Felix has a heart condition that threatens his life. His parents take him on holiday to Costa Rica, where they visit the Divide, a place where the waters that run down to the Pacific and Atlantic oceans separate. But at this exact, magical spot Felix passes out, and when he opens his eyes, he discovers he's arrived in a back-to-front world where mythical creatures and magic are real, and humans and science are just rumour and legend. Luckily, Ironclaw - a griffin - takes him under his wing, and together with Betony, a tangle-girl, they set out to find a cure for Felix's condition and the way back home. Fast-paced and funny, The Divide is a quirky and immensely enjoyable adventure whichweaves in strands of ecology and mathematics, and the emergence of a multinational enterprise in an innocent world. This is the first volume of a trilogy, and the Kindle edition has new illustrations by the author.

An exciting, junior high curriculum from Hewitt Homeschooling Resources which covers reading and composition at the seventh-grade level. Each of the eight chapters includes reading classical material as well as applying a literary lesson. The author had graded thousands of home-school written papers before writing this series. The workbook breaks down the literary concepts to provide bit by bit comprehension. Students read four full novels plus four shorter pieces taken from the book, Stories and Poems for Extremely Intelligent Children by Harold Bloom. This Student Guide consists of the lessons which include plot line, increasing your creativity, autobiography, the character sketch, dialogue, basic terms and rhyme in poetry, sound in poetry, nonce words, brainstorming, outlining, choosing a topic, writing a good opening, and instruction on four poetic forms (limerick, haiku, cinquain, and list poem). Each lesson consists of a brief biographical introduction, vocabulary, comprehension questions, the literary lesson and mini-lesson, and writing exercises. Book-length works are sold separately. The Workbook and The Teacher's Guide are also needed. Although this is listed as a seventh grade text, students cannot be easily boxed into grades. A sixth grader who is a strong reader and likes writing would be able to do well with this course. This course can also work for the eighth grader who is behind in language arts, or who struggles with reading and/or writing for other reasons. Besides Stories and Poems, you will need to have The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Story of My Life (by Helen Keller), and All Creatures Great and Small. New Second Edition, Paperback. 154 pages.

The workpages give students the chance to practice the skills and concepts learned in the lessons along with composition skills (writing from note cards, rewriting in your own words, etc.), thinking skills (e.g., differentiating fact from opinion, identifying bias), and grammar review (e.g., capitalization, pronouns and antecedents). There are also optional puzzle and extra challenge workbook pages. Perfect bound pages lay flat to make it easy for students to write in it.

After his daring adventures in The Divide and Back To The Divide, Felix is safely back at school in the real world and looking forward to a visit from his best friend, Betony. But when Rhino, the school bully, knocks over Felix's bag in the corridor, all his plans are shattered. In Felix's bag, forgotten until this moment, is the magical lamp he kept last summer. From its spout escapes a furious brandee (genie) who takes Rhino hostage, demanding that Felix and Betony return him home. Together they make the journey across the Divide, but little do they know that inside the lamp, Rhino has discovered a dangerous new toy; an enchanted jinx box that will give him everything his heart desires...Together with their old friends, Felix and Betony must cross frozen northlands, fight terrifying wolf-like snagglefangs and outwit devious japegrins, to stop Rhino and the trickster jinx box that could wreck both their worlds for ever.

On the other side of the DIVIDE, magical creatures are real and humans are the stuff of myths! Part 1 in the incredible, unforgettable trilogy.Felix is spending what may be his last summer in Costa Rica, that odd global crossroads where two continents meet and two oceans part. Perched on an abyss, Felix loses consciousness and falls through The Divide. When he comes to, he's in another world: one where legendary animals are real. And he soon discovers that all these wonderous creatures think HE'S the mythical beast with magical powers. Guided by his newfound friends Betony, an elfin girl, and Ironclaw, an eagle-eyed, owl-eared, lion-pawed brazzle, will Felix find his way back home? And will he find a cure for his weak heart?

Felix is back in the real world after his extraordinary adventure in The Divide. But so too is Snakeweed, the villainous japegrin, who's followed him home - and he needs the enchanted formula hidden in Felix's notebook. Snakeweed's visit brings disaster. He turns Felix's parents to stone and, worse than that, his wicked spell seems to be spreading like a sinister virus which could threaten the whole of life on earth. To find a countercharm, Felix must return to the magical palce he discovered the previous year. But when he gets there he finds it much changed, and his unusual friends in a horrible fix.

The thrilling sequel to the fantastical novel THE DIVIDE, which PUBLISHERS WEEKLY called "inviting...with a nicely constructed cliff-hanger [that leaves readers]...hungry for the next."After his adventures in THE DIVIDE, Felix lives quietly at home with his parents. But Snakeweed, the arch villain, is still at large. Having failed to sell bad magic to the real world, he wants to go back home. All he needs to get there is the spell hidden in Felix's notebook. So Snakeweed pays a visit to Felix--and freezes his parents with a horrible curse that begins to spread like a magical disease. Soon the curse is effecting everything--and the Earth itself may be in danger. Felix must return to The Divide to find the counter-charm that can cure his parents...and save the world!
