This is the first book in the series and for the first book, I thought that starting with Gabby's A B C 's would be fun. I have several more ideas for all my books. There will be many more to come.

Teenage cousins are accidentally transported to a world of magic and peril in this YA steampunk fantasy from two New York Times–bestselling authors. Born only five hours part, cousins Gwen and Vic have always been close. But when Vic’s mother disappeared, and Gwen’s parents died under mysterious circumstances, they needed each other more than ever. Now both fourteen years old, they’re about to face yet another challenge together—when Vic’s scientist father accidentally transports them through a magical doorway to the island of Elantya—a wonder-filled place of magic and steampunk technology. Vic and Gwen are soon caught in a tempest of ancient magic, bizarre gadgets, vicious creatures. But before they can return home, they must face fierce battles in a territorial feud with the sea-dwelling merlons, an age-old conflict between the bright and dark sages . . . and Gwen and Vic’s own mysterious roots. “A charming young adult novel . . . promises to keep readers turning the pages for many books to come.” —Terry Brooks, The New York Times–bestselling author of The Sword of ShannaraMostra libro

“The story’s gentle surprises are sure to delight, as will the birds’ happy reunion.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) Toddlers and beginning readers will love joining in on the quest for a missing mother chicken in this sweet book by the beloved, award-winning author and illustrator that shows how appearances can be deceiving . . . “Two little chicks play hide-and-seek with their mother. But though they find her easily enough on their first two tries, the game becomes more difficult; the shape of the comb on top of the hen’s head turns out to be very like the petals of a flowering tree, the fur of a growling dog, and the rays of the rising sun . . . There’s a nice balance of predictability and surprise in Gomi’s narrative that should appeal to preschoolers.” —The New York TimesMostra libro
“[The] fourth of the light-hearted Arthurian Knights’ Tales . . . a 21st-century spin on the ancient legends” from the author of The Squire’s Tales (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Many years ago, the storytellers say, the great King Arthur brought justice to England with the help of his gallant knights of the roundtable. While most of King Arthur’s knights freely chose a life of duty, for Sir Balin the Ill-Fated, destiny was foretold in a prophecy. And seriously, “ill-fated” is right there in his title, so Balin’s not surprised when things go sour. Still, no matter how dire the task, a loyal and gallant knight never refuses adventure! Will Sir Balin finally discover his true destiny? And which ill-fated path will he have to choose? Join Balin on this, the noblest quest of all. “Lots of humor, wordplay, and numerous twists and turns.” —School Library Journal Praise for The Knights’ Tales series “With his quirky sense of myth and legend and tongue-in-cheek humor, [Morris] brings to life the court of King Arthur and his knights.” —Curled Up with a Good Kid’s Book “The book’s brevity and humor make it accessible to reluctant readers, and it is a fantastic read-aloud.” —School Library Journal “This trim novel, with simple vocabulary and brief, witty chapters, is an ideal fit for early readers . . . but fans of the legendary characters may find particular delight in this irreverent and unabashedly silly exploration of Arthur’s court and his most influential knight.” —The Bulletin “This is often quite funny, and just exciting enough to capture the attention of budding young Arthur-philes.” —BooklistMostra libro
