Hammers, Rammers, Jammers, ScammersThe most famous hardware man in the world (well, maybe) returns with his eclectic bunch of staff and dysfunctional customers in this short "equel" to How Much for a Little Screw?As if things aren't bad enough, a gang of roaming conmen and women descend upon Little Sniffingham and threaten to strip and plunder, sparing no one. Feeling helpless, he is determined to find a way of combating the rogues, but no one knows who they are, nor how and where they will strike next, and it isn't long before the victims begin dropping like flies.Sharon: "This job ain't just about keeping shop - it's about keeping friends."This episode is a cocktail of highs and lows.

Based on true stories ... Strippers, grippers, knickers, knockers, nippers, nipples and ballcocks. You can buy anything in the local hardware shop-well almost. It's the legendary Aladdin's cave with fixes for everything from a leaking pipe, a shattered groyne, a wobbly bladder (-er, that should be ladder) to a broken heart. And some remedies are not so easy to find, such as the cure for a case of the potentially lethal bad HED. But in the provincial town of Little Sniffingham the predators are looming like scheming forces of evil, determined to pillage and plunder the town centre, smashing shopkeepers aside in their wake. This book is one man's memoir-a treasure trove of anecdotes, some tinged with humour, others with disappointment, some are downright bizarre-his guide to observing life from behind a shop counter. We all know him: he's the innocent looking chap in the DIY shop who listens with sympathy and understanding to all your problems ... and maybe writes them down.

It's 1915: conflict comes ashore, and a girl becomes a woman. Amy's world is a cold and inhospitable one of treacherous cliffs and lethal tides that can trap the unwary. The hostile villagers think that she doesn't understand much, but she knows more about that coastline than anyone else there. The unpredictability of the sea brings both loss and discovery into Amy's life that changes it forever. The storm takes the one person she truly loves and yet brings her a stranger that transforms her childhood innocence into the passionate reality of a young woman. The danger is that the year is 1915, England is at war, and the stranger is German. Includes links for the following: High-resolution mapFurther readingInterview with the authorReading Group Guide
