The Haunting

The only life twelve-year-old Emily has ever known is the cold, unloved existence of being an orphan. But everything changes when the Thorntons, a young couple from London, adopt Emily, whisking her away to a new life at their grand estate. At first, life at Blackthorn Manor is wonderful. But as Emily explores the grounds and rooms, she stumbles upon a mysterious girl named Kat, who appears to be similar in age, and the two become fast friends. That's when things take a turn for the worse. Kat seems to know a curious amount about the estate, and strange things happen whenever she's around. In one case, Emily narrowly avoids getting toppled by a bookcase in the library; in another, the fire erupts in the fireplace, nearly burning Emily's hands. It's almost as if someone-or something-wants Emily dead. Emily must find out what happened to the Thorntons and, more important, how Kat is connected to these strange goings-on at Blackthorn Manor before it's too late!

Sixth-Grade Alien: I Shrank My Teacher

Pleskit Meenom, the first alien to go to school on Earth, is starting to fit in with his new class. It's not easy, given how slippery the language is. (Just how many meanings does the word "cool" have, anyway?) But the biggest problem is Jordan Lynch, the class bully who just can't resist picking on the new kid. Finally Pleskit and his new best friend, Tim Tompkins, decide to take action. But taking action when you have alien technology at your disposal can mean taking things just a little too far . . . and we do mean little! This hilarious mix of comedy, alien adventure, and social satire is enhanced by a brilliant reading from the late, great William Dufris (the original American voice of Bob the Builder), which School Library Journal said, "makes the recording a hoot!"

The Stolen Prince of Cloudburst

Esther is a middle child, in her own mind a pale reflection of siblings who are bright, shining stars. Her mother doesn't show the slightest bit of interest, no matter what Esther does. Still, she's content to go back to school, do her best, hang out with her friends, and let others take care of things. But her best friends aren't AT school when she gets there. Why didn't they tell her they wouldn't be coming back? Why were they silent all summer? But stuff like that happens. And it's bad luck that her new teacher makes Esther the butt of all kinds of jokes. Mrs. Pollock is rumored to be an ogre-and maybe she IS one. Could be. Then things go from unfortunate to outright dangerous. The mountains surrounding the school-usually sparkling with glaciers and lakes, alive with Faeries, and sheltering a quaint town with really great bakeries-are now crowded with Shadow Mages, casting a noticeable pall, and clearly-to Esther- signifying something very dark and threatening. As the people she might have depended on to help are either strangely absent or in hiding, it's left to ordinary, middle-child Esther ("just Esther") to act. But she'll have to burst out of the box of mediocrity she's been put in, and do something absolutely extraordinary.

In EEN LAND VAN VUUR (BOEK #12 IN DE TOVENAARSRING), zijn Gwendolyn en haar mensen door Romulus' draken en zijn miljoenenleger omsingeld op de Hoge Eilanden. Alles lijkt verloren-tot er redding komt uit een onwaarschijnlijke hoek. Gwendolyn is vastberaden om haar baby terug te vinden, die verloren is op zee, en om een nieuw thuis te vinden voor haar verbannen natie. Ze reist over vreemde en exotische zeeën en moet ondenkbare gevaren, opstanden en honger doorstaan terwijl ze droomt van een veilige haven. In het Land van de Druiden ontmoet Thorgrin eindelijk zijn moeder. Hun ontmoeting zal zijn leven voorgoed veranderen, en maakt hem sterker dan ooit tevoren. Hij vertrekt op een nieuwe missie, vastbesloten om Gwendolyn te redden, zijn baby te vinden en zijn lotsbestemming te vervullen. In een epische strijd tussen draken en mensen, wordt Thor op elke mogelijke manier op de proef gesteld; terwijl hij vecht tegen monsters en zijn leven op het spel zet voor zijn broeders, ontdekt hij wat voor grote krijger hij was voorbestemd om te worden. Op de Zuidelijke Eilanden hangt Erecs leven aan een zijden draadje. Alistair, die van zijn moord word beschuldigd, moet doen wat ze kan om Erec te redden en haar onschuld te bewijzen. Er ontstaat een machtsstrijd om de troon, en Alistair zit er midden in. Haar lot, en dat van Erec, staan op het spel. Romulus is nog altijd vastberaden om Gwendolyn, Thorgrin en wie er nog over is uit de Ring te vernietigen; maar de maancyclus loopt ten einde, en zijn macht wordt op de proef gesteld. Ondertussen, in de Noordelijke provincie van het Rijk, rijst er een nieuwe held op: Darius, een 15-jarige krijger, die vastberaden is om zijn volk te bevrijden. Maar de Noordelijke hoofdstad wordt gerund door Volusia, een 18-jarig meisje, beroemd om haar schoonheid-maar ook om haar barbarische wreedheid. Zullen Gwen en haar mensen het overleven? Zal Guwayne gevonden worden? Zal Romulus overwinnen? Zal Erec het overleven? Zal Thorgrin op tijd terugkeren? EEN LAND VAN VUUR is een episch verhaal van vrienden en geliefden, rivalen en minnaars, ridders en draken, intriges en politieke machinaties, van volwassen worden, van gebroken harten, van bedrog, ambitie en verraad. Het is een verhaal van eer en moed, van lotsbestemming en tovenarij. Het is een fantasie die ons meeneemt naar een wereld die we nooit zullen vergeten, en die alle leeftijden zal aanspreken.
