Sinossi

In "The Wishing Horse of Oz," Ruth Plumly Thompson continues the beloved Oz series with her signature whimsy and imaginative narrative style. This enchanting tale follows young Peter and his spirited companion, the Wishing Horse, as they embark on an adventurous quest across the magical land of Oz. Thompson's prose is imbued with a lightness that evokes a sense of joy and wonder, while her character-driven storytelling captures the essence of friendship and the pursuit of dreams, making it a delightful addition to the Oz canon. The book is also notable for its vibrant illustrations, which complement the fantastical elements of the plot and enrich the reader's experience of Oz's surreal landscape. Ruth Plumly Thompson, an accomplished author and poet, succeeded L. Frank Baum as the steward of the Oz series, contributing twelve books that expanded on Baum's original vision.

This book is highly recommended for readers of all ages who seek to explore the breathtaking realms of imagination. "The Wishing Horse of Oz" not only entertains but also inspires a sense of wonder, making it a treasure for both young readers and adults alike.

    Hickory, Dickory, Dock! 
The mouse ran up the clock. 
The clock struck one, 
The mouse ran down, 
Hickory, Dickory, Dock! 
WITHIN the hollow wall of an old brick mansion, away up near the roof, there lived a family of mice. It was a snug little home, pleasant and quiet, and as dark as any mouse could desire. Mamma Mouse liked it because, as she said, the draught that came through the rafters made it cool in summer, and they were near enough to the chimney to keep warm in winter-time. 
Besides the Mamma Mouse there were three children, named Hickory and Dickory and Dock. There had once been a Papa Mouse as well; but while he was hunting for food one night he saw a nice piece of cheese in a wire box, and attempted to get it. The minute he stuck his head into the box, however, it closed with a snap that nearly cut his head off, and when Mamma Mouse came down to look for him he was quite dead. The story becomes better after this somber opening, trust me. Find out why those mice ran up that clock.

    'Spookily spellbinding - gripped me with an icy finger from the first page' - Catherine Bruton
Don't open the box, warned the old man.
But Charlie can't help himself...
Fourteen-year-old London schoolboy Charlie has been looking forward to playing football with his mates in the Christmas holidays. Instead, he is packed off to the wilds of the East Anglian coast to stay with an uncle he barely knows.
It's going to be a tough week. Uncle Patrick's ramshackle house doesn't have wi-fi, his daughter Ariel seems determined to be vile – and who are the mysterious children laughing after dark in the empty bedroom next to Charlie's?
When Charlie finds an ancient brass box buried on the beach, he unleashes a chilling sequence of events. At least these bring him and his grumpy cousin together, as the pair battle to solve the mystery of the 'box of souls' and re-capture the violent ghostly presence wreaking havoc around the town.
A stirring spine-chiller, Ghost Tide is a spooky, unforgettable tale of restless spirits and youthful heroism.
