AuthorNoel Langley
This beloved classic is a funny, clever, and original novel that opens with Aladdin, now Emperor of China, trying to decide what to name his new son, a child who won't stop talking and is already far too articulate for his own good. The Genie of the Lamp announces that Abu Ali should be the child's name and...

Just when the children thought the magic in the old well was all played out (that is, if it was magic!) and had sworn an oath in blood not to make any more wishes until the well gave them a sign, Gordy—in a reckless moment—told it to get going with its magic, or else! Something certainly did begin to happen...

Written by the actress Ally Sheedy (well, Alexandra Elizabeth Sheedy) when she only twelve years old. It's been on my shelf for a zillion years, and I finally cracked it open.

It tells the story of a mouse who resides in the court of Elizabeth I and keeps a diary of her observations. There is a framing...

Basic plot: Mallory frees a wizard from being trapped in a tree, antics ensue.

I like this book more for a funny thing that happened to me than for the content. The book was good- a cute, little fantasy story- but nothing that'll really be remembered over time the way The Chronicles of Narnia or...

ISBN0152055665
A beautifully realized finish to a great series. I don't do many "series," but Boston's writing is so evocative of a time and place, the feelings of comfort and serenity she conjures become addictive. The characters are indelibly etched in my mind - Grandmother Oldknowe, Tolly, Ping, Linnet, Toby and...

I found this book to be tremendously clever when I read it as a child. I particularly liked the parallels between the life-stories of itinerant hat-maker/actor/tutor Hercules Feltwright, and his mythological namesake. For this reason, I chose to read it aloud to my son immediately after finishing...

I think this is a fun trilogy – Hugo Pepper is book 3. It's amazing how different each of these Far Flung Adventures are written, yet they remain interconnected. I think Hugo Pepper is my favorite of the series - it was very interesting and like the other two, extremely high quality in both story an illustrations.

So many people really like this book and perhaps it didn't help my copy being in black and white ( many reviews mention a change of colour as the story progresses which sounds like a nice idea ) but I found this story confusing.

Soonchild is an unborn child who is due to be born but is suspected to be...
