    A lost girl sets off on an adventure to help her new forest-dwelling friends in this magical tale. 
    A girl chases her lizard friends into the rain forest and finds herself on a series of magical adventures in Ronald Meade’s early reader Travels with Pinky the Invisible Dragon. 
    An unnamed girl winds up lost after she chases her animal friends into the brush. The lizards are soon forgotten, though: the girl is rescued by a group of friendly monkeys, who show her how to forage and lead her around the forest, hoping to help her find her way home. Day after day, they fail, but that’s okay: the girl settles into the rhythms of rain forest life. 
    But this peace is disturbed when the animals and the girl encounter bulldozers tearing down the trees. The girl, who’s learned to love the creatures and their habitats, resolves to assist. She sets off to locate the wizards who are rumored to live nearby, and who might have a solution to the encroachment. In the process, she encounters a unicorn, traverses a volcano, locates a cave, and meets an elf, among other surprise developments. In a castle filled with wise and busy beings, she is advised that the key to stopping environmental destruction is cultural understanding. She is sent on a global, dragon-back adventure to observe people in other lands. 
    This bedtime storybook is a must-read.

    From USA Today and #1 bestseller Morgan Rice comes A CALL OF TITANS (Book #18), the eighteenth book in the bestselling series THE SORCERER'S RING. The series begins with A QUEST OF HEROES (book #1), which has over 5,000 five star ratings!
    
    In A CALL OF TITANS, fifteen years of peace in the Ring are shattered when mysterious breaches appear in the magical Shield, allowing monsters to penetrate the kingdom's defenses. As Thor journeys north to investigate the disturbances, his young warrior son Guwayne struggles with living up to his father's legendary status—until a surprise attack on the kingdom forces him to prove his worth.
    
    But dark forces are at work within the Ring itself, as a cabal of nobles who have long plotted against the royal family seize their opportunity. With Thor facing unexpected dangers in the north, Gwendolyn must make impossible choices to protect her family and the realm she loves. 
    
    As threats converge from all directions, the royal family finds itself separated, with the future of the kingdom hanging in the balance—and each of them forced to face their greatest challenges alone.
    
    With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, THE SORCERER’S RING is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and monsters, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders.
