It’s hard to hear of any child that hasn’t heard of the legend of King Arthur and his mythical sword Excalibur. So, why not check out our King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table? In this adaptation of the famous Arthurian Legends, Marcia Williams presents a comic-strip style re-telling of some of Britain’s well-loved Arthurian stories and legends. Aided by the magnificent magician Merlin, a young Arthur draws the swords from the stone to become the Royal King of Britain and Lord of the Knights of the Round Table. Read all about their brave deeds with the legendary King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad and other heroic knights as they rescue fair maidens, defend Excalibur and search for the Holy Grail.
The story of Little Red Riding Hood has been told to children for centuries dating back to European Folklore of the 17th century. It’s a tale as old as time revolving around a naive young girl and a sly, mischievous wolf hungry for a little snack. But what would YOU do if you accidentally fell into a fairytale? Well, that’s precisely what happens in Seeing Red (Whatever After #12) by Sarah Mlynowski. This New York Times bestselling series revolves around Abby and her brother Jonah, who are off to visit their beloved Nana. But, of course, this isn’t any ordinary story, and when the siblings get caught up in the classic fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood, will they escape the big, bad wolf in time? This fun re-telling is perfect for kids aged 7-9 who are looking to build their reading independence and confidence in a fun and engaging way.
