Alien space monsters invade Earth, prepared for a fight to the death. What they are not prepared for is the 3rd Balsawood Scout troop. Will the aliens succeed? Will life on Earth cease to exist? Will Gary Wimbush ever find his woggle? BE PREPARED.

Uncle Ugstein isn’t an average caveman, and Doreen Pegg isn't an average student. Put them together for a crazy adventure back in time!Uncle Ugstein is a very unusual caveman, but even so it was very odd that he should have the idea for a vacuum-cleaner when, at that precise moment six hundred and twenty thousand years in the future, young Doreen Pegg was building her time travel machine.Jets is a series of simple stories with lots of lively pictures, ideal for children who are just beginning to enjoy reading.

A title in the JUMBO JETS series, illustrated throughout with black and white line drawings. Snobberley House School has a first class reputation, but things are not always as they seem – someone at the school is hiding a hideous secret. First published in hardback in 1996.

The year is 2052 and Garry Wimbush is now a Grandad. Gone are the days of woggles, being prepared and singing songs around the campfire - Garry's grandson only understands virtual activity. Millions of miles away, on planet Grobb, the Grobblewockian Scout group are planning an expedition.

My grandchildren and I were standing at the edge of a still lake feeding the ducks, when my granddaughter picked up a pebble and tossed it into the lake. The pebble quickly sank to the bottom of the lake, but the effect of the pebble created many ripples. They keep spreading and spreading from the center and there was no way to stop them. The Ripple Effect is based on the concept that we are connected. We can and do affect each other. The result is a building of community that will affect how we treat others and the way we live our lives. All of us have passion for something as well as a vision and hope to use our gifts and talents for a greater purpose. The Ripple Effect was originally written as a textbook for a character class curriculum using an athletic medium designed to change the culture of sport that provided collegiate student athletes with application model for character-driven athletics. Today, it has become a resource that provides a guide that can apply to anyone who has an interest in desiring to pursue competitive excellence that emulates Christ. We live in a culture today that promotes comfort, not challenges. We want instant gratification free from consequences of our choices. Our choices and actions represent who we are; what we believe and define our character. The ripple effect provides a foundation for a person to better understand who they can become. The most important relationship a person will ever have is with themselves. The question is, are we doing the best they can to become more than they have become. Each ripple has a message, which is the pebble, a theme, which is the ripple effect, and an application that provides the action necessary to develop and improve character. To reach significance in the athletic arena as well as life one needs to be able to embrace competition, establish quality relationships, and develop values, "e;rules of the road"e; that become the lifestyle. What happens when we experience the ripple effect? We become a person with a Christ-like perspective with a renewed purpose, a new sense of direction, and enhanced relationships.
