Imagine a box. Imagine putting all the dark aspects of yourself, all the things you would rather no-one knew about you, into that box and imagine closing the lid. Now...you feel better already, don't you? Redman was a top detective on the force before he suffered a psychotic episode. Doctor Georgina Barnes is a respected psychiatric consultant attempting to guide Redman back to mental health. Redman finds his old instincts as a cop invaluable when a fellow inmate falls to his death from the hospital roof. Did the poor guy jump, as everyone assumes, or was he pushed? And why are the hospital authorities so keen to avoid an inquiry? Redman's quest for the truth brings him into conflict with Doctor Georgina, the other patients on the ward and even his own psyche. Redman battles his symptoms in order to uncover the truth about the man who fell from the roof. Everyone on the ward is a suspect, even Redman himself. To solve the mystery, he must face his own demons. He must open the box.

Eight brand new stories for children from British author Jon Kenna. Strange things are happening in the seaside town in which Susan lives. The seagulls have grown tired of begging for food from humans and have taken control of the promenade. Most of the grown-ups have run away screaming in terror. Eight-year-old Susan is not running away. She enlists the help of mysterious odd job man Mister Sixty in order to save the town from danger. The pair go on to face such weird threats as rebellious TV sets, out-of-control baths, and giant goldfish in order to defend the sleepy coastal town. Finally, they must pit their wits against The Happysad in order to win the battle once and for all. The stories are exciting, funny and heart-warming and will captivate children from eight years old and upward.
