Het duveltje in de fles
De dertienjarige Gabe koopt in een opwelling een bijzonder flesje met daarin een duveltje dat wensen kan vervullen. Maar dat gaat niet zonder gevaar: iedere keer dat Gabe een wens doet, verliest iemand ergens op de wereld iets. Misschien wel iets heel groots of iets belangrijks als een baan of zijn gezondheid. Iedere wens zou dus een groot dilemma kunnen zijn, maar Gabe krijgt een Ferrari en een jacuzzi en onbeperkt pizza, dus dat is het allemaal waard. Toch? Totdat Gabe een van de desastreuze gevolgen van dichtbij ziet en besluit het flesje weg te doen. Maar dat lijkt het flesje hem onmogelijk te maken... Een hilarisch verhaal met een duister randje over hoe ver je bereid bent te gaan voor je eigen geluk en de verrassende manieren waarop kleine beslissingen al snel uit de hand kunnen lopen. Voor fans van Lemony Snicket en Roald Dahl, en lezers vanaf 10 jaar.

Treasure Island
It is a breathless journey and the closest thing to a real pirate adventure without an eye patch and a time machine... It is a unique work of genius—Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis FowlThere are few novels which grip so thrillingly as those first read in childhood, and for me none which has quite matched the excitement of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island—P.D. JamesWho can think of a pirate without conjuring up the image of Long John Silver?—Daily MailSo what makes these different to any other set of classics? In a moment of inspiration Random House had the bright idea of actually asking Key stage 2 children what extra ingredients they could add to make children want to read. And does it work? Well, put it this way...my 13-year-old daughter announced that she had to read a book over the summer holiday and, without any prompting, spotted The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas...and proceeded to read it! Now, if you knew my 13-year-old daughter, you would realise that this is quite remarkable. She reads texts, blogs and tags by the thousand - but this is the first book she has read since going to high school, so all hail Vintage Classics!—National Association for the Teaching of English

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1850. The son of a prosperous civil engineer, he was expected to follow the family profession but was finally allowed to study law at Edinburgh University. Stevenson reacted forcibly against the Presbyterianism of both his city's professional classes and his devout parents, but the influence of Calvinism on his childhood informed the fascination with evil that is so powerfully explored in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Stevenson suffered from a severe respiratory disease from his twenties onwards, leading him to settle in the gentle climate of Samoa with his American wife, Fanny Osbourne.
