11 novels for young readers
A book of short stories
A kids' book featuring some very noisy ducks

In a few words, what the novels are about:

They've been called political thrillers
They deal with human rights issues
But they are also action-packed
Their locations are international
They are about characters caught in 'the eye of the storm'
They pull no punches in terms of plot or language
