Beschreibung

The last thing she needs is a prince. The first thing she needs is some magic. . . . “An uproarious adventure” from the New York Times–bestselling author! (Publishers Weekly) 
 
Poor Princess Anya. Stuck living with her evil stepmother’s new husband, her evil step-stepfather. Plagued with an unfortunate ability to break curses with a magic-assisted kiss. And forced to go on the run when her step-stepfather decides to make the kingdom entirely his own. 
 
Aided by a loyal talking dog, a boy thief trapped in the body of a newt, and some extraordinarily mischievous wizards, Anya sets off on a Quest that, if she plays it right, will ultimately free her land—and teach her a thing or two about the use of power, the effectiveness of a well-placed pucker, and the finding of friends in places both high and low. 
 
With Frogkisser!, acclaimed author Garth Nix has conjured a fantastical tale for all ages, full of laughs and danger, surprises and delights, and an immense population of frogs. It’s 50% fairy tale, 50% fantasy, and 100% pure enjoyment from start to finish.

    Forced to flee the city of Happyland, Pepper, a stray dog in search for his lost master, takes shelter in a tool shed situated in Tucker’s family backyard. His hopes to remain undetected are ruined when one of the Tucker kids stumbles upon him and takes him inside, as a pet. 
    For a few days, Pepper enjoys a sweet and safe life. He is groomed, fed and loved. But when he sees his mugshot grinning from some lost-dog posters glued to the lamp poles in the street, he smells trouble. His biggest enemies, the mutts of Tank’s gang, would track him down for sure. 
    It didn’t even cross his mind that he may also be found by his master. And before long, a man rings the doorbell at Tucker’s, presenting himself as the dog’s owner. Pepper should be happy, but is he? 
    The Winter’s Claw follows Pepper and his friends - Puppanela, a female dog, Wizzy, a wizard mouse, and Hank, a newspaper journalist, - on a journey from heaven to hell, in which the party takes on a fight against human malice.  
    The Winter’s Claw, the second instalment of the series Adventures in Happyland, is a survival story about a reluctant hero and the quest of his life.

    Sandwiched between the ocean and the mountains surrounding the Pueblo de Los Angeles, wealthy Spanish caballeros live side by side with Native Americans. One boy with both Spanish and Indian blood belongs to both worlds. He is Diego de la Vega, who will one day wear the mask of Zorro.As a boy Diego is more concerned with riding horses and making mischief with his best friend, Bernardo, than about fighting injustice. But when men start disappearing from the pueblo of Los Angeles and cattle are missing from Diego's father's rancho, Diego and Bernardo encounter an injustice so wicked that they must take action.Inspired by Isabel Allende's novel Zorro, which reveals how Diego de la Vega became the legendary masked hero, Young Zorro: The Iron Brand introduces readers to a land of vaqueros and kidnappers -- an exciting world in which a young hero is formed.First introduced in 1919, the legend of Zorro, "the fox," swiftly grew into a phenomenon. A hero of Spanish California with a dual identity, Zorro has vanquished evildoers and conquered hearts in books, movies, and television series around the world. Most recently the Zorro tale has been brought to life by Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones in the 1998 major motion picture The Mask of Zorro and its 2005 sequel, The Legend of Zorro.
