Jo O’Connor has spent her whole life moving around. Rule #1: If at all possible, don’t pretend to be something you’re not. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Our list includes bestsellers for children who love to play Minecraft stories told with LEGO bricks books that teach lessons about tolerance, patience, and the environment, and much more. This paperback edition also boasts an animal tracks ID card, perfect for outdoor exploration! Sky Pony Press, with our Good Books, Racehorse and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of books for young readers-picture books for small children, chapter books, books for middle grade readers, and novels for young adults. When a scary catastrophe strikes, and Zack is faced with life-threatening danger, will he have the courage and problem-solving smarts to lead his friends to safety? With humor, honesty, and a deep appreciation of boys and wilderness, author Cameron Dokey and illustrator Craig Orback capture readers’ curiosity in this rollicking first Boys Camp story of adventure and bravery, Zack’s Story. After Zack makes a mistake that nearly costs him the friendship and trust of his cabinmates, he loses confidence in himself. But nature has surprises in store for Zack: animals, weather, and even the earth itself don’t behave the way he expects, and especially not the way his favorite book, The Outdoor Adventure Guide, has described them. Finally, he’ll have the summer full of wilderness backpacking, rock climbing, canoeing, whitewater rafting, friendship, and fun of which he’s always dreamed. At last! Being at Camp Wolf Trail is a dream come true for city boy Zack. I’ve been at Camp Wolf Trail, what? Ten minutes? And already I’m having an adventure. Belle agrees, never dreaming that she and the Beast have the same wish: to be seen not with the eyes of the mind, but of the heart.So, Zack Wilson thought, almost laughing at himself. One day, during a fierce storm, Belle’s father stumbles upon the fabled tree-only to become ensnarled by it and come face-to-face with a terrifying and lonely Beast, who will set him free on one condition: that Belle carves the Heartwood.

Her solace is her wood-carving hobby, and she longs to find the Heartwood tree: Legend has it that, when carved by the right hands, it can reveal the face of one’s true love. She begs to be called by her given name, Annabelle-or even Anna for short-but to no avail. Unlike her older sisters Celeste and April, whose names suit them perfectly, Belle knows that she is not beautiful. The story of Beauty and the Beast finds new life in this magical and imaginative retelling that’s filled with romance and adventure.īy the time her sixteenth birthday comes around, Belle feels more convinced than ever that she is being called by the wrong name.
