Ten spine-tingling extracts - from 'Matilda' to 'Harry Potter'.
To herald the new millennium, and to celebrate the very best of 20th Century children's literature, we bring you a unique collection that is truly 'Out Of This World'.
Along with extracts from 'Matilda' and 'Harry Potter' we have the delightful 'Pongwiffy' and the 'Holiday Of Doom'. There are haunting gems such as Jenny Nimmo's 'The Owl Tree' and David Almond's 'Skellig', as well as contemporary fantasy and sci-fi from Kate Thompson's 'Switchers' and Andrew Norris's 'Aquila'.
All this, together with illustrations from James Mayhew and writing from Philip Ridley, Helen Cresswell and Robert Swindells, makes this an outstanding collection.
