When he becomes frustrated trying to learn the rules of chess, Charlie is whisked off to a world of giant living chess pieces who take turns showing him how they move.

Charlie and the Chess Set teaches beginning chess players all the rules of the Game, the concept of pieces working together, and chess notation. Fantasy, imagination and family values combine to create a unique method of learning that players will not soon forget. This is a wonderful resource for any young player learning chess, as well as for more experienced players who thought there were no more surprises!

In December of 1914 the Great War had progressed into its first winter. Unexpectedly, a series of events led to an unofficial armistice between the Allied and German forces for several weeks. The threat of peace breaking out proved intolerable to those in charge. The Christmas Truce tells this remarkable story through the eyes of a private in the Scottish army. The events are true; the characters and illustrations have been created to bring this story to life.

Olivia is not like the other little vampire kids. No one knew why her fangs never grew in. She always felt different and left out.Sometimes being different isn't a bad thing. Maybe you're just special.

There are dark mysteries in Victorian London. Many events do not reach the papers or are misreported, as they appear too strange to be taken seriously. The murky threats are largely ignored.Sherlock Holmes is just beginning his career as a consulting detective, but he puts no stock in the supernatural and attributes everything to natural causes that may be discovered through intellect and an examination of the facts.Addy Spencer used to be of the same mind. At least, until she comes to work for Mordecai Black, a private investigator with a self-proclaimed title of "Werewolf for Hire." Events during their case analysis lead Addy to doubt her senses, and she launches her own investigation as to whether her employer is a real werewolf or not.If the supernatural truly exists, there is a pressing need for someone to take the cases that Sherlock Holmes refuses.
