11-year-old Vincent van Gogh discovers a curious new world through a tunnel on the moor. A mysterious white rabbit introduces Vincent to Alice, and their quest begins—defeat the dreaded Jabberwock before it consumes all of Wonderland.
A slithy tove, an ill-tempered caterpillar, and the Cheshire cat meet them along the path as their adventures take them through fields dancing with flowers, tangled forests, and looking-glass pools.
But all is not what it seems in Wonderland, and Vincent may not have—and may not want—what it takes to succeed. Destroying the Jabberwock may cost more than he’s willing to give.
Twelve-year-old Janie Rutland somewhat grudgingly befriends Reggie Rankin—the weird new kid at school—and finally has someone to investigate her curious sightings in the abandoned house next door. When they find there’s an impossible world in danger of total destruction, they face a choice. Do they have what it takes to save it? An eccentric fellowship gathers as they embark on a perilous quest in a race against time and their own fears. Traveling in what can only be described as a pirate hover ship, they’re threatened by monsters and storms, shipwrecks and death. Can they find the answers they need to save Sian—and maybe all worlds?

'A Preguiça', um resgate da nossa origem e formação africana, indígena e européia. 'A Preguiça' contém três fábulas de origem portuguesa que tratam de forma poética e bem-humorada deste pecado capital. Com delicadas ilustrações, aprimora o senso estético ao mesmo tempo que faz rir e desperta a criança para alguma situação com a qual ela se identifica, tipo estar do lado da água e pedir a alguém que a sirva, ou por preguiça, deixar de fazer algo só para não ter de ir atrás.
Quase 150 anos após sua morte, Hans Christian Andersen continua a encantar leitores de todas as idades. Com um estilo próprio, que foge muitas vezes das estruturas tradicionais dos contos de fadas e traz às narrativas um divertido tom de ironia, o escritor inspirou-se em casos contados pelo pai, durante a infância miserável na Dinamarca, e também naqueles ouvidos ao longo da vida.
Para esta coletânea, a escritora Luciana Sandroni selecionou algumas histórias: o Patinho Feio, O Soldadinho de Chumbo, O Rouxinol e o Imperador da China, A roupa nova do Imperador e outros.

An Australian Children's Fable of Weirdness and Wonder!
From the father of science fiction comes the story of the fascinating conflict between humans and aliens in The War of the Worlds.
The novel begins with humans watching the skies closely, fascinated with the worlds beyond Earth’s atmosphere. As astronomers and scientists hone in on some strange occurrences on Mars, their observations soon become frightening – humans are not the only intelligent beings, and those other beings are also curious about humans.
Alien spacecraft starts crashing into England and as Martians emerge from the ships, they begin terrorizing the Earth and bringing destruction with every step. Cities are burned, families are torn apart, and human military power proves weak in the face of an unknown enemy. Humans will fight to protect their home planet, but at what cost?
The War of the Worlds is a story about surviving in the face of destruction, the human desire to protect one’s home and loved ones, and a fascinating glance of how a harmful alien invasion could play out on Earth.
H.G. Wells remains one of the most important voices of the science fiction genre, and The War of the Worlds was one of the earliest works alien-based fiction, a trope that remains popular to this day.
