    The author and her eight-year-old granddaughter, Clara, explore the world of their imaginations in this unique children’s book illustrated by Clara.   What if it were possible . . . for a dog to climb a tree? What if it were possible to climb like you and me? What if pretty butterflies could spread their wings and swim? And elephants could wear their trunks while working out at gyms? Anything can happen if you think it might. In your imagination, ANYTHING is RIGHT!   Eight-year-old Clara has a vivid imagination. One day while visiting her Yia-Yia, author Joanne Miller, they watched Clara’s dog, Harley, desperately try to climb a tree to get a squirrel. Then Joanne asked Clara a provocative question: “What if it were possible for a dog to climb a tree?”   And the rest is history.   Joanne and Clara had lots of giggles coming up with crazy lines for this book, and Clara drew each illustration with water color pencils. Clara and her Yia Yia don’t believe play and imagination are only for children. In What If It Were Possible? they demonstrate the limitless wonders we can discover in our minds.

    A “charming” story of an inexperienced aspiring witch trying to prove her worth—and taking on a bigger battle than she bargained for (Publishers Weekly). 
     
    Arianwyn has flunked her witch’s assessment. She’s doomed. Declared an apprentice and sent to the town of Lull in disgrace, she may never become a real witch—much to the glee of her obnoxious arch-rival, Gimma. 
     
    But remote Lull is not as boring as it seems. Strange things are sighted in the woods, a dangerous infestation of hex creeps throughout the town, and a mysterious magical visitor arrives with his eye on her. With every spirit banished, creature helped, and spell cast, Arianwyn starts to get the hang of being a witch—even if she’s only an apprentice. But the worst still lies ahead. For a sinister darkness has begun to haunt her spells, and there may be much more at stake than just her pride—for Arianwyn and the entire land. 
     
    “Arianwyn is a likable hero, with well-drawn struggles.” —The New York Times Book Review 
     
    “With brisk pacing and sophisticated writing, this book is one of those rare, unputdownable gems. [It] is somewhat reminiscent of J.K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and fans of magical fantasy will be enthralled with the details of this fascinating world.” —School Library Journal  
     
    “Will at once open a new and imaginative world and feel like a book you have loved forever.” —Jennifer Nielsen, New York Times–bestselling author of The False Prince

Always the optimist, Joe used to say, “Because of the accident, I met the girl I was going to marry, so it was all worth it.”Matt wants to go back in time to prevent the accident from ever occurring, so his grandfather can have the career he deserved! But can he successfully alter his grandfather’s past without changing his own future? Only time will tell…

And when Vulgar's arch-enemy Gunnar turns up in the same event, the stage is set for the most ill-tempered and chaotic goat-hurdling race in Viking history.
