Kiedy Aleks wyrusza w podróż do swojej babci, nie spodziewa się, że na drodze spotka nowych przyjaciół, odkryje zupełnie inny świat i przeżyje przygodę, o jakiej mu się nie śniło!

"Jak na zawołanie, postać obraca się gwałtownie, a moim oczom ukazuje się ogromny, kartoflowaty nos i bardzo włochate, wielkie uszy. Jego bystre spojrzenie łapie moje. Obserwujemy się przez moment i nagle do głowy przychodzi mi dziwna myśl – (...)

Seo é Elias and the Bomb Le Ross Coleman

“Where’s the bomb?” he said icily. “Chuala mé rud éicínt faoi bhuama.”

“Are you a mechanic? Elias asked.

 “I’m interested in mechanics, yes,” the man sniffed.

“Are you here to fix it then?”

“If it’s a thing worth fixing…”

Elias Ó Ríordáin hates English classes with his scary teacher Mr Mortor. But one day, Elias has more than a teacher to deal with: There’a a bomb in his schoolbag and it’ll explode any second.  Can Elias fix it with the help of a mysterious stranger?

Is fuath le Elias Ó Ríordáin ranganna Béarla lena mhúinteoir scanrúil Mr Mortor. Ach lá amháin, tá níos mó ná sin ag déanamh tinneas dó: Tá buama ina mhála scoile agus tá sé chun pléascadh soicind ar bith anois. An féidir le Elias caoi a chur air le cabhair ó strainséir rúndiamhrach?

Seo é Eibhlín Bheag agus an Cnó Cócó Le Brigid O'Dea

Is eilifint í Eibhlín. Ach eilifint an-bheag atá inti. 

Tá Eibhlín ag imirt cluiche lena cairde ach níl sí in ann teacht ar an liathróid! (Bhuel cnó cócó atá i gceist sa cluiche seo!!) Tugann an eilifint léimt. Síneann sí amach a trunc. Dreapann sí creann ard. Ach cibé rud a dhéanann an eilifint, ní bhfaigheann sí an cnó cócó choíche. Tá a dóchas caillte aici go dtí go dtarlaíonn rud éigin aisteach. Sáinníodh an cnó cócó i spás beag. Agus ní bhféadfadh ach le hainmhí amháin an cnó cócó a aimsiú…

This week's Super Paua Story is The Office of Lost Things, by Sara Buckley. 

 "Ding. Another pile of mail comes down the shoot and lands on the table, amongst the sea of brown there is one cream envelope. Seeing this ANEURIN stands quickly and shuffles through the mountain before grabbing it. 

Aneurin: Finally.

He opens it with great care, using a letter opener.

Aneurin: ‘I find myself to still be utterly bewitched by you and yet the spell must be broken if I am to go on living…this will be my last correspondence…even now in my mind’s eye I gaze upon the deep green sea and bask in the shade of JJ’s Tower. And you, my most cherished Winnie, are all that fills my thoughts…all my love, Violet.’ 

Pause

Aneurin: Well that’s not ideal now is it."
