Squiggle
by B. B. Wurge"What child hasn't wondered what it would be like to magically transform into a favorite animal? Squiggle, another great read from Wurge, takes us on such an adventure and will encourage children to use their imaginations, while teaching valuable life lessons."--Jo Gilmour, teacher and children's book reviewer, Brooklyn Elementary School, WisconsinPraise for Billy and the Birdfrogs:"Billy survives by the sheer weight of its own insane internal logic. . . . There's definitely an element of Dahl's fondness for weirdness in this pup. . . . For those funny-book junkies out there, Billy fulfills a need. Downright weird, and that's a-okay with me, it's worth a gander."--School Library Journal"Mystery, suspense, and conflict build a plot of nonstop adventure. . . . Superb character development . . . clever illustrations, delightful humor, a marvelous story . . . with an appeal for all ages. Entertaining, downright funny, and highly imaginative. A great read."--Midwest Book ReviewWhen her soul becomes lodged in a stuffed-toy monkey, nine-year-old Lobelia embarks on an outrageous series of New York and Paris adventures, helped by an odd but kindly scientist, before becoming a girl again and being reunited with her family at the top of the Eiffel Tower.B.B. Wurge began writing children's books after leaving his first career as an orangutan in a primate house. He says, "I've been told the world is crazy. That may be true, but children can navigate successfully through our crazy world if they stick to fundamental principles: loyalty to family and friends, compassion, and an open imagination." Wurge lives in an elevator in Manhattan.

St. Patrick's Bed: Shadow Of Ashland, A Witness To Life, And St. Patrick's Bed (The Ashland Trilogy #3)
by Terence M. Green&“A modern ghost story.&” —The Globe and MailThere&’s a line drawn across your life. When you become a parent, you cross the line forever. When Leo Nolan&’s father dies in 1995, his stepson, Adam, now twenty-one, finally asks the question that he has never asked, the question he could never ask. He asks it simply. &“Is my father alive?&”St. Patrick's Bed, the sequel to the highly acclaimed, World Fantasy Award finalists Shadow of Ashland and A Witness to Life, revisits Leo&’s family, eleven years after the momentous visit to Ashland, Kentucky. Thus begins this new odyssey to Dayton, Ohio, to the past, accompanied by family ghosts and the hard truths of the present. Leo&’s quest is both simple and complex: the need in the human heart for redemption, resolution and homecoming. &“If Turgenev hadn&’t already nabbed it, St. Patrick's Bed could have been entitled Fathers and Sons, with Leo Nolan straddling both roles.

St. Patrick's Gargoyle
by Katherine KurtzAs the millennium draws to a close, the gargoyles who guard the ancient buildings of Dublin come together-to face an evil that threatens all they hold dear...
St. Patrick's Gargoyle
by Katherine KurtzA gargoyle guardian and a Knight of Malta unite to seek justice when Dublin's St. Patrick's Cathedral is vandalized in this delightful modern-day fantasy. The gargoyles of Dublin, Ireland, have a sacred duty to perform. Formerly God's avenging angels, for centuries they have been entrusted with guarding the churches and cathedrals of the Irish capital while avoiding all contact with human beings. But once a month these loyal stone sentries must leave their posts to attend a conclave of their kind, and it is during one such absence that a sacrilege occurs. The guardian of St. Patrick's Cathedral, the gargoyle Padraig, called "Paddy," has returned to find violence and vandalism committed at his church and two silver artifacts stolen. Taking to Dublin's night streets in search of a culprit, Paddy inadvertently reveals himself to an aged chauffeur in an ancient Rolls Royce, thereby dooming Francis Templeton to an impending premature death. But the grim reaper will have to wait, because old man Templeton is a member of the Knights of Malta, a secret order of defenders of the faith dating back to the Crusades, and as such is an ideal partner for the onetime angel in his quest for justice and revenge. Their hunt is about to take some sinister turns, however, leading the gargoyle and the knight to Clontarf Castle, where a major demon, an emissary of Satan, is preparing to make his reentrance into the world. An acclaimed and much beloved fantasist best known for her popular Adept and Knights Templar series and her chronicles of the magical Deryni, Katherine Kurtz now displays another side of her extraordinary talent and succeeds magnificently. St. Patrick's Gargoyle is a delightful feast of the imagination, rich in Celtic lore and religious arcana, and brimming with wit and heart, wonder and magic.
