We're talking about schools, homes, libraries, wherever you are, we're so delighted that you are joining us. And this is a particularly special day because we are about to welcome a fabulous author. But before I introduce him we also have some wonderful children from three South Lanarkshire primary schools. From Quarter Primary School, Leadhills and High Mill Primary School. They might even give you a wave, I don't know. But they're very nice anyway. Aren't they gorgeous? Yeah, they're waving too. Yeah, they're not too cool for school, and neither are you. It's so lovely to have you along. So as I said, every time we have an Authors Live it’s special, but this is particularly special because we're welcoming such a big name from the world of children's books. And it's a big year for him too because he's celebrating the 15th anniversary of the massively popular, I love them, Alex Rider, super spy books. Some of you will have read them I know and some of you also will have seen the film adaption of the very first one, Stormbreaker which I also loved. It's time I grew up! No it's not.

Souhegan Reads 2019 Summer Reading List Sadie by Courtney Summers: Sadie has grown up on her own, raising her sister Mattie in an isolated small town, trying her best to provide a normal life and keep their heads above water. When Mattie is found dead, Sadie's entire world crumbles. After a botched police investigation, Sadie is determined to bring her sister's killer to justice and hits the road following a few meager clues. When West McCray―a radio personality working on a segment about small, forgotten towns in America―overhears Sadie's story at a local gas station, he becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl. He starts his own podcast as he tracks Sadie's journey, trying to figure out what happened, hoping to find her before it's too late.

But it's the personal stories of eight people—6 American soldiers, 1 American military nurse, and 1 Vietnamese refugee—that create the heartbeat of Boots on the Ground. From dense jungles and terrifying firefights to chaotic helicopter rescues and harrowing escapes, each individual experience reveals a different facet of the war.

Blood in the Water The boy crept up to the fence and looked around. There was the familiar sign . KEEP OUT! PRIVATE PROPERTY. TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT. And hanging next to it, just to make sure that the message was clearly understood, were the bodies of several dead animals. Strung up like criminals, wire twisted round their broken necks. He knew them so well; they were almost like old friends. There were rabbits with their eyes pecked out, tattered black crows with broken wings, a couple of foxes, a few rats, even a wildcat and a pine marten. In all the days he’d been coming here the boy had watched them slowly rotting away, until some of them were little more than flaps of dirty leather and yellow bones. But there were a couple of fresh ones since yesterday, a squirrel and another fox. Which meant that someone had been back. 1 Text copyright (c) Charlie Higson.
