Патриция Рэде4.3 Вот уже несколько лет в Заколдованном Лесу царит мир и спокойствие. Местные жители решили, что драконы не такие уж невоспитанные чудища и с ними вполне можно иметь дело, королева Симорен ждет наследника, а о колдунах вспоминают все реже и реже. И как выяснилось, напрасно. Безобидные на первый взгляд колдуны не примирились с поражением и не сидели сложа руки, а колдовали, колдовали, колдовали… Первая, кто заподозрил неладное, была ведьма Морвен. Морвен хоть и не походила на правильную ведьму (во-первых, она была хорошенькой, во-вторых, неприлично молодой), но охотно воспользовалась случаем подпортить жизнь своему давнему недругу колдуну Антореллу, а заодно подружиться с драконами. И война с колдунами началась!
Линн Бэнкс0.0 When Omri puts away the cupboard in The Secret of the Indian, he vows that it will be forever. Little Bear, Boone, and the other miniature figures he had brought to life will remain plastic.

To Omri's utter amazement, the notebook was written by his "wicked" great-great-aunt Jessica Charlotte on her deathbed. Even more astonishing: It reveals how the cupboard and its magic were created--and changed the destiny of his family, In trying to right a wrong done in the past, Omri finds he has no choice but to break the promise he made to himself. The magical cupboard is opened once more!
Уилл Шеттерли0.0 Growing up is hard to do . . . especially if, like Ron, you've been cursed (blessed?) and changed into a half wolf/half human.
