Best friends Jared and Lissa want to become gardeners like Ephraim, the caretaker of a lovely garden in a beautiful valley called Ephrath. But when other children tease Lissa for working in her garden, she starts to feel discouraged. Will she give up? Or will Jared and Ephraim convince her to keep trying? "Ephraim's Garden will appeal widely as both a read-aloud book that adults can enjoy for the very young, and as an attractive fable story for kids up to age ten." -D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

Taigh Squirrel loves adventure stories. But painting, reading, and watching moving pictures through the windows of person houses are the closest he thinks he'll ever get to going on a real adventure himself. Even though his neighbor-friend Felicity Sparrow has gone on lots. After all, he's just a flying- well, gliding squirrel. Whose biggest challenge has been teaching new friends how to pronounce his name. ("It's like tiger... without the -errr.") But when a fairy comes to Taigh's tree looking for Felicity, everything changes. Felicity is out of town. And right now, Taigh is the only one who can help!

Felicity has had many adventures with her sparrow pal Cairn, so nothing should be able to scare her any more, right? Well, maybe there still are a few things that can scare her, especially if it's Halloween, and there's something in the woods that Felicity and Cairn aren't expecting to see. But there might be something, or someone, in the town that's even more scary than anything the two sparrows could find in the woods!

Julie, Ani, and Jax think their time traveling adventures are over. The old house has been turned into a museum, and the tree with the magical rabbit hole has been chopped down! But when Ani's new cat starts acting funny and leads them on a wild chase down into an eerie cellar, the kids realize that another adventure is just beginning. But where (and when) will they go this time?

What do raccoons and rabbit holes have in common with Harriet Tubman?Jax, Julie, and Ani wouldn't have thought much at all, until the three kids go exploring near an old house in the woods that local legends say is haunted. The kids don't believe in ghosts, and don't expect to find anything scary. But when they meet a raccoon that's acting a little weird, they start to suspect that something strange is about to happen. Especially when a rabbit hole opens up in the roots of a tree big enough for the kids to climb down inside...

After two adventures into the past, Ani is sure she, her big brother Jax, and their friend Julie are time-travel experts. But when Will Taylor, an old friend from 1781 shows up in their backyard, Ani and Jax don't know what to do! Julie's on a mysterious errand of her own, so it's up to Ani, Jax, and their other friends (including Will's own descendant!) to get Will home. Can they do that with the help of their time-traveling raccoon friends? Maybe. But it would be a lot easier if the raccoons' babies didn't act so mischievous!
