Now Art, Myrtle, and the rest of the family launch an investigation-and what they find is so horribly, terribly monstrous that not even a billion mothballs will keep it at bay!
Fredegonda, Goneril, and Drusilla are Great Hagges, much more important and much rarer than regular old hags. They think that ghosts these days are decidedly lacking - people haven't been scared of ghosts for years. So one day they decide that something needs to change - it's time for these ghosts to learn a thing or two about being scary. And what better way to teach them than to set up their very own school for ghosts?
A rodential war is about to erupt below the streets of Brooklyn…
Hopper is just an ordinary pet shop mouse before he escapes the confines of his cage. Soon he finds himself below the bustling streets of Brooklyn, deep within the untamed tangles of transit tunnels, and in Atlantia, a glorious utopian rat civilization.
But all is not what it seems. Though Hopper is treated as a royal guest, he misses Pinkie and Pup, his siblings that he lost in the escape attempt. That, and Atlantia is constantly threatened by the roving rebels who wish to bring the city to its knees for no good reason. And there are cats everywhere in Atlantia, cats that would normally eat a rodent in a second, but leave the citizens unharmed… and no one can seem to answer why.
Soon, Hopper is caught in the crosshairs of an epic battle, one that crosses generations and species. As the clashes rage, Hopper learns terrible, extraordinary secrets: Deadly secrets about Atlantia. Painful secrets about his friends.
And one powerful secret about his destiny.

Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle loves everyone, and everyone loves her right back. The Children love her because she is lots of fun. Their parents love her because she can cure children of absolutely any bad habit. The treatments are unusual, but they work! Who better than a pig, for instance, to teach a piggy little boy table manners? And what better way to cure the rainy-day "waddle-I-do's" than hunt for pirate treasure in Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's upside-down house?
"Each of these stories has obviously been told over and over to delighted children, who must throng around their author as the youngsters in the book do around Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle herself."

Twelve-year-old Trish can solve tough math problems and throw a mean fastball. But because of her mom's new job, she's now facing a summer trying to make friends all over again in a new town. That isn't an easy thing to do, and her mom is too busy to notice how miserable she is.
But at her first baseball practice, Trish realizes one of her teammates is Ben, the sixth-grade math prodigy she beat in the spring Math Puzzler Championships.

To make matters worse, their team can't win a single game. But then they meet Rob, an older kid who smacks home runs without breaking a sweat.

Muddle Earth is the first in the hilarious tongue-in-cheek fantasy series from bestselling duo Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell.
As the third moon rises over Muddle Earth's Perfumed Bog, the twinkling lights are lit on a small houseboat, home to a wizard, Randalf, and his familiar, a very sarcastic budgie called Veronica. Randalf is in trouble - he's stony broke. He's just spent his last silver pipsqueak. There's only one way for a wizard to make cash on Muddle Earth - and that's by doing some magic.
There's just one problem: Randalf has lost his spell book. He's just got a fragment of paper with half a spell on it - telling him how to summon a Great Warrior Hero. The last one, Quentin the Cake-Baker, wasn't a great success. But this time, it's going to be different.
And life is about to change beyond recognition for an ordinary schoolboy on ordinary earth - Joe Jefferson - and his dog, Henry. Welcome to a world of ogres and goblins, batbirds and pink stinky hogs, flying cupboards and terrifying teddy bears . . .
Muddy, the little pig emphasizes the importance of sincerity, acceptance and humility. Knowing yourself and acknowledging yourself is important to accept and present yourself to others. Self knowledge, the Other and Ourselves. Empathy arises with the friend Queeik, which leads to a thrilling conclusion!
