Summary

The door flew open, and Granny stared out at Cat with wild eyes.

'So,' she said, almost in a whisper, 'they're back.'

 

For the first time in over fifty years, the Trooping Fairies are in the small town of Clonbridge for their annual Revels. Their arrival awakens other creatures, who have mischief and chaos in mind.

Eleven-year-old Cat is in more danger than most. She has the Sight, like her Granny before her, and that makes her a magnet for all things supernatural. But when the wild magic hurts her family, she needs to find a friend she can really trust. Together they face real danger and must use all their wits and bravery to save those they love, before the sun rises …

    Holes meets The City of Ember in this imaginative, captivating, and humorous middle grade novel from New York Times bestselling adult author Michael Perry. When the world started to fall apart, the government gave everyone two choices: move into the Bubble Cities...or take their chances outside. Twelve-year-old Maggie and her family chose the latter. They live in the world that was left behind. Deciding it's time to grow up and grow tough, Maggie rechristens herself "Ford Falcon"-a name taken from the beat-up car she finds at a nearby junkyard. This is where Ford's family goes to scavenge for things they can use and barter with. Thus far, they have been able to survive this brave new world by working together. But when Ford returns one day to discover her home ransacked and her family missing, she must find the strength to survive on her own and rescue her loved ones. This wholly original tween novel combines a page-turning adventure, heartfelt family story, and triumphant journey of self-discovery. With Scavengers, Michael Perry achieves the perfect mix of humor and heart in a world where one person's junk is another person's key to survival.

    Tales of the Elf Storekeeper -...

    When the last customer leaves and the lights go down, the department store wakes up. The goods start to talk — and they all have a problem. 
A shirt on the rack is crying because nobody wants to take her home. A guitar string is hopelessly out of tune. A box of matches has grown far too vain. A doll that was built to wink simply can't. A toy car can only turn left. 
Luckily, someone is listening. The Elf Storekeeper is a small, kind-hearted sprite who knows the department store better than its manager and would give you the shirt off his back. He solves every problem with wit, patience and a great deal of love — and never with a lecture. 
Written by Vladimír Mráz — Czech director of the feature-length animated film Wonderful Show and creator of beloved children's television programmes Draci v hrnci and Tý Brďo! — these tales carry the warm, playful humour of the Jan Werich storytelling tradition: funny on the surface, quietly wise underneath. Twenty-six short stories, each about four minutes long and each ending with a gentle lesson, narrated in English by David Livingstone — who speaks directly to the children listening. 
Perfect bedtime listening for children aged 5 to 9, and for the grown-ups listening with them.
