Books with author David Miller

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

TEEN AND YOUNG ADULT. Waking up in a hospital bed, seventeen-year-old Cassie has no memories of her past. All she knows is what she’s been told by the doctor and her parents: she underwent an experimental procedure for a cyst on her brain. Just as she begins to accept the explanation for her lack of memories, she meets someone who forces her to question what she’s been led to believe about why she’s in the hospital.If she has no recollection of events in her life, how can she be sure that any of them actually happened the way others describe? Are her “memories” actually real, or are they being formed for her? Is she really who she thinks she is?And if she can’t even trust herself, whom can she trust?

But sometimes, circumstances don’t allow some things to be hidden as faeries inhabit the school and the nearby town of Aldsley. What happens when the past is ignored and secrets are exposed? What happens when magic returns to a world of science?

Remember these words well. It’s only a thin veil that separates them from our world. As time grows near, they will return to make their war upon mankind.

And each generation of five that sees shall endure more than the last. But the final generation of Watchers will not only endure, not only watch… …THEY WILL FIGHT.

The Salter family receives an unexpected visit from their sinister Uncle Teddy, a perpetual traveller dress in black, with a macaw on his shoulder and a bagful of unusual presents. Amongst these is an apparently boring metal dish which he gives the two children Ben and Sam (aged 10 and 7), saying it will allow each of them to have three wishes. They soon find out that this is true. Whilst holding the dish, Ben accidentally turns Sam into their favourite soft toy, and Sam has to use up a wish to become himself again. With his second wish, Ben makes himself and his school teacher fly around the classroom. Then Sam takes revenge on his brother by getting all the girls at school fall in love with him. When Sam disappears after bungling his last wish, Ben reluctantly uses his last wish to go and rescue him. They are both transported to a frightening place that involves a train across the desert, fire-breathing dragons, and the return of Uncle Teddy on a black stallion.
