Rodney, abandoned by his mother at his weird uncle Ray's, encounters a demon named Birthless and must figure out his uncle's secret while preserving himself, his newfound friends, and a sleepy Alabama town from destruction. STRAYS is an unusual YA adventure story that's part C.S. Lewis's Screwtape Letters and part Tom Sawyer. The focus of the book isn't on simple lessons, but is instead the story of a lonely boy realizing that there is more to the heavens than stars, more to books than facts, and more to his Uncle Ray than tie-dye shirts and honeybees.

When Princess Irene is sent away to live in a great old castle-house in the mountains, her life is dull until she happens upon a hidden stairway. But whatever—or whoever—she finds upstairs will lead her out of doors and into the mountains where only the miners are brave enough to go… “I have never concealed the fact that I regarded George MacDonald as my master: indeed I fancy I have never written a book in which I did not quote from him.” ~ C.S. Lewis This is one of the best fairy tales ever told, written by George MacDonald, a master storyteller. This book is the kind of book that will keep both children's and adults' attention as they wait to find out about what happens to Princess Irene and Curdie as they go underground near the kingdoms of the Goblins. This Canonball reprinting includes an Introduction by Timothy Larsen: "Although The Princess and the Goblin is not an allegory, it is nevertheless a deeply Christian piece of writing.... Throughout his entire life George MacDonald was always trying to lead people to God, and it is clear that he hoped that this chief lesson of The Princess and the Goblin would be applied to the person most worthy of our trust and obedience, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Trust and Obey Him."

If you gave a thousand immortal monkeys armed with kitchen blenders all the works of R. L. Stine and Plato, what would they produce? No, not Shakespeare but with enough time maybe you would get The Purloined Boy. The Purloined Boy is about a boy who is stolen by a bogeyman and taken to a city called, Superbia. There he is raised with other stolen children by the Guardians. The Guardians serve the interests of the bogeymen though. And what are those interests? If you have an appetite for dystopian fantasy, you can read the book and find out. Fortunately for our hero there is a conspiracy working to save the thousands of stolen children in Superbia. Even better, there s a talking mouse who comes to the boys aid and promises to take him home. There is only one proviso.
