Once there was a lighthouse keeper called Mr. Grinling. At night time he lived in a small white cottage perched high on the cliffs, and in the daytime he rowed out to his lighthouse to clean and polish the light. When Mr Grinling decides he needs a hobby, he tries everything from baking to birdwatching. But one morning, a stroll along the beach inspires Mr Grinling to take up something very different... and before too long Mr Grinling surprises everyone by learning to surf! The first Lighthouse Keeper story, THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER'S LUNCH, was published over thirty years ago and his adventures have been loved by children ever since. It is now a modern picture book classic.

'Thalia doesn't want to go to Madame Aquila's Academy. She can't get any of her spells right, or even use the crystal ball. And the only thing she can do with her broomstick is sweep! Poor Thalia would give anything to go to plain old Ferntree Primary School with Lyneve and Tracy Dobbs from next door. But on graduation day, just as Thalia is about to become an official failure, she discovers she has at least one talent that no-one has noticed and Madame Aquila had better watch out!'
