Sinopsis

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: The life of L. Frank Baum, the father of Oz, a fall from success to disaster


Originally published in 1911, "The Sea Fairies" is a children's fantasy novel written by American author L. Frank Baum. Baum is best known for his children's books, particularly “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” and its sequels.
As an underwater fantasy, Baum's "The Sea Fairies" can be classed with earlier books with similar themes, like Charles Kingsley's "The Water-Babies", and successors too, like E. Nesbit's "Wet Magic".

"The Sea Fairies" chronicles the adventures of Mayre "Trot" Griffiths, a small girl living on the coast of California, and her close friend and companion Cap'n Bill, formerly her father's employer and now a retired seaman with a wooden leg. As they walk along the beach one day, Trot wishes that she could see a mermaid. Nearby mermaids overhear her, and grant her wish, appearing to her and the Cap'n the next day. The mermaids explain that they are "sea fairies," and offer the girl a chance to experience their world. Trot is eager to go; Bill is not, but is too loyal to let Trot go by herself. Magically transformed, the two embark on an underwater adventure.

"The Sea Fairies" was followed by a successful sequel published the following year, "Sky Island." Both books were intended as parts of a projected long-running fantasy series to replace the Oz books.

The third installment of the popular Lemonade War series finds siblings Evan and Jessie Treski at their grandmother's Vermont house for the holidays, solving another mystery. 
Everything about this trip to Grandma’s house was different: 
First, because of the fire, Mrs. Treski, Evan, and Jessie had driven up to Grandma’s two days after Christmas instead of the day before, missing Christmas with Grandma entirely. 
Second, the fire had left a hole in the back kitchen wall big enough to drive a car through! And with Grandma in the hospital and not in her house, everything felt off. 
Third, someone had climbed the long, slow slope of Lovell Hill to the top and had stolen the old iron bell hanging on its heavy wooden crossbeam. 
Who on earth would steal the New Year’s Bell? And how could Grandma, Mrs. Treski, Evan, Jessie, and their neighbors ring in the New Year without it? 
Like a modern-day Beverly Cleary, Ms. Davies writes with heart, humor, and honesty about the inevitability of profound change and reveals just how well she understands the complex emotions of the children. 
The six books in this fun-to-read series are:The Lemonade WarThe Lemonade Crime The Bell Bandit The Candy Smash The Magic Trap The Bridge Battle
