Steps into Poetry: Nonsense and Other Verse for Children


Geoffrey Hoffman

http://www.publishedauthors.net/geoffbarcarolle/index.html

The verse in this book is designed to catch the minds of children and spark interest in rhythm and language. They have always preferred rhythm both in words and music to a bald story. Very small children also like nonsense being read to them by an adult; and older children may feel a sense of achievement as they grow to understand and appreciate poems that do not treat them as idiots but come more and more to appeal to their developing minds. In addition, teachers should appreciate a book that encourages children to read poetry, particularly if, like the verse in this book, it starts in simple terms and goes on to become deeper in words and ideas.

Ashley Enright Investigations


Lauren E. Smith

http://www.publishedauthors.net/lesmith

Twelve-year-old Ashley Enright lives in a small town on the coast of Maine with her parents and younger sister. In the summer, she loves to wear her New York Mets baseball cap, ride her bicycle, and write stories. She enjoys living at the end of Foggy Bottom Road, because her house overlooks a crescent beach and it is very quiet—not that things were ever very noisy in her sleepy town of Donnybrook.

Ashley isn’t nosey, just curious and intelligent. When she looks out her bedroom window one night, she notices a light flickering in the window of an abandoned lighthouse. She knows that something is not right, but doesn’t want to call the police just yet. Ashley investigates the mystery with her best friend, Josh Stewart, who draws comic books featuring superheroes.

What the two friends discover at the lighthouse in Donnybrook will change someone’s life forever.

The Glowing Stone

 


Edward L.J. Hall

http://www.publishedauthors.net/edward_l_j_hall/

This story is told by an old man remembering the days of youth, and how one night he and a glowing blue stone came together, and his life was changed forever. He also tells us of how he meets Gwen, who would one day become his wife.

This book is a combination of the real world, where children are limited, and a dream world, where they are unleashed to live any adventure they want by simply reading or looking at a book. The time setting for this book is somewhere during the Depression era.

The story’s main action occurs in a make-believe Camelot with knights, damsels, and dragons. Gwen, Edward, and two of their friends become a team and face whatever comes their way. But with good dreams also come nightmares, via the dark stones. (Though in the telling, the violence is kept to a minimum and no dragon is actually harmed.)

Coco Twain Tells the Truth

Judith Porter

http://www.jaykay100.com

My name was Coco Twain and I was never happy about it. My mother borrowed my first name from Coco Chanel because she thought it was so clever, so French. Little did she know that the fashion designer’s name was actually Gabrielle and ‘Coco’ was nothing more than a ridiculous nickname. I’ve had to endure countless jokes about being a “hot drink” and quips about marshmallows. Had I been named Gabrielle, I could have been exotic or at least interesting. But that was neither here nor there. Having a last name of Twain was an even bigger burden. Mom actually believed she married into a family related to Mark Twain. When I learned enough to know that Twain’s real name was Samuel Clemens, I tried to tell her, but she wouldn’t listen. She liked to brag about our ancestry “all the way back to Mark Twain.” “So here I was, Coco Twain growing up feeling totally fictitious.” Coco Twain may be fictitious, but she’s fun to read. Life in her isolated small town becomes more interesting and dangerous when two escaped convicts take over her best friend Sonja’s house. Coco finds herself hiding the truth and learning a good deal about friendship and loyalty. Set in rural Oklahoma in 1958, this coming of-age-story is a poignant testament to a teenager’s quest to fit in somewhere.

By Golly, Molly, You're Right


Bobby Hawley

http://www.freewebs.com/frgadupont

Were you ever bullied as an adult? A child? Maybe you or your child is being bullied right now. I think we have all had some experiences with this issue. Remember the hurt, the pain, the embarrassment, or the humiliation that was suffered? If you recall this, then By Golly, Molly, You’re Right is a must for you or your child to read.

When Molly entered daycare she was a happy, outgoing little girl. Her experiences here turned her into a withdrawn, fearful little girl who became a target for bullies. As the years passed Molly’s shyness and fears attracted taunting, teasing and, on occasion, even physical attacks by other children.

Molly moved to a new town and a new school when she was in grade five. Molly thought this might give her a fresh start but the first morning in the playground her worst fears were realized when she came face to face with Jessica. Jessica took very little time to zero in on Molly’s vulnerabilities and encourage others to reject her before they got to know the real Molly. Molly’s self-esteem was being crushed.

Molly knew that this time she had to find a solution to her dilemma if she were to ever bring back the Molly who was left behind in daycare. You will be amazed at Molly’s solution when you read this story.

Danger Cave

I am Cecil B. Benjammy. This is my story. First, I need to warn you: never enter a cave alone, or without the proper equipment. I should never have gone into the cave without telling someone where I was. I went in without any equipment, or protective clothing, or boots. I went into Lost Cave without anyone’s permission.

I’ve always been afraid of the dark, and the dangerous cave experience became my worst nightmare. My brother, Jamie, had found and named the cave Lost Cave. After being stuck in a dark tunnel inside the cave, I was attacked and injured by something wild and dangerous. I renamed Lost Cave, “Danger Cave”…

Daydreams, Moonbeams and Wings Over The Common (From the Tail of a Magpie)


Louisa Middleton-Blake 

 http://freewebs.com/daydreamsmoonbeams

They say that there are always two sides to every story; this one is no exception. The events you are about to read are based on a true story relating to one particular magpie who almost turned into a couple of crows’ takeaway meal. His luck changed when Louisa arrived on the scene in the nick of time and rescued him from the vicious beaks of the crows. She took him home, not expecting him to live, and nursed him back to health. Having survived his ordeal, the magpie was given the name of Maggie. Whilst Louisa basks in flashbacks of childhood memories during the 1950s and ’60s, her co-author cavorts in and out of fantasies, fairy stories and legends like there’s no tomorrow. After moving from the South of England to West Wales, the magpie’s tale was hatched, and by mutual agreement between Louisa and Maggie, the two versions were written.
