Pages : 141
Book Description
Billy and Annie, on their 13th birthday, are on a lake in their boat fishing, when a mysterious purple mist descends and turns into a purple beckoning finger. Fearless, they follow the finger until vaguely through the mist, they see a banner on a gate with boldly printed words. Welcome to Far-ago Magic Island. Enter at your own peril! Despite the grave warning, they row on through the gateway until they come to a jetty. Then, in order of appearance in the fantasy, we meet the characters. Egnaro: a beautiful girl with orange skin, who welcomes them eagerly. The dumligo: a strange three horned pony that has magic power. Terominus: a dreaded giant Cyclops, ruler of the island, who changes his appearance at will. Deceiving trolls and Ersatz the dragon. Ortll: a giant troll who takes the twins, on an adventurous journey, to his cave. Regano: a captive and slave to Terominus on the Blackside of the Island. She gives the twins hope and encouragement during their captivity in his den. Billy, Annie, Terominus, the dumligo, Ortll and Regano form the core of the adventure. Does Billy have a weapon? Yes! The dumligo, but how does it help them? Will the twins escape from Terominuss dungeon or will Agrilla, a deadly black widow spider on guard, stop them in their attempt?

Magic Island
Author: Elizabeth Waterston
Publisher: Oxford University Press Canada
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
L.M.Montgomery grew up in Prince Edward Island, a real place of "politics and potatoes." But it's her fictional island, a richly textured imaginative landscape that has captivated a world of readers since 1908, when Anne of Green Gables became the first of Montgomery's long string of bestsellers. In this wide-ranging and highly readable book, Elizabeth Waterston uses the term "magic" to suggest that peculiar, indefinable combination of attributes that unpredictably results in creative genius. Montgomery's intelligence, her drive, and her sense of humour are essential components of this success. Waterston also features what Montgomery called her "dream life," a "strange inner life of fancy which had always existed side by side with my outer life." This special ability to look beyond the veil, to access vibrant inner vistas, produced deceptively layered fictions out of a life that saw not just its share of both fame and ill fortune, but also what Waterston calls "dark passions." A true reader's guide, Magic Island explores the world of L.M. Montgomery in a way never done before. Each chapter of Magic Island discusses a different Montgomery book, following their progression chronologically. Waterston draws parallels between Montgomery's internal "island," her personal life, her professional career, and the characters in her novels. Designed to be read alongside the new biography of Montgomery by Mary Rubio, this is the first book to reinterpret Montgomery's writing in light of important new information about her life. A must-read for any Montgomery fan, Magic Island offers a fresh and insightful look at the world of L.M. Montgomery and the "magic" of artistic creation.

Island of the Blue Dolphins
Author: Scott O'Dell
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
ISBN: 0395069629
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
Far off the coast of California looms a harsh rock known as the island of San Nicholas. Dolphins flash in the blue waters around it, sea otter play in the vast kep beds, and sea elephants loll on the stony beaches. Here, in the early 1800s, according to history, an Indian girl spent eighteen years alone, and this beautifully written novel is her story. It is a romantic adventure filled with drama and heartache, for not only was mere subsistence on so desolate a spot a near miracle, but Karana had to contend with the ferocious pack of wild dogs that had killed her younger brother, constantly guard against the Aleutian sea otter hunters, and maintain a precarious food supply. More than this, it is an adventure of the spirit that will haunt the reader long after the book has been put down. Karana's quiet courage, her Indian self-reliance and acceptance of fate, transform what to many would have been a devastating ordeal into an uplifting experience. From loneliness and terror come strength and serenity in this Newbery Medal-winning classic.

Book Description
This book is incredibly BAD. It does not contain MAGIC. Or a mysterious ghost girl. Or spontaneous combustion. Or Spanish-speaking llamas. Nope. None of these things. Okay... maybe one of these things. But certainly not MAGIC. It’s just an ordinary tale of a normal boy who goes to summer camp on a desert island. Nothing exciting or weird happens. The camp is definitely NOT for crazy, badly-behaved kids, and there are NO SECRETS or MYSTERIES at all. And absolutely NO MAGIC whatsoever...
