Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fairy tales and legends of olden China have in common with the "Thousand and One Nights" an oriental glow and glitter of precious stones and gold and multicolored silks, an oriental wealth of fantastic and supernatural action. And yet they strike an exotic note distinct in itself. The seventy-three stories here presented after original sources, embracing "Nursery Fairy Tales," "Legends of the Gods," "Tales of Saints and Magicians," "Nature and Animal Tales," "Ghost Stories," "Historic Fairy Tales," and "Literary Fairy Tales," probably represent the most comprehensive and varied collection of oriental fairy tales ever made available for American readers. There is no child who will not enjoy their novel color, their fantastic beauty, their infinite variety of subject. Yet, like the "Arabian Nights," they will amply repay the attention of the older reader as well. Some are exquisitely poetic, such as "The Flower-Elves," "The Lady of the Moon" or "The Herd Boy and the Weaving Maiden"; others like "How Three Heroes Came By Their Deaths Because Of Two Peaches," carry us back dramatically and powerfully to the Chinese age of Chivalry. The summits of fantasy are scaled in the quasi-religious dramas of "The Ape Sun Wu Kung" and "Notscha," or the weird sorceries unfolded in "The Kindly Magician." Delightful ghost stories, with happy endings, such as "A Night on the Battlefield" and "The Ghost Who Was Foiled," are paralleled with such idyllic love-tales as that of "Rose of Evening," or such Lilliputian fancies as "The King of the Ants" and "The Little Hunting Dog." It is quite safe to say that these Chinese fairy tales will give equal pleasure to the old as well as the young. They have been retold simply, with no changes in style or expression beyond such details of presentation which differences between oriental and occidental viewpoints at times compel. It is the writer's hope that others may take as much pleasure in reading them as he did in their translation.

Book excerpt: A National Book Award finalist by Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo. Walking through the misty Florida woods one morning, twelve-year-old Rob Horton is stunned to encounter a tiger—a real-life, very large tiger—pacing back and forth in a cage. What’s more, on the same extraordinary day, he meets Sistine Bailey, a girl who shows her feelings as readily as Rob hides his. As they learn to trust each other, and ultimately, to be friends, Rob and Sistine prove that some things—like memories, and heartache, and tigers—can’t be locked up forever. Featuring a new cover illustration by Stephen Walton.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What we shall eat to-morrow, I haven't the slightest idea!" said Widow Wang to her eldest son, as he started out one morning in search of work. "Oh, the gods will provide. I'll find a few coppers somewhere," replied the boy, trying to speak cheerfully, although in his heart he also had not the slightest idea in which direction to turn. The winter had been a hard one: extreme cold, deep snow, and violent winds. The Wang house had suffered greatly. The roof had fallen in, weighed down by heavy snow. Then a hurricane had blown a wall over, and Ming-li, the son, up all night and exposed to a bitter cold wind, had caught pneumonia. Long days of illness followed, with the spending of extra money for medicine. All their scant savings had soon melted away, and at the shop where Ming-li had been employed his place was filled by another. When at last he arose from his sick-bed he was too weak for hard labour and there seemed to be no work in the neighbouring villages for him to do. Night after night he came home, trying not to be discouraged, but in his heart feeling the deep pangs of sorrow that come to the good son who sees his mother suffering for want of food and clothing. "Bless his good heart!" said the poor widow after he had gone. "No mother ever had a better boy. I hope he is right in saying the gods will provide. It has been getting so much worse these past few weeks that it seems now as if my stomach were as empty as a rich man's brain. Why, even the rats have deserted our cottage, and there's nothing left for poor Tabby, while old Blackfoot is nearly dead from starvation."

Book excerpt: Mission Joy is high octane middle-grade adventure full of comedy and heart. Perfect for readers aged 8+ and fans of David Walliams and The Last Kids on Earth. Jesse Joy is a twelve year old that never smiles. Why would he? School is seriously boring. People won’t stop telling him what to do. And he is the poorest kid in class. And just when Jesse thinks things can’t get any worse, his dad gets kidnapped. A mysterious family friend tells Jesse that to save his dad he needs the help of Frankenstein, Dracula and Cinderella. It shouldn’t be too hard. First, he needs to break into the British Library and steal one of its most prized possessions. Then he has to survive a trip to Paris on top of a bullet train. Then he has to jump off a moving rollercoaster into a magical book in Abu Dhabi. Then, and only then, he can finally begin his rescue mission. Can Jesse pull it off? Will he save his father before it’s too late? And will he ever find a reason to smile? WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT MISSION JOY ‘OMG, such a funny book! I laughed so hard I broke a rib! ... The rib punctured my liver. Srsly. They took me to a hospital.’ - William Shakespeare ‘This book is not sad enough. Where is all the pain, the suffering? What is this?’ – Fyodor Dostoevsky ‘Cracking good read!’ - Humpty Dumpty ‘A triumph! It’s the new Harry Potter, only without wands, brooms, spells, a magical school, a boy wizard or wizardry of any kind.’ - Unicyclist Weekly ‘Hugely entertaining. If you like adventure, chases, explosions, comedy then this one is for you. If you don’t like those things then it’s not.’ - Miniature Donkey Digest ‘A modern-day Tom Sawyer with a healthy dash of David Walliams’ - Marketing Department ‘Mission Joy is an absolute masterpiece in my completely unbiased opinion for which I didn’t not receive a small thank you gift from the publisher.’ - Tom Pinocchio, author of Encyclopaedia of Lying ‘This book has a great amount of words. Great words. So very great.’ - Former president of the United States ‘You need to buy this book! Go! Drop everything now! (Unless you are holding a baby.)’ - Negligence Illustrated ‘This is the greatest book in the world, besides mine’ - New York Times bestselling author ‘Unputdownable. I stopped eating, drinking, bathing, breathing. I’m pretty sure there are insects living in my hair. I have a dead cat in my kitchen.’ - Jane Austen

Book excerpt: A buoyant account of the nightly tug-of-war between a sleepy father and his son, and the richly imaginative "sleepy stories" they create Each story told in Sleepy Stories drifts deeper into a beguiling dream world, telling of an elastic gentleman who stretches his body across town to effortlessly slip into bed, or of another sleepy young man who curls inside an upside-down umbrella to take a snooze. In Diego Bianki's magical universe, the waking world is made small (a French press and a red top hat shrink before our eyes), while the dream world Levrero and his son Nicolás build together (a land of sly frogs, giant apes, and smiling squids) waltzes across the page. On the last of Bianki's whimsical illustrations, Nicolás holds the book over his father's nodding head and says, "Another." This is a book to giggle with and curl up with, to take on every sleepy adventure.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Best Book of the Year. A searing and wildly entertaining love letter to New York City from the bestselling author of Motherless Brooklyn and Fortress of Solitude. Chase Insteadman, former child television star, has a new role in life—permanent guest on the Upper East Side dinner party circuit, where he is consigned to talk about his astronaut fiancée, Janice Trumbull, who is trapped on a circling Space Station. A chance encounter collides Chase with Perkus Tooth, a wily pop culture guru with a vicious conspiratorial streak and the best marijuana in town. Despite their disparate backgrounds and trajectories Chase and Perkus discover they have a lot in common, including a cast of friends from all walks of life in Manhattan. Together and separately they attempt to define the indefinable, and enter into a quest for the most elusive of things: truth and authenticity in a city where everything has a price.
