Beasts of Olympus is a series of 144-page illustrated chapter books set in a magical Ancient Greece where strange things still walk the Earth. Beast Keeper tells the story of Pandemonius (a.k.a. "Demon," the half-god son of Pan) who, on his tenth birthday, is called upon to look after all the mythical creatures that belong to the stables of Olympus.

Crona's crimes have become too terrible to ignore, and the troubled youth is added to Shinigami's list.

But the sweep delivers even more than she had bargained for--the location of the Kishin's hideout!

The inspiration for the beloved film Field of Dreams, Shoeless Joe by W. P. Kinsella is the story about the beauty and history of baseball, and the power and endurance of a dream.

"A moonlit novel about baseball, dreams, family, the land, and literature."--Sports Illustrated

"If you build it, he will come." These mysterious words, spoken by an Iowa baseball announcer, inspire Ray Kinsella to carve a baseball diamond in his cornfield in honor of his hero, the baseball legend Shoeless Joe Jackson. What follows is both a rich, nostalgic look at one of our most cherished national pastimes and a remarkable story about fathers and sons, love and family, and the inimitable joy of finding your way home.

Is the Voice Lisa's Protector or a Predator?

When her father Alexander is murdered, Lisa's safe, carefree world unravels. At 16, her only escape is to flee from the mayhem and chaos that promises to come crashing down on her very being. From her wicked mother. From her drunken stepbrother. And from the greedy church. The year was 1,000 AD.

Bright and clever, she becomes the eyes and ears of her papa's many enterprises. Lisa is his confidant and the son he desires as an heir. Afraid for his own daughter's future, Alexander shares a plan for her to follow upon his death.

Within days of Alexander's murder, the plan is put into motion. The map created for her has instructions and a special key. It will guide Lisa hundreds of miles from her papa's villa in Marseilles to Paris, where his business partner Ezra lived.

Her possessions were the tunic on her back, a cloak, Papa's jeweled dagger, and the coin that he asked her to hide away. And a mysterious voice that forewarns and guides her.

Lisa's travel mode was her feet.

Her stepbrother follows her in hot pursuit, filled with anger, hate, and revenge. Fredric's desire is to rightfully assume his inherited status as heir-a status that requires items whose whereabouts only Lisa knows.

Will Lisa get to Paris? Will Ezra welcome and help her? Will she discover who killed Papa? Will the Voice that invades her sleep continue to guide her? Will she ever feel safe and loved again?

Holly, a grey squirrel, and her animal friends have accepted that they will never be wizards' familiars.

So instead of going on adventures, they languish at the Shelter for Rejected Familiars, where they are known as "shelterlings."

When an old friend appears with a plan for curing the shelterlings' defective magic, everyone is on board to help him locate and retrieve the ingredients for a powerful spell. But when they learn that his offer is not what it seems, Holly and the shelterlings must fight to defend their magic, discovering in the process that their unorthodox skills may just be what is needed to save the day.
