                            The electrifying finale to the multi-award-winning trilogy, Chaos Walking!

                            'War,' says the Mayor.'At last.' Three armies have marched on New Prentisstown, each one intent on destroying the others. And Todd and Viola are caught in the middle of it all. As the battles commence, can they hope to stop all-out war? Can there ever be peace when they’re so hopelessly outnumbered? And if, as they have been told, 'War makes monsters of men', what terrible choices await them? And what of the third voice that watches them, one bent on revenge... The electrifying finale to the multi-award-winning Chaos Walking trilogy, Monsters of Men is a heart-stopping novel about power, survival, and the devastating reality of war.

                            And who is this other guy called Will Grayson?

                            Milo is troubled by nightmares of the Uncle who tried to steal his body and a dark secret he must hide from his cousins; Adele is enthralled by the journals of Captain Bloom and his adventures in the jungles of Budatta, unaware of how important the Captain will become when tragedy strikes; and snooty Isabella is plotting her way to even greater fame and fortune.

                            A sudden disappearance will rock the cousins' world and each Winterbottom will have to battle old ghosts as they fight to save their Aunt Rosemary... And each other.

                            The action packed sequel to Silas and the Winterbottoms.

                            When his family moves to an old house by the sea, Max discovers an abandoned garden of mysterious statues positioned on a six-pointed star. In the centre rising out of the mist stands a clown, its arm outstretched.

                            Then Max meets Roland, who takes him swimming through the underwater ruins of an old shipwreck near the lighthouse where he lives with his grandfather, and Max sees the uncanny six-pointed star again.

                            But it’s Roland’s grandfather and his tale of the shipwreck and the circus troupe on board that makes Max realise he is not the only one to be affected the clown’s sinister presence.
