The
Spur on the Plate (Paperback)

Synopsis
1529 - The England/Scotland border
- a wild lawless place where families made their own law and stealing from each other was part of daily life. Meg and Rob
Armstrong despair at the hardships of their family, a family, until recently, rich, respected and probably feared by many,
for their uncle is the notorious Reiver, Johnnie Armstrong. Meg blames her father for the hard times as he will not ride out
and provide for them. She thinks him a coward and a layabout, yet her mother fiercely defends him. Headstrong and wilful,
as always, Meg decides to goad her father into action. But does she know the full facts of the situation? She makes her stand
but is shocked and terrified at the force of the reactions from all around her. Even her young brother Rob will not stand
by her side. She finds herself forced to ride out on a raid with her father's men. The raid goes badly wrong and Meg realises
that she has brought all those she loves into great danger. The lives of her father, her brother and her uncle, as well as
her own, are threatened. Remorse, guilt and fear and the disclosure of a family secret make Meg desperate to make amends.
But, is it too late?

 Decree of the Amulet Margaret Gill
ISBN: 1842940902 |
|
Decree
of the Amulet
|
Decree of the Amulet, tends to emphasize the magic content but the plot has all the drive
and acceleration of a thriller (with its explosive ending) and contains many of the key devices of short story writing for
children: a young reluctant hero, a series of mysteries, a challenge - everything from the suspense, the quest and the test!
In many ways it is akin to fairy tale and folkloric tales with its magic and the supernatural linked to the worldly.

The
Secret of the Rothley
|
I am not a young person any more, but that didn't matter here. This children's mystery novel
kept me turning the pages until the end. Margaret Gill knows how to tell a story and engage the reader with believable,
very human characters such as Laurie and the Murfitts, and I'm sure people who've read and enjoyed this, as I did, will eagerly
await her next book.

 Spilled Milk (Paperback) by Holly Goldstein
|
|
Spilled
Milk
|
Prior to writing my book, Spilled Milk I lived in a confused world of fear from
society ridicule. I stayed in an abusive relationship with my parents, because I too, just as many other abuse survivors,
feared society ridicule. What kind of daughter would I be if I separated my life from my parents? What kind of person
speaks ill of his or her very own parents? What kind of person tells of secrets that go on behind closed doors? How selfish
can I be if I can’t make the relationship between my parents and myself work? What kind of person am I? These are all
questions I asked myself.
I never once asked: What kind of parents beat their children for the sake of rage release? How
can a parents feel love for their child when they themselves live in a world of extreme anger, madness, and fury? How will
children prosper? How will the children learn to love, respect, and be part of society, even when that society ridicules a
survivor for walking away from an abusive relationship with a parent, partner, or spouse? Hence, the resuscitation of
my life and birth of Spilled Milk
