Physik: Septimus Heap Book Three

When Silas Heap unseals a forgotten room in the Palace, he releases the ghost of a Queen who lived five hundred years earlier. Queen Etheldredda is as awful in death as she was in life, and she's still up to no good. Her diabolical plan to give herself ever-lasting life requires Jenna's compliance, Septimus's disappearance, and the talents of her son, Marcellus Pye, a famous Alchemist and Physician. And if Queen Etheldredda's plot involves Jenna and Septimus, then dark adventure awaits.

With heart-stopping action and endless wit, Angie Sage continues the fantastical journey of Septimus Heap.

Andy Griffiths

Illustrated by Terry Denton

RRP: $14.99

The Big Fat Cow that goes Kapow

More rhyming mayhem and comic madness from the bestselling duo of the inspired JUST! series. Andy Griffiths' rhyming text - that will entice and engage the most reluctant child to read while laughing all the way - is hilariously counterpointed by Terry Denton's delightfully wonky illustrations. A side-splitting companion to the award-winning and Children's Book Council shortlisted title, The Cat on the Mat is Flat.

Our Price: $19.95

Dora the Explorer

A companion album to the hit Nick, Jr. animated TV show of the same name, Dora the Explorer follows the antics of the lovable title character and her friends as they embark on fun-filled adventures and sing lively songs.

Estrellas!" or Una Dia Especial, where they celebrate "a special day." The energetic tunes here are rarely much longer than one minute, making the album perfect for small children with easily diverted attention spans. For young fans of the television program, this CD is a must-have!

The Alchemyst

Michael Scott

RRP: $17.95

The Alchemyst

An ancient book is lost and the modern world could be ripped apart at the seams.

Nicholas Flamel was born in Paris on 28 September 1330. Nearly seven hundred years later, he is acknowledged as the greatest Alchemyst of his day. It is said that he discovered the secret of eternal life. The records show that he died in 1418. But his tomb is empty and Nicholas Flamel lives.

The secret of eternal life is hidden within the book he protects - the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. And that's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. Humankind won't know what's happening until it's too late. And if the prophecy is right, Sophie and Josh Newman are the only ones with the power to save the world as we know it. Sometimes legends are true. And Sophie and Josh Newman are about to find themselves in the middle of the greatest legend of all time.

The Magician

Michael Scott

RRP: $29.95

The Magician

California: In the hands of Dr. John Dee, the book of Abraham the Mage could mean the destruction of the world as we know it . . . and Dee is two pages away from the knowledge that would bring the Dark Elders into ultimate power. His only obstacle? Josh and Sophie Newman, 8,000 miles away.

Paris: After fleeing Ojai, Nicholas, Sophie, Josh, and Scatty emerge in Paris. Only Nicholas's homecoming is anything but sweet. Perenelle is still locked up in Alcatraz, Paris is burning, and Niccolo Machiavelli is after them. Time is running out for Nicholas and Perenelle, because every day spent without the book they age one year.

For Flamel, the Prophecy is becoming more and more clear. It's time for Sophie to learn the second elemental magic from Flamel's old student the Comte de Saint Germain - alchemist, fire magician, and rock star.

Josh and Sophie Newman are the world's only hope. If they don't turn on each other first.
