        The Fourth Horseman

        by Kate Thompson

        Should you believe what you see with your own eyes, even if it can’t be explained? When Laurie is arrested for setting fire to her father’s research lab she’s unsure what to say in her defence. Should she say that she’s an animal rights activist? Or should she tell the whole story, about the mysterious horsemen that she saw in the woods, and the terrifying truth which lay behind their appearance? In the eyes of the police she is a criminal, but Laurie knows that she’s a hero. Kate Thompson is the winner of The Whitbread Children’s Book Award and the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize, and four times winner of the Irish Children’s Book of the Year Award.

        The Last of the High Kings

        by Kate Thompson

        The young hero of the award-winning The New Policeman is now an adult, and his own children are already dispaying their own types of eccentric behaviour, particularly eleven-year-old Jenny, who dislikes shoes and forgets to go to school, and spends as mcuh time as she can up on the hilltop, talking to a ghost. 'Her re-imagining of Irish folklore playfully braids modern life with ancient magic, as she poses intelligent questions about the nature of man and stewardship of the environment.' - Publishers Weekly
