Books with author Pat Henderson

In a place that was not quite the mountains and not quite the sea... an amazing thing happened. It was such an extraordinary thing that for hundreds of years, up until this very day, people have told and retold the story over and over again. The surprising thing, however, is that half of them have only told one part of the story and the other half have only told the rest. And because of all that retelling, both halves of the story are now very famous. Very famous, indeed. But for some strange reason, the entire story has never yet been told. Never. Until now that is. Praise for previous works by C.J. Henderson “Henderson is a born storyteller.” —The Armchair Detective “Henderson is a solid and original writer who brings a great deal of variety as well as a twist-in-the-tail irony to his stories.” —Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine “Top flight entertainment.” —Locus

Fenella is officially a damsel, but she’s the despair of her parents, who want to marry her to young Sir. Mallicose. Big, muscular, dark, scruffy and bold, Fenella would rather chop logs and shoot arrows than embroider a tapestry, and she isn’t interested in Sir. Mallicose at all. Her younger sister Felicity—delicate, pretty, shy and retiring—loves embroidery, loves Sir. Mallicose, and hates Fenella.

Daniel’s back and even more draw-ery than before! There are a few simple rules Daniel follows. Rule One: never let an adult see your weakness. Daniel made that mistake and look where he ended up—summer camp. Rule Two: never make fun of the person who feeds you, unless you like Miss Gunderson’s peppery pancakes and green hamburgers. Rule Three: stay away from girls who love Glitter Ponies. They have cooties, after all. And Rule Four: never, ever lose your magic pencil. But Daniel has broken all of his own rules. Now he’s stuck and starving at Camp Bigfoot with the school bully as his bunkmate and an ooey-gooey girl who won’t leave him alone. If all of that wasn’t bad enough, his prized possession, a pencil that brings his drawings to life, has gone missing and wacky creatures are popping up all over camp. Can Daniel survive Camp Bigfoot and find his magic pencil before it’s too late?

The Van Helsing name reborn Fourteen-year-old Alex has no idea that he's descended from the world's most famous vampire hunter, but that changes fast when he arrives at Glenarvon Academy and confronts two vampires in his first three days. Turns out Glenarvon isn't the only school near Lake Geneva. Hidden deep underground lies an ancient university for vampires called the Scholomance. And the deadly vampire clan lord known as Icemaker? You might say he's a visiting professor. When two of Alex's friends are kidnapped by Icemaker, it's up to Alex to infiltrate the Scholomance and get them back—alive. Assisted by the Polidorium, a top-secret vampire-hunting organization with buried ties to the Van Helsings, Alex dodges zombies, bullets, and lots—and lots—of fangs on his way to thwarting Icemaker's plans and fulfilling his family destiny.

When Mitalla turns three, she learns that her mother has kept a dark secret from her: Mitalla is a slave. Being a member of an intelligent feline species, she has never seen a “pink and furless” human until a cruel overseer takes her and her siblings from their seemingly safe home and into a life of bondage. Even though Mitalla has struggled to survive as the runt of her litter, she is unprepared for the harsh world of the desert where her enslaved species is forced to mine a precious mineral collected by the human king of her world. As Mitalla comes of age, she constantly seeks ways to escape with her siblings into “the greater world,” a place her mother once described as having lush green grass and an abundance of food and water. To her advantage, her early struggles have honed her persistence and wit. Despite her strengths, cruel guards, barbed wire fencing, swords, whips, and constant hunger make escape seem all but impossible. Frustrated desires finally erupt in a tragedy that forces her to make a decision: to stay and suffer or risk her life and the lives of her family to escape. Either way, she will need all the cunning and courage she possesses to survive.

Excerpt from Circus DoctorThe telephone shrilled with the prolonged insistence which is usually associated with a long-distance call. Strug gling out of bed half groggy with Louisiana heat and nervous exhaustion, I found my way to the living room, fumbled for the light and lifted the cool receiver.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
