    The Uncomfortable Glass Slippers sees a reluctant Sabrina Summers and her friends returning to the strange land of Dralfynia after Witchy Wu follows them to their high school.  In the sequel to The Uncooperative Flying Carpet, The Uncomfortable Glass Slippers shows Sabrina Summers as Prince Charming, her brother, Rory, is Baby Bear, and her friends, Persis and Olive, are Sleeping Beauty and Goldilocks. They learn that they need to find the magic glass slippers and take them and Ruggy, the uncooperative flying carpet, to the Island of Merthyr. Before that can happen, the friends encounter more goblins, a very smelly shoe museum, a terrifying were-dragon, and make unlikely friends with a pair of sisters desperate to marry any prince.  Once again, they use the skills that are unique to their fairytale characters and Sabrina’s courage and resourcefulness are pushed to the limit. To add to the drama, they discover that the real Cinderella has been imprisoned by the Beast with Eight Fingers in a case of seriously-mistaken identity, so they need to rescue her as well – all within three short days. By the end of The Uncomfortable Glass Slippers, Sabrina knows who she can trust, who has betrayed her, and what she needs to do next.

    Four young siblings embark on a fantastical adventure in this classic children’s story by the Carnegie Medal-winning author of The Little White Horse. 
     
    When their father goes off traveling, Nan, Robert, Timothy, and Betsy Linnet are sent to stay with their grandmother. Unfortunately, their new caretaker doesn’t care much for children—let alone their dog. So they run away to stay with their Uncle Ambrose. 
     
    A retired schoolteacher, Ambrose is determined to give the Linnet children an education. But in addition to Greek, Latin, and Literature, they learn about nature and magic, the power of the past, and, of course, the importance of the bees. Armed with their new knowledge, they set off on a fantastical adventure to find the lost Valerians, undo some wicked spells, and reunite a divided family. 
     
    Linnets and Valerians is filled with Elizabeth Goudge’s trademark mixture of realism and magic. Much like The Little White Horse, it is set in Devon and inspired by local folklore and legends.
