Bøger af Jane Louise Curry

At war with his stepmother, in trouble at school, and desperately unhappy, thirteen-year-old Ray finds himself shipped off to distant family in the high mountain hollows of Western Virginia. There Ray encounters a strange world of mystery, where nothing quite makes sense. The mystery deepens when he discovers a great stone snake carved on the wall of an old coal mine high in the hollow. A piece of that stone draws Ray into a conflict that echoes an ancient tragedy played out over sixteen hundred years before.

Dave finds a curious silver medallion in a cave by the Ohio River-and then finds he has changed places with Dewi, a sixteenth-century boy in medieval Wales. When he travels across the sea with explorers searching for the legendary cities of the New World, Dave hopes to find a way back to his own time and place. Meanwhile, Dewi is adjusting to life in the modern world. As the boys journey through time, caught up in a world where prophecies come true and past becomes the future, they find that they may be better suited to the other's time than for their own.

As the adventures continue for the characters from The Wolves of Aam, they face more dangers in the jeweled caverns and darkness of the Shadowlands. The tale moves to a dramatic conclusion that unlocks the final mysteries of the magic stones. These books lay the foundation for the events told in later books in the series.

When Miggle creates a make-believe treasure hunt, she never dreams it could turn into a very real and dangerous battle against an ancient evil-or that nearby strip-mining could be a threat not only to the landscape but also to the existence of the Fair Folk who dwell within the mountain. In the end, it's up to Miggle and her siblings and cousins to help these mysterious and beautiful people find their way to safety.

When Callie and the other children stumble upon an ancient artifact, they find themselves facing a terrible danger from the long-ago past. Time overlaps in a mysterious way, while the children fight to help an ancient tribe in both the past and in the present.

The characters from The Daybreakers return for more time-travel adventures. An imaginary girl, invented by Callie and her friends as an elaborate hoax, takes on an unexpected reality that turns out to be at the heart of a magical mystery from the long-ago past.

Jane Louise Curry brings Elizabethan London to life in this remarkable story about music, family, and finding one's place in the world.Twelve-year-old biracial James has grown up in a musical family. Not only are both of his parents musicians, but his four grandparents are as well. Everyone assumes that James will pursue music, yet he would rather become a newspaper reporter...or an astronomer...or a cook...anything that will let him leave music behind and be his own self. Everything changes when, on a family visit to London, James discovers a portal that leads to London in the year 1600, then finds himself unable to return to the point in time he had left behind. James is forced to join the Children of the Chapel Royal, a group that performs for the queen of England, and the musical talents he denied are now put to the test and pushed to their limits. In this alternate world James comes to realize that he cannot survive and get back to the twenty-first century without recognizing, understanding, and making the most of his musical gifts.
