This heroic tale was inspired by a true story that took place over
500 years ago. It tells of Katje the windmill cat who lives happily
with Nico, the miller, in a Dutch village by the sea. But when Nico
brings home his new bride, everything changes. Katje is shooed away
by Lena as she sweeps the house or when she finds Katje playing
with the new baby. Eventually poor Katje leaves her home and moves
into the windmill. But when a storm breaks the dike that holds back
the sea, Katje performs a feat of extraordinary courage that makes
her forever welcome in the house.
David is very upset when he is not allowed to join his older
brothers to fight the Philistines. He might be the youngest, but he
is no longer a little boy. When he finally gets his chance, he is
determined to make it count - but can David really defeat the
mighty giant, Goliath?

The 12th installment in the New York Times best-selling series asks: What if Rapunzel's mother drank a potion from the wrong flower?
Desperate to save the life of their queen and her unborn child, the good citizens of the kingdom comb the land for the all-healing Sundrop flower to cure her . . . but someone mistakenly picks the blossom of the Moondrop instead. This shimmering flower heals the queen and she delivers a healthy baby girl―with hair as silver and gray as the moon. But with her mysterious hair comes dangerous magical powers: the power to hurt, not heal. For the safety of the kingdom, Rapunzel is locked away in a tower and put under the care of the powerful goodwife, Mother Gothel.
For eighteen years Rapunzel stays imprisoned in her tower, knowing she must protect everyone from her magical hair. When she finally decides to leave the only home she's ever known―to see the floating lights that appear on her birthday―she gets caught up in an unexpected adventure with two thieves: a would-be outlaw named Gina, and Flynn Rider, a rogue on the run. Before she can reach her happy ending, Rapunzel learns that there is far more to her story, and her magical hair, and her future than she ever knew.
