Heroes and Villains - Tapa blanda

In this, our latest anthology in association with the Federation of Children's Book Groups, we have five exciting and brand new short stories from Pat Moon, Kaye Umansky, Thomas Bloor, Celia Rees and Chris D'Lacey, who have each made their choice - nice guy, or dastardly villain . . . In addition we have extracted writing on this theme from Richard Peck's 'A Long Way From Chicago', Adeline Yen Mah's 'Chinese Cinderella' and Virginia Euwer Wolff's 'Make Lemonade', and more besides. Nasty or nice, there is something for everyone in these ten superb stories, making it an invaluable introduction to the best in children's writing today.

Pat Moon is the hugely popular author of 'Do Not Read This Book' and the forthcoming 'Four Days Till Friday'. Kaye Umansky is well known for her wicked 'Pongwiffy' stories, Celia Rees has climbed new heights with the powerful 'Witch Child', while Chris D'Lacey and Thomas Bloor are well known for 'Fly Cherokee Fly' and 'The Memory Prisoner' respectively.
