"The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs meets There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly in this clever, irreverent update of our most beloved children's classics. The little old woman who lives in a book has lost her children! But instead of sitting around and waiting for them to show up, in a refreshingly empowering, feminist take on the classic tale, she departs on a mission to find her kids herself--even if it means popping into every other fairy tale and nursery rhyme in town! She'll enlist the help of Humpty Dumpty, Jack and his beanstalk, Princess Beauty, the Three Bears, and more familiar characters in her quest to rescue her kids. This silly, irreverent picture book is a clever jaunt through our most beloved children's stories--and it's sure to become the next modern day classic."

Elizabeth Webster and the Court of Uncommon Pleas

"Elizabeth Webster is happy to stay under the radar (and under her bangs) until middle school is dead and gone. But when star swimmer Henry Harrison asks her to tutor him in math, it's not linear equations Henry really needs help with—it's a flower-scented, poodle-skirt-wearing, head-tossing ghost who's calling out Elizabeth's name. But why Elizabeth? Could it have something to do with her missing lawyer father? Maybe. Probably. If only she could find him. In her search, she discovers more than she is looking for: a grandfather she never knew, a startling legacy, and the secret family law firm Webster & Son, Attorneys for the Damned. Elizabeth and her friends soon land in court, where demons and ghosts take the witness stand and a red-eyed judge with a ratty white wig hands out sentences like sandwiches. Will Elizabeth's father arrive in time to save Henry Harrison—and is Henry the one who really needs saving?"

Friend or Fiction

"One creative middle-schooler discovers that the best friend a girl can have is the one she makes herself in this charming magical realism read. Jade's life hasn't exactly been normal lately, especially since her dad's cancer diagnosis. Jade wishes her family could leave their no-name town in Colorado already--everybody else does sooner rather than later, including every best friend Jade's ever had. So she makes one up. In the pages of her notebook, she writes all about Zoe--the most amazing best friend anyone could dream of. But when pretend Zoe appears in real life thanks to a magical experiment gone right, Jade isn't so sure if she likes sharing her imaginary friend with the real world.

[Dutch; Flemish] - Een Mars Van Koningen (Boek #2 In De Tovernaarsring)

"“DE TOVERNAARSRING heeft alle ingrediënten voor direct succes: samenzweringen, intriges, mysterie, dappere ridders en opbloeiende relaties, compleet met gebroken harten, bedrog en verraad. Het zal je urenlang boeien, en is geschikt voor alle leeftijden. Aanbevolen voor de permanente collectie van alle liefhebbers van fantasy.” --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos EEN MARS VAN KONINGEN neemt ons weer een stapje verder mee op Thors epische reis naar volwassenheid, terwijl hij zich meer begint te realiseren over wie hij is en wat zijn krachten zijn. Nadat hij uit de kerker ontsnapt, is Thor geschokt wanneer hii hoort over een tweede poging om Koning MacGil te vermoorden. Wanneer MacGil sterft, breekt er chaos uit in het koninkrijk. Terwijl iedereen strijdt om de troon, is het Koninklijk Hof het toneel van familiedrama’s, machtsstrijden, ambities, jaloezie, geweld en verraad. Er moet een erfgenaam worden gekozen, en iemand zal de kans hebben om het eeuwenoude Zwaard van het Lot, de bron van al hun kracht, op te tillen. Maar dan wordt het moordwapen gevonden, en men richt zich op het vinden van de moordenaars. Tegelijkertijd moeten de MacGils een andere dreiging onder ogen zien: de McClouds, die op het punt staan de Ring van binnenuit aan te vallen. Thor vecht om Gwendolyn’s liefde terug te winnen, maar wellicht krijgt hij de kans niet: hij moet inpakken en zich met zijn broeders voorbereiden op De Honderd, honderd gruwelijke, helse dagen die alle leden van de Krijgsmacht moeten overleven. De Krijgsmacht moet het Ravijn oversteken, voorbij de bescherming van de Ring, de Wildernis in, richting de Tartuvische Zee en het Eiland van de Mist, waarvan men zegt dat het bewaakt wordt door een draak. Zullen ze terugkeren? Zal de Ring overleven tijdens hun afwezigheid? En zal Thor eindelijk achter het geheim van zijn lotsbestemming komen? EEN MARS VAN KONINGEN vertelt het epische verhaal van vrienden en geliefden, van rivalen en minnaars, van ridders en draken, van intriges en politieke machinaties, van volwassen worden, van gebroken harten, van misleiding, ambitie en verraad. Het is een verhaal over eer en moed, over het lot, over tovenarij. Het is een fantasie die ons meeneemt naar een wereld die we nooit zullen vergeten, en die alle leeftijden zal aanspreken. Boeken #3 tot en met #14 zijn ook gepubliceerd!"

[Italian] - Voto Di Gloria (Libro #5 in L'Anello dello Stregone)

"In VOTO DI GLORIA (Libro #5 in L’Anello dello Stregone), Thor si imbarca con i suoi compagni della Legione per un’impresa epica nelle vaste Terre Selvagge dell’Impero per cercare di trovare l’antica Spada della Dinastia e salvare quindi l’Anello. Le amicizie di Thor si fanno sempre più profonde mentre viaggiano in luoghi nuovi, affrontano mostri inimmaginabili e combattono fianco a fianco in incredibili battaglie. Incontrano territori esotici, creature e persone che non avrebbero mai immaginato, mentre ogni ulteriore passo del loro viaggio si presenta carico di pericoli sempre più grandi. Dovranno chiamare a raccolta tutta la loro abilità se vorranno sopravvivere mentre seguono il sentiero dei ladri, sempre più a fondo nel territorio dell’Impero. La loro ricerca li porterà direttamente fino al cuore del Mondo Sotterraneo, un dei sette regni dell’inferno, dove regnano i morti viventi e i campi sono disseminati di ossa. Qui più che mai Thor chiama a raccolta i suoi poteri e lotta per capire la sua stessa natura. Tornata nell’Anello, Gwendolyn deve condurre metà della Corte del Re verso la roccaforte occidentale di Silesia, un’antica città arroccata ai confine del Canyon che domina da quella postazione da oltre mille anni. Le fortificazioni di Silesia le hanno permesso di sopravvivere a ogni attacco nel corso dei secoli, ma la città non ha mia dovuto affrontare un assalto da parte di un capo quale Andronico e da un esercito di un milione di uomini. Gwendolyn impara cosa significhi essere regina nel momento in qui assume il ruolo di guida. Srog, Kolk, Brom, Steffen, Kendrick e Godfrey sono al suo fianco e si preparano a difendere la città dalla violenta guerra che sta per scatenarsi. Nel frattempo, Gareth sta impazzendo sempre di più, cercando di respingere un colpo di stato che lo vorrebbe morto nella Corte del Re. Erec combatte per la sua vita e per il suo amore, Alistair e la città di Savaria, mentre lo scudo inattivo permette a creature selvagge di invadere l’Anello. E Godfrey, crogiolandosi nel bere, dovrà decidere se è pronto o meno a dimenticare il suo passato e diventare l’uomo che la sua famiglia si aspetta. Mentre tutti combattono per le loro vite e le cose sembrano peggiorare sempre più, la storia termina con due scioccanti colpi di scena. Ce la farà Gwendolyn a sopravvivere all’assalto? Thor sopravviverà all’Impero? Troveranno la Spada della Dinastia? Con la sua sofisticata struttura e caratterizzazione, VOTO DI GLORIA è un racconto epico di amicizia e amore, di rivali e seguaci, di cavalieri e draghi, di intrighi e macchinazioni politiche, di maturazione, di cuori spezzati, di inganno, ambizione e tradimento. È un racconto di onore e coraggio, di fato e destino, di stregoneria. È un fantasy capace di portarci in un mondo che non dimenticheremo mai, in grado di affascinare persone di ogni sesso ed età. Ha circa 75.000 parole."

Norwegian Folk Tales

"Norwegian Folk Tales is a collection of the best known and most beloved of these colorful tales first collected by Asbjørnsen & Moe in the 19th century. These stories all derive from an oral tradition, and they give an exciting insight in the views on society and moral codes of the time. Unlike tales in other countries and cultures, the Norwegian tales are less romantic, but much more realistic and humorous. The tales are also fascinating and joyful stories with eternal relevance, with the struggle between good and evil as common grounds. There are similarities to other traditional tales in many cultures, and a pattern of repetitive numbers such as 3, 7 and 12, which appear in almost all known folk tales and religious scriptures. Norwegian Folk Tales have inspired countless books and movies and it is not hard to see the link from Norse mythology through these tales to J.R.R.Tolkien and Game of thrones."
