If eleven-year-old Ferg Gottin had been bought from a store, his parents would have
returned him and demanded a refund. Because, you see, for the Gottins, parenting
is an experiment gone badly wrong. So when they find a school where you can
dump your kids and forget about them, they decide that Horrid High is the perfect
place for Ferg. But there’s nothing perfect about Horrid High—it’s quite unlike the
boarding schools Ferg has read about in storybooks. Ferg soon realizes that this isn’t
just a school for orphans, runaways and rejects. Horrid High is a training ground for
horrid teachers who are being sent out into the world to spread horridness! If that’s
not enough, Principal Perverse has a Grand Plan that he plans to reveal to every
horrid teacher everywhere. Ferg and his friends are the only hope that the children
of the world now have. Will they manage to save the day? Open the gates of Horrid
High and find out!

Archie’s Cloud: A book for angry little boys and girls
Archie is a struggling, hot-headed boy on a long, dull journey home. He’s carrying a mysterious bundle that he’d love to lose but can’t—when he tries to drop it, it squeals like a piglet and runs after him, bowling him over. Then Archie makes a choice that changes everything: with a surge of bravery, he enters a magical kingdom where four wise souls await him—a rhino, an owl, a donkey and a rabbit.
These new friends help Archie unpack his bundle and reflect on its contents. Each item (dice, cake, ball and headphones) represents a social ‘worry’ for Archie. By the journey’s end, Archie has fabulous new strategies for managing his stormy feelings, his bundle is empty and he skips home—light and free.
