Cover Story
Our front cover this month features an illutration by Mark Longworth for Gillian Cross's new paperback, The Revenge of the Demon Headmaster. Puffin publish this book in April 1995 (see the Gillian Cross Authorgraph for full details) and we are grateful to them for their help in using this illustration.
Penelope's Peril
A rattling good yarn - a wicked scientist wants to control the power held by the Magic Folk and use it for his own evil ends. Penelope, equipped with the mysterious - and wayward - power of the pendant, is compelled to help when here three friends Rima, Craggle and Glumdol are captured and their lives are in danger. Years 6 and 7 will respond enthusiastically to this innocent story where good, quite properly, defeats evil, with plenty of thrills on the way.
