About this ebook series
Nine novels from a three-time Newbery Honor author whose "tales of wonder, mystery, and suspense beguiled two generations of children and young adults" ( The New York Times).
Blending realism and fantasy, Zilpha Keatley Snyder was a master at drawing young readers into mesmerizing worlds. Collected in one volume, here are some of her most memorable and beloved novels.
The Velvet Room explores ranch life for a child of a former migrant worker. Cat Running offers a unique glimpse into one girl's experience when her family takes in a malnourished, barefooted "Okie" during the Depression In Song of the Gargoyle, thirteen-year-old Tymmon befriends a strange and enchanted forest creature. In The Trespassers, a boy and his sister discover a secret hideaway in a deserted mansion—and maybe a ghost. And in Fool's Gold, a group of teens discover a map that leads them through dangerous, abandoned gold mines.
This treasury is a perfect introduction to the novels of one of the most revered figures in children's literature.
