        Soapy’s World

        by Aidi Vallik, Lumimari

        White Raven 2021Soapy’s name isn’t really Soapy – that’s just what people call her because more than anything else in the world, she loves blowing soap bubbles. Soapy got her very first bubble-blower when Mom came home from her job abroad for a few days. Dad had already left home by then – Soapy and her little brother are cared for by their grandmother. Whenever she blows bubbles, Soapy forgets that Mom and Dad no longer live together, that Mom is always sad and far away, and that no one has the time to notice her problems anymore. Blowing bubbles is great, because the soap bubbles you blow only take from the real world what you like and what gives you joy.

        Sheeple

        A political romantic comedy erotic crime drama thriller....with some sheep in it, obviously!

        by Andy Frazier

        Some way into the future, when man has self-destructed, the world now populated solely by sheep. Yes, I know it sounds ridiculous but if you transpose a world full of sheep into the current world which is actually, er full of sheep – well people acting like sheep, anyway – you get SHEEPLE.  SHEEPLE After the holocaust, the only life left on earth was with a few simple sheep in one of its deepest corners. For a while it stayed that way but then, finding themselves at the top of the food chain, evolution nudged them on a little bit, until we catch up with them a millennium or so later. Now the evil Daynik and his sidekick run the world from the Ovine office with the help of a few Dollys, and everything is going ticketty-boo, thank you very much. Well it was, until a badly written novel started to create a stir amongst the Dolly ranks, who are now getting ideas. With reports of mutilation and hacking amongst the clones, the Burdoch Corporation printing true stories, and one of the back-benchers making noises about legalising grass, things start to get a bit out of hand for the Prime Muttoneer. Will our sheep-hero, Archie Woventight, uncover the cover-ups? Who really did write 50 Blades of Hay? Where is this Scoutland, where grass grows in meadows? And who is this mysterious Alex? A man?

        Bionics – Medicine and Cosmetics #15

        by Bernd Hill (Author& Illustrator)

        We are constantly looking for new medicines to treat deadly diseases such as cancer, diabetes and strokes. To do this, pharmaceutical researchers rely on ingredients from nature: plants and animals alike are important sources for new pharmaceutical products. The cosmetic industry is also discovering important ingredients in the rainforests. For example, skin creams that are developed from oily fruits, seeds and palm trees or new fragrances created from various orchid species. This book introduces many interesting examples, where nature and its ingredients furthered the invention of medical and cosmetic products.

        Two Nordic Short Novels

        by Ana Flecha Marco

        The title of the book, Two Nordic Short Novels, signals to the reader exactly what to expect: two short fictions set in Scandinavia.  These stories are not only linked by length and latitude but also by the fact that they are a sheer delight to read. Story of Ø tells the tale of the handful of inhabitants left living on a tiny island in the Norwegian Sea, which is sinking inexorably due to climate change.  The islanders decide to try and conserve the collective memory of the land that has been their home for so many generations; a memory that lies in the objects and traditions that have shaped their personal and shared landscape. Mancha vividly conjures up the impressions of young woman as she arrives in Flekke, a small Norwegian village, to teach Spanish.  The village is populated by a kaleidoscopic range of inhabitants whom the teacher grows to understand as she interacts with them day by day.  The story unfolds with a refreshing lightness of touch, mixing humour and insight into cultural diversity with subtlety and skill.

        An Epic Family Journey to the Heart of the Himalaya

        by Bruce Kirkby

        One morning at breakfast, while gawking at his phone and feeling increasingly disconnected from family and everything else of importance in his world, it strikes writer Bruce Kirkby: This isn’t how he wants to live. Within days, plans begin to take shape. Bruce, his wife Christine, and their two children – seven-year-old Bodi and three-year-old Taj – will cross the Pacific by container ship, then travel onward through South Korea, China, India, and Nepal aboard bus, riverboat, and train, eventually traversing the Himalaya by foot. Their destination: a thousand-year-old Buddhist monastery in the remote Zanskar valley, one of the last places where Tibetan Buddhism is still practiced freely in its original setting.   In this refuge, where ancient traditions intersect with the modern world, Kirkby discovers ways to slow down, to observe and listen, and ultimately, to better understand his son on the autism spectrum – to surrender all expectations and connect with Bodi exactly as he is.   Recounted with wit and humility, Blue Sky Kingdom is an engaging travel memoir as well as a thoughtful exploration of modern distraction, the loss of ancient wisdom, and the challenges and rewards of intercultural friendships.

        by Ann Scott Moncrieff, illustrated by C. L. Davidson

        Five children escape from a Children’s Home, run away and steal a boat, which they sail around the Outer Hebrides.   The book had a huge print run from London Methuen, but their warehouses were bombed in 1940 in Paternoster Row; 5 million books were lost in the fires caused by tens of thousands of incendiary bombs. Consequently, there were very few copies in circulation. This is the resurrection of a successful children’s adventure story.
