Bramble Fox 

Kathrin Tordasi 

Waterstones Review:

On a summer holiday in Wales, Portia and Ben find a mysterious door set in a bramble hedge in the middle of a forest. It is a portal to the Otherworld and should never be opened, but how are they supposed to know that? After all, the old stories about the wonders and dangers of the Otherworld have long been forgotten...

For Robin Goodfellow, the man with the fox shadow, the children are his last chance to open the portal and finally return home. But for everyone else, the door spells great danger. This thrilling fantasy adventure immerses young readers deep in the world of British myths and legends.

Waterstones Review:

Find out about the transport people used in the past and compare it with what we use today. Discover how cars, planes, bicycles and other vehicles have changed. For children following Book Bands, this book is suitable for children reading at band 8, purple.

The Info Buzz series, for age 5+, helps children develop their knowledge and understanding of the world by covering a wide range of topics in a fun, colourful and interactive way. The books have a lively design, engaging text and photos, questions to get children thinking and talking and teaching notes.
