Beside a Burning Sea
From the author of Beneath a Marble Sky comes a new novel that follows a man and a woman from separate worlds as the barbarity of war looms in the distance. After the World War II hospital ship "Benevolence" is split by a torpedo, a small group of survivors confront their own passions and demons and a secret that may determine whether any of them will ever see their homelands again.
This book is new in paperback and great for reading groups!

Additional Event Information.

Moody, highly detailed pen-and-ink drawings provide ornamentation throughout, lending a classic Victorian feel to help punctuate the drama. Possessing an easy confidence and quick wit, outfitted with a swordstick and stovepipe hat, and nimble as the wind, Barnaby is an appealing character sure to draw readers back to the next installment, due next spring, of what promises to be a rousing series.

-Booklist


From the creators of the Edge Chronicles comes a new series featuring a tick-tock lad named Barnaby Grimes. Barnaby runs errands in his city, day and night, "highstacking" around the rooftops in search of new mysteries to solve. In this first adventure, Barnaby is attacked one night by an enormous dog and soon finds himself swept up in a world of crooked doctors, poor and ill-advised patients, strange tonics, and very expensive furs...

Paul Stewart has had over fifty books published. Before becoming an author, he taught English as a foreign language in Sri Lanka and continued teaching once he returned to England. He lives in Brighton with his wife, a primary school teacher, and their two children.

Chris Riddell is familiar to both children and adults for his distinctive line drawings with their clever caricature, fascinating detail and often enchanting fantasy elements. He has illustrated several children's books and won awards for his picture book illustrations. Riddell is also a renowned political cartoonist whose work appears regularly in Great Britain's The Observer, The Literary Review, and The New Statesman. Chris Riddell lives in Brighton with his wife and children.

Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell are the creators of the bestselling Edge Chronicles series and the Far-Flung Adventures.
