This lively and fun-loving lady, Helen George, has put together a collection of poems that reflect her childhood growing up in the Manchester area.

Helen was born in 1965 in Sale, Cheshire, to Margaret & Michael Horn, both also from Sale. Her brother Richard was born in 1964. This book is dedicated to HelenÕs late father who sadly passed away from HuntingtonÕs Disease in 2016.

Sadly, Helen has inherited HuntingtonÕs Disease from her dad, but she doesnÕt let it stop her living her life as best she can. The book is also dedicated to her late mother from whom she inherited her cheeky northern humour, which often crops up in the book.

The poetry within the book depicts how people close to her, while too many to name they know who they are, have greatly touched her life and left footprints on her heart.

£1 from every copy sold will go towards my local HuntingtonÕs Disease support group.

Kids love the newest “Worst” tale-
Format: Hardcover
Kids will love this next book in The Worst series. Awesome, fun, colorful illustrations in this tale with Gilbert the Goblin trying to escape cupids and valentines. Instead of candy for Valentine’s Day give the gift of this book. My students love when Alex Willan has a new book out and are loving this one.

Plenty of fun for Gilbert fans!
Format: Hardcover
As in previous books in the series, Gilbert the Goblin complains about the problems he sees with Valentine's Day, what he calls 'mushy malarkey'. Young readers who don't care for the holiday will find much to relate to in the book. Although, Gilbert's complaints seem a tad trifling. Coconut chocolates are 'Blech'. He seems to have a special issue with the cupid's 'perfect', 'beautiful', and 'luxurious' hair. When Gilbert faces off with a group of cupids, he just barely manages to escape their love arrows, or so he thinks until he backs into a cactus in his own yard and believes he has been pricked by one such love arrow. He then becomes a goblin full of love. He loves his spells, his potions, even himself, but not coconut chocolates. He even welcomes his friends over to celebrate before bidding his pet sock slugs a fond goodnight. Good thing the love spell wears off. This funny book follows the pattern of the previous five books, but the addition of adorable cupids as well as Gilbert's beloved cactuses and pet sock slugs provides plenty of freshness as Gilbert once again (reluctantly) joins in the festivities. Plenty of fun for young fans of the series.
