If you go down to the woods today... Eleven-year-old Bella Bright has invited her three best friends to visit her new cottage, which stands in the shadows of a ruined manor house. As they explore, Bella thinks she catches a glimpse of a pale face in one of the empty windows...who could it be? Things go from spooky to scary when they get lost in a hedge maze, and find themselves hurled back in time by the mysteriously burnt willow tree growing at the centre. Now trapped in 17th century England, Bella must uncover the mystery of how the manor was destroyed, find out whose face she saw at the window, and try to get herself and her friends back home to their own time before they are stuck in the past forever.

In this book from the highly acclaimed Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the incredible life of Jürgen Klopp, the game-changing soccer manager and inspirational leader. Little Jürgen grew up in a village in Germany’s Black Forest and spent most of his time watching or playing soccer. As a small child, Jürgen listened to matches on the car radio, making tactical suggestions only to hear them implemented moments later! As an adult, he spent ten years as a professional soccer player, before deciding his future lay off the pitch. Jürgen successfully managed German teams Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund to multiple victories, and then became the manager of Liverpool Football Club in England. Within just five years he had made them champions of England, Europe and the world.
