I love to tell stories of time travel or "time-slips" into the past, of ghosts or kidnappings, dangerous inventions, and narrow escapes. You can join in a comic adventure with the Bird family and the villainous Herr Doktor Pfnur and his serious invention in THE ICE GHOSTS MYSTERY, or if you're a time-traveler, catch your breath in THE BLACK CANARY at the fate of a boy from today trapped four hundred years in the past, in Shakespeare's London-- or of a boy and his father trapped in the tragedy of a ghost betrayed by his brother in POOR TOM'S GHOST, a sequel to THE BLACK CANARY-- or you can follow the Arthur cousins as they explore the caverns BENEATH THE HILL in the first of the Abaloc adventures. You can enjoy the Native American tales from California in DOWN FROM THE LONELY MOUNTAIN or BACK IN THE BEFORETIME or the Indian monster tales from Texas in HOLD UP THE SKY. You can follow the spooky tale of an ancient Egyptian magic that wakes up here-and-now in THE EGYPTIAN BOX-- or the exciting picture-book adventure of the true-life girl hero of BRAVE CLOELIA. To read about a book, click on the drop-down BOOKS by TITLE list on the left, or on the book-cover button in the column below it. (and see below for more about that journey back in time in the young-adult novel THE BLACK CANARY at theblackcanary.home ).
