AuthorMarian Cockrell

One day, a girl named Lucy follows a little dog through a tunnel into the valley and meets the mysterious red-haired...
The Monster Garden

AuthorAlexandra Elizabeth Sheedy
ISBN0070565155
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.

ISBN0374417083
There are more ways than one to view the Devil and his works.

Nothing...

What Do You Do, Dear?
AuthorSesyle Joslin
ISBN0064431134
This is an old favorite. It was on the bookshelf as a boy. Yesterday my mother gave this book to my daughter for Christmas. Beetle doesn't quite get all the subtlety, but it was nice to read with her all the same.

This book was written in 1961. Much like Fred Gwynne's books, it is quite interesting...

.hack // AI Buster
AuthorTatsuya Hamazaki
ISBN1595328696
The .hack series really caught my attention as I was growing up. Over time, I lost interest the more I understood the likely motivations for yet another series, book, game, promotional website, anything .hack related on a quantity scale. The series offers scant breadcrumbs over the same well tread...
