  Crazy in Poughkeepsie

  Daniel Pinkwater

  Mick is a good kid, but maybe he can use just a little guidance. But it's unclear who will be guiding whom, because Mick's brother came home from Tibet with the self-proclaimed Guru Lumpo Smythe-Finkel and his dog Lhasa—and then promptly settled both of them in Mick's bedroom. 
   
   
   
  The thing about this kind of guru is that he doesn't seem to know exactly what he's trying to do. He sure does seem to be hungry, though. 
   
   
   
  So Mick agrees to something like a quest, roaming the suburbs with the oddest group of misfits: Lumpo and Lhasa; graffiti-fanatic Verne; and Verne's unusual friend Molly. Molly is a Dwergish girl—don't worry if you don't know what that is yet—and she seems to be going off the rails a bit. 
   
   
   
  Along the way, the gang will get invited to a rollicking ghost party, consult a very strange little king, and actually discover the truth about Heaven. Or a version of the truth anyway, because in a Daniel Pinkwater tale, the truth is never the slightest bit like what you're expecting.

  It STILL Sucks to Be the Ender Dragon 
  I finally escaped The End and found a semi-peaceful life giving joyrides to baby villagers… until I saw something impossible: another dragon in the Overworld. 
  A red dragon. And he’s not majestic or mysterious. He’s the rudest, grossest, most irritating mob I’ve ever met. He’s also intent on destroying the village and every mob in it. 
  The villagers are panicking. So, I guess it’s up to me to stop him. 
  Being the villain was bad. But being the hero? That still sucks.

  LULU THE LOBSTER - A Cornish...

  In Looe town where waters flow, Where East meets West as tides ebb and go, Lived Captain Jago, brave and true, With children dear, sweet Tegen and Lou. 
  One golden morning, bright and fair, They sailed to check their lobster snare, The Jolly Lobster cut the foam, Far from their Cornish coastal home. 
  The first few pots held usual fare, Brown lobsters caught with skillful care, But when they hauled the seventh pot, Something magical they got. 
  The water glowed with golden light, A wondrous and amazing sight, Inside the pot, beyond compare, A lobster with shell golden-fair. 
  Her eyes were amber, wise and bright, Her claws caught morning's gentle light, And then she spoke in voice so sweet, "I'm Lulu, pleased you all to meet." 
  The children gasped in pure delight, At this most magical sight, A talking lobster, golden-true, Like nothing they had ever knew. 
  "I've watched your family," Lulu said, "Since your great-grandfather's days," she led, "I've kept you safe upon the sea, A guardian spirit, wild and free." 
  Captain Jago faced a choice, Between his heart and practical voice, This golden lobster, rare and fine, Could make his family's fortune shine. 
  But Tegen spoke with gentle grace, "Papa, look at Lulu's face, She's not just treasure to be sold, But friend worth more than gold." 
  Young Lowen added with a grin, "Let kindness and love win, Great-Grandfather would set her free, Back to her home beneath the sea." 
  The children's wisdom touched his heart, And set his conscience apart, Captain Jago made his choice, Love would be his guiding voice. 
  With gentle hands he held her high, Beneath the Cornish morning sky, "Dear Lulu, you must be free, To swim back to your deep blue sea." 
  Lulu promised as she went, Her gratitude would never be spent, She'd guide their nets and keep them blessed, For choosing love above the rest. 
  Into the sparkling blue ocean waves she gracefully slipped away, But her wonderful magic lives on today, In hearts that choose what's good and right.

  A fabled diamond, a 113-year-old artist with a gift for secret codes, a bucket of cold porridge and two Agaton Saxes? Even for the famous sleuth of Byköping, this is proving to be an unusual summer!In a case that will take him from his sleepy hometown to the streets of London, via an unexpectedly upside-down helicopter, Agaton Sax will have his work cut out for him this time. And Aunt Matilda isn’t happy about it at all…The Agaton Sax series of books were first published in Sweden, later being translated into English and printed with illustrations by much-loved artist Quentin Blake (perhaps best known for his work on the books of Roald Dahl). The English translations became immensely popular, achieving the status of the most re-issued mystery & detective series in the history of Nordic children's literature.Now, for the first time, Oak Tree Books is proud to publish the entire Agaton Sax series in audio format, newly translated for the next generation and expertly narrated by Barnaby Eaton-Jones.
