Sophie Mercer's first term at Hex Hall turned out to be quite eventful. First the ghost of her evil grandmother haunted her every move, then her best friend was accused of murder & of course there was the discovery that Archer Cross, aka the boy of her dreams, was actually an undercover demon hunter
- which would probably be something she could have worked on, if she hadn't also discovered that she was actually the demon Archer was hunting... So, despite their issues, Sophie is actually relieved to be spending the summer in London with her father. But when your father is Head of The Council of Prodigium & your summer is being spent at the headquarters of everything magical, then a quiet holiday isn't really that likely. &, as Sophie struggles to come to terms with her new found demon powers, she finds herself thrust once again into a world of dark magic & conspiracies. The only thing that could possibly make things more complicated would be for Archer Cross to show up again, which of course he wouldn't, would he? This book has 359 pages & is 19.7cm x 13cm x 2.3cm

Being a Rambling Man was what I always wanted to be, to live the way I damn well pleased. I've met the weirdest & most wonderful people who walk the Earth, seen the most bizarre & the most fantastic sights
- & I've rarely come across something I couldn't get a laugh at. I don't think I've ever had a bad trip. Well, apart from in the 1970s, but that's a whole other story... When Billy set out from Glasgow as a young man he never looked back. He played his banjo on boats & trains, under trees, & on top of famous monuments. He danced naked in snow, wind & fire. He slept in bus stations, under bridges & on strangers' floors. He travelled by foot, bike, ship, plane, sleigh
- even piggy-backed

Raj, The Making And Unmaking Of British India By Lawrence James,
History & Nostalgia Book

This is the brilliantly told story of one of the wonders of the modern world - how in less than a hundred years the British made themselves masters of India. They ruled it for another hundred, departing in 1947, leaving behind the independent states of India and Pakistan. British rule taught Indians to see themselves as Indians and its benefits included railways, hospitals, law and a universal language. But the Raj, outwardly so monolithic and magnificent, was always precarious. Its masters knew that it rested ultimately on the goodwill of Indians. This is a new look at a subject rich in incident and character; the India of the Raj was that of Clive, Kipling, Curzon and Gandhi and a host of lesser known others. RAJ will provoke debate, for it sheds new light on Mountbatten and the
events of 1946-47 which ended an exercise in benign autocracy and an experiment in altruism. This book has 736 pages and is 12.7 x 19.8 x 4.5 cm
