Books with author Margaret Stephen

'I started reading and couldn’t put it down till I’d finished it, which is always an indication of a great book.' Amazon reviewer.'It is a cross between Indiana Jones, Harry Potter and, I reckon, Lord of the Rings. It has all the best elements of each of them. It will hold you, it will entertain you, and it will surprise you'. Amazon reviewer.'Do not bandy words with me, woman!' he shrieked, his spit fizzing like acid as it splattered the stone around the window. 'You are nothing. I could squash you with a thought if I wished. You live only as long as I might find you useful in aiding my escape from this place.' Teenage twins, Luke and Alice Goodnight, live an idyllic life in modern-day rural England. However, when Luke discovers a mysterious object in an old book, a disastrous chain of supernatural events ensues. Recruiting their elderly aunt, Augustine Cherrybrum, an eccentric sorceress, only makes things worse for the twins when her curiosity gets the better of her. Something truly evil is stirring in an ancient mine under a nearby wood. Luke and Alice will need all the help they can get to fight it. Can a retired Special Forces soldier, and a secret society of Arthurian knights, founded by Merlin fifteen hundred years ago, aid the twins in their perilous quest?

In COLORS with Pepper, we follow an adorable, spirited dog, on her busy day and learn 11 colors in fun ways: from Pepper's red superhero cape, to her pink bunny ears, and brown eyeglasses. As Pepper eats, bathes, naps, plays, and does other activities she also experiences many emotions including sad, hopeful, and happy. Artwork is photography with delightful embellishments. Colors are blue, red, yellow, purple, green, orange, white, brown, pink, grey and black. The book's design all makes this an enjoyable story to read separate from learning colors. This is part of a series. Other titles are NUMBERS with Pepper and ALPHABET with Pepper.
