Chubby and orphaned, Savannah knows she is lucky to have found a home with her Aunt Millie, yet she must endure relentless teasing by her classmates. Deep inside, Savannah knows she is special, and she is determined to find a way to show them all. One summer evening while trying to catch fireflies, Savannah wanders into the dark garden where she suddenly hears a mysterious voice coming from a glowing pumpkin. The pumpkin turns out to really be Perihelion, a gifted fairy; unfortunately, Perihelion is the victim of a ghastly prank by a jealous and evil gnome who has transformed her into a pumpkin. Terrified she will be made into pumpkin pie if she is not set free, Perihelion begs Savannah to help her. After Savannah untangles the fairy from the vine, a magical mist swirls around her as she transports Savannah to a kingdom on the other side of the moon where Savannah is about to learn more about herself than she ever imagined. In this fantasy tale, a young girl embarks on an adventure with a lively fairy and soon discovers that it is not how she looks on the outside but who she is on the inside that truly matters.
From the award-winning author of The King's Daughter comes a story of love and defiance during the War of the Roses. It is 1497. The news of the survival of Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, has set royal houses ablaze with intrigue and rocked the fledgling Tudor dynasty. With the support of Scotland's King James IV, Richard-known to most of England as Perkin Warbeck-has come to reclaim his rightful crown from Henry Tudor. Stepping finally onto English soil, Lady Catherine Gordon has no doubt that her husband will succeed in his quest. But rather than assuming the throne, Catherine would soon be prisoner of King Henry VII, and her beloved husband would be stamped as an imposter. With Richard facing execution for treason, Catherine, alone in the glittering but deadly Tudor Court, must find the courage to spurn a cruel monarch, shape her own destiny, and win the admiration of a nation.
