Perfect for fans of Wimpy Kid and Barry Loser, the third book in Stephan Pastis´s bestselling Timmy Failure series sees Timmy striving for greatness once more! Hilarious drawings add to the humour and make this book ideal for boys and girls aged 9+. Timmy´s detective agency is on the verge of global domination. Global riches. Global fame. And yet the gods are throwing him curveballs
Jane Austen´s high society and Cassandra Clare´s supernatural underworld collide in the first book in the Lady Helen trilogy, perfect for fans of historical fiction and fantasy.

London, April 1812. Lady Helen Wrexhall is set to make her curtsy to Queen Charlotte and step into polite Regency Society. Unbeknownst to Helen, that step will also take her from the glittering ballroom of Almacks and the bright lights of Vauxhall Gardens into a shadowy world of demonic creatures, missing housemaids and deadly power.

Standing between those two worlds is Lord Carlston, a man of dubious reputation and infuriating manners. He believes Helen is destined to protect humanity, but all he can offer is danger, savagery and the possibility of madness. Not the kind of destiny suitable for a young lady in her first London Season. This delightfully dangerous adventure of self-discovery and difficult choices has all the unnerving dark magic of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell and the action of classics such as The Scarlet Pimpernel.
