Even though Cammie is fluent in fourteen languages and capable of killing a man in seven different ways, she has no idea what to do when she meets an ordinary boy who thinks she's an ordinary girl. Sure, she can tap his phone, hack into his computer, or track him through town with the skill of a real "pavement artist" -- but can she maneuver a relationship with someone who can never know the truth about her?

Little Wizard Stories of Oz

Two great beasts, a lion and a tiger, shared guard duties at the throne of beloved Queen Ozma. "You have enough to eat, I'm sure!" said the Cowardly Lion. "Enough, perhaps -- but not the kind of food I long for," answered the Hungry Tiger. "What I'm hungry for is fat babies. I have a great desire to eat a few fat babies. Then, perhaps, the people of Oz would fear me and I'd become more important!" "True," agreed the Lion. "It would stir up quite a rumpus if you ate but one fat baby. As for myself, if I should spring upon a man and make chop suey of him, there would be wild excitement in the Emerald City and the people would fall upon their knees and beg me for mercy. That, in my opinion, would render me of considerable importance!" The great beasts looked at one another -- and began their plans. L. Frank Baum wrote some of the most imaginative and delightful novels of all time in his marvelous series about the magical kingdom of Oz. In Little Wizard Stories of Oz , Baum revisits some of his most charming characters in a half-dozen shorter tales -- "The Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger," "Little Dorothy and Toto," "Tiktok and the Nome King," "Ozma and the Little Wizard," "Jack Pumpkinhead and the Sawhorse," and "The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman."

" The Girl Who Captured the Stars , the first book in author L.B. Anne's Sheena Meyer series is fantastic! I like how Sheena figures out she has powers, and how she trusts her friends but wants to protect them also. Some parts of the story are sad. Some parts of the story are scary. But some parts of the story are so funny, they made me laugh out loud!" Amazon Reviewer "What am I?" Sheena Meyer is the girl who brings an extra lunch to school each day just in case someone doesn't have lunch. She's also the girl who questions and investigates everything, driving her parents and teachers nuts. She spends most days waiting for some grand event to happen and change her life, but she won't have to wait much longer. The Murk is coming for her because of a gift she doesn't know she has. Nine years ago an angel appeared in front of select kids all over the world. In Michigan, it appeared in a willow tree in front of a four-year-old little girl. She's the only child who saw it, the one with the gift. Sheena is now thirteen and has since forgotten what she saw. But things change when her father is in a terrible accident, and she witnesses a supernatural being save him. "I saw what you did. Come Back!" An elderly man, a peculiar new kid at school, and mysterious text messages will change everything Sheena has ever believed in, sweeping her out of a humdrum, teenage, existence, and setting in motion what one little girl's destiny can mean to the world. ★★★★★Safe, clean, great reads for middle schoolers! Amazon Reviewer I have a 13 year old daughter who loves to read but we are really cautious over what she reads. She is also really picky about what she reads so finding something we approve and she likes can be a challenge. I read all 3 books in the series before giving them to her and loved them myself! They are a fun light read as an adult and they were safe but interesting for a middle schooler to read. The first day I had her start reading she read 11 chapters in The Girl Who Looked Beyond the Stars because she could not put it down! She can't wait to read more and says she will finish all 3 quick because they are so good and she has to know what happens! Also love that the main characters are black and they talk about curly hair, it is great for my daughter to read books with characters who represent what she looks like. Thankful I found these books for my daughter! Read more

The Case of the Christmas Counterfeiters

"I offered you an opportunity to partake of my little enterprise, but you wouldn't listen. Very well, now you'll have to pay the price." With those words, the one-eyed man stepped out of the vault and the heavy steel door swung shut. "Wait," cried Jeffrey, but it was too late. He heard the combination lock turn. He and his friends were locked in the airtight vault. Pablo rushed to the vault door and grabbed the cold metal handle. The cord-like muscles on his forearms strained as he pushed, pulled, twisted, and turned. But it was no use, the door wouldn't budge. "We're trapped," he said. "Trapped like rats." "At least until somebody finds us," said Marisol. She looked from one boy to the other. "I mean, somebody will have to find us, won't they?" "It's worse than that," Jeffrey said. "He set the timer." "Timer?" Jeffrey straightened his glasses. "This vault comes with a safety mechanism that's connected to a timer that can be set in the next room. When the safety mechanism is activated, the vault is flooded with poison gas." Marisol gasped. Pablo's face glazed white as a sheet. Jeffrey took off his glasses and covered his face with his hands. There was no way out. He was going to die and his friends were going to die, and it was all his fault. . . . A Christmas Mystery Book for Teens & Tweens A billion-dollar crime. A Christmas deadline. Four teen detectives who refuse to back down. When 15-year-old Jeffrey and his friends stumble onto a stash of suspicious cash right before Christmas, they think they’ve uncovered a small-time scam. They’re wrong. The teens soon realize they’ve stepped into the middle of a massive counterfeiting operation —one with enough fake money to flood Los Angeles and topple its economy. Worse, the criminal mastermind behind the scheme is ruthless and he knows the kids are onto him. As the city gears up for Christmas, Jeffrey and his friends race to piece together the clues. Their only hope is a lonely fifteen-year-old girl who holds a secret the counterfeiters will kill to protect. When the teens are trapped in an airtight vault set to release poison gas at midnight, they’re forced to rely on their courage, their friendship, and every bit of detective skill they’ve learned. Can they stop a billion-dollar crime before the clock strikes twelve?

Princess and Dragon

The text of this fairy tale was found as a manuscript, near a very old oak, while traveling through the endless fields and forests of Britain. The tale was written in several ancient European languages, alternating between each from one sentence to the next without any apparent logic, though there was probably some fabulous meaning hidden in it. The last sentences were written in modern Russian. Translators and linguists easily translated the manuscript, and, after reading the fairy tale, one teenaged girl painted pictures for it. But all this was probably not in such way, and perhaps everything had happened completely in another way... Read more

The narrative unfolds in a vibrant, lyrical style, effortlessly blending elements of realism and the fantastical, as it explores how children interact with art and how these experiences shape their identities.

The tiny town of Chewandswallow was very much like any other tiny town—except for its weather which came three times a day, at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But it never rained rain and it never snowed snow and it never blew just wind. It rained things like soup and juice. It snowed things like mashed potatoes. And sometimes the wind blew in storms of hamburgers. Life for the townspeople was delicious until the weather took a turn for the worse. The food got larger and larger and so did the portions. Chewandswallow was plagued by damaging floods and storms of huge food. The town was a mess and the people feared for their lives. Something had to be done, and in a hurry. Read more

RJ Learns

RJ Learn’s “Let’s go potty” was written to help provide speech delayed children to have a template to be able to communicate effectively when going to the toilet. Potty training speech-delayed children can be particularly challenging due to several factors. Communication barriers often make it difficult for these children to express their needs, such as when they need to use the toilet, leading to frustration and misunderstandings. Additionally, they may struggle to understand verbal instructions, complicating the process of following the necessary steps for potty training. Sensory sensitivities, which are common among some speech-delayed children, can also make the experience of using the toilet overwhelming. Key Features: Uses stories to provide visual learning cues, making the process easier to understand than verbal instructions alone. Presents potty training in a relatable and less intimidating context. Reinforces steps and expectations through repetition and consistency. Reduces anxiety and increases comfort with the new routine. Incorporates gestalts, or chunks of language, to enhance communication. Provides ready-made phrases for children to express their needs and understand instructions. This book is a labor of love, written for my son RJ, who has a speech delay. RJ is hyperlexic—he could read and recite the alphabet by the age of 2. However, it took another year and a half before he could communicate using functional language, as we didn’t initially realize he was a gestalt language processor. Once we, along with his speech therapists, recognized this, his progress accelerated. These books are designed specifically for him, integrating key phrases we want him to learn in various contexts. Through these stories, we strive to support his language development and assist other children with similar needs, incorporating everything we’ve learned and found effective for him. Read more
