From the West African fable of Anansi the Spider, to Michabo, the
magical hare who rebuilt the world and Tanuki, the sweet but
troublesome racoon-dog of Japanese folklore, Mythopedia is an
encyclopedia of mythical creatures that covers legends, tales and
myths from around the world. Lovingly created by the illustration
duo behind popular flipbook Myth Match, Good Wives and Warriors,
this book contains pages upon pages of cultural folklore from
around the world. Let these weird and wonderful creatures spark
your child's imagination for their own storytelling and drawing
while teaching them about international cultures.
A beautifully illustrated guide to the fairy folk of the world,
with magical stories, maps revealing their locations and amazing
tales of close encounters. Do you think of fairies as small, winged
creatures? Well, they can be, but did you know that they can also
be tinier than ants or as large as humans? Many do fly, but others,
such as the goblin and the gnome, walk on the ground as we do.
Magical, mysterious and sometimes mischievous, fairy folk can be
found all around the globe. Beautifully illustrated maps pinpoint
the locations of fairies on every continent, whilst special feature
spreads take a closer look at fairy lore, fairy magic and rare
sightings. From Cornish pixies and Spanish goblins to the forest
gnomes of the Congo and the elf-like Veli of Fiji, welcome to the
wonderful world of the fairy folk!
"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to
make it come true."
--Richard Bach
Many teenagers feel that high school is one of the most
difficult and confusing times of their life. Life rides a roller
coaster as it hits its fantastic highs and then drops back down to
its unwanted lows. This is natural; it happens to everyone.
Unfortunately, many teenagers feel alone in the world. They wonder
why they were punished and everyone else's life seems to be going
so well.
The collection of poems in "You're not Alone" reflects the pain,
confusion, love, hate, heartbreak, anxiety, and loneliness that all
teenagers go through at one point and time. It reminds them that
they are not rowing the boat by themselves but rather, that they
have an entire crew rowing with them. They are all attempting to
reach a like goal: To make it through their teenage years.
Their wish will come true.
Wimpy Kid meets The Walking Dead in this hilarious series packed with monsters and zombies.
The highly-anticipated 6th book of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling series, with over 3 million copies in print!
Jack Sullivan, Quint Baker, June Del Toro, and Dirk Savage are about to have their biggest adventure yet. That’s right–it’s ROAD TRIP TIME!
Now wielding the Midnight Blade, Jack Sullivan and the gang are furiously searching for the villainous Thrull and his skeleton army. The clock is ticking: the enemy has begun constructing the Tower–a portal with the power to bring Rezzoch the Ancient, Destructor of Worlds, to our dimension. Equipped with a crucial clue discovered by June on her Wild Flight, the group does the once-unthinkable: they leave Wakefield behind and embark on an . . . EPIC ROAD TRIP! That means music blasting, kitschy roadside attractions, snacks snacks snacks, dangerous detours, and a slew of zombies and monsters at every turn. But this is no ordinary post-apocalyptic joyride. Because soon, they are pursued by a new threat: the return of a monster they thought long dead, who has taken on a terrifying new form. Jack, June, Quint, and Dirk will be lucky to make it far enough to find the answers they seek. But when the future of the world depends on it, these heroes don’t pump the brakes–they go full throttle.
This deliciously spooky, yearningly romantic ghost story from a
brilliant debut author will thrill fans of Kalynn Bayron and Wilder
Girls by Rory Power. Jade Nguyen has always lied to fit in. She's
straight enough, Vietnamese enough, American enough - at least for
this summer with her estranged father in Vietnam. Just five weeks
of ignoring the quietly decaying French colonial house he's fixing
up, then college and freedom are hers. But soon Jade begins waking
up every morning certain that something has clawed down her throat
... from the inside. Then the ghost of a beautiful bride visits her
with a cryptic warning: DON'T EAT. When her father and little
sister don't believe her, Jade decides to scare them into leaving
by staging some haunting events of her own. She recruits Florence,
the daughter of her dad's business associate (and more of a
distraction than Jade bargained for) to help. But the house has
other plans. It's hungry. A home, after all, is only as powerful as
those who breathe new life into its bones. And this one is
determined never to be abandoned again ...
Dawn caught the darkness unaware, the sun springing from behind the
mountains like a rabid cat to devour the moon's sliver. During the
course of the night the temperature about Heartbreak Ridge had
risen to exceed a hundred degrees. Below its western rim the
massive wilderness of Whisperland was hotter still. To the south,
the animals of New Eden had amassed sixty-some-odd deep and over a
kilometer wide. Across from them, the gladiators of the
Fleshstalkers and the Rebel Skys loomed as a formidable challenge.
In the backdrop, Warbird posed his bloodshot eyes to a trio of
figures at the fall line of the plateau-the great roan stallion and
his riders, the human trash who dared interfere with the inevitable
outcome of the epic battle. Galahad felt certain he was on the
threshold of an epiphany, just as he knew that nothing short of one
would save the kingdom.
Dress the fairies for dancing with elegant swans, waltzing with
swirling snowflakes and having their wishes granted by their fairy
godmother in this magical addition to the best-selling Sticker
Dolly Dressing series.
A classic collection of tales for young readers of about six,
featuring beloved characters and lively stories by P.L. Travers,
Jill Barklem, Michael Morpurgo and others, chosen by children's
book expert, Julia Eccleshare. The Banks family are searching for a
nanny; Macaw the parrot helps out at the fish and chip shop and a
stonecutter dreams of becoming an emperor... These classic stories
are wonderful to share and enjoy with your child at any time of the
year, or would make the perfect birthday gift.
