by Robert Dodds
Dead Wood
Holly’s family move to the old house so her dad can do his job: bulldozing the ancient trees to make way for a housing estate. But there’s something haunting the old house. Something old, and angry, that doesn’t want the trees cut down. Something alive...
Drawing a Veil
Ellie and Amina are best friends. But when Amina decides to start wearing the hijab, it attracts the attention of the bullies. Does it matter if best friends have different beliefs? A thought-provoking story about friendship, culture and modern life.
Zero to Hero
Will is football mad, but he’s the shortest boy in the year, and one of the slowest. He knows his skills at passing and ball control could make up for his lack of size, but the team coach is looking for fast players. Will he ever get a chance to show what he can do?
