Bethany's talent for ESP takes a new direction when her visions take her to another place.

It was a good dump, Rory the kangaroo rat decided, altho he had no intention of staying long. Just a few days rest, and then he'd be off. But that was before he found the model airplane with its motor still pretty much intact. Ever since he'd spent a winter at an airfield and listened to the pilots and mechanics talk, he'd longed to fly.

But before he could hide the plane and then begin to work on it, Charlie Gribble came along--a boy as interested in the plane as Rory. Charlie was in the dump looking for a safe place for his pet lemming, Crispin, which the housekeeper had just thrown out of the house.

Together, the three of them made a good team. What one couldn't do, the other could. And the plane soon became a real plane--one that could fly on its own, with controls inside it. The only problem was a huge flock of starlings that had recently descended on the garbage part of the dump. They were a nuisance for the whole town, but they were a real menace to Rory, Charlie and Crispin every step of the way.

How the Fox was rebuilt, how the three unlikely collaborators did their work, the attempts of the town to drive aaway the starlings and the final victory of the Fox and its crew add up to a book that blends technology, fantasy and real problems in new and interesting ways.

There is only one way to go: north toward their old home by the sea—the ranch that had been sold, and their beloved horses sold, when their parents were killed in the car accident. Running away from the drunken and abusive uncle with whom they’d been sent to live, Karen and Tom know they are taking the most obvious route, but no other place draws them.

It’s a long journey before they reach the coast and discover the one place where wild ponies roam, ponies that people call magical—and where they tangle with a gang of thieves. Escaping, they find shelter with a group of honest, kind and mismatched new friends, not all of them what they seem. They don’t know then, longing so for their horses, that Karen’s buckskin pony yearns for bis old home too, where he had been bom—but that pony is as stubborn as Karen.

This haunting story, like Shirley Rousseau Murphy’s other horse book, White Ghost Summer, has been enjoyed by many readers who will be happy to find back in print.

Fifteen-year-old Jenny Middle struggles to hold her family together despite poverty, constant moves, the jail sentence and drunkenness of her mother, and a sister tragically involved with drugs.

The title has been changed to UNSETTLED on the ebook edition, issued in 2011. This timeless story of growing up forty years ago will be as relevant and moving to girls of today as it was to those who read it when first published.

When Tattie's house floats away on a flooded river, she takes in several animals and people and has a wonderful ride.

Thursey is too strong-willed to be intimidated by her stepsisters with their cruel taunts claiming that her father died a coward in the recent wars. She defies them, hiding the little books she makes that preserve a variety of Cinderella stories from around the world--tales she hears from travelers on the high road who take shelter at the inn run by her stepmother. She knows the sisters would destroy the small, handmade books, for in their view, it is unnatural for a common girl to know how to read.

But when the king’s summer gala draws near and Thursey is, as usual, left at home, she takes charge of her own fate. With help from a traveling monk and a friendly goatherd, she secretly prepares to attend the ball. Does she have help, as well, from the ugly white mare whom she loves? And will she gain more than a rare evening of happiness, perhaps even the joy of new-found love?

This vivid Cinderella retelling with a spunky and inventive heroine, set in a medieval European village, is a romance enjoyed by YA readers as well as younger ones. Those who have been searching for it will be happy to know that it’s back in print.

The great dark power of the monster Hape blinds the farseeing minds of the Seers of Carriol so they can only grope against the growing evils around them. Followed by faithful Skeelie and the wolves, Ramad aids heroes of many ages of the planet Ere, but seems forever separated from Telien as she fulfills a fate of her own. Lobon, son of Ramad of the Wolves, helped by the wolves and the Seers of Carriol, continues his father's struggle to find the shards of the runestone and unite them for the power of good. Sequel to "Caves of Fire and Ice."

In most regions of Ere to be a Seer, gifted with telepathic and visionary powers, means death—or does it? For some it may mean an even worse fate: destruction of their minds and enslavement by the dark powers determined to conquer the world.

Book One: The Ring of Fire

Zephy and the goatherd Thorn are dismayed to discover that they themselves are Seers. Once they know, they are driven to escape from the repressive city of their birth and rescue others, many of them children, who have been captured and imprisoned by its attackers. Only the discovery of one shard of a mysterious runestone offers hope that they can succeed.

Book Two: The Wolf Bell

In an earlier time, the child Seer Ramad seeks the runestone itself with the aid of an ancient bell that enables him to control and communicate with the thinking wolves of the mountains. The wolves become his friends--but will they be a match for his enemies, the evil Seers of Pelli, who are determined to control Ramad’s mind and through him, to obtain the stone for their own dark purpose?

Prince Tebriel and his dragonbard companions prepare to fight a fierce battle against the dark forces that threaten their world.

With the help of four shape-shifting dragons, dragonbards Tebriel and Kiri are instrumental in inciting an uprising against the Dark and in locating the magical ivory lyre.

Injured in battle with the Dark Raiders, sixteen-year-old Tebriel is healed by a colony of talking otters and sets out to fight the Dark and its forces of evil in the world of Tirror.

The fabulous Shirley Rousseau Murphy—whose “Joe Grey” mysteries are the cat’s meow—enchants once again, as a delightful duo of feline mamas sinks their claws into a murder investigation.
