Trouble by the Bushels
10 pp · children; historical
Peter Pester

When Peter Pester and his pals stumble upon the camp of the invader Carboni in the woods bordering Gladiola, they rush to warn their king—only to be laughed off as troublemakers spinning tall tales. Determined to prove themselves and protect the kingdom, the boys devise a clever scheme involving a monument and false signs to throw Carboni's army into confusion. But as their plan unfolds and the invader's fate hangs in the balance, Peter discovers that sometimes the greatest threats come from within.

Two Who Built a Dream
8 pp

Brother and sister Jonathan and Belinda dream of pirate adventures while reading tales of daring on the riverbank, but when they spot delivery wood meant for their father's carpentry, they decide to build a raft and sail in search of treasure hidden in caves across the river. Meanwhile, their father Peter Beaumont faces his own dilemma at work when tasked with presenting the retiring dam keeper, Mr. Pinkley, with an unwelcome retirement medal—a duty that tests his courage as a town official. As a storm gathers and the children's adventure grows riskier, fate begins to weave together the innocent dreams of youth with the weight of adult responsibility.

The Blacksmith and the Gypsies
7 pp

When a young blacksmith named Ramon meets the beautiful gypsy girl Ilona during a village celebration, he's instantly smitten—and determined to win her heart despite her father's demand that she marry a man of wealth. With little but his wits and twenty coppers to his name, Ramon sets out to prove himself worthy of the proud gypsy tribe's strictest traditions. As fate and fortune test their love, a tale of devotion and deception unfolds that will either unite them or tear them apart forever.

The Sleepy King
5 pp

A young man named Jeffrey sneaks into the royal castle convinced he can cure King Murvyn of his chronic sleepiness—a affliction that's nearly ruined the kingdom—and crosses paths with the beautiful Princess Phyllis. With her help and a daring plan involving disguises and misdirection, Jeffrey sets out to shock the drowsy monarch awake, though the cure comes with consequences neither of them quite expected.
