The Inkwell Chronicles: Race to Krakatoa, Book 2

Mystery and danger abound in book two of The Inkwell Chronicles, a fast-paced middle-grade fantasy series about magic ink, a secret society, and a boy who learns to make his mark.

In book two of The Inkwell Chronicles, Everett and his little sister Bea find themselves drawn even more deeply into the secret world of the Inklings, those who seek to protect the world's rapidly diminishing supply of magic Ink. When a miraculous new type of ink called Inkanto begins to appear around the world, initial celebration soon gives way to suspicions about its mysterious origins. As the race to find and control the world's supply of Ink intensifies, signs begin to appear that not is all that it seems. Will the siblings and their fellow Inklings be able to uncover the truth in time? Fans of The Silver Arrow, The Bookwanderers, and Inkheart will love this classic battle of good and evil that pits creativity against the forces that would seek to blot it out for good.

You Come from Greatness: A Celebration of Black History: A Picture Book

You Come from Greatness: A Celebration of Black History: A Picture Book

A young boy learns that he is walking in the footsteps of greatness through a vibrant, lyrical retelling of Black history—both a love letter to Black children and an anthem empowering them to know their God-given worth.

You came bustling into the world, a mighty bundle of energy, ready to do great things. And no wonder. You stand on the shoulders of those who came before, and you, too, were born to shine.

Starting with his birth, the boy's father lays out the history of his son's ancestry: from the love and warmth of a big family, to the change makers and status shakers, the inventors and engineers, the astronomers, philosophers, and storytellers, the leaders and the doctors. The father details the legacy and impact of Black ancestors whose determination, strength, dedication, creativity, and leadership contributed to making the world better.

Throughout the story, the boy discovers the rich heritage of those that have gone before him and learns how he embodies that same greatness. He, too, has the power to change the world by embracing exactly who God made him to be.

You Come from Greatness includes illustrations of Black historical figures such as Wangari Muta Maathai, Ellie Mannette, Rebecca Lee Crumpler, and more, with twenty short biographies at the end of the book.

Little Lucy Small and Shy

Little Lucy Small and Shy

Little Lucy is shy and so she hides away from people and animals.

Through an adventure in the woodland, and with the help of her friends the birds, Lucy learns that she can be brave and adventurous. She gains confidence in being herself. Quotes from Scripture affirm that God knows each of us and He is with us always.

Ann Goddard, the author, has a degree in zoology and has taught science and biology at high school.

She has also worked at an outdoor Environmental Centre. The story shares her passion for nature, her belief in a loving caring God of creation, and helping children to become confident in themselves so that they can fulfil their potential.

This book was written to inspire self-confidence in children and especially to encourage girls to be adventurous; to affirm God's love for us and to inspire an awareness of wildlife. The story can be read straight through as secular fiction, but three illustrated plates with quotes from the Bible throw God's perspective on the story.

Characters and illustrations in the story are from UK wildlife and the book includes a small section of Nature Notes for parents to read and share with their children.
