Summary

Best-selling author Clyde Robert Bulla's classic, finely-crafted Arthurian tale with its sword fights, dark and dangerous dungeon, roguish knaves, action-packed showdowns and tales of dangerous feats, will appeal to emerging readers who are ready for chapter books and reluctant tween readers alike. 
In the days of King Arthur there stood a mighty oak tree within the walls of a castle. Peace reigned in the castle until the fearsome night when Lionel, long-lost brother of Lord Weldon, returned to cause trouble and unhappiness. 
It was then that Shan, the son of Lord Weldon, took on the duties of a knight and hid the sword in the hollow of the giant oak. The days that followed were filled with adventures that tried the courage of the young boy. 
Shan was surprised by bearded robbers in the woods. He met noble knights in plumed helmets, and eventually he even made a trip to high-towered Camelot. His story is filled with the pageantry and color of England in King Arthur's time. It creates a vivid picture of the Knights of the Round Table and the wisdom of King Arthur himself.

    THE MOONLIGHT MYSTERY CLUB ARE ALL SET FOR ANOTHER MAGICAL ADVENTURE! 
 
Pandora is an impulsive teen witch with funky pink-and-black bangs and a wicked sense of humor. She makes up exactly one quarter of the Moonlight Mystery Club, alongside naive Scarlett, independent Foxglove, and perfectionistic Maya.

In this adventure ... 
 
Pandora is working toward earning her performance badge, which (like many junior witchcraft badges) has a component of doing a good deed. She is going to perform in a witch's retirement home to cheer the older people up. However, she is nervous about her singing ability ... so she makes a potion to improve her voice. 
 
The only problem is that it's too good! When other kids at school hear her rehearsing, they form a crazed fan club and start chasing her about. Now she gets a taste of what it might be like to be a world-famous celebrity!

    Moving to an old Vermont farmhouse with his mom, his new stepfather and a new baby brother has been a terribly lonely experience for Josh Wilkinson. And to make things even worse, now the school bully and his gang have picked Josh as their main target.  
Then one day while trying to find his dog, Manch, in the woods behind his house, Josh discovers a secret. Manch and his friends can talk! Not only that, but they're also faced with a bully problem -- a pack of dogs running wild in the area. Josh thinks he can solve the dogs' problem and his own with a single solution. The only hitch to Josh's plan is that it's dangerous.  
Like Katherine Paterson's award-winning books Bridge to Terabithia and Jacob Have I Loved, The Field of the Dogs is filled with taut suspense and compelling characters, all brought grippingly to life through Johnny Heller's remarkable narration.
