Book Description
The Enchanted Rocking Chair touches many hearts as it travels throughout many parts of the world. As you travel through the pages that give birth to this wonderful chair and as you meet the sweet and generous children that possess it for a limited time, it will touch your heart as well. The chair is born into a troubled world of war and pain, yet it manages to bring a measure of hope and happiness to all the families that come in contact with it, and they in turn affect the lives of the people they meet. It receives its enchantment from the cloak of a tiny man whose life is saved by a kind and generous grandfather who lives in a small village in France. In appreciation for the kindness of the old French gentleman, he leaves his bright red cloak to be used as the seat of the rocking chair, and that gift endows the chair with the gift of magic. Destined to stay only a short time with each child, it changes their lives and the lives they affect for all time. The love they show others is partly captured by the chair, and it becomes even stronger as it travels the world. But there is a dark side to the magic of the chair. Dark forces object to the use of magic by mortals and cause pain to humans as well as to the magic folk. You will laugh and perhaps cry as you read these stories to your children or to yourself. You and they will learn that you don't have to believe in magic to have it touch your heart. You will not put this book down, nor will your children allow you to do so until you read the last word of the last chapter, and even then, you will want to know where it will go from there. The Enchanted Rocking Chair will enchant your life.

Book Description
“A totally captivating, hilarious, and clever look on the magical kingdom of Manhattan, where kissing frogs has never been this fun.”—Melissa de la Cruz, author of The Au Pairs Katie Chandler had always heard that New York is a weird and wonderful place, but this small-town Texas gal had no idea how weird until she moved there. Everywhere she goes, she sees something worth gawking at and Katie is afraid she’s a little too normal to make a splash in the big city. Working for an ogre of a boss doesn’t help. Then, seemingly out of the blue, Katie gets a job offer from Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., a company that tricks of the trade to the magic community. For MSI, Katie’s ordinariness is an asset. Lacking any bit of magic, she can easily spot a fake spell, catch hidden clauses in competitor’s contracts, and detect magically disguised intruders. Suddenly, average Katie is very special indeed. She quickly learns that office politics are even more complicated when your new boss is a real ogre, and you have a crush on the sexy, shy, ultra powerful head of the R&D department, who is so busy fighting an evil competitor threatening to sell black magic on the street that he seems barely to notice Katie. Now it’s up to Katie to pull off the impossible: save the world and–hopefully–live happily ever after.

ISBN: 0385392559
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Introducing the second book in the The Enchanted Files! Told in diary entries and more, it's a new magical, modern-day comedy series by the master of funny fantasy and bestselling author of My Teacher is an Alien: Bruce Coville! Meet Gerald. Gerald is a griffin—a creature with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle. According to the Code of the Griffins, that means he should be: 1. Brave and fierce in all situations! 2. A guardian of a great treasure! 3. Completely and totally hidden from the human realm! But what if a Griffin ISN’T brave or fierce? What if he’s NEVER found a great treasure (or ANY treasure for that matter)? What if he feels like such an embarrassment that the only thing left to do is run away? And what if the only place no one will look for him is . . . the human world? This laugh-out-loud adventure, full of humor and heart, is ideal for fans of Escape From Mr. Lemoncello’s Library or Chris Grabenstein. "Hilarious. Middle-grade readers will be carried along by the buoyancy of the writing, the skillful design, and the humor on almost every page. Egg-ceptionally funny!"—Kirkus Reviews "Coville brings his signature wit and humor to this fantasy story. This second installment adds authentic and engaging, multidimensional characters to a strong series that finds heroes in outcasts." –School Library Journal Praise for Enchanted Files Book 1, Cursed: * “Smart, amusing, and a lot of fun” —Booklist, Starred “With magic, mischief, and mayhem to spare, this sweet story of an unlikely friendship ought to delight readers of any age.” —Publishers Weekly “A knee-slapper.” —Kirkus Reviews
