Cave of Discovery

Cave of Discovery by Steven & Margaret Larson
Published: 2009
Author: Steven & Margaret Larson
Pages: 59
Overview: 

Jason squeezed the old silver coin in his hand and wondered if there really could be a hidden treasure. After all, this was Treasure Town. If only he could find enough money so his family wouldn’t have to move. Time was running out. His parents were already trying out new jobs in a new city, while he was spending the summer with his cousin Daniel. 

Then they found an old treasure map and a riddle that pointed to Haunted Cave. But there was more in the cave than just bats. Strange visitors from the past (one who was dangerous!) roamed the dark passageways.

The World Beyond the Door

The World Beyond the Door
Published: 2009

Pages: 58
Overview: 

Telah should have outgrown the stories her grandfather made up about his travels to another world. After all, she had just turned twelve and was old enough to know better. Her own world is filled with pixie parties in her garden, garments woven out of light, and attending her first Harvest Gala. But Telah is fascinated by the possibility of finding a secret door. 

Suspecting that her older sister and their neighbor Morley know where the door is located, she convinces her friend Travis to help her look for it. They are followed through the door by pixies in search of their own fun. Danger, chaos, and adventure follow as Telah, the pixies, and Morley all try to find their way back home – only to discover that the door has been shut! 

An old-fashioned “fairy tale” with a contemporary tone. For children of all ages.

Things don’t go well for Toby after he moves in with his grandmother and starts school in a new town. After an encounter in the school cafeteria, he finds himself waiting in the Principal’s office.
