Rhue M. The Wave
The Wave is based on a nightmarish true episode in a Californian high school, when a teacher wanted to demonstrate the dangers of propaganda and group-think. It is one of The Originals from Penguin - iconic, outspoken, first. Laurie isn’t sure what to make of "The Wave". It had begun as a simple history experiment to liven up their World War II studies and had become a craze that was taking over their lives. Laurie’s classmates are changing from normal teenagers into chanting, saluting fanatics. "The Wave" is sweeping through the school - and it is out of control. Laurie’s friends scoff at her warnings but she knows she must make them see what they have become before it’s too late.

Duncan Alex Vet Among The Pigeons
Vet Among the Pigeons is the fifth in Alex Duncan's hilarious series, which began with It's a Vet's Life. When London-based veterinary Michael Morton does his annual stint as a locum for Phil Brogan in the idyllic village of Craftley, trouble, unsurprisingly, comes his way. Tiger and Claire have gone into the livestock business and have a herd of sheep headed by a magnificent ewe nicknamed the Bionic Baa. But when the ubiquitous Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries & Food demands that all farmers use a sheep-dip so virulent that it threatens to be more destructive than the disease it is meant to combat, Michael Morton takes on the blinkered bureaucracy with crusading fervour - and with consequences that encompass the lives of all the Craftley inhabitants we have come to know and love.

Morton Kate The Clockmaker's Daughter
My real name, no one remembers. The truth about that summer, no one else knows. In the summer of 1862, a group of young artists led by the passionate and talented Edward Radcliffe descends upon Birchwood Manor on the banks of the Upper Thames. Their plan: to spend a secluded summer month in a haze of inspiration and creativity. But by the time their stay is over, one woman has been shot dead while another has disappeared; a priceless heirloom is missing; and Edward Radcliffe's life is in ruins. Over one hundred and fifty years later, Elodie Winslow, a young archivist in London, uncovers a leather satchel containing two seemingly unrelated items: a sepia photograph of an arresting-looking woman in Victorian clothing, and an artist's sketchbook containing the drawing of a twin-gabled house on the bend of a river. Why does Birchwood Manor feel so familiar to Elodie? And who is the beautiful woman in the photograph? Will she ever give up her secrets? Told by multiple voices across time, The Clockmaker's Daughter is a story of murder, mystery and thievery, of art, love and loss. And flowing through its pages like a river, is the voice of a woman who stands outside time, whose name has been forgotten by history, but who has watched it all unfold: Birdie Bell, the clockmaker's daughter.
