Charlotte and her family have lived abroad in the famous artist colony in Giverny, France, for a year, when an exciting invitation arrive. The celebrated American Impressionist Mary Cassat is having an exhibition in Paris.

Illustrated with stunning museum reproductions and lovely watercolor paintings and collages, the book also includes biographical sketches of the featured painters. Charlotte’s charming scrapbook will leave readers of all ages shouting, “Vive Paris!” Praise for Charlotte in Paris “[A] delightful heroine. . . . [A] charming offering.” —Booklist“The narrative is breathless and chock-full of incidental characters, including every dog Charlotte meets. Sweet’s delicate watercolors of details like “les parapluies” and “la citronade” represent the protagonist’s paintings and fully balance the fine-art reproductions that appear throughout. . . . This enchanting episode in Charlotte’s life introduces Paris, gardening, and an exciting period in the art world.” —School Library Journal

    In this fantasy adventure, a young girl visits a land where birds carry off men, fish eat human flesh, and she must rescue a pilfered lake. Readers who have followed Dido Twite’s escapades in Black Hearts in Battersea and Nightbirds on Nantucket will welcome her return in her wildest escapade yet. Now back in print, The Cuckoo Tree and The Stolen Lake continue the Wolves Chronicles, the exhilarating and imaginative series that stemmed from Joan Aiken’s classic The Wolves of Willoughby Chase. A dazzling piece of dramatic, snowballing adventure, The Stolen Lake is full of fantastical details: revolving palaces, witches who are also court dressmakers, an apocalyptic volcanic eruption, and an infernal country with a noticeable lack of female children. On her way back to London aboard the British man-of-war Thrush, twelve-year-old Dido Twite finds herself and the crew summoned to the aid of the tyrannical queen of New Cumbria. A neighboring king has stolen the queen’s lake and is holding it for ransom, and it’s up to Dido and the crew to face fire, flood, execution, and wild beasts to get the lake back—or else.Perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and Roald Dahl “Aiken lures us into historical fantasy . . . our interest never slows.” —School Library Journal “The adventure Miss Aiken has dished up . . . in The Stolen Lake is zanier and more devilishly fiendish than ever.” —New York Times
