Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In Heir Apparent there are as many ways to win as there are to get killed. "A stylish tale [that] addresses both fantasy gaming and censorship." (New York Times Book Review) From Edgar Award-winning author Vivian Vande Velde comes a rollicking story that puts a high-tech twist on the classic medieval fantasy-adventure. In the virtual reality game Heir Apparent, there are way too many ways to get killed--and Giannine seems to be finding them all. Which is a shame, because unless she can get the magic ring, locate the stolen treasure, answer the dwarf's dumb riddles, impress the head-chopping statue, charm the army of ghosts, fend off the barbarians, and defeat the man-eating dragon, she'll never win. And she has to, because losing means she'll die--for real this time. Junior Library Guild Selection * New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Have you ever wondered just what was going on when that odd little man with the long name stepped up and volunteered to spin straw into gold for the miller's daughter? If you stop and think about it, there are some very peculiar components to the story. Vivian Vande Velde has wondered too, and she's come up with these six alternative versions of the old legend. A bevy of miller's daughters confront their perilous situation in very different ways--sometimes comic, sometimes scary, always unexpected. This collection of witty and twisted fairy tales includes: Fractured Fairy Tales: Six brilliant new takes on the classic legend where the heroes might be villains, the miller's daughter might be the one with a plan, and Rumpelstiltskin might not be who you think. Witty Humor: Hilarious, scary, and romantic stories that finally answer all the logical questions the original tale ignores, like 'If she can spin straw into gold, why is her father still a poor miller?' Clever Heroines: Meet a variety of miller's daughters--from a quick-thinking girl who teams up with an elf, to a conniving social climber a young king must outsmart. Unexpected Twists: Discover what happens when Rumpelstiltskin is a troll with a taste for babies, a lonely witch who just wants a child to love, or even the miller himself.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. If Howard had known the old hag was a witch, he never would have taunted her. But he did, and she did what witches do--cursed him--and now he's a goose, which to tell you the truth, is not as serene and peaceful as it might look from the shore. People try to kill geese, for crying out loud, and the other geese are none too nice to newcomers. Howard is desperate to become a human again so he can show that old witch a thing or two. But the only way to break the curse is to do three good deeds--and how can you help others when you've got webbed feet, wings for hands, and can't say anything but "Honk".…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Squirrel hates to miss a party--whether or not he's been invited.   So one cold day he decides to visit Cuddles the dog inside his house. He slides down the special squirrel entrance into a pile of cut-up tree branches (how thoughtful the humans are!), takes some of the food they've clearly made for him, and buries it in the pots of dirt they've left out. What a warm welcome!   But when Cuddles catches sight of him and mayhem erupts, the smallest of the humans takes the blame for causing trouble. No one but Twitch the squirrel notices when the boy runs out into the snow. . . Or when he trips and hurts his ankle.    Can the dog and squirrel put aside their differences, and figure out how to let the humans know their littlest one needs help? And is there more of that party food to celebrate with after?   With short, funny chapters and lively pen-and-ink illustrations, the Twitch the Squirrel books are perfect to share and read aloud, or for young readers beginning to seek out longer books on their own. Told from the animals' point of view, they make a great introduction to narrative perspective--and most importantly, they're always hilarious.   For more of Twitch's adventures, check out 8 Class Pets + 1 Squirrel ÷ 1 Dog = Chaos and Squirrel in the Museum.
