Season of Secrets weaves myth and grief into a haunting story of healing, while The Silent Stars Go By explores love, secrets, and resilience against a 1919 Christmas backdrop. Both novels showcase Nicholls' gift for blending history, atmosphere, and heartfelt emotion, a rewarding choice for readers who love thoughtful, character-driven storytelling with a touch of magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSeason of Secrets introduces Molly, sent to live with her grandparents after her mother's death. On a storm-lashed night she encounters a mysterious stranger fleeing a terrifying midnight hunt, and what follows is a haunting tale of myth, magic, and healing after grief. Critics have compared its atmosphere to classics like The Owl Service and Skellig, praising Nicholls as an exceptionally talented writer weaving ancient folklore into a moving coming-of-age story. The Silent Stars Go By shifts to 1919, three years after Margot's fiancé Harry went missing on the Western Front. Margot guards a devastating secret that threatens to unravel her life and reputation, and when Christmas brings unexpected news, she must confront the truth. Nominated for the Carnegie Medal and named a book of the year by the Observer and The Times, this is a quietly powerful story of love, duty, and honesty in the shadow of war. Together, these standalone novels show why Nicholls is one of the most respected voices in British young adult fiction, pairing lyrical prose with genuine emotional depth, and offer a rich, complementary reading experience across two different historical settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo acclaimed novels by Sally Nicholls in one paperback set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlends historical fiction with myth, mystery, and gentle magic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Silent Stars Go By was nominated for the Carnegie Medal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for readers aged 12 and up, including reluctant and confident readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for gifting, classroom libraries, or building a home book collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores themes of grief, love, resilience, and family with warmth and honesty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSally Nicholls grew up in Stockton-on-Tees and studied at Warwick University before training as a writer at Bath Spa University.

Who Makes an Ocean? takes readers to the Sea Museum with Dad, tracing billions of years of Earth's history from fiery beginnings to life-filled seas, with Rabei's sea-washed artwork bringing deep time to life. The Nose, Toes and Tummy Book turns the body into a joyful game, using rhythm and repetition to name body parts while celebrating diverse families through Gosia Herba's bright illustrations. Together, the three books balance science, story, and play, encouraging children to look closely at the natural world and their own bodies with curiosity. Each is designed for shared reading aloud, though older children in the set's age range will enjoy the non-fiction sections independently too. The set brings together two illustration styles and subjects-nature and the body-united by Nicholls' warm, clear voice and gift for making big ideas feel manageable for young readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by Waterstones Prize-winning author Sally Nicholls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines storytelling with accessible science and body-awareness content.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful illustrations by Carolina Rabei and Gosia Herba.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for ages 3-7, read-aloud or early independent reading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat value 3-book paperback bundle and gift set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages curiosity about nature, evolution, and the human body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSally Nicholls grew up in Stockton-on-Tees and has travelled widely, including working at a Red Cross hospital in Japan.
