How I Became a Writer and Oggie Learned to Drive
Anyone anywhere near Garden Street knows enough to stay away from the Night Riders. They’re trouble, they’re up to no good, they’re just downright dangerous. But when they steal Archie’s brother Oggie’s prized possession, Archie has to get it back. After all, Archie is the man of the house since his parents separated.
Luckily, Archie is a writer. Not only can he go after Oggie’s favorite red wallet, but he can distract Oggie with his Mole People stories while he’s doing it. Even so, it will still take all of Archie’s determination and courage-and unquestionably, his writer’s wisdom-to come out on top.
Janet Taylor Lisle once again creates a world for young readers that is right on the mark. How I Became a Writer and Oggie Learned to Drive is fast-paced, fun, adventure-filled-and gives witty insight into the process of writing.
Sirens and Spies
In The Dancing Cats of Applesap, everyone in the sleepy little town of Applesap has deserted Jiggs’ Drugstore for the new Super Queen — everyone except shy Melba Morris, who likes crotchety Miss Toomie’s hot fudge sundaes and doesn’t mind the hundred rescued cats who live at Jiggs’. But now Jiggs’ is going out of business — unless Melba, and the cats, can come up with a plan to save the day.In Sirens and Spies, fifteen-year-old Mary Potter can’t understand why her younger sister, Elsie, refuses to visit their beloved violin teacher in the hospital, where she’s recovering from an attack in her home. It turns out Elsie may have stumbled upon a dark secret from Miss Fitch’s past — could the eccentric teacher have been a Nazi collaborator during World War II?
Forest
War is coming, and it will take two very unusual friends to avert a showdown in the town of Forest
Upper Forest is the kingdom of an ancient clan of squirrels. For years they have lived and died in the trees, building an elaborate civilization high above the earth. Since man came to Forest, the trees have been thinned, but there are still enough thick groves where the squirrels can run from branch to branch, going days without touching the ground. To avoid people, their natural enemies, the squirrels make their homes higher than any human can climb—or so they think. But they haven’t met Amber Padgett.
Swift, bright, and fearless, Amber has never fit in among humans. When she pokes her head into Upper Forest, she begins an unlikely friendship with a squirrel named Woodbine. As this mismatched pair grows close, the worlds of Upper and Lower Forest collide. But Amber’s father, and other people in town, think the squirrels are pests and try to get rid of them. Which will triumph: friendship or war?
The Great Dimpole Oak
An ancient oak tree has seen glory and tragedy—but nothing quite as spectacular as the showdown that’s brewing
For nearly a thousand years, the Dimpole Oak has towered over this small East Coast town, witnessing the passage of history: duels and revolution, lovers’ trysts and traitors’ hangings, victory parades and midnight conspiracies. The farmer who owns the land beneath the tree likes to tell stories of the murders and witch trials that took place in its shade. Local children play on the oak’s great roots and dig for buried treasure. The townsfolk plan a Dimpole Oak Day to celebrate their landmark.
Meanwhile, far away in India, a swami has a holy vision of the oak, and begins a journey to find it. Back in Dimpole, two boys take inspiration from the blackguards and pirates of the old farmer’s tales, and challenge a local bully to a confrontation under the oak. As all these plots and plans converge, the mighty oak stands ready to witness another grand event.
