In Sika Longtooth's line of work, the potential for risk is
always present no matter how simple the job. And those risks are
often downwind of him-out of range for even his keen nostrils. As
the young beaver ambles along the trails in the Great Forest, he
has no idea that an evil force lurks in the shadows.
In a time when the world is different and the creatures in the
forest are close to all the mysteries, Sika is suddenly whisked
away from the only life he knows and-to protect his forest-is
forced into battle with a fierce enemy. Used to living within the
predictable and ordinary, Sika now must move from one dangerous
situation to another while in the company of a slow-talking
porcupine, an excitable skunk, and two spirited squirrels. If Sika
is to survive and ultimately save the Great Forest, he must first
endure perils that no beaver has before.
From one unexpected turn of events to the next, an unlikely hero
emerges. Now he must determine who is friend and who is foe- before
the forest disappears forever.
From a three-time Newbery Honor author: Harry Houdini Marco had it
hard enough as a normal clumsy twelve-year-old—but growing wings
made it even worse. Â Except for his unusual name, Harry
Houdini Marco is unremarkable in every way. While his namesake was
the greatest illusionist of all time, Harry can’t even catch a
ball. He is on the verge of a long, boring summer—and he is
dreading every moment of it. Then he meets a mysterious
traveling salesman named Mr. Mazzeeck. But Mr. Mazzeeck is more
than a traveling salesman, he’s a wizard—at least, he claims to
be. Before he leaves town, Mr. Mazzeeck gives Harry a bottle of

Harry’s amazement, the oil works: He gets wings! Now he just has
to figure out how to use them. This book features an extended
biography of Zilpha Keatley Snyder.
