The Christmas Chronicles is a magical collection of 24 short Christmas stories set in the North Pole as Santa and his elves prepare for Christmas.

This title explores the famous Roman town of Pompeii in the years before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, the timeline of its destruction and its subsequent rediscovery hundreds of years later. It uses a mix of easy-to-read text, fact boxes providing historical context, and comic strips to dramatise significant episodes of Pompeii’s fascinating history. We also have a range of new titles in the Live from the Crypt series – information books with a chat show approach where the ghosts of famous pirates, scientific pioneers, Roman and Chinese emperors and other historical figures discuss their eventful lives.

It contains introductory information on the building blocks of writing a story, as well as enjoyable writing exercises, top tips and advice on getting your work published or self-publishing. The reassuring tone and hands-on approach will help to build the confidence of new writers. The Scribo imprint has two new titles in acclaimed author Tim Collins’ bestselling series The Long-Lost Secret Diary of the World’s Worst… The first is about a Viking boy who gets caught up in disastrous raids and voyages to the New World, the other features twin apprentices who help Gustave Eiffel in the construction of the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower. With more than 500 titles to choose from in Salariya’s wide-ranging imprints, we have innovative books which will appeal to both avid and reluctant readers. I do hope you will enjoy our books as much as we have enjoyed creating them.

Hmm, cuttlefish fo r l u n c h a g a i n , I see...

Cleaning station Even though fish live in water, they still need a wash and brush up! They don’t need any soap though – just a bunch of cleaners! All they have to do is swim by a cleaning station, get in line, and wait their turn. Little fish soon take charge of them, cleaning parasites from the surface of their body, gills, and oral cavity. About 45 species of fish and many shrimps provide this cleaning service.

We l c o m e ! Th i s i s m y n e w cleaning station.

If there’s any place that the fish’s tiny mouths can’t reach, shrimps come to the rescue. Their long legs and claws provide an excellent tool. Shrimps use them to cut away pieces of protruding skin, or to pick leftover food from teeth.

Wrasses Pavla Hanáčková / Linh Dao

Wrasses run their cleaning stations in coral reefs around the world’s seas and oceans. There’s no shortage of clients as wrasses are indispensable in this regard. They remove not only parasites and bacteria from their customers’ skin, but also damaged or dead skin cells.

Oh, oh, that tickles!

Competitors Competition is stiff, so the cleaners have to know how to best attract customers. Wrasses rely on their striking colouration to instantly catch the attention of potential clients. They also move their body so that the sunlight will reflect on it. Shrimps, meanwhile, wave their claws and sometimes even add showy dance moves!
