SYNOPSIS: "When Brenda Tuna and India Ink Teidlebaum meet on the first day of seventh grade, it's a case of natural affinity. India's ex-hippie parents find Brenda rather unusual. Brenda takes over the school newspaper and founds the Buffalo Boosters, the richest - and wackiest - club in the history of Florence High School. They acquire a live Bison as a mascot for the school's ailing football team, plus other adventures."

Cheerful young King Zar's coutnry is overthrown by a rival king, who spares his life but takes everything he has save one suit of clothes and a small bag of money. Undaunted, Zar sets out to find work for himself; unfortunately, no one wants to hire a deposed king. Along the way, Zar makes six highly unusual friends; Eryx can become a serpent, Furze can become a tree, Kindle can become a fire, Edge can become an axe, Agus can become an elephant, and Dumble can become a bee swarm. As Zar rescued each of these men from predicaments their talents brought about, the six travel with him on his journey to find a job. Their powers come in very handy when Zar falls in love with a princess, whose haughty father forces the younger king to perform three nearly impossible challenges before he can wed her.

As part of the repackaged and rebranded C.S. Lewis Signature Classic range, this title in which Lewis answers the question, 'Do miracles really happen?' will have obvious appeal to the growing spirituality market. 'The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this.' This is the key statement of Miracles, in which C. S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation. Using his characteristic lucidity and wit to develop his argument, Lewis challenges the rationalists and cynics who are mired in their lack of imagination and provides a poetic and joyous affirmation that miracles really fo occur in our everyday lives.
