Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From award-winning author Ellen Potter comes a charming new chapter book series where kids, lobster boats, and a hint of magic are part of everyday life. There are three things you should know about Piper Green: 1. She always says what’s on her mind (even when she probably shouldn’t). 2. She rides a lobster boat to school. 3. There is a Fairy Tree in her front yard. Life on an island in Maine is always interesting. But when a new teacher starts at Piper’s school—and doesn’t appreciate the special, um, accessory that Piper has decided to wear—there may be trouble on the horizon. Then Piper discovers the Fairy Tree in her front yard. Is the Fairy Tree really magic? And can it fix Piper’s problems? ★“Skillfully blending humor, pathos, and warmth with an atmospheric setting, Potter has created an honest, empathic slice-of-life story, laced with a touch of magic. Piper has a winning combination of stubbornness, loyalty, and independence, which Leng ably portrays in her loosely inked, gently humorous artwork.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “With its intriguing setting, sympathetic characters, and hint of magic, this new chapter-book series should charm fledgling readers.” —Kirkus Reviews “Piper is brave and tough on the surface, and her sense of loss lies at the heart of the conflict. Written with humor as well as pathos, the first-person text shows her confused emotions and her resiliency as well. An appealing debut for the series.” —Booklist “Potter puts her own stamp on the spunky-quirky-stubborn girl story. . . . A satisfying, accessible, funny early chapter book.” —The Horn Book

Book excerpt: On the side of a hill in Ireland, not far from a small, run-down cottage, was a fairy tree. The fairy tree was full of fairies. Elisa Reidy, who lived in the cottage with her family, loved the fairies, especially Sunshine, and Sunshine especially loved Elisa. The two played together every day and were very happy. One day, Elisa did not appear at the fairy tree. Her family had left for Canada because of the famine in Ireland. Sunshine was heartbroken. How could she go on without her beloved Elisa? Dewdrop, the oldest fairy in the fairy tree, knew Sunshine needed help that only Queen Muirne, the queen of the fairies, could give. With the help of Robin Redbreast, Dewdrop embarked on a journey across Ireland to meet with the queen and save Sunshine. Early on in their travels, Dewdrop and Robin Redbreast meet two unlikely characters—a rat and a buzzard—who also need the help of the fairy queen, and they decide to travel together. The little group encounters danger and setbacks on their journey. A storm and an attack by the evil Unseelie fairies threaten to keep the travellers from reaching the fairy queen. Will they get there in time to save Sunshine? Will Rodan the rat and Byron the buzzard get the help they need? Will Sunshine and Elisa ever see each other again?

Download or read book The Juniper Tree written by Barbara Comyns and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A feminist reimagining of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale about a single mother and an enchanted friendship—from one of most bewitching British writers of the 20th century. “Comyns’s world is weird and wonderful . . . Tragic , comic and completely bonkers all in one, I’d go as far as to call her something of a neglected genius.” —The Observer Bella Winter has hit a low. Homeless and jobless, she is the mother of a toddler by a man whose name she didn’t quite catch, and her once pretty face is disfigured by the scar she acquired in a car accident. Friendless and without family, she’s recently disentangled herself from a selfish and indifferent boyfriend and a cruel and indifferent mother. But she shares a quality common to Barbara Comyns’s other heroines: a bracingly unsentimental ability to carry on. Before too long, Bella has found not only a job but a vocation; not only a place to live but a home and a makeshift family. As Comyns’s novel progresses, the story echoes and inverts the Brothers Grimm’s macabre tale The Juniper Tree. Will Bella’s hard-won restoration to life and love come at the cost of the happiness of others?
