        MAVIS'S SHOE

        by Sue Reid Sexton

        About this novel: Mavis’s Shoe is the dramatic and moving story of Lenny Gillespie, a young girl who lives through the bombing of her town during WW2. Feisty and resolute by nature and not given to suffering fools gladly, it is left to Lenny to search for her mother and beloved sister Mavis who she loses in the mayhem of survival. This is a strong character-driven novel about the trauma of war and its effect on the family. In this passionate well-told tale of Lenny’s extraordinary courage and determination in the face of danger, the reader can expect a wide range of emotions: fear, grief and anger as well as courage, laughter and joy. Lenny confronts the things she most fears, the things she saw during the bombing and that no-one should ever see. She pleads with adults to help her and tries to behave the way she ought, but finally in frustration is forced to return to the disaster area alone, leading to the book’s dramatic conclusion. This novel is an ideal resource for teachers, set as it is in wartime during one of the most tragic events in Scotland’s history. Viewing the horror of the Clydebank Blitz from the unique perspective of a child allows for plenty of exploration around the subject of war. Written to present the universal experience of being bombed, it has relevance to the historical past but also to current world conflicts. Entirely historically accurate, it also paints a realistic picture of the home front of the time. Mavis’s Shoe is ideal for both young adults and adults of all ages. A teacher’s pack for the book is available from the Scottish Book Trust.   The Clydebank Blitz: On the nights of 13 and 14 March 1941, the shipbuilding town of Clydebank suffered the worst destruction and loss of civilian life in all of Scotland during the Second World War when over 4,000 German bombs were dropped on the town. During the bombing raids most of Clydebank was destroyed (only 7 houses remained undamaged out of 12,000) and more than 500 people died (many estimate this number to be much higher), while over 600 were seriously injured and many more maimed by blast debris.

        Petros' War Graphic Novel

        by Alki Zei; Angeliki Darlasi (adapt.), Dimitris Mastoros

        Alki Zei, the legendary novelist, has shaped modern Greek literature and children’s fiction like none other. Petros’ war, one of her monumental novels, that has been translated in 11 languages, is being transformed into a graphic novel, with her own blessing before her recent passing. With respect to the original text and its spirit and atmosphere, Angeliki Darlasi and Dimitris Mastoros adapt this classic work of Greek literature for the new generation.   Petros, a nine year old boy, is very sad because his cricket is dead. His elder sister, Antigone, wants to give him the box of her bracelet for burying it. Petros prefers to squeeze it in the crevice of the girder. But he doesn’t have the time. The next morning he is waken up abruptly by his mother. “Wake up and get ready. There is war! Can’t you listen to the sirens?” It is the 28th of October 1940. Petros knows about the war in his books. He is thrilled by heroes, shields, swords and victories. Is it the same in reality? Young Petros lives the war, occupation and resistance together with his parents, his sister, his grandfather and his turtle, Theodore. We follow him in his long walk with all the real adventures that take place between October 1940 and October 1944, when Greece was liberated.

        Aboard the Bulger

        by Ann Scott Moncrieff, illustrated by C. L. Davidson

        Five children escape from a Children’s Home, run away and steal a boat, which they sail around the Outer Hebrides.   The book had a huge print run from London Methuen, but their warehouses were bombed in 1940 in Paternoster Row; 5 million books were lost in the fires caused by tens of thousands of incendiary bombs. Consequently, there were very few copies in circulation. This is the resurrection of a successful children’s adventure story.

        Elizabeth and the Secret of the Water of Life

        by Peter Goljiski

        Narnia meets Hobbit in a fantasy adventure inspired by Bulgarian and Slavic myths, folklore and history. Fate always gives you a way out once it has decided to put you to the test. Elizabeth is a girl like everyone else: she goes to school, she likes playing with friends and her favorite color is pink. What she really aspires to is to become famous for her videos, which she is going to make for her future YouTube channel (in case her father gave her his phone and allowed her to start a channel, of course!). As you can guess, she is not always obedient - a very ordinary nine-year-old girl. However, one night everything changes. The Light Mistress comes to Betty and reveals to her that her mother is ill. To save her, the girl must embark on a dangerous journey through unfamiliar lands in search of Living Water. Only it has the power to help her dying mother. Betty sets off. On her way she comes across both faithful friends and evil beings (which we believe that exist only in fairy tales), she has to overcome a number of obstacles, and is often supported by unexpected allies. Will she be able to achieve her goal? Well, you can find the answer to this question by yourself!

        The Book of THE CELTS. Old Myths & Legends

        by Ariel Pytrell

        The stories collected in this book are a sample of the power and colour from the world that the Celts saw with their own eyes many centuries ago, a reflection of the worldview of these peoples: the arrival of the gods, the adventures of Cuchulainn, the rise of Finn mac Cumhal among the Fiana, the madness and love of the original Merlin, the birth of who would be King Arthur, and many other legends. If our fascination beats at the core of these stories, it is because they are still alive and are part of the cultural substratum of what we call "the Western World" in its deeper expression.

        RUE END STREET

        by Sue Reid Sexton

        About this book: The sequel to Mavis’s Shoe, Rue End Street is a wartime novel about the Scots-Italians in World War II, separation, loss and being part of a family. It is September 1943, more than two years since Lenny’s world was devastated by the Clydebank Blitz and she and her family are safe in the beautiful green hut community of Carbeth, Scotland. But as the tides of war turn and Italy joins the Allies to fight the Nazis, the fists of war and fear are set to grab Lenny once more. Adversity threatens each moment, and Lenny is about to lose her closest ally. Told the family must move back to Clydebank with its smoke and factories and now overcrowded, teeming dwellings, Lenny refuses to give up her rural sanctuary. When her mother Peggy returns to Clydebank for a job, leaving Lenny to become a little mother to her siblings, Lenny lies about her age to look for work locally. But this new turn is bewildering. Exhausted, Lenny seizes on news of her father, convinced that if only she can discover the truth about where he is, if only she can find him, she can make their family complete again. But no-one will meet her eye. Desperate, and in need of a happy ending, Lenny sets out, but all is not as she hopes… Her steps take her the length of the great Clyde estuary, and into new dangers in the vast, dark, threatening and adult war-time ports of Helensburgh and Greenock...
