The Christmas Box
A Return to Christmas
This heartwarming Christmas story follows the lives of two eleven-year-old
heroes--the weary and cynical Artemus and an outcast named Chess, a homeless
con-artist with a heart of gold. Through a simple twist of fate, these boys
will find themselves swept into the adventure of a lifetime--one that takes
them beyond their wildest imaginings.
The Magical Worlds
of Harry Potter
J. K. Rowling fills her books with references to history, myths, legends and
literature. Here are the stories behind the stories - - the astonishing origins
of magical creatures, the clues to hidden meanings in names, and stories of
real-life wizards mentioned in the Harry Potter series.

for "Children"Family values
start with the information kids put into their heads. And a book
is a magical chance to teach with a light touch. Here are some book
choices that I think represent ideals worth passing along, but that
package the messages in a way that kids find fun and entertaining.

Fairy Tales inspire and stories from other
cultures enlighten. As a child, as young as 7 or 8 I was
reading every fairy tale, myth I could get my hand on and
truth be told, there were things I was supposed to be learning
in high school & college that I already knew because of
reading these books as a kid! These are great gifts for kids
of both sexes ages 7-12 years old and great preparation for
your kid to read Joseph Campbell when he or she gets older!
