Cover Story
The illustration on our cover is from the newly-published Robert Cormier novel Beyond the Chocolate War, (Gollancz, 0 575 03711 3, £7.95). The illustration is by Caroline Binch and shows in the centre Archie Costello, Assigner of the Vigils, holding the white ball which readers of The Chocolate War will remember as all important in deciding who undertakes the assignments that are required from certain unfortunate individuals. In this sequel new characters join him and the old return to play out Archie's last term at Trinity High. We are grateful to Gollancz for help in using this illustration.

Harriet's Recital
Harriet and the Garden
Two further episodes featuring the canine heroine, Harriet. In the former she experiences first-night nerves and imagines all the things that could go wrong before her dancing performance. 'Honesty is the best policy' is what Harriet discovers in the latter title wherein she owns up to ruining a neighbour's garden. Originally published in the USA, these two easy-to-read stories have a slightly old-fashioned charm about them.
