Alexander
£9.59
To many he was a god. To others he was a monster. The truth is even more extraordinary. As a boy, Alexander dreamed of matching the heroic feats of Achilles. At eighteen he led the Macedonian cavalry to a stunning victory against the Greeks. By twenty-five he had crushed the Persians in three monumental battles & was the master of the greatest empire the world had ever seen. Men began to call him a god. But behind the legend was another, more complex story. Narrated by his boyhood friend Ptolemy, this is the story of Alexander as you have never heard it before: raw, intimate, thrilling
- a story of extraordinary daring & unimaginable endurance; of wanton destruction & murderous intrigue
- the epic tragedy of a man who aimed to be more than human.

Alex, Approximately

From the bestselling author of Night Owls comes a story of summer, first love and hidden identities... Bailey Mink Rydell has met the boy of her dreams. They share a love of films and talk all day - Alex is perfect. Well, apart from the fact that they've never actually met... and neither of them knows the other's real name. When Bailey moves to sunny California to live with her dad, who happens to live in the same town as Alex, she decides to track him down. But finding someone based on online conversations alone proves harder than Bailey thought, and with her irritating but charismatic (and potentially attractive?) colleague Porter Roth distracting her at every turn, will she ever get to meet the mysterious Alex? `If you like Rainbow Rowell, Jandy Nelson and John Green, then you
are going to want to check out Jenn Bennett.' Sugarscape
