Summary

“Children will enjoy the story and be encouraged to have delicious fun in the kitchen.”     —Holly Clegg, spokesperson for the Louisiana Sweet Potato Commission and author of the Trim & Terrific cookbook series  “A charming tale, cooked up with Southern sass. Made to be read aloud and savored.”  —Bruce Hale, author of Snoring Beauty and the Chet Gecko series  “Another winner from a talented writer and storyteller.”  —Robert D. San Souci, author of The Talking Eggs When Ma Farmer gets a hankering for some sweet potato pie, she decides to plant a sweet potato in her garden. But when it comes time to harvest, the sweet potato has grown to be so enormous that it is stuck! So Ma grabs Pa, but the sweet potato still won’t budge. Soon Bessie Cow, Ralphie Dog, and Kitty Cat join in to help; that sweet potato sure is stubborn. When itty-bitty Lily Mouse offers to help, everyone soon learns that a small and mighty effort can yield GIGANTIC rewards.  This sweet adaptation of the Russian folktale “The Giant Turnip” features vibrant watercolor illustrations to accompany the singsong text. Ma Farmer’s secret (and kid-friendly) recipe for sweet potato pie and sweet potato fun facts complete the book.

The last Pegasus in the world has been discovered and when Ben learns the legendary horse has three unhatched eggs that need to be protected, he vows to help.

But griffins are the most dangerous creatures in the world, and their mortal enemies are dragons . . . Ben vows not to tell his beloved dragon Firedrake about his quest, if only to protect him. But as Ben sets off for a remote island where the terrible griffins are rumored to live, he may just need the help of his best friend and dragon . . .

    'They call me Bugs. As in Bunny. Yeah I know.' Meet Bugs: smart, sarcastic, sixteen and stuck in a small town without a driver's license. Bugs has been best mates with Jez forever, they've always been Jez and Bugs, Bugs and Jez. That is until Stone Cold, the new girl, arrives in town. Year 12 was already going to be a challenge without adding spoilt, bitchy Stone Cold to the mix. Why would anyone want to be mates with her? But things are never as they seem on the surface - not the picture perfect postcard views of Taupo, not the drama queen antics of Stone Cold, not the quiet brooding of Jez. Not even Bugs. Now as the future closes in, each will struggle with expectation; either trying to live up to them, or trying to live them down.
