An affectionate storybook tribute to that truly wonderful place: the library.


Miss Merriweather, the head librarian, is very particular about rules in the library. No running allowed. And you must be quiet. But when a lion comes to the library one day, no one is sure what to do. There aren't any rules about lions in the library. And, as it turns out, this lion seems very well suited to library visiting. His big feet are quiet on the library floor. He makes a comfy backrest for the children at story hour. And he never roars in the library, at least not anymore. But when something terrible happens, the lion quickly comes to the rescue in the only way he knows how. Michelle Knudsen's disarming story, illustrated by the matchless Kevin Hawkes in an expressive timeless style, will win over even the most ardent of rule keepers.


From the Hardcover edition.

Calen, a lonely young mage-to-be, never dreamed that Princess Meglynne would become his friend. And impulsive Meg never imagined that secretly tending a baby dragon would cause her to be 'linked' to the winged beast — for life. Being attuned to a dragon's thoughts and feelings is exciting but scary, especially when their destinies are tied (for better or worse). And now Meg's sister is about to marry a prince to end a war between kingdoms, a celebration that only Meg and Calen know is endangered by a murderous plot. How can a girl, a boy, and a dragon merge their magic and strength to bring down a powerful traitor before it's too late? From the author of Library Lion comes a classic middle-grade fantasy soaring with sorcery and suspense, spunk and adventure, friendship and first romance, and a cast of truly enchanting characters.

Tired of being covered in itchy mosquito bites, Riley uses science to investigate why mosquitoes are more attracted to him than to his friends.

A lion starts visiting the local library but runs into trouble as he tries to both obey the rules and help his librarian friend.

La signora Brontolini, capo-bibliotecaria, è molto severa sulla questione delle regole. In biblioteca non è permesso correre e non si può alzare la voce. Ma quando un giorno compare un leone, nessuno è più sicuro di quel che si deve fare, perché... nessuna regola parla di leoni! Con il passare del tempo, comunque, ogni cosa si aggiusta e il leone diventa un assistente bibliotecario perfetto: fa da divano per i bambini durante l'ora di lettura e si rende utile in mille altri modi. Almeno fino al giorno in cui succede un imprevisto e, infrangendo le regole, il leone ruggisce a più non posso... Età di lettura: da 5 anni.
