Les neuf vies du chat Montezuma

Official World Book Day £1 book

 From Michael Morpurgo, co-founder of the charity Farms for City Children, this charming story for early readers evokes the wonder, muck and magic of a week on the farm. The first of many Farm Tales to come, it is a window onto the countryside, and the way its landscape and animals can leave an impression on a child's heart forever.

 'You're farmers for a week, so you'll be busy. There'll be no time to miss home. You'll eat like kings and queens, sleep like logs, and you'll hardly be out of your wellies, except in bed.' When a young boy goes from the city to stay on the farm, he discovers a world he never knew existed - a world of vegetable gardens, ducks and geese, where the sheep graze in the fields, where apples and pears grow in the orchard. He also meets Jemima the pig: she smells and she slobbers, she breaks out of her pen to steal potatoes, and she's the undisputed queen of the farm. Soon, he's hiding acorns in his pockets to feed to her every time he sees her. But then, Jemima starts to feel ill. Could she have eaten too many acorns? Or does this queen of a pig have a secret.?

La Trêve De Noël

Three thrilling, moving and heart-lifting novels set against the backdrop of World War II. By master storyteller Michael Morpurgo - award-winning former Children's Laureate and author of War Horse.

 All three stories are illustrated by the hugely talented and award-winning, Michael Foreman.

 THE AMAZING STORY OF ADOLPHUS TIPS: It's 1943, and Lily lives on a farm, in the idyllic seaside village of Slapton. Apart from her father being away, and the 'townie' evacuees at school, her life is scarcely touched by the war. Until one day, Lily and her family, along with 3000 other villagers, are told to move out of their homes - lock, stock and barrel.

 Soon, the whole area is out of bounds, as the Allied forces practise their landings for D-day, preparing to invade France. But Tips, Lily's adored cat, has other ideas and returns to the forbidden area. Frantic to find her, Lily decides to enter the danger zone herself.

 AN ELEPHANT IN THE GARDEN: It's 1945. Elizabeth's father is fighting with the German army on the eastern front. Her mother works at Dresden zoo, where her favourite animal is a young elephant named Marlene. When the zoo director tells her the dangerous animals must be shot to prevent them running amok when the town is bombed, Elizabeth's mother moves Marlene into the back garden to save her. and then the bombs start to fall.

 Their home destroyed, Elizabeth and her family must flee the bombed-out city and through the wintery landscape, all the while avoiding the Russian troops who are drawing ever closer. It would be hard enough, without an elephant in tow.

 LITTLE MANFRED: It is the summer of 1966, and Charley and her little brother, Alex, are walking their dog Manfred on the beach when they notice two old men, staring out to sea. A chance encounter brings them together and slowly Charley and Alex learn of their mother's past.

 For in 1945 , their farmstead home was a posting for German prisoners of war and their mother Grace was just a little girl.

 This edition of Little Manfred includes beautiful full-colour illustrations.

Mai 1915. Sur une île déserte de l'archipel des Scilly, un pêcheur et son fils découvrent une jeune fille blessée et hagarde, à moitié morte de faim et de soif. Elle ne parvient à prononcer qu'un seul mot : Lucy. D'où vient-elle ? Est-elle une sirène, ou plutôt, comme le laisse entendre la rumeur, une espionne au service des Allemands ?
De l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, le Lusitania, l'un des plus rapides et splendides paquebots de son temps, quitte le port de New York. À son bord, la jeune Merry, accompagnée de sa mère, s'apprête à rejoindre son père blessé sur le front et hospitalisé en Angleterre...

L'histoire du Lusitania, torpillé pendant la Première Guerre mondiale et dont le destin tragique fait écho à celui du Titanic, a inspiré l'auteur de Cheval de guerre et du Royaume de Kensuké.
