The Wooden Children of Saba (Paperback)

When Carpenter, Bob Goodner built his home on the side of the mountain, for his wife Mary the wooden house became the most extraordinary house in the village of Saba where they live. It is the envy of Saba's richer citizens. The couple has eight children. Bob fulfilling the wishes of his wife, crafted a piece of furniture for each of his children on which they were born, not knowing how important these furnishings would be to them. The Goodners were happy until an accident forced the family to mortgage their home with the ruthless Mr. Sipal Quartermine the village banker who had always wanted to possess the Goodner's house. The family struggled to pay the mortgage for several years until another catastrophic event limited the family's income and months before the loan was paid off, the banker foreclosed on the Goodner's beloved home and moved into it with his wife. Forced out of their home, and leaving all their furnishings behind, the Goodners move in with their friends, Lloyd and Lori Smith. The children miss their home and furniture desperately and want nothing more than to return to them. In this children's book titled, "The Wooden Children of Saba" the story continues when the eight Goodner children, Sofia, Chris, Tabatha, Ben, the twins, Sirius and Patrick, Toby and little Adora, meet an old woman named Sabina who is a magician banished from her clan. Sabina uses her limited magic to put an enchantment on the children turning them into their beloved furniture at night. Disguised as furniture in their former home the children and Sabina attempt to frighten Mr. Quartermine and his wife away by playing tricks on them but in the meantime learn how diabolical the banker really is. How are the Goodner children with the help of Sabina going to get the most incredible house in Saba back?
