Treasure Island follows young Jim Hawkins, who finds himself owner of a map to Treasure Island, where the fabled pirate booty is buried; honest Captain Smollett, heroic Dr. Livesey, and the good-hearted but obtuse Squire Trelawney, who help Jim on his quest for the treasure; the frightening Blind Pew, double-dealing Israel Hands, and seemingly mad Ben Gunn, buccaneers of varying shades of menace; and, of course, garrulous, affable, ambiguous Long John Silver, who is one moment a friendly, laughing, one-legged sea-cook . . .and the next a dangerous pirate leader. The unexpected and complex relationship that develops between Silver and Jim helps transform what seems at first to be a simple, rip-roaring adventure story into a deeply moving study of a boy’s growth into manhood, as he learns hard lessons about friendship, loyalty, courage and honor—and the uncertain meaning of good and evil.

Her true name was spoken only in shadows: Levónalehím Saffronlé Lórien. Her past, fractured, hidden, and half-remembered-haunted every quiet step she took. Yet Middle-earth has a way of summoning those it has marked, whether they seek such paths or flee from them. Though few knew the truth of her origins, her bond with Bilbo Baggins ran deeper than blood or name, a quiet thread that tied her wandering heart to his door. But even that fragile tether could not hold her when fate intervened. When her road crossed that of Thorin Oakenshield and his Company, the turning of her life became inevitable. Fate bound her to their quest-the reclaiming of Erebor, a kingdom buried beneath sorrow, gold, and dragon-fire. Among Dwarves who eyed her with suspicion, and shadows that hunted what light she carried, Saffronlé found something she had not known since childhood: a place where her presence mattered. And in the echo of steel upon stone, beneath starlight and the whisper of ancient evils stirring, she discovered something rarer still-love, steady and unexpected, blooming in the unlikeliest of hearts. •PG-13 : Violence, Action, & Brief Strong Language• {My Rights : +cover, +character, & +my ideas}

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, is an American children's novel written by author L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow, originally published by the George M. Hill Company in Chicago on May 17, 1900. It has since been reprinted on numerous occasions, most often under the title The Wizard of Oz, which is the title of the popular 1902 Broadway musical as well as the iconic 1939 musical film adaptation. The story chronicles the adventures of a young farm girl named Dorothy in the magical Land of Oz, after she and her pet dog Toto are swept away from their Kansas home by a cyclone. The novel is one of the best-known stories in American literature and has been widely translated. Its groundbreaking success and the success of the Broadway musical adapted from the novel led Baum to write thirteen additional Oz books that serve as official sequels to the first story.
