Tilly's Holiday. Unexpected Travel
Tilly thought holidaying on her grandparents’ sheep property in outback Australia would be fun, but she is bored with no friends to do anything with.
She explores Gran’s old bottle and rubs the dirt off a bottle with red writing. A storm of wind and dust lands her outside an unusual corner store.
Back in her grandparents’ yard, she avoids touching any more bottles but finds a pair of rusty shears in her grandfather’s shed. She lands in a shearing shed where the men are wearing clothes from different era and she is dressed like never before. Tilly realises there is more to her family history than she expected.

Speed. Haunted Island
السرعة
الجزيرة المسكونة
دعا "علي"، البالغ من العمر اثنى عشر ربيعاً، صديقه الاسترالي " ديلن " لزيارة منزل أجداده في الامارات الشماليه. و قد دفعهما الشعور بالملل و الحر و الجوع إلى ان يهرعا الى الشاطئ حيث وجدو جد "علي" يصطاد السمك. و قد شرع يروي لهم قصصاً عن استكشاف الجزر المحيطة عندما كان صبياً.
و أخيراً عندما وافق "علي" على اصطحاب "طارق"، إبن عمه الصغير، معهما، تم السماح لهم بأخذ قارب الصيد الخاص بالجد و الانطلاق بمفردهم. وهنا يقرر الصبية ان الوقت قد حان للاستمتاع ببعض المرح، لكن هل يمكنهم النجاة من البحار الهائجة؟
