Summary

The flames of the fire dance and hiss. I writhe in my ropes. They tear at my skin. The voices of the mob resound in my mind: "Witch, witch, witch!" A dark rift cuts through the fire with a roar. The rift expands. Flames, embers, and ashes whirl into the darkness. I'm flung into the darkness as well. In 17th century Denmark, witchcraft is a crime punishable by death. One day, a wanton accusation sends fourteen-year-old Dawn straight to the fire, but the ravenous flames leave her unscathed. Instead, mysterious forces send her on a dangerous journey to Luscuro; a magical world ravaged by war and destruction. She can never return home, but will she find her place in Luscuro? To prove her worth, she must pass the Element Trial. Mighty forces are at work, and soon, Dawn uncovers a secret that someone will do anything to keep … The Element Trial is the first book in the series The Rift to Luscuro. On her journey, Dawn discovers not only friendship and love – but enemies, a disastrous imbalance of power, and secrets much greater than any her hometown of Aalborg ever held. The books in the Luscuro universe have been awarded the prizes YA Book of the Year at the Mofibo Awards and Danish Fantasy Book of the Year by Dansk Fantasy.

    “Delightful and charming . . . Deliver[s] a valuable lesson on treating all such creatures with respect, without falling into the trap of being preachy.” —Kiddiespace  A Huntsman Spider in My House features a young girl concerned about the huge unwelcome guest in her room. Rather than reacting by immediately killing the spider, as commonly taught by society, she finds another way: She catches the Huntsman instead, and then releases it outside to let it live and contribute to the ecosystem of Australian fauna. The little girl’s actions show that insects are important, necessary, not so scary, and support the world too.   “The young, nameless female protagonist of Sylvie Ashford’s charming book speaks in rhyme as she explains the habits of Huntsman Spiders to children as well as to the adults that read the book aloud . . . We thoroughly endorse educating young children to have more tolerance for the lower beasts.” —What’s That Bug?   “The story follows her beautifully simplistic childlike thought process as she explores her feelings about it, and the ways in which the spider could be dealt with . . . It leaves you with a deep sense of satisfaction, and provides a practical fear-resolution solution to which kids of all ages can relate.” —Kiddiespace   “Michelle Ray, author of A Huntsman Spider in My House, does a wonderful job weaving a story to teach young children not to be afraid.” —The Education Cafe

His best friend Matthew thinks he’s exaggerating, so one weekend Zack brings him along and sure enough the turkey is laying in wait…this time for them both! The boys realize they need something to turn the tables, so they decide to build—in Rube Goldberg style—a giant LOUD contraption to scare the turkey away for good.What the boys don’t count on is the seemingly know-it-all neighbor Josie’s news that there’s a mysterious robber prowling around the neighborhood. Bracelets, necklaces, and coins have gone missing, and the odd thing is that the robber leaves V-shaped footprints…
