Jonathan and the White Raven

Jonathan and the White Raven

written by Andrzej Marek Grabowski
illustrated by Marcin Minor

Jonathan and Luke are in the same class, but they don’t like each other. They will be brought together by a book they read and a proposal from Ronnie the Raven. This will help them sort out their problems. But at what price? The boys don’t think too much about that. All the more so because some amazing adventures await them, sometimes dreadful and sometimes funny. There’s fun to be had when aliens land outside and decide to go to school. The Kingdom of Crunch with its master and dungeons is just plain awful. Will the boys come to realise what is really important in life? The text is accompanied by colourful illustrations by Marcin Minor, which wonderfully reflect the spirit of this story.

Columbus’s Dog

Columbus’s Dog

written by Piotr Rowicki
illustrated by Ignacy Czwartos

The crazy and humour-packed adventures of Halszka and Florek, who go to see a museum and find themselves travelling – quite literally! – in time. The places they visit include Grunwald, medieval Kraków, and Gdańsk on the threshold of a new era, where they learn about historical figures and events. The heroes, although they are siblings, mainly disagree on everything. However, in moments of danger, they come to each other’s defence.
The whole story is made even more attractive thanks to some wicked illustrations by renowned illustrator Ignacy Czwartos.

A Guide for the Audiocultural

written by Marcin Dymiter
illustrated by Joanna Gęba

This book takes you through the world of sound that surrounds us. Sounds good? We will explain what a soundscape is and how to navigate it. But above all, we will work together to learn how
to become an audio-cultural person.
– What is a soundscape, soundwalk and sound oasis?
– Do we really need so many noisy devices?
– What is acoustic smog and how to fight it?
– Are all the sounds around us nice?
– How to arrange furniture? A quick course for people who like silence.
– Shared sound space – our rights and obligations.
At the moment, smog, i.e. polluted air, is a hot topic. It turns out that this is not the only smog around us. We are also surrounded by acoustic smog, which means low-intensity noise. This is
a major burden on our bodies.

Shock, Horror!

Shock, Horror!

written by Katarzyna Ryrych
illustrated by Grażyna Rigall

Vampires, shapeshifters, werewolves, and other creatures from the crypt form a tight-knit, camouflaged and colourful community not far from where people live. Some of this book’s heroes are well over 200 years old. They can levitate, keep bats as their beloved pets, but apart from these small details, they are extremely similar to humans. They also have butterflies in the stomach when they fall in love. They might tease each other at school, and they would do anything for their friends.
Enjoy the tales of Vampian, Bighter, White Lady, McMarshy, Poison Granny and Grandad Gravesy, and learn all about the obstacles that thwart the music career of teen band The Cryptles.
We warn you that this book is so dead engrossing that you’ll forget about the entire world, or you might even die laughing, but there’s no way you’ll ever die of boredom.

Screwy and the secrets of Machinesville

Screwy and the secrets of Machinesville

written by Jan Bliźniak
illustrated by Grażyna Rigall

It was no longer safe in Machinesville, the angry wail of police sirens could be heard more and more often, and botcops in pursuit of robots breaching the peace had almost become a everyday event. All because of a virus for which an effective cure had yet to be found. The authorities try to cover up the problem and promptly remove any infected unit. Machines showing symptoms of the disease are sent to Workshop, a forbidden place from which no one had yet returned. Screwy’s father is also among the infected. The young robot wants to save him at all costs. Can he find a way? Does he stand a chance? The mission seems impossible…
