Billy Field is given an opportunity to act in the school play, but he tells himself he can’t do it. He convinces himself that he’ll never learn all the lines. Feeling unsure and vulnerable, he thinks of all the ways he can get out of playing a part. Instead, he becomes a member of the stage crew, and without even realising it, he learns the lines, not only for the main part but all the other parts too. Following an accident befalling Ant Turner who is playing the lead role, the play might have to be cancelled. Is Billy able to play the main part? Will Ant be well enough to save the day? Does Billy overcome his lack of self-belief? Billy Saves The Day is the sixth title in the Billy?Growing Up series.

The Moon Rock
The Moon Rock
Arthur J. Rees
¥8.09
"The Moon Rock" (1922) is Australian mystery writer Arthur J. Rees' locked-room conundrum. In fact, the room -- the murder scene -- not only is locked from the inside, but also two hundred feet up the cold wall of Flint House. And the house looms on the edge of a cliff in Cornwall. Slip, and a falling body would strike the pale Moon Rock and its legend of doomed love. "A lonely, weird place," Scotland Yard's Det. Barrant sums it up, and that's even before he finds out what happened. The deceased is Robert Turold, a bitter and silent man obsessed with proving his noble linage and claim to a great estate. At last, he succeeds -- only to be found dead in the locked room, shot in the chest. Suicide? Barrant suspects not. The house is full of suspects: servants, relatives, a lovely daughter with a ruinous secret. Rees knew all the conventions of a mystery novel -- he wrote more than twenty -- and how to set the table with plenty of red herrings. But the question is more than who-done-it. Tension builds, too, on the identity of the Moon Rock's next victim. The one word to describe "The Moon Rock" is, literally: Cliffhanger.
