Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek God. Percy Jackson was just a normal kid, going to school, skateboarding, the usual. Until he accidentally vaporized his maths teacher. That's when things really started going wrong. Percy's had some pretty hair-raising adventures - battling rancid-smelling minotaurs, foul-mouthed gods and deciding the fate of the entire world on his sixteenth birthday. Now, for the first time, you can discover everything there is to know about Percy Jackson in this ultimate guide to monsters, Greek gods, weapons, Camp Half-Blood and much more...

When Mrs Starch, the most feared biology teacher in Florida, goes missing during a school trip to the Black Vine Swamp, her class is secretly relieved. The school principal tries to cover it up as a 'family emergency', but Nick and Marta just aren't convinced. They think it's much more likely to have something to do with Smoke, the local troublemaker - whose run-ins with Mrs Starch are infamous - and decide to do some investigating of their own. But there's more going on in Black Vine Swamp than either one of them could guess. And Nick and Marta must see off an eccentric eco-avenger, a stuffed rat named Chelsea, a crooked oil prospector, a singing substitute teacher, and an angry Florida panther before they really begin to see the big picture.

"Everybody says you and Colin were kissing." "What? That's ridiculous!" "For heaven's sake, Joe, if you and Colin want to kiss, you have every right to." "We did not kiss," I told her. Addie shrugged. "Whatever." What was it with my friends? From the creator of "The Misfits," the book that inspired NATIONAL NO NAME-CALLING WEEK, comes the story of Joe Bunch....
Review: "A character that lives and breathes with all the inconsistencies, fears, and longings of your normal, average seventh-grade homosexual."

We were in the square, in the square where I'd run, holding her, carrying her, telling her to stay alive, stay alive till we got safe, till we got to Haven so I could save her - But there weren't no safety, no safety at all, there was just him and his men. Fleeing before a relentless army, Todd has carried a desperately wounded Viola right into the hands of their worst enemy, Mayor Prentiss. Immediately separated from Viola and imprisoned, Todd is forced to learn the ways of the Mayor's new order.
But what secrets are hiding just outside of town? And where is Viola? Is she even still alive? And who are the mysterious Answer?
And then, one day, the bombs begin to explode... The Ask and the Answer is a tense, shocking and deeply moving novel of resistance under the most extreme pressure.
Prizes: Winner of Costa Children's Book Award 2009. Shortlisted for Booktrust Teenage Prize 2009.
