Benjamin Hulme-Cross, illustrated by Alessia Trunfio

Hercules wants to be famous forever so he has to complete the tasks the King sets him. It won't be easy. In fact, Hercules will have to face some of the most terrifying and dangerous creatures that live on earth – and in hell!

Merlin has embedded a sword in a stone.

The one who can pull it out will be the new king – and soon, that's Arthur! Join him as he battles giants and knights, and learns to be a true king.

Odysseus is a hero but all he really wants to do is defeat the Trojans and go home. The trouble is both those tasks will take a bit longer than he had hoped, and he'll need all his cunning to complete them.

ALMA JUNIOR CLASSICS FICTION

THE CLASSIEST CLASSICS

Alma Junior’s series of illustrated classics includes some of the greatest books ever written for younger readers, as well as new translations of unjustly neglected international works. Our aim is to give our list an international feel and offer young readers the opportunity to connect with other cultures and literatures – this applies not only to the titles we choose but also to the illustrators we commission – so that we can bring a bit of novelty into the canon of British children’s literature. All Alma Junior Classics contain extra material for young readers, including a profile of the author, a section on the book, a list of characters, a glossary and a testyourself quiz.

Ten Traits of Resilience

Angela Browne

James Hilton

James Hilton

Riding the Waves offers practical strategies, advice and reflective questions for developing the fulfilling aspects of school leadership to carry school leaders through these challenging times. James Hilton explores how school leaders can enhance their mental health and wellbeing and their work–life balance by building effective relationships, nurturing talent, celebrating achievements, feeling in control and, importantly, taking a break.

In this thought-provoking book, James Hilton explores ten traits of resilience and demonstrates to school leaders how they can embed these traits into their practice to grow their own resilience and that of their staff too.

Angela Browne, star of the BBC2 documentary series School, uses her wealth of experience to help school leaders become torchbearers, leading children, staff and local communities with purpose and integrity, and navigating the challenges their schools are facing with confidence and optimism.
