Once upon a time in a strange land called Ohio, there grew a beanstalk. Not believing her eyes, or the fact her semi-elderly dad is climbing the behemoth, Jackie, still in jammies, follows. Only to find a giant...holding her dad as if he were a squeaky toy. Enter stage right-the wanted criminal. Tarnn the Bloody is all that is earthy, pagan, uninhibited. He is called thief and murderer, but is so much more than that. And Jackie has a body he can't keep his hands off. To have Jackie, to love her, he'll brave any peril. To help Jackie rescue her father, Tarnn will have to confront a giant spider, gargoyles and the most powerful witch his land has ever seen. Enter stage left-the prince. Calanah is so decadent, so hot, Jackie has to resist the urge to stop, drop and roll. He is masculine beauty, the essence of seduction, and he wants her, fuzzy slippers and all! In a kingdom where magic rules and mythical creatures roam, not everything is as it seems. The price of love will be a soul living forever in Darkness.

Once upon a time, there lived a princess named Jacqueline. The royal knights protected her from danger — even if there wasn't any! When Jacqueline climbs the beanstalk, she meets a giant who is just as afraid of the knights. In this modern retelling of a classic fairy tale, Jacqueline shows everyone that there's nothing to be afraid of after all. Includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers with worry-busting strategies and calming tools. From the Note to Parents and Caregivers So how can we manage worries? Did you notice we used the word “manage”? That’s because humans are wired to experience worry, so aiming for zero just isn’t realistic. But keeping worry to a level where it doesn’t get in the way of everyday life is very realistic. Here are some strategies to try. Keep as many of them as possible in your worry busting backpack so you’ll be ready to help your child when worries arise! Explain that everyone worries. Examine body cues. Calm physical sensations. Shift attention. Work on problem solving. Think differently. Face fears. Avoid giving excessive reassurance. Reduce other stresses. Take care of yourself. Seek support.

Jackie, her 25-year-old Aunt Misty, and her dog Roadkill jump in the car and take off following an old fashioned TripTik map into an alternate dimension. In this alternate dimension, Jackie is a Warrior Wizard encountering robbers, mountain monsters, ogres, rival clans, obstreperous customs officials, a stowaway princess, an adopted bobcat kitten, werewolves, ghosts, giants, and dragons-all on her way to rescuing the Sovereign's kidnapped son. As she travels, she discovers her magic powers, and the powers of all the weapons she carries-her cap and gown, honor cords, stole, basketball, and things she picks up along the way-including a pocketful of magic beans.

What if Jack didn't climb up the beanstalk? Riffing off the old familiar fairy tale, Beanstalk is a middle-grade contemporary fantasy adventure. When Jackie's dog disappears down a mysterious hole drilled by a supercharged beanstalk, he and his friend Pete set out to find him. The pair--one the new kid in town the other a misfit who befriends him--become ensnared by the beanstalk and are carried to a strange underground world called Ondergrondse. Here they meet three kindly fairies, one persuasive gnome, a beautiful princess, and a giant, angry ogre. The boys learn that, as per an ancient prophecy, they've been lured here for a reason that doesn't include finding their dog. They must foil a plot to deny a princess her rightful place on the throne. They have to convince her to go with them to the only place she will be safe--their Connecticut home, in a world known to the inhabitants of Ondergrondse as Upworld. To do so, they will have to overcome many challenges.

Violet is a science-loving girl inventor with a flair for the air! Fans of Ada Twist, Scientist and Rosie Revere, Engineer will love this classic underdog story by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Steve Breen. By the time she's two years old, Violet Van Winkle can engineer nearly any appliance in the house. And by eight she's building elaborate flying machines from scratch—mind-boggling contraptions such as the Tubbubbler, the Bicycopter, and the Wing-a-ma-jig. The kids at school tease her, but they have no idea what she's capable of. Maybe she could earn their respect by winning the blue ribbon in the upcoming Air Show. Or maybe something even better will happen—something involving her best-ever invention, a Boy Scout troop in peril, and even the mayor himself! "An engaging story of a spunky girl who follows her dreams . . . Violet is a terrific role model."--School Library Journal
