Summary

The Mystery of Cabin Island (first published in 1929; revised in 1966) is the eighth book in The Hardy Boys mystery series, written under the pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon. The story follows teenage detectives Frank and Joe Hardy, who, along with their friends Chet Morton and Biff Hooper, are invited by Elroy Jefferson to spend Christmas vacation on his island—Cabin Island—located in a frozen bay near Bayport. The boys expect a fun winter holiday filled with skating and sleighing, but their plans take a mysterious turn when strange events begin to unfold. Their supplies are stolen, trespassers appear on the island, and the cabin itself seems to hide secrets from the past. The boys learn of a missing valuable stamp collection connected to Mr. Jefferson's late son, and they set out to solve the mystery. As they investigate, the Hardy Boys face natural dangers, deceitful intruders, and icy weather, but their persistence and clever reasoning lead them to uncover the hidden treasure and restore it to its rightful owner. Blending suspense, teamwork, and wholesome adventure, The Mystery of Cabin Island continues the Hardy Boys' legacy as classic youthful detectives driven by integrity and curiosity.

    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.

A mysterious fortune teller helps Zhen Yu’s father find her, but also warns him that one day his daughter will be bitten by a snake on her wedding night. Years later, as Zhen Yu is dressing for her wedding, a knock comes on the door. Although it is her wedding day, she is not too busy to show kindness to a stranger. She opens the door, sticking her hairpin into the silk wall, unknowingly killing the lurking snake that the fortune teller had foretold. “It was the mitzvah of giving to the poor that kept you safe,” says her father. Based on the Talmudic tale of Rabbi Akiva’s daughter and a snake.

    From acclaimed author Camryn Garrett comes a middle-grade mystery with a magical twist, about a girl who goes to live with her aunt in the summer after the loss of her father—and who finds a doorway in Central Park that leads to a magically preserved historical village 
  
Everything is changing, and twelve-year-old Rowan Robinson hates it. She’s dreading having to spend her summer in New York City with her Aunt Monica, even though she used to love it. But things are just different after her father passed away. Without him, nothing about her world feels the same. 
  
Things start to get a little better when Rowan brings her dad’s old camera to Central Park to take pictures. But as she’s snapping photos, she notices a strange mirror-like shape floating in the air. When she gets closer to it, she trips and falls through the portal, and after she lands, she finds herself in a different world: Seneca Village, where Black people with magical abilities seem to live in the past, in a time without phones or electricity. At first, Rowan thinks it must be a dream, but the more time she spends in the village with her new friend Lily, the more she wants it to be real. 
  
But outsiders aren’t even supposed to be able to find Seneca. Rowan and Lily aren’t sure how Rowan was able to see the portal, but they suspect it might have something to do with the girl who normally guards the portal having gone missing. As Rowan and Lily search for clues to help find the missing girl and uncover the truth of the portal’s magic, Rowan begins to realize what secrets this village might be hiding, and how the events of the past still linger in the present day. 
  
Filled with sparkling magic, honest explorations of grief, and moving depictions of a new friendship, The Forgotten Summer of Seneca asks us to remember a history that’s often overlooked—and imagine a future where we’re brave enough to embrace change. 
  
"Garrett weaves together themes of grief, resilience, healing, and friendship as Rowan faces the unwelcome certainty of change while experiencing joy in everyday moments. Examinations of contemporary and historical racism as well as approachable juxtapositions of the IRL fate of Seneca Village with its fictional counterpart of gifted, secluded descendants ground this fantastical adventure."—Publishers Weekly
