Something BAD is happening at Little Strangehaven Primary. What are the peculiar SHIVERS that keep striking the school, bringing Strangeness in their wake - from uncontrollable ballroom dancing to an attack by military chickens? Spy-detective Agatha Topps is determined to find out. She's the only person who doesn't forget the Strangeness as soon as it's over. At least, until new boy Lenny Tuchus turns up and remembers too. Their spy-detectoring leads them to the Book of Chaos, an ancient text which has been hidden away in the Room of Forbidden and Dangerous Books. Can Agatha and Lenny fight off attacks from evil underpants and Transylvanian gargoyles to stop the SHIVERS before their town is sucked into oblivion? Because power lies in books - especially this one . . . The perfect story for 7 to 9-year-olds (or STRANGE adults) and fans of Ben Miller, David Walliams and Tom Fletcher. Packed with hilarious illustrations and easy-to-read text, discover the secrets of Little Strangehaven.

Voici un livre au concept original pour jouer à bien ranger (ou déranger) la maison ! Chaque pièce (la cuisine, le salon, la salle de bains, la chambre, le sous-sol) fait l'objet d'une grande double page aux couleurs attirantes, qui fourmille d'objets. Mais tous ne sont pas à leur place ! Il y a même ici ou là, quelques intrus… comme un serpent dans la cuisine ou une vis dans la boîte à bijoux de la salle de bains. Une encoche sur le côté permet de faire tourner facilement un disque pris entre les pages cartonnées et, en huit tours, de trouver la bonne combinaison, tandis que les objets apparaissent dans une dizaine de trous par page – ou de jouer à tout chambouler, sens dessus dessous et emplacement farfelu bienvenu !

Evil tree. Bad Apple? Twenty years ago, all the evil villains were banished from the kingdom of Auradon to the Isle of the Lost--a dark and dreary place protected by a force field that makes it impossible for them to leave. Stripped of their magical powers, the villains now live in total isolation, forgotten by the world. Mal learns from her mother, Maleficent, that the key to true darkness, the Dragon's Eye, is located inside her scepter in the forbidden fortress on the far side of the island. The eye is cursed, and whoever retrieves it will be knocked into a deep sleep for a thousand years. But Mal has a plan to capture it. She'll just need a little help from her "friends." In their quest for the Dragon's Eye, these four kids begin to realize that just because you come from an evil family tree, being good ain't so bad. Praise for The Isle of the Lost"Disney lovers and fairy-tale fans alike will need to get their hands on this book." --School Library Journal
