While out trick or treating, the three boys discover the road is closed, forcing them to detour through a spooky graveyard.

A perilous journey that entails building a spaceship and traveling to the moon ... to give the moon the cure? Is that what happens? Really Well, that's one possibility, in this labyrinthine adventure that has as many twists and turns as any other book!So sit back and enjoy eleven-year-old Danny Lawlor's expertly narrated and vibrantly illustrated debut book, The Night of the Full Moon, as he narrates his three heroes' attempts to save the world, or at least not mess everything up.

For 40 odd years, Peter Henry drove his mobile shop up and down the narrow roads and byways of the Irish midlands. His mission was to bring food and farm supplies to the hearths of remote cottages where life hadn't changed in a hundred years.Peter delivered more than goods. His presence was his customers' contact with the outside world; he brought news of weddings and wakes, funerals and football.In One Last Bend; A personal history of Peter Henry's travelling shop, Peter's son Vincent, a former civil servant, school teacher and footballer, recounts the remarkable story of his family's enterprise. Henry charts the van's history from staple of rural life to a vestige of a bygone era.Readers will also encounter the many colourful characters who populated these Irish hinterlands; including Razor Devine, the gifted footballer and unrepentant thief; Junior, the hapless bachelor farmer; and Nannie Stanton, famous for her legendary country butter.Vincent's recollections accompanying his father in their travelling shop reminds us of the life and times of rural Ireland in a bygone age.Mr. Brian Cowen - former Taoiseach of IrelandWith humor, poignancy, and monumental affection for the people of Clara and its environs, Vincent Henry delivers a throbbing travel memoir ...As travel memoirs go, it does not aspire towards the Taj Mahal or the Pyramids or any of the world's seven wonders. Instead it reveals the world's eight wonder: the grit and charm of a vibrant community. Mr. Ciarán O'Reilly - Actor, Playwright and Inductee of the 'Irish America Hall of Fame'This lovely book brilliantly captures a world that no longer exists. The 'Van' passed along the High Road in Durrow where we lived and was an essential part of the life of the community. In One Last Bend, Vincent Henry has produced no mere work of nostalgia; it offers a vivid insight into the social history of the midlands in the decades after World War II, when everything began to change, and then continued to change very quickly.Professor Paul Rouse - UCD School of History

'You cannot fix this world alone, Selkie.''I know. But, when we die, all that is left are shadows of our lives preserved in the memories of those who remain. I plan on leaving an exceptionally long shadow, filled with ripples of moonlight for those I helped, and darker than the worst of nightmares for those who wronged us.'How far would you go to save your skin? I'm a selkie, trapped above the waves until I can recover my skin. Humans used to call us seal-wives many years ago - before they broke the planet. I thought that less humans, after the warming, would mean less danger. My kind believed our world was finally recovering.We were wrong.Up here, the magic is fading and Old Ones like me are being traded as trophies for rich and powerful humans to display in collections.Without the Old Ones, the magic fades, without magic, the planet dies.Humankind has gone too far and someone has to put a stop to it. I just wasn't expecting it to be me.Far to the south on his enormous pleasure ship, Barge, Lord Sal hunts for missing Old Ones - with a grand plan to leave his own mark on the world. But, Icidro and Prince Ulises are searching for them too, and this is a world where money talks louder than morals.
