Brian Jacques
THE ANGEL’S COMMAND
“In this sequel to Castaways of the Flying
Dutchman, Ben and his black Labrador
pal, Ned, continue their travels after an
angel rescues them from the evil crew of
the ship The Flying Dutchman…Jacques
has still come up with another page-
turner. Readers who enjoyed the first
book will find this sequel even more
exciting.” —Booklist

CASTAWAYS OF THE
FLYING DUTCHMAN
A boy and dog trapped aboard the
legendary ship, the Flying Dutchman,
are sent off on an eternal journey by
an avenging angel, roaming the earth
throughout the centuries in search of
those in need. Their travels lead them to
Chapelvale, a sleepy nineteenth century
village whose very existence is at stake.
“The swashbuckling language brims with
color and melodrama; the villains are
dastardly and stupid; and buried treasure,
mysterious clues, and luscious culinary
descriptions (generally involving sweets)
keep the pages turning.” —Booklist

THE RIBBAJACk AND
OTHER CURIOUS YARNS
“The author of the wildly popular
Redwall books spins half a dozen wickedly
imagined yarns filled with surprises
and the cheerful satisfaction of seeing
some thoroughly nasty villains come to
grief. Some children will be reminded of
Roald Dahl, but Jacques, a natural-born
storyteller, is very much the master of his
own material and writes tales that almost
demand to be read aloud—at night, in a
darkened room, by flickering candle or
firelight.” —Booklist

SEVEN STRANGE AND
GHOSTLY TALES
Illustrated by David Ray
“Well crafted and smoothly written...
while suitable for reading aloud, the tales
are even better under the covers with a
flashlight.”

THE BELLMAkER
It has been four seasons since Mariel, the

Bellmaker, and her companion, Dandin,

the legendary Martin the Warrior comes

“This is storytelling at its best.”

against the wishes of her father.

THE LEGEND OF LUkE
“[T]his is a grand, seafaring odyssey
about Martin the mouse warrior and his
treacherous return to the place of his
youth…The formulas are gratifyingly
intact as Martin discovers, as all fatherless
children hope to, that his parent had not
abandoned him, but heroically sacrificed
his life for the welfare of others.”

wheelchair bound since infancy, wonders
about a mysterious old poem relating to

characters...and all kinds of
humor.” —School Library Journal
