Oliver Bowden

Blurb:
'I am an expert swordsman. And I am skilled in the business of death. I take no pleasure in my skill. Simply, I am good at it.'

With no family, he is taken in by a mysterious tutor who trains him to become a deadly killer. Consumer by his thirst for revenge, Haytham begins a quest for retribution, trusting no one and questioning everything he has ever known.

Conspiracy and betrayal surround him as he is drawn into the centuries-old battle between the Assassins and the Templars.

The Creeper - Wicked! Part Five (Paul Jennings & Morris Gleitzman)


The Creeper - Wicked! Part Five
Paul Jennings & Morris Gleitzman

Blurb: 'There he is,' Gramps shrieked. 'The spy. The scumbag spy.'

I looked up and saw a monstrous white hairy face disappear into the drain. I had never seen such a frightening sight. White hair covered its entire head. I couldn't even see any eyes.

In a flash Gramps splashed into the drain after it.

It's WICKED! It won't go. And it's bringing you closer to the end.

Grope - Deadly! #5 (Morris Gleitzman & Paul Jennings)


Grope - Deadly! #5
Morris Gleitzman & Paul Jennings

Blurb: I grabbed the phone out of its cradle, hit the button and put it to my ear. 

And nearly fainted.

I could hear moans. And heavy breathing. And people trying to talk with what sounded like gags over their mouths...

'It's Mum and Sprocket,' I sobbed to Con Rod and Purple Cloud. 'I think they're being tortured.'
