The sequel to Five Children and It follows the wondrous adventures
of Robert, Jane, Cyril, Anthea, and The Lamb as they discover a
clever phoenix and a magic carpet. The children find an egg in the
carpet, which hatches into a talking Phoenix. The Phoenix explains
that the carpet is a magic one that will grant them three wishes a
day. The children are on a fantastic ride with the hopelessly vain
but good-hearted phoenix and his flying carpet. They travel to a
French castle, to a tropical island, foil a burglar, arrange a
marriage, change people's disposition, and have to figure out how
to get 199 Persian cats, 398 muskrats, a cow, and a policeman out
of their house. Their charming adventures not only entertain but
teach them, and the reader, a few gentle lessons." The Phoenix and
the Carpet" is a wonderful book for the young and the young at
heart. The adventures are continued and concluded in the third book
of the trilogy, "The Story of the Amulet"
THE PIED PIPER OF HAMELIN The town is suffering from a serious rat
infestation. A mysterious piper stranger dressed in multicolored
("pied") clothing appeared, known as the Pied Piper. He promised
the mayor a solution to their problem with the rats. He says that
he can cast a spell over rats by playing his flute. The mayor
promises to pay the Piper handsomely if he rids the town of the
rats. When the Piper gets rid of the vermin, however, the mayor
offers him much less money than he originally agreed to give him.
The angry Piper plays his flute again and makes all of Hamelin's
children follow him out of town.
At the end of Five Children and It Robert, Anthea, Cyril, and Jane
promised not to ask the Psammead for another wish as long as they
lived, but expressed a half wish to see it again some time. The
children are reunited with the Psammead in a London pet store; the
Psammead can't grant their wishes anymore - not after the last
adventure - but he does tell them where to find half of an amulet
of great power. The ancient Amulet can grant them their heart's
desire and journey through time. The children desire the return of
their parents, and their magic adventures start over again with a
journey through time to ancient Babylon, Egypt, and Atlantis. The
trilogy of Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet and The
Story of the Amulet.
FIVE CHILDREN AND IT The Five Children Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane,
and Hilary the baby go to the country, they decide to go digging in
a sand pit. There they find a furry creature with two horns on its
head holding its eyes. The creature is the Psammead, a grumpy
sand-fairy, the last of his kind, who grants a wish a day. Soon
they find their wishes never seem to turn out right and often have
unexpected consequences. The Five Children and IT offers a generous
amount of fantasy, humor, and adventure, as the children are
repeatedly subject to wishes gone comically wrong.
The Call of the Wild is one of Jack London's most popular novels.
The story follows a dog named Buck, a 140 pound Saint Bernard and
Scotch Shepherd mix. Buck is abducted from a comfortable life as a
pet and tossed into the chaos of the Klondike Gold Rush and the
brutal realities of frontier life. The Call of the Wild was
enormously popular from the moment it was published. H. L. Menken
wrote of London's story: "No other popular writer of his time did
any better writing than you will find in Call of the Wild."

Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert are unmarried siblings who live on
their ancestral farm, Green Gables, in the quiet town of Avonlea in
Prince Edward Island, Canada. They apply to adopt a boy from an
orphanage. By mistake, however, a red-haired, freckle-faced
11-year-old girl named Anne Shirley is sent to the Cuthbert
siblings. They decide to keep her despite her not being of the
appropriate gender. Anne takes much joy in life and adapts quickly,
thriving in the close-knit farming village. Her imagination and
talkativeness soon brighten up Green Gables. Though Anne has good
intentions, she gets into a lot of trouble. She often finds herself
in conflict with her adoptive mother and other local women, as she
has trouble acting like a "proper lady" and abiding by standard
rules of etiquette and social expectations. The Cuthbert's agree;
she is special - a girl with an enormous imagination.
