Wicked wolves and a grim governess threaten Bonnie and her cousin Sylvia when Bonnie's parents leave Willoughby Chase for a sea voyage. Left in the care of the cruel Miss Slighcarp, the girls can hardly believe what is happening to their once happy home. The servants are dismissed, the furniture is sold, and Bonnie and Sylvia are sent to a prison-like orphan school. It seems as if the endless hours of drudgery will never cease.With the help of Simon the gooseboy and his flock, they escape. But how will they ever get Willoughby Chase free from the clutches of the evil Miss Slighcarp?This new edition features an introduction by Aiken's daughter, Lizza, providing insight into the struggles Aiken--much like her heroines--had to endure before finally finishing this classic story a decade after she started writing it.

A touch of computer keys, a blast of heat, and suddenly the Murry twins, Sandy and Dennys, are gasping in a shimmering desert land. If only the brothers had normal parents, not a scientist mother and a father who experiments with space and time travel. If only the Murry twins had noticed the note on the door of their mother's lab: Experiment In Progress. Please Keep Out But it's too late for regrets. There's a strange-and very small-person approaching, with a miniature mammoth in tow. . . . At last it's Sandy and Dennys's turn for an adventure-an adventure that turns serious when they discover that "many waters" are coming to flood the desert. The twins must find a way back home soon, or they will drown. But how will they get back to their own time? Can they?

Growing Up & Facts of Life

Ten-year-old Christina Rose is convinced she has "Ghost Radar," meaning she can sense when ghosts are nearby. Not fake, creepy movie ghosts, but REAL ghosts. Like the ghost of her mother, who died in a plane crash when Christina was only 3. Christina knows her mother's spirit came to visit her the night of the accident, but nobody believes her. Now Christina and her family have moved from New York to North Klondike, California, and more strange things are happening. Christina's next-door neighbor and new best friend Roberto Wing is convinced the Roses' house is haunted by not one but two very scary ghosts. So Christina, her twin brother Danny, and Roberto form a ghost-hunters' club, determined to uncover the truth behind the bizarre happenings. As they investigate, they realize that everyone has a real ghost story to share--some funny, some foolish, and some quite frightening.
