Books with title The Adventures of Little Selim

What is Twierks? No one knows! One of the inhabitants of the mysterious Daeya, mentions that Twierks is the password to enter the world of the magic and sorcerers. How could he know that, since in Daeya, it is forbidden under a threat of death to mention Twierks out loud—to even think about Twierks! Chapa and Davkaleon are boys from different worlds that become unexpected friends when they unite on an adventure in a mysterious world of dragons, monsters and magic. Sorcerers? Magic? Could this be real? Does Twierks really exist? Of course! In fact, a Twierks magician is sitting across from me now, adamantly shaking his head and trying to assure everyone that there is no and cannot be such a thing as Twierks. All the talk about it is a fairy tale. I’ll secretly add that this is not just a fairy tale, but a very plausible lore. Who is Chronicles of Twierks for? For those who love adventures, mysteries and unexplained phenomena. For those who are ready to escape into a world of fantasy and adventure. And for those who are interested in the latest scientific hypotheses that go far beyond any fantastic stories.

One day Mama became very sick and was taken to the hospital. She left a large sum of money to her great nephew, Stewart, to take care of Koko if something should happen to her. But when she passed away, Stewart abandoned Koko in a park. This is the story of how Koko was suddenly forced to tackle life on his own -- with no food, water, or shelter. He met lots of dangers along the way, like mean dogs, vicious coyotes, scary dogcatchers, and even life-threatening injuries. Sometimes Koko made friends, but, as time went by, it began to look like nobody would ever give him a good home..A great read for 7-10 year olds.
