Sophie, Countess of Ségur, was a Russian-born French writer who lived from 1799 to 1874. This collection of stories draws on the rich heritage of French medieval literature, courtly love, magic charms and gallant deeds. In each story, the hero or heroine must undertake a quest or overcome a series of impossible challenges in order to reach their goal - often with the aid of magic. The tests involve patience, endurance and hard physical labour, as well as overcoming character flaws or atoning for past misdeeds. The stories are remarkably vibrant and well written, containing many elements of surprise and humour as well as chivalry and courtly romance, and as such, reach across the ages and appeal to a modern audience. These stories will delight children and adults alike: 'Blondine, Bonne Biche and Beau Manon', 'Good Little Henry', 'The Story of Rosette', 'The Little Grey Mouse', and 'Ourson'.
Kassim is happy with his old, comfortable shoes, but his neighbors would prefer he throw them away and get a new pair. When the neighbors take matters into their own hands, trouble ensues.
A ghost story with a literary heart for fans of Neil Gaiman's Coraline and The Graveyard Book. Theater kids and ghost-story readers alike will find new meaning in the term stage fright.
All great theaters have their ghosts. . . .
After Olive Preiss freezes during a theater camp audition, she flees in despair. She finds herself at Maudeville, a beautiful old theater that she's never noticed before. She enters, goes onstage, and sings her song. "Thank you for that lovely audition, darling,' comes a voice from the shadows. "I believe I have just the part for you.'
Olive is thrilled to work with Maude Devore, the glamorous actress who owns the theater, and her eclectic cast of misfits. Yet gradually there are signs that Maudeville isn't exactly what it seems. Sometimes-just for a moment!-it feels wrong. As opening day approaches, Olive's doubts and fears grow. But no matter what, this show must go on . . . and on . . . and on. . . .
"Equal parts heart and bone-deep creepiness.' -Claire Legrand, author of The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls

Oliver Twist ist ein Buch der Überraschungen und Wendungen, die Personen und Teilhandlungen sind kreuz und quer verknüpft - das ist große Dramaturgie. Die Personen sind klar gezeichnet und haben ihren Charakter. Da ist Oliver selbst, der unter schlimmsten Umständen die Ehre seiner Mutter verteidigt, da ist Nancy, eine sehr starke Frauen-Figur, da sind die 'Bösen', in denen sich oft noch ein wenig Gutes findet . Es ist auch ein Buch der Moral - die Gier nach Reichtum geht quer durch die Gesellschaftsschichten. Und es zeigt die Kinder als die Verlierer in einem System, das deren Missbrauch nicht verhindern kann. Verhältnisse, die wir hier nicht mehr kennen, die es aber noch heute in vielen Teilen der Welt gibt.
Olivia Kidney's new apartment building is crazy! Talking lizards crawling everywhere. An exiled princess haunting the hallways. A tropical rainforest growing in 7B. Even an apartment made entirely of glass!
Maybe her father will get fired from his job as the building super, as he always does, and they can leave. But Olivia is tired of moving from place to place, from school to school. What she wouldn't give for a little slice of sanity. And maybe a friend to share it with.
