A man named Gangus greets Jack as he goes through a portal and enters into a strange land. Jack might have been a simple country boy from North Dakota, but when Gangus tells him where he was and the reason he was there, it seemed impossible to believe. Every explanation only created more questions for Jack. Yes, he was a simple country boy, but he knew there was something very odd going on. Why was he selected to come to this new place? Who was this figure that Gangus referred to as the Overseer? Jack’s head filled with endless questions. Then he was informed of the purpose of all the people who had arrived on this planet. He and the other’s had been selected to recapture and take control of Earth! For a moment, Jack wondered if he was having a nightmare, but the more facts that Gangus shared with him, the more he realized it was real. The details were too specific for this to be a dream. His biggest question was, Why had he been chosen to play a role in this mission? What was his purpose here? There was something very troubling about the entire arrangement, but he would never guess how twisted this new world was.

His father wants him to carry on the family tradition and apprentice as a tailor.When Lars is sent by ship to Stockholm from his small hometown in Sweden to begin his apprenticeship, instead of checking in as a passenger, he signs on as a cabin boy. The ship's master befriends Lars and helps him escape the wrath of his father by arranging a berth on another ship that takes him to England and a life at sea.In his adventures as a sailor, which begin in 1877, Lars finds friendship as he journeys around the world. Fighting off storms and pirates, the sailors commiserate on lost loves and lost opportunities. Larsson's Legend is the stunning portrayal of a man in conflict. How can Lars hate his own father? "Why did his heart feel as though it was bleeding; as though it was filled with broken glass?" "The author is an artist with paint and brush, and it seems that her God-given talents apply also to words that paint pictures with such skill and clarity that I was totally absorbed in the story. What an adventure! Everyone has heard the clich comments: Amazing book! Begs to be read! Couldn't put it down! Well, this book certainly deserves such descriptions.

Thirteen years earlier, he went missing along with his younger sister. They were long thought to have been victims of Sweden's most notorious serial killer, Jurek Walter, now serving a life sentence in a maximum security psychiatric hospital. Now Mikael tells the police that his sister is still alive and being held by someone he knows only as the Sandman. Years ago, Detective Inspector Joona Linna made an excruciating personal sacrifice to ensure Jurek's capture. He is keenly aware of what this killer is capable of, and now he is certain that Jurek has an accomplice. He knows that any chance of rescuing Mikael's sister depends on getting Jurek to talk, and that the only agent capable of this is Inspector Saga Bauer, a twenty-seven-year-old prodigy. She will have to go under deep cover in the psychiatric ward where Jurek is imprisoned, and she will have to find a way to get to the psychopath before it's too late—and before he gets inside her head.

The Green Bear has a twin sister in the night sky, called Big Bear. One sister looks after planet Earth and the other sister looks after our solar system! The Big Green Bear takes Lars and Linnea on a nocturnal adventure, where they meet the two bears and some other animals in our night sky. However, they need to get home safely before the sun rises and their parents wake up. The Green Bear returns to the Forest and turns back into a big rock, covered in moss and lichen. However, on the next 'Green Day' she will awaken and take the children on another adventure! The author has made all illustrations herself. Vibrant and magical, they invite children to visit enchanting parallel worlds. She hopes that this will help them keep the magic alive, and the doorway to other worlds ajar, as they grow older.
