It is 1242. On a dark night, travelers from across France cross paths at an inn and begin to tell stories of three children. Their adventures take them on a chase through France: they are taken captive by knights, sit alongside a king, and save the land from a farting dragon. A heartrending, yet funny, medieval tale is brought to life in this audiobook format. Ages 10 and up.

Relive the famous tale of deception and betrayal, perfect for young fans of the hit musical Hamilton. Longing for reward and recognition, American Major General Benedict Arnold turns traitor as he plots with British Major John Andre to help the British win the Revolutionary War. Recommended for Grades 3 and up.

If you liked the series "How to Train Your Dragon" by Cressida Cowell, you're sure to enjoy this first book in her new series.  Xar, a 13-year old wizard and Wish, a warrior princess, meet as enemies. But, when they discover that the witches they thought were extinct have returned, they have to rise above their prejudices in order to work together to fight the bad magic.  This friendship catapults them into a world of adventure and secrets they never saw coming. Recommended for grades 4-6.
