  • - Pondlife, Kappa, Mikey & Addie
    av Robert Alan Evans & Gill Robertson
    199,-

    PONDLIFE Simon and Martin seem unlikely friends, but when Simon saves Martin from the aggressive and rather terrifying Sharon MacGuinness their fate is sealed and together they take on the world. However, one moment of indecision on a summer afternoon changes everything forever. A story of how hard it is to be brave when we are young and the moments we come to regret when we are old. KAPPA Kappa tells the story of one boy as he tries to find his place in a world that's falling apart. Set in an alternative universe where quantum games and knowledge of numbers opens the doors to multiple worlds and gives power to whoever can wield them Kappa finds himself part of a dangerous game that could lead to his own destruction. MIKEY & ADDIE Mikey is a dreamer. Addie is anything but. He walks about with his head in the stars, believing that his dad is up there somewhere, in space, working for NASA. However, when Addie shatters his dreams she starts to realize that with the truth comes responsibility and that, like it or not, she is going to have to do everything she can to help this boy. Even if it means breaking all the rules she holds dear.

    "Children have been banned. By order of the king. No one is to have a child until the queen herself is pregnant. So when the queen's servant and best friend Rose finds herself with child it is up to the two of them to find a way out. Even if it means making a bargain with the dark forces of the forest. And so all is well with the world until the queen and Rose's secret pact comes back to haunt them and both their daughters are doomed to die on their 15th birthday. An imaginative rebooting of the original tale, The Sleeping Beauties is a story of friendship that spans a thousand years and asks what is true beauty in a world where looks are only skin deep and can so easily be replaced."--Back cover.

    It is 1959. Charles Chaplin is 70 years old, talking across the years to the young Charlie Chaplin – the Little Tramp who was never allowed to speak in the silent movies. Now he has a voice, confronting his older self and revealing the passions and torments that formed his life. Charlie Chaplin was the very first icon of the silver screen and is one of the most recognisable faces in Hollywood. But what of the man behind the moustache? The director holding the camera as well as acting in front of it? The cockney boy  beneath the stage make-up? Born into poverty and hardship and in the absence of his father, he spent most of his childhood in and out of orphanages and workhouses. Charlie survived by making himself invulnerable. This exuberance later became part of his screen persona. The Little Tramp always picks himself up and walks jauntily into the distance.
