Gerard is 12. He hates his name, but loves flying round the streets of Glasgow on his bike, or mucking about with his gang, the Broncos. He’s a bright kid, but trouble seems to follow him. No one really knows what it’s like at home for Gerard; he’s used to carrying a lot on his small shoulders. Gerard doesn’t always make good decisions. And on one April morning, in the blink of an eye, he makes a very bad one – one that will upend his whole world.

This new series by David J Gatward kicks off with Gordy from the brilliant Harry Grimm series starting a new life in Somerset. I loved it! It’s got everything, suspenseful story, witty writing and great characters. I had to laugh at another review that complained as to why Mr Gatward hadn’t got a Scottish narrator…er Ruth Urquhart is very Scottish as that’s where she’s from! ( clue’s in the name) She narrates in her natural soft Scottish accent and gives Gordy a bit of a Highland inflection. I suppose if you’re from the States you might not know the subtleties of UK accents. Anyhow I think Urquhart is a brilliant fit for this series and can’t wait for the next one! Highly recommend.

Effective communication is key to strong relationships, and this is especially true with our dogs. This book is a must-have for anyone who spends time with dogs, teaching you to understand their unique language through illustrations and clear explanations. It covers recognizing individual communication styles, interpreting emotions from body language, identifying signs of stress and discomfort, understanding canine interactions, and spotting warning signs and aggression.

For most of us, the story of mammal evolution starts after the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs, but over the last 20 years, scientists have uncovered new fossils and used new technologies that have upended this story. In Beasts Before Us, paleontologist Elsa Panciroli charts the emergence of the mammal lineage, Synapsida, beginning at their murky split from the reptiles in the Carboniferous period, over 300 million years ago. They made the world theirs long before the rise of dinosaurs.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 14
Eighteenth-century Scotland is famed for generating many of the enlightened ideas which helped to shape the modern world. But there was in the same period another side to the history of the nation. Many of Scotland's people were subjected to coercive and sometimes violent change, as traditional ways of life were overturned by the "rational" exploitation of land use. The Scottish Clearances is a superb and highly original account of this sometimes terrible process, which changed the Lowland countryside forever, as it also did, more infamously, the old society of the Highlands.

This is a great study of a little known area of Scottish history. Everyone knows of the Highland Clearances but not that it also happened in the less romantically revered lowlands. Ruth Urquhart is a great narrator ( and a native Scot) This is a beautifully narrated and very interesting title.

Kitchen maid Joan Hart and lady's maid Verity Hunter intend to enjoy their trip to the theater, especially as Verity's uncle Tommy is one of the leading men in the play. Act two of the play is curtailed when the lights come up in the interval, and the girls realize a man has been stabbed to death almost under their very noses. The case reunites the servant sleuths with their old ally, Detective Inspector Marks, and while the girls do their best to solve the case while keeping their jobs, the glitter and glamor of the theater may prove to be as dangerous as any battlefield.

Conall MacInnes was born to a clan that for centuries has been charged with the guarding of the sacred Druids. It's a duty he has always met with a willing heart, until the day his sister, a Druid priestess, goes missing and the very Druids he has protected refuse to help him find the last remaining member of his family. Then a 300-year-old prophecy places a Druid in his hands for safekeeping. It's the chance at revenge he's been waiting for, but is he willing to pay the cost his revenge will demand - the loss of his mate and the future of Scotland?

When Jarek steps into the alley to toss out the trash, he finds Erron and can't look away. Even when her father roughly jostles her out of sight, claiming she'd made a wrong turn. He should leave well enough alone, but those desperate eyes haunt him. And he's never been one to turn his back on someone in trouble, especially the most beautiful lass he's ever seen. He just never imagined it'd be his life in jeopardy, and his heart that needs saving.
