Jack Plus 5


Book Description

The story involves the discovery of an incredible book, the powers of which allow the hero to travel from Earth to any of a hundred different worlds. But only one holds his interest, as it is to that world he must travel to find his grandfather, who had mysteriously disappeared. Arriving through time and space he is told by five "beings" he must fulfill a mission (about which he was supposed to have agreed to on Earth, but which he in fact knows nothing about) to end the "darkness" he will find himself in. He is not alone in his quest that takes him into battles in space and on alien planets, but to succeed, and to obtain the love he so desperately seeks, he must travel back and forth through the powers of the book, not knowing if "time" will continue to be his staunch ally or become his bitter enemy.

Black Jack, Volume 17

Black Jack is a mysterious and charismatic genius surgeon who travels the world performing amazing and impossible medical feats. Though highly trained, he freelances without a license because he disdains the medical establishment. This leads to run-ins with the authorities and unscrupulous, sometimes criminal, individuals. Because Black Jack keeps his true motives secret, his ethics are perceived as questionable and he is considered a selfish, uncaring devil.

Lord of the Flies


Book Description

A plane crashes on a desert island and the only survivors, a group of schoolboys, assemble on the beach and wait to be rescued. By day they inhabit a land of bright fantastic birds and dark blue seas, but at night their dreams are haunted by the image of a terrifying beast. As the boys' delicate sense of order fades, so their childish dreams are transformed into something more primitive, and their behaviour starts to take on a murderous, savage significance. First published in 1954, Lord of the Flies is one of the most celebrated and widely read of modern classics. Now fully revised and updated, this educational edition includes chapter summaries, comprehension questions, discussion points, classroom activities, a biographical profile of Golding, historical context relevant to the novel and an essay on Lord of the Flies by William Golding entitled 'Fable'. Aimed at Key Stage 3 and 4 students, it also includes a section on literary theory for advanced or A-level students. The educational edition encourages original and independent thinking while guiding the student through the text - ideal for use in the classroom and at home.
