Synopsis

This volume from Evelyn Sharp is a rare gem. Each story is delightful and each has an equally delightful illustration. Read your children a new one each night, and you will find they are the perfect stories to get them to drift off to sleep with pleasant, fairy-filled dreams.
The stories in this volume are:
I. The Country Called Nonamia
II. Why The Wymps Cried
III. The Story Of Honey And Sunny
IV. The Little Princess And The Poet
V. The Wonderful Toymaker
VI. The Professor Of Practical Jokes
VII. The Doll That Came Straight From Fairyland
VIII. Those Wymps Again!
Evelyn Sharp was as dedicated as an author as she was an historical figure, and she deserves a larger modern readership. Sharp, and maybe Dickens, were the only authors included disabilities in their writings. This, accompanied by her strong, concise storytelling (the perfect length for little minds and easily-distracted adults) and her radical life story make her one of my favorite figures from the period.
Sharp was a dedicated feminist during the suffragette era and refused to pay her taxes. All her belongings, including her type-writer were seized and sold to pay off her debts.
10% of the publisher’s profit will be donated to Charities.

    In this middle grade “choose your own adventure” story, the reader decides what choices to make when an alien threatens to kill their character’s father. 
     
    It’s time for our next mission and it’s up to you to decide whether you want to join us. You probably already realize that each mission—each battle—could mean alien infestation, or worse. You probably already realize that we win about as many as we lose. But we are managing to hold the Yeerks back, and one more person could make all the difference. 
     
    Just so you know, there are going to be a lot of decisions to make. The right answers keep us alive. The wrong ones—well that’s pretty obvious. So what do you think? Are you ready to become a weapon against the alien invasion? Are you ready to morph—to change from an ordinary kid into an animal, a bird or insect, all in the name of saving the world? 
     
    Are you ready to be an Animorph?

    #1 New York Times Bestseller: Two teens are pulled into a mysterious realm in a story with “an irresistible mix of adventure, humor, and magic” (Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series). 
     
    Jason Walker has often wished his life could be a bit less predictable—until a routine day at the zoo ends with Jason suddenly transporting from the hippo tank to a place unlike anything he’s ever seen. In the past, the people of Lyrian welcomed visitors from the Beyond, but attitudes have changed since the wizard emperor Maldor rose to power. The brave resisters who opposed the emperor have been bought off or broken, leaving a realm where fear and suspicion prevail. 
     
    In his search for a way home, Jason meets Rachel, who was also mysteriously drawn to Lyrian from our world. With the help of a few scattered rebels, Jason and Rachel become entangled in a quest to piece together the word of power that can destroy the emperor—and learn that their best hope to find a way home will be to save this world without heroes. 
     
    “Headlong adventure scenes, inventively conceived creatures, and surprising plot twists.” —Booklist 
     
    “Humorous and imaginative scenarios. . . Mull has taken the tried-and-true quest genre and reinvigorated it with [an] extremely well-written follow-up to his bestselling Fablehaven series.” —Los Angeles Times
