Books with author M. Christopherson

Jawanza watches everything from his window. He watches the children running and playing below, but most of all he watches the birds write all over the sky scribbling their crazy bird clouds. When he steps outside and meets Roderick the Three and his ensemble of feathered friends, he discovers a unique and unexpected friendship. Award-winning author/illustrator Christopher Myers brings us a thoughtful look at the beauty of friendship with Fly.

Josh and Trent are finally on the camping trip they have been dreaming about all year when they receive a visit from a mysterious old Indian. Because of their kindness, they are given the clues to an ancient hidden treasure. With the help of Josh's sister Jennifer and her friend Shasta, and all the luck they can muster, they use all of their skills as pilots and rock climbers to try and solve the mystery, in spite of the forces of nature that are conspiring against them, and a mysterious deadly Indian warrior that could be ghost or flesh. The clues to the treasure change their summer vacation into high adventure and extreme danger. Will they find the treasure before their luck runs out?

Excerpt from Won in the Ninth: The First of a Series of Stories for Boys on Sports to Be Known as the Matty BooksWell, said Hughie, this is fine all right, boys. We did win, didn't we! And it's very kind of you to try to give me all the credit, but if it hadn't been for the other ten fellows on the team, I guess I couldn't have done very much, and anyway it took eleven pretty good men to beat that team from Jefferson.Then, turning to Johnny Everson he said, Gee, I wish the snow would melt. I'd like to find out what kind of new fellows we have who can play baseball.And that was just like Hughie. Here it was winter, with snow on the ground, and a month or two, of cold weather still in sight. He had hardly got rested from the football campaign, and now he was wishing it was time to get out the bats, balls, and masks!It gets me, said Delvin to Gibbie over in one corner, how that old boy hustles and is thinking about all kinds of things all the time, but I guess that's the way to win out.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
