Book excerpt: This is a beautiful new illustrated edition of James Otis's classic take of a boy who runs away to join the circus.This book is a classic among American boys and girls who dreamed of running away to join the circus and remained popular for generations. Disney honored it with a film version, Toby Tyler, starring Kevin Corcoran in 1960. It was James Otis Kaler's first book and also his best known and most successful.Toby Tyler tells the story of a ten year-old orphan who runs away from a foster home to join the traveling circus only to discover his new employer is a cruel taskmaster. The difference between the romance of the circus from the outside and the reality as seen from the inside is graphically depicted. Toby's friend, Mr. Stubbs the chimpanzee, reinforces the consequences of what happens when one follows one's natural instincts rather than one's intellect and conscience, a central theme of the novel.Toby Tyler is a "bad boy" novel, meant to teach a lesson what happens to boys who do bad things; other examples include George W. Peck's Peck's Bad Boy (1883), Thomas Bailey Aldrich's The Story of a Bad Boy (1870), and Mark Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). As with Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), also about a conscience-stricken escaped and wandering orphan boy (written following the success of Toby Tyler), most readers don't remember Toby Tyler for its wholesome message, but as a romantic story of running away to the circus and adventures on the road.The book was influential with some famous "bad boys". A young Carl Sandburg thought Toby Tyler one of his favorite books (even better than Adventures of Huckleberry Finn). Harlan Ellison credits it as influencing his decision to run off with the circus. William S. Burroughs wrote of it in his journals.The original book contains 30 pen and ink drawings by W. A. Rogers (1854-1931). A sequel, Mr. Stubb's Brother, was published in 1883.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling series continues with a haunted house whodunit that will take all of the Questioneers’ sleuthing skills to solve. Iggy Peck is an architect at his very core: When he’s not making houses out of food, his head is up in the clouds, dreaming of design. So he’s totally blown away when Ada Twist’s Aunt Bernice inherits an old house from ice-cream mogul Herbert Sherbert that is filled with countless rooms from all his favorite architectural periods. But something’s not quite right . . . Everyone says the house is haunted, and it seems that a number of priceless antiques—which were supposed to help Aunt Bernice pay for the house’s upkeep—have gone missing. If they can’t find those antiques, Aunt Bernice might lose the house forever. It will take all of Iggy’s knowledge of architecture and the help of the other Questioneers—Rosie Revere, Ada Twist, and Sofia Valdez—to solve the mystery and find the treasure!
