Sinopsis

“How brave are you?”“Not very.”“Well, you will be tomorrow.”

 
Twelve-year-old Lizzie is in trouble.  She used to live a comfortable life with her loving father, but after the stock market crash of 1929 and his sudden death, she and her family now live in poverty. Lizzie is expected to help support the family, but she can’t even cook without burning food. One day, a letter arrives. Her wealthy uncle has offered her a paying job as a summer governess for her two young cousins at a remote logging camp, so she travels alone into the wilderness of Vancouver, British Columbia. To her horror, she discovers that her uncle is missing from the camp.  Penniless and stranded, Lizzie’s worst fears are soon confirmed—she is being held hostage by the camp's boss. “Accidents are easy to explain in the woods,” he writes in a ransom letter to her uncle. Lizzie learns that in order to survive, she will have to perform the most dangerous job at the camp—the high climber. She has one chance to save herself and return to her family. Her intelligence and bravery will be tested to the limit as she pulls on the climber harness to prove to everyone, including herself, what she is truly capable of.

In this middle grade “choose your own adventure” story, the reader decides whether to take on animal morphing powers to help battle an alien invasion. 
 
Hey. We’re sure you already know the deal, but in case you don’t, there’s an alien invasion going on. Right here. Right now. We’re not talking about little green guys. And no, we’re not nuts. But this invasion is the reason we have the power to morph into any animal we touch. To acquire its DNA. To try and battle these Yeerks—that’s what the aliens call themselves. 
 
But things have gotten worse. And we need backup. A new Animorph. We’ve tried this once before and it didn’t work out. At all. We’re gonna try again. So, since you know what we’re up against, can we trust you? 
 
Are you ready to be an Animorph?

The fifth book in the hilarious Magnificent Mabel series, highly illustrated throughout and with three short stories - perfect for newly-confident readers.

Meet Mabel - she's MAGNIFICENT.

Sometimes life isn't fair for Mabel Chase. Like for instance she isn't allowed to go Trick or Treating on HALLOWEEN because she has to visit a relative instead. And even though there's a monster living under her bed, her parents STILL won't let her have a brand-new high-up bunk bed which wouldn't have ANY hiding spots for monsters. And NO-ONE at school believes her when she spots aliens in the playground. But none of that matters in the end ... because Mabel is still MAGNIFICENT.

But none of that matters in the end ... because Mabel is still MAGNIFICENT.
