From Cruella de Ville to Anne Frank, heroes and villains are there in stories as far back as books have been written and tales told. Some are known throughout the world, others are recognised closer to home: within the family, school, or neighbourhood. And, sometimes, one can be mistaken for the other . . .
In this, our latest anthology with the Federation of Children's Book Groups, we celebrate the very best of children's writing today! We have brand new exciting stories from Pat Moon, Kaye Umansky, Thomas Bloor, Chris D'Lacey and Celia Rees. Alongside them, we have poignant and lingering extracts from books by Adeline Yen Mah, Richard Peck, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Joan Aiken and Mary Melwood.
Dastardly villain or triumphant hero - find your favourite in this satisfying, often hilarious, always entertaining selection!
