  New Book!<\/h4>\n

  Angel of Grasmere:from Dunkirk to the Fells
  \nBy Tom Palmer Published May 2024 Barrington Stoke.<\/p>\n

  July 1940<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Tarn struggles to come to terms with the loss of her beloved brother in the chaos of the British retreat at Dunkirk and she and her friends scour the hills around their Westmorland home, watching for any signs of the long-dreaded Nazi invasion.<\/p>\n

  But as the war drags on, with little good news from the front, the locals become aware of someone carrying out anonymous acts of kindness.\u00a0\u00a0With no one claiming credit, the village come to think of this unidentified stranger as a kind of guardian angel, but when his identity is finally revealed can Tarn come to terms with the truth\u2026?<\/p>\n

  \u201cIn the darkest of days, that\u2019s when the miracles begin\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

  \u201cIn this powerful new novel, Tom Palmer conveys the devastating impact of war both for those who fight on the frontlines and those who are left at home to worry and grieve. Angel of Grasmere is another brilliant example from Tom of how history can be brought vividly to life for young people today in a way that they can relate to and empathise with.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Ailsa Bathgate<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      NEW May 2024 – Rocky’s Big Move<\/h5>\n

      The exciting sequel in\u00a0The Soccer Diaries<\/span>\u00a0series starring Rocky Race, a British footballer looking to make it big.\u00a0<\/span>Rocky Race is going for goal – but what about her grades?<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Fourteen, hard as nails and magic on the pitch, Rocky Race is one of the best up and coming young footballers in the UK. But does she have what it takes to make it as a soccer <\/span>pro in California?<\/p>\n

      Rocky Race is living the dream: she’s won a scholarship to a prestigious high school in Los Angeles, where she gets to play soccer and train for going pro. She’s got an amazing best friend, and a supportive mum and brother back home in the UK. But living away from home isn’t easy, and fitting in with American kids in high school is scary and new. Not to mention she has to keep her grades up if she wants to stay on the pitch! Will Rocky survive high school?<\/span><\/p>\n
