Bibbidi Bobbidi Academy Book 5: Tatia and the Camping Trip Troubles

Illustrated by Lorena Alvarez Gómez and Andrea Boatta

Disney fairy godmothers-in-training learn all there is to know at Bibbidi Bobbidi Academy in this magical young illustrated chapter book series.

Tatia likes to do everything first and best. She is thrilled to get to go on the first-ever Bibbidi Bobbidi Academy camping trip, and even more thrilled when she learns that the Fairy Godmother has a guidebook with tips for exactly how to do everything the right way. But the trip gets off to a rocky start when Tatia and her classmates discover that there are Pirate Fairies camping at their site too, which is so NOT in the book.

Things go from bad to worse when Tatia discovers a rodent infestation in their imperfectly-pitched tent. But when the school pet dragon, Brave, goes missing, Tatia has the opportunity to follow her heart instead of following the book. It turns out, sometimes adventure requires some flexibility.

Crimson Twill: Witch in the Country

Illustrated by Birgitta Sif

Crimson Twill’s new friends from New Wart City, Mauve and Wesley, are coming for a visit! But as soon as they arrive at Crimson’s house in Cackle County, things start to go wrong. At the rotten apple orchard, Crimson’s ripening spell goes horribly awry (what will they do with all that rotten applesauce?). Then, at the broom-straw field, Wesley cuts too much straw and starts to float away. And when the friends try to collect frogs’ breath for their spells (it makes everything wonderfully green and warty), Mauve gets a stinky faceful of it! What on earth is going on? The whole countryside feels like something big is about to happen, and Crimson wonders if it has something to do with Granny Twill and that giant cauldron of stew she made. Can Crimson get to the bottom of this bad-luck mystery? And, more importantly, will her city friends ever want to visit her again?

Little witch Crimson wants her friends to have fun on their first visit to the country—but everything goes wrong! In a second punny adventure, the delightful series continues with plenty of spells and humor.

Illustrated by Celia Krampien

Soar into adventure with Pippa, an orphaned girl in Ancient Greece, and her beloved winged horse, Zephyr, who head out on a daring adventure to save Mt. Olympus in the second book in the Wings of Olympus series by beloved, award-winning author Kallie George.

Ever since Pippa lost the winged horse race of the ancient gods and was banned from the slopes of Mount Olympus, she and her beloved horse, Zephyr, have tried to adjust to living a normal life on the ground. But when Pippa rescues a lost winged colt, she knows she must return him to the land of the gods and goddesses—even though she was warned never to return.

Up on Mount Olympus, however, disaster awaits. The gods and goddesses are at war, and someone has kidnapped all of the horses. If Pippa doesn’t find a way to restore peace, the battle will destroy the human world and the winged horses could be lost—forever.

With the help of her new friend Hero, the not-so-heroic descendant of Hercules, and her stubborn colt, Tazo, Pippa takes on a task few mortals would dare: to rescue the horses and end the war.

This heartfelt adventure series from acclaimed author Kallie George is perfect for horse lovers and fans of Greek myths alike!

Wings of Olympus

Aloft the slopes of mighty Mount Olympus, winged horses glide among the sun-splashed meadows. It’s a world full of gods and heroes, of daring and intrigue.

Between petty, jealous gods and even more ruthless riders, Pippa has to work harder than she ever has before if she wants to win the race and stay with Zephyr.
