce his weapons and temper his anger?SlaveBoy, beaten, broken and brutalized, must now walk toward healing. Freedom in Irik isn't just about crossing borders, it's about battling within. Every step forward demands he confronts his past, his capacity for love, and the possibility of redemption.In Slave Alone, the third instalment of the Democ'chu series by Nath Brye, the raw edge of survival sharpens into a quest for identity. Escape was only the beginning. Now, together with new friends, human and not, SickBoy must navigate the delicate balance between the monster he became and the man he might yet be. This is a story of violence and vulnerability, of isolation and b Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Estella is bored, lonely and miserable, but on the plus side her unexciting life means that she has a good job, a house and hasn't been hospitalised for over a decade. When she meets famous young actor, Oscar Perez, he offers her a world of tempting opportunity. Will her mental health and security survive? Given the choice, would she want them to?Estella experiences life intensely. She doesn't just feel her own vibrant and volatile emotions, but she also feels the moods and feelings of the people around her; sometimes she isn't sure if what she's feeling is her own experience or other people's. This can make life a challenge and in order to deal with the constant onslaught of transferred emotions, Estella has formed an effective strategy. She calls on the strengths of former versions of herself. When she needs confidence, her thirty-year-old self, younger, slimmer and more attractive takes charge with an assurance that today's Estella has lost. When she needs anger and outrage, her fourteen-year-old self comes forward with all the feisty defiance that the current Estella can only dream of. Estella holds within her seven magnificent versions of herself on which to call.When Estella meets a distressed Oscar Perez, she feels immediate compassion for him as she's aware of the emotional crisis that he's facing. After she helps him out of a difficult situation, he adopts her as a talisman and Estella is suddenly drawn into an exciting world that fulfils all her dreams, but at what cost to her mental health and the world that she has fought hard to build for herself?This fast-paced, moving and often amusing novel explores the experience of a highly sensitive person (HSP) and how openness to emotional atmospheres can affect mental health and the ability to regulate one's own mood and decision making. We journey with Estella from sterile stability through crisis and emotional turmoil to finding a way to heal and thrive. Finally, we witness the birth of Estella's eighth version and the start of the next stimulating phase of her life.Lara Latcham has used personal experience as an HSP as well as decades of experience with mental health and working with young people to craft a story that entertains and informs whilst inspiring people to free themselves from the limits imposed by holding on to traumatic experiences.Lara's characters, Estella and Oscar, have both been holding on to anger and emotional wounds that have remained unresolved for years and which have caused their lives to become unsatisfactory and limited. They have both developed protective strategies that go some way to insulate them from daily upset, but which have isolated them from friends and family. When they are both forced to step out of their comfort zones, the real test begins. Will they find a way to move forward and start living without limitations?While Estella embraces a spiritual pathway to release her anger and unhappiness, Oscar puts his faith in Estella to save him, imposing an enormous burden on their nascent friendship. As Estella grows in emotional strength and self-knowledge, Oscar's anger increases as he feels her slipping away from him. Estella is playing a dangerous game, but she has no idea how damaging the consequences might be. Will her new-found emotional strength allow her to overcome Oscar's punishment? Will she be able to keep the absorbing new life that Oscar has helped her to discover, or will she lose it and Oscar and return to the sterile stability of her former existence?Despite tackling difficult and emotive themes, Estella also offers an exciting story, and compelling characters with whom readers will empathise and relate.
