Books with title The Boy Who Loved Words

Timmy is a young boy who feels alienated from his mother and stepfather. He gravitates toward his aging and beloved grandfather, who fills his head with wild fantasies of life beneath the sea. When his grandfather suddenly dies, Timmy feels adrift, and when his family takes a vacation on the North Carolina coast, he tries to remain close to his grandfather by living out some of the old man’s fantasies. Things take a strange turn when Timmy turns into a dolphin, and a group of wild dolphins adopt him. Ocean life should be as wonderful as his grandfather promised, but Timmy quickly realizes that fantasies are a poor substitute for family, friends, or his grandfather.

Manny O’Donnell revels in his status at the top of his high school food chain. He and his friends party in the mountains on a blustery night, sharing liquor and lame ghost stories around a campfire. The next morning, as a wild fire rages in those same mountains, Manny experiences doubt. He was the last of the drunken crew to leave the cave, and he’s uncertain if he extinguished the flames. Within hours, he becomes the number one arson suspect. Santa Ana winds + matches = disaster. You’d think he would've learned that the first time he started a fire. As he evades a determined arson investigator, Manny, a modern-day Scrooge, is visited by ghosts of the past, present, and future. He’s forced to witness the fate of his inadvertent victims, including Abigail, the scarred beauty who softens his heart. Manny must choose between turning around his callous, self-centered attitude, or protecting his own skin at the expense of anyone who gets in his way.

Revenge keeps dangerous company.Oscar, one of the lost children of Fairendale, has been transported, by way of a Vanishing spell that saved his life, to the uppity land of Lincastle. Here he watches, from a distance and with a heavy chip on his shoulder, the people of Lincastle strut about their streets in fine clothes and hats and shoes that, unlike his, do not have gaping holes. He watches, mostly, a book shop that reminds him of the one his mother owned in Fairendale.When Oscar steals a book from the shop and is put on display by the law keeper of the land, he is rescued by an unexpected person—Freya, princess of the land. But soon his danger becomes her danger, and men storm the halls of the castle to capture her, deeming her unworthy to inherit the throne because she pardoned a criminal. Oscar and Freya must learn to fly—or lose their precious freedom forever.The Boy Who Loved a Swan is the twelfth book in the Fairendale series, an epic fantasy middle grade series that explores both familiar and unfamiliar fairy tales, legends, myths, and folk tales. The world of Fairendale revolves around villains and heroes—all on a quest for what they believe is right. But one cannot always know, at first glance, who is the villain and who is the hero. Throughout the series, the story of King Willis and his determination to keep the throne of Fairendale (at all costs? Perhaps. Or perhaps not.) is woven into the story of his son, Prince Virgil, heir to the throne and friend to the village children, and the story of fairy tale children fleeing for their lives—children who become what we know as fairy tale villains, for one good reason or another. But, remember, one cannot always know, at first glance, who is the villain and who is the hero.

Inspired by the balloons at my youngest grandchild's first birthday party, this story of a boy who bought one balloon too many should interest all children who loved balloons. As in The Cat Who Loved Hats, there is a moral for those who wish to find it. But this story of a small boy and his balloons, colourfully illustrated by Keya Rahman and Aolad Hossain, is primarily meant to encourage children to read by appealing to their spirit of adventure.
