From a hot air balloon to holidays on the moon, award-winning David Long captures the astonishing true stories of advances in aviation.

From the Wright Brothers’ twelve seconds aloft to the Moon landings less than a lifetime later, the story of aviation is not just a series of astonishing advances made at breathtaking speed. It’s also about the courage and ingenuity of the men and women who made such rapid progress possible; about the romance of soaring above the clouds; and perhaps most of all about the exciting and exhilarating realisation of a dream which is literally centuries old.

News is everywhere! But do we understand how it really works? Inside Story: How the News Works is a no-nonsense guide for 8-12 year olds that gives the fascinating inside story on this ever-relevant topic.

With accessible information and practical tips written by real-life journalist Jane Marlow from Independent Television News (ITN), plus feature sections from ITV News’ Charlene White, children will be well-equipped with the knowledge they need to navigate the tricky news landscape.

Readers will learn where news came from, the history of news and how it works around the world, as well as who’s who in the news process, what issues are facing the news today, what can we expect from news in the future and so much more.

With fun, friendly and engaging illustrations by Terri Po, this approachable guide is the perfect resource to help children navigate the ever-changing world of news and really get the inside story.
