The first two titles in our new Flashback: Time Detectives series are now available. Go with the two children in these stories on an amazing adventure back in time. A mysterious figure from the past as your guide, to solve the mystery of an artefact that has puzzled the experts for years. In Flashback: The Quest for Inca Gold, two children encounter an Inca princess in a museum, who takes them back to her own time to reveal the mystery of a golden bracelet.
Dinosaurs have taken over here at Orpheus, and we will be presenting a number of new titles on these amazing prehistoric creatures:
Dinosauria, a four-volume dinosaur series for a young age group full of facts and beautifully detailed illustrations.
Dinosaurs on File, another four-volume illustrated dinosaur series for older readers, based on our Dinosaur Brainbox, complete with all you ever wanted to know about dinosaurs, up to date with all the latest dinosaur discoveries.
Mission Files: Discover the Dinosaurs, the fifth title in our popular Mission Files series, is now available. This time, the mission is an investigation into how dinosaurs lived and is set in the present day. Readers learn how palaeontologists choose a site for a dig, how they uncover fossils, what the evidence means and more, all with the aim of putting together your very own model dinosaur skeleton!
