Cliff
Be prepared to laugh and tear up at this hilarious, heart-warming friendship tale featuring a bird we all love to hate . . . the seagull! Lonely fisherman Cliff spends his time at the old lighthouse, until one day a bird lands on his head and refuses to leave. Cliff wasn’t sure at first. Then after a while, having a seagull on his head just felt right. Wherever Cliff's head went . . . the seagull went too. Cliff shares his home and food with the bird, much to the shock of the locals who believe it’s no more than a pest. But, during a storm, when Cliff needs its help the most, can his new friend come to the rescue? Told with gentle humour and emotional warmth, Cliff is a picture book about animal-human friendship, empathy and finding connection in unexpected places. This seagull may steal chips – but it will steal hearts too, including yours.

A Hateful Decision
'History as it should be written: as page-turning and compelling as the best thriller.'JAMES HOLLAND'A mesmerising account.'THE TIMES'Abel Smith takes us right into the heart of the drama. Utterly gripping.'AL MURRAY-Summer, 1940. Winston Churchill watches in horror as France falls to the Germans in just six weeks, completing the Nazi conquest of mainland Europe. He faces an urgent question: what will happen to the mighty French Navy? Under Hitler's control it presents a major threat, and could make the German advance unstoppable. With the Nazis closing in, Churchill orders Operation Catapult. By the end of one of the most agonising but necessary military operations of the war, the British will have destroyed a large part of the French Navy and nearly 1,300 French sailors will be dead. ‘This was a hateful decision, the most unnatural and painful in which I have ever been concerned... But no act was ever more necessary for the life of Britain and for all that depended upon it.’WINSTON CHURCHILLBased on extensive new research and rediscovered eyewitness accounts, A Hateful Decision tells for the first time the full story of the British attack on the French fleet at Mers el Kébir, on 3 July 1940.

Foes and Cons
Set in the convention world of the fictional show Vampire Falls, this is a story that celebrates the inclusivity of conventions, the passion of fandoms and meeting friends for life.

Now he can’t be within a five-meter radius of Eliza without taking the piss out of her Vampire Falls obsession. A TV show that he used to watch with her. Religiously. But Eliza can rejoice in her happy place: the annual Vampire Falls convention where she and superfan bestie, Roxy, can enjoy a weekend of guest Q&As and cosplay, safe from the judgement of others who just don’t understand their passion. Or that’s what she thinks, until guess-who shows up chaperoning his little sister. Not only that, but Eliza finds herself pitted against Charlie Chamberlain’s team in a once in a lifetime opportunity. Eliza and Roxy join forces with a feisty pensioner and a mysterious (possibly hot) guy in a werewolf costume to win the ultimate prize: an all-expenses paid trip to San Diego Comic Con. But with the stress of uni looming and the past rearing its ugly head, Eliza finds her sanctuary crumbling at every scheduled panel and themed party. Will Charlie Chamberlain ruin the one weekend Eliza lives for, or is that bubbling feeling in the pit of her stomach not actually hatred after all?

Through the stories of thirty-nine everyday places and objects, Renay Richardson and Arisa Loomba unpick the threads of the history that we never learned in school, revealing the truth of how Britain's present is bound to a darker past. Taking us from art galleries to football stands, banks to hospitals, from grand country houses to the backs of our kitchen cupboards, Human Resources is an eye-opening inquiry that gives a voice to the enslaved people who built modern Britain.
