Book excerpt: A Unique Twist on Shape-Shifters with Fast-Paced Action, Thrilling Adventure, Mystery, and a Bit of Romance Flo lives an eccentric life—she travels with a popular circus in which the main acts star orphaned children with secret shape-shifting abilities. Once Flo turns sixteen, she must perform, but she’s not ready. While practicing jumping a flaming hurdle in a clearing beside the circus, she spots a dark figure in the trees and fears he saw her shift. The news sends the circus into a panic. In Flo’s world, shifters are unknown to humans with the exception of a secret organization—the EOS, referred to as “hunters.” Hunters capture and kill. They send some shifters to labs for observation and testing—testing they don’t often survive—and deem others useless, a danger to society, and eliminate them. To avoid discovery, shifters travel in packs, constantly moving and keeping themselves hidden. Up until now, the circus was the perfect disguise. Believing she has brought attention to the group, Flo feels dread and anxiety, causing her to make a mistake in front of the audience during her performance—a mistake that triggers a violent attack from the hunters. Flo manages to flee the torched circus grounds with Jett, the bear shifter who loves her; the annoying elephant triplets; and a bratty tiger named Pru. Together they begin a new journey, alone in a world they don’t understand and don’t know how to navigate. On the run, they unravel secrets and lies that surround the circus and their lives—secrets and lies that all point to the unthinkable: Have they been betrayed by the people they trusted most?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A boy’s wish to be a star wrestler is granted in this wacky middle-grade fantasy Ollie and his older brother, Hollis, have wrestling in their blood: Their mom was a pro whose dreams of stardom were dashed by a devious opponent. Now she’s an overworked, underpaid ref at Slamdown Town, the local arena. Ollie’s goal in life is to win the golden championship belt for his mom—immediately followed by his other goal: to hang his bully of a brother from the roof by his tightie-whities. But there’s one problem: Ollie inherited their estranged dad’s puny frame, while Hollis got their mom’s brawn. Thus Ollie has resigned himself to a fate of wrestling mediocrity and wet willies . . . until the day Hollis gifts him a piece of stale gum and forces him to chew it. Ollie soon discovers that the gum—bought on eBay and formerly chewed by a wrestling legend— has an unusual side effect: the ability to physically transform Ollie into a pro wrestler. As Big Chew, Ollie’s finally able to put Hollis in his place and be a star. But when trouble befalls his family, being Big Chew gets a lot more complicated. In the end, Ollie knows he can’t have it all; and it’s only when he asks himself who he really is that he learns what it means to be a champion.

Book excerpt: Queen Zixi of Ix, or The Story of the Magic Cloak (1905) is a novel in L. Frank Baum’s Land of Oz series. Originally serialized in St. Nicholas from November 1904 to December 1905, Queen Zixi of Ix was considered by the author to be his finest work of fiction. Unlike most of Baum’s stories, which bridge the gap between fairy tale and fiction by portraying Earth alongside the Land of Oz, Queen Zixi of Ix takes place in the world of fantasy alone. The novel was adapted into a 1914 silent film titled The Magic Cloak of Oz. In the Forest of Burzee, Queen Lulea and her fairies design a magical cloak that will grant its wearer anything they desire, as long as they have not stolen it. Ereol is sent to Noland to deliver the cloak to the first unhappy person she sees. Along the road to the capital city of Nole, Ereol meets Fluff, a young girl on her way into town with her brother Bud and Aunt Rivette. As they enter the city, Bud is declared King by the five high counselors of Nole, making Fluff a Princess and granting them control of the kingdom of Noland. As the cloak makes its rounds at the royal palace, bringing happiness and fulfillment to countless government officials, Queen Zixi of the neighboring kingdom of Ix hatches a plan to take the magic cloak for herself. Filled with rich, detailed layers of fantasy from the mind of L. Frank Baum, Queen Zixi of Ix, or The Story of the Magic Cloak is a story about the frail innocence of childhood and the will to persevere that can be found in even the youngest of hearts. Long overshadowed by the film, Baum’s Land of Oz series is required reading for children, adults with children, and adults who refuse to let life lose its flavor of fantasy. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of L. Frank Baum’s Queen Zixi of Ix, or The Story of the Magic Cloak is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L. M. Montgomery is perhaps best known as an author of youth fiction, especially her Anne of Green Gables series. But of her novels intended for adult readers, The Blue Castle is the most famous. In Valancy Stirling’s rural Ontario town, marriage is thought to be a young woman’s vital accomplishment. Yet Valancy, now in her late 20s, has never had a flicker of interest from any suitor. Add to this the oppressive home life she endures with her mother, and Valancy’s misery is complete. In order to find some relief, she builds a fantasy world in her imagination—her “Blue Castle”—full of love and beauty. Even this, however, fails to support her when her chest pains prove to be the sign of a terminal condition. This traumatic discovery combines with Valancy’s inspirational reading to prompt her to take back her life—much to her relatives’ consternation. Undeterred, Valancy finds new worth and freedom in relationships she could never have imagined before, which bring their own surprising twists and turns. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
