Diving for lost jewelry on the bottom of her sparkling pool leads Anna to a fanciful new world of dancing fish, blue-eyed monkeys, and talking bears. But she soon discovers that all is not well in this magical land. The Great Worm of the North is in trouble, and no one can figure out how to save him from the cheese eagles and blue bears that are threatening him and his people. But Anna is not about to let the Worm perish. Accompanied by a monkey named Poppy and a horse named Anton, she travels north to save him, barely making it past a slippery bananasaurus, a testy cactus, and a bear so dense it can't figure out how to tell a knock knock joke. When she arrives at the Worm's palace, however, his enemies have already materialized and the worms are on the verge of defeat. Can Anna save them, or is it too late? The cover for this book was designed by thirteen-year-old Angelina Reyes.

A reluctant detective, a criminal mastermind, and . . . sugar?
Amanda Lester wouldn't be caught dead going into the family business. Her ancestor, Sherlock Holmes's colleague Inspector G. Lestrade, is a twit. Nevertheless her parents refuse to see his flaws, and she's going to a secret English school for the descendants of famous detectives whether she likes it or not.
When Amanda arrives at the dreaded school, she considers running away--until she and her new friends discover blood and weird pink substances in odd places. At first they're not sure whether these oddities mean anything, but when Amanda's father disappears and the cook is found dead with her head in a bag of sugar, they're certain that crimes are taking place.
Now Amanda must embrace her destiny and uncover the truth. The only snag is that arch-villain Blixus Moriarty, a descendant of Holmes's nemesis Professor James Moriarty, might be involved, and he doesn't like nosy little girls interfering in his business.
