The Magic Pencil
“Everything you draw with this pencil will come to life – but only until the sun goes down,” the old woman told Princess Gillian. “When the sun sets, everything you’ve drawn will turn to dust.”
The Mystery of the Red Yarn
When Bailey woke up and looked out her bedroom window one November morning, she saw a long piece of red string lying on the snow. It started under the apple tree, stretched across the yard, and disappeared under the gate. Where it went after that was a mystery.
The Runaway Kite
It was a very big kite, and Keiko wasn’t big at all. The moment his grandfather let go, the wind caught hold of the kite and made it rise, higher and higher and higher in the sky.
