Synopsis

The first three books in Laurie Woodward's 'Artania Chronicles' series of fantasy novels, now available in one volume!
 
Artania - The Pharaohs' Cry: Eleven-year-old Bartholomew Borax III can’t go to school, play outside or make art, so he sketches in secret. After meeting the skateboarding painter, Alexander DeVinci, they're yanked into another realm by a magical painting. Their own world is very different than Artania: a world with living paintings and sculptures. But Artania is on the verge of destruction, and only Bartholomew's art can save it. With Egyptian gods and goddesses at his side, Bartholomew braves battles, duels and skateboarding escapes. But can he defeat the evil Sickhert's army and bring art back to the world?
 
The Kidnapped Smile: It has been a year since Alex and Bartholomew ventured into the mystical Artania. Once again they are called upon to keep this art-created world safe. But peril waits at every turn: Traitorous pirates, fearful gods and goddesses, and monsters of the deep. The world’s safety lies in their hands. Alex and Bartholomew, with their spunky sidekick Gwen, return to Artania - but can they wrench the kidnapped Mona Lisa from the hands of ruthless pirates?
 
Dragon Sky: Artania calls upon Alex, Gwen, and Bartholomew to save an endangered land. If the Golden Dragons do not return to the skies soon, all will turn to white. When they venture into this art-created world, Gwen is nowhere to be found. Thus begins a desperate search - but will they find the treasured Goldens and each other in time?

The Rabbit's Gift

Jessica Vitalis

“A timeless, tenderhearted story . . . thoroughly enchanting.”—Claire Legrand, New York Times–bestselling author of Furyborn
“This lush and colorful fairy tale is sure to be a delight for middle grade readers.”—School Library Journal (starred review)
What makes a hero or a villain? Can someone be both—or neither?
When the delicate balance between the people of a small country and the mythic rabbits of age-old lore is broken, putting everyone at risk, a young rabbit and a young girl must overcome their prejudices and learn to trust each other. This vivid and inventive novel from the acclaimed author of The Wolf’s Curse will captivate fans of Orphan Island and Scary Stories for Young Foxes.
Quincy Rabbit and his warren live a simple yet high-stakes life. In exchange for the purple carrots they need to survive, they farm and deliver Chou de vie (cabbage-like plants that grow human babies inside) to the human citizens of Montpeyroux. But lately, because of those selfish humans, there haven’t been enough carrots to go around. So Quincy sets out to change that—all he needs are some carrot seeds. He’ll be a hero.
Fleurine sees things a little differently. As the only child of the Grand Lumière, she’s being groomed to follow in her mother’s political footsteps—no matter how much Fleurine longs to be a botanist instead. Convinced that having a sibling will shift her mother’s attention, Fleurine tries to grow purple carrots, hoping to make a trade with the rabbits. But then a sneaky rabbit steals her seeds. In her desperation to get them back, she follows that rabbit all the way to the secret warren—and steals a Chou.
Quincy and Fleurine have endangered not just the one baby inside the Chou, but the future of Montpeyroux itself—for rabbits and humans alike. Now, they’ll have to find a way to trust each other to restore the balance.
Told from both Quincy’s and Fleurine’s perspectives, The Rabbit’s Gift will enchant fans of Katherine Applegate, Gail Carson Levine, and Anne Ursu.
