Children's reading on BorrowBox

This month on BorrowBox, we've got NO QUEUES on two brilliant children's titles:

Let Sleeping Dragons Lie by Garth Nix and Sean Williams

Odo and Eleanor are officially knights with magical swords ready to tackle some ferocious beasts!

A funny fantasy triumph, the perfect sequel to Have Sword, Will Travel.

Download it right now in eBook or eAudiobook on our BorrowBox.

The Last Human by Lee Bacon

Humans went extinct thirty years ago. Now the world is ruled by machines. And twelve-year-old robot XR_935 is just fine with that.

Without humans around, there is no war, no pollution, no crime. Until the day XR discovers something impossible - a twelve-year-old human.

Discover it today by downloading it in eBook or eAudiobook from our BorrowBox!
