This is a story that could only have come from the imagination of Russell Hoban! Brought vividly to life by picture book great Quentin Blake. This story begins with an ice-lolly stick. Its sweetness gone it lies discarded & lonely...until a little girl called Rosie comes along. She places it carefully in her cigar box full of other sticks. Without our ice-lollies we are nothing " says an old stick. But new stick wants to BE something & into the minds of all the old sticks he plants dreams...maybe they can be something too. What about Rosie & her dreams that night? She dreams of helping her parents pay the bills. & so at the stroke of midnight magic & dreams collide & a HORSE gallops out of the cigar box! His name is Stickerino. " Where to?" he asks Rosie. " Anywhere with treasure!" she answers & hops on its back. Then begins an adventure like no other...ice-lolly mountains by the sea caskets of gold & pirates foiled by a stickling ice-cream van... Inventive & original this is a gem from the upside-down imaginative landscape of Russell Hoban. Quentin Blakes hallmark illustration style breathes energy & mischeviousness into something as small & ordinary as a disused ice-lolly stick. If an ice-lolly stick can be a horse...then YOU can be anything you wish to be! This beautiful edition is jacketed." ...

Rosie Project

Marvellous". (John Boyne author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas). "Adorable...A gem of a book". (Marian Keyes). The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is a story about love life and lobsters...Meet Don Tillman. Don is getting married. He just doesn't know who to yet. But he has designed a very detailed questionnaire to help him find the perfect woman. One thing he already knows though is that it's not Rosie. Absolutely completely definitely not. Telling the story of Rosie and Don Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project is an international phenomenon sold in over thirty countries - and counting. Don Tillman is a socially challenged genetics professor who's decided the time has come to find a wife. His questionnaire is intended to weed out anyone who's unsuitable. The trouble is Don has rather
high standards and doesn't really do flexible so despite lots of takers - he looks like Gregory Peck - he's not having much success in identifying The One. When Rosie Jarman comes to his office Don assumes it's to apply for the Wife Project - and duly discounts her on the grounds she smokes drinks doesn't eat meat and is incapable of punctuality. However Rosie has no interest in becoming Mrs Tillman and is actually there to enlist Don's assistance in a professional capacity: to help her find her biological father. Sometimes though you don't find love: love finds you...Like The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is a truly distinctive debut. With the charm of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and the romance of David Nicholls'
One Day it's both funny and endearing - and is set to become the feel-good novel of 2013...Graeme Simsion is a full-time writer. Previously an IT consultant and educator he wrote his first book in 1994 (the standard reference on data modelling now entering its fourth edition) and is married to Anne a professor of psychiatry who writes erotic fiction.
