Cameron Battle and the Hidden Kingdoms
£6.99Cameron Battle and the Hidden Kingdoms
Cameron Battle grew up reading The Book of Chidani, cherishing stories about the fabled kingdom that cut itself off from the world to save the Igbo people from danger. Passed down over generations, the Book is Cameron’s only connection to his parents, who disappeared one fateful night two years ago. Ever since, his grandmother has kept the Book locked away, but it calls to Cameron. When he and his best friends, Zion and Aliyah, decide to open it again, they are magically transported to Chidani. Instead of a land of beauty and wonder, they find a kingdom in extreme danger, as the queen’s sister seeks to destroy the barrier between worlds. The people of Chidani have been waiting for the last Descendant to return and save them. Is Cameron ready to be the hero they need?

In search of Sheba
£12.99In search of Sheba
In 1959, Barbara Toy set out to drive from Libya to Ethiopia. Alone, she crossed the Sahara Desert and the equatorial forests of the Congo before ascending the highlands of Haile Selassie’s empire. Her Ethiopian travels took her from modern Addis Ababa to the ancient ruins of Aksum, through bandit-ridden countryside to the summit of Mount Wehni – where male heirs to the emperor were traditionally imprisoned for life – on a quest to explore the legend of the Queen of Sheba. Full of good humour and grit, ‘In Search of Sheba’ chronicles a remarkable feat of endurance and adventure.
