Books with author Celia King

The Seven Ancient Wonders of the World were built during a period that spanned more than two thousand years. Their size, design, and craftsmanship were without equal in the ancient world. And their legendary grandeur remains with us to this day. Of the seven, only one is still standing. However, drawing upon historical descriptions, Celia King has reconstructed all of them in miniature splendor. Brief historical descriptions are accompanied by magnificent collage illustrations that literally leap from the page and evoke the richness of a long-lost time. This is a jewel-like treasure that readers of every age will turn to again and again. Awards and honors for The Seven Ancient Wonders of the World:Bologna Critici Award

When a trio of teenagers come out of the abandoned mine on the outskirts of the village of Amatista telling stories too fantastical to be believed, the residents of Little Tombstone find themselves suddenly inundated with adventure-seekers wanting to replicate the experience. It's up to Emma to figure out if it's all some elaborate hoax. Perhaps, it is as Hank, proprietor of Little Tombstone's Museum of the Unexplained, insists; there are some things beyond the realms of science. Emma's investigation is complicated by a plate of poisoned tamales, Earp-the-Pug's rise to fame as an internet star, and seven-year-old Maxwell's refusal to go to school.
