Petit Diamant, le dragon, la Vallée des Rubis
by Agnes Ruiz Valerie PikeIl y avait le souffle d’un dragon, au sommet d’une Montagne Solitaire. C’était un jeune dragon appelé Petit Diamant. C’était le seul dragon au monde capable de produire des rubis à partir de ses écailles. Chaque fois qu’il faisait ses écailles rouges ou quand il pleurait, des rubis tombaient sur le sol. Petit Diamant devait préserver son trésor de rubis des dragons envieux, ce qui l’obligeait à rester dans sa grotte. Il avait des pointes toxiques indigo sur sa queue. Une fois par an, sa mère, Queue Noire, revenait de Lapen pour prendre les rubis qui remplissaient la grotte de Petit Diamant pour les mettre en sécurité dans la Vallée des Rubis. La Vallée était une zone de terre basse entre les montagnes. Lapen, niché parmi les plus hautes montagnes du monde, était le lieu de naissance de Petit Diamant. C’est là que vivait la famille de sa mère. Queue Noire effaçait les traces derrière elle lorsqu’elle volait haut vers le repaire caché de Petit Diamant. Les rubis brillaient d’une teinte rouge vif qui pouvait être vue de très loin. Petit Diamant savait que sa mère viendrait les chercher. Elle n’était pas venue la semaine précédente. La princesse Pénélope pourrait trouver des gemmes rouges au bas de la Montagne Solitaire. Elle devait bientôt se marier au prince Valentin. Le grand mariage du courageux Valentin et de la belle Pénélope se dérouleraient plus tard ce jour-là et Petit Diamant voulait y assister avec sa mère. De son repaire près d’un volcan inactif, Furie, la collectionneuse d’or repéra la lueur des rubis. Furie était une dragonne avide qui convoitait les bijoux précieux et les objets brillants par-dessus tout. Son lit était fait d’or et de trésors qu’elle avait volés. Elle reposait sur d’innombrables pièces d’or. Elle avait des ailes de chauve-souris pleine d’écailles vert forêt et des griffes puissantes. Sa longue queue se terminait par une
Petit Jean: A Wilderness Adventure
by Gary Zaboly William B. JonesPetit Jean Mountain, a dramatic promontory in the Arkansas River Valley, owes its name to a legend that has endured for centuries. Marguerite, a young Parisian lady disguised as a cabin boy, accompanies her fiancé on a voyage to the New World to redeem the land grant he has earned in service to the king.

Jones sets his fictional narrative in the French Colonial era during the reign of Louis XV. Taking his reader on a journey across the Atlantic, through Louisiana Territory, to a beloved natural landmark, Jones spins a tale of mistaken identity, love, and adventure.

Petit, the Monster
by Elisa AmadoPetit is puzzled. He's a good boy when he plays with his dog, but he's bad when he pulls a girl's hair. He can be very nice to his grandfather but terrible to the pigeons. It's good when he takes care of his toys, but very bad when he doesn't want to share them. In short, he doesn't know the answer to his mother's question, "how can such a good boy sometimes do such bad things?" Extraordinarily talented author and illustrator Isol has created a brilliant, funny and ever-so-true recreation of a young child's thinking about a very important question--am I good or am I bad? Petit's wonderful ruminations on the subject, and his astute observations of his own behavior (and that of the adults around him), are so perfectly and lovingly observed and so wonderfully illustrated that this book is a little masterpiece.

Petronella & The Trogot (Petronella Ser. #1)
by Cheryl BentleyPetronella moves to Charis Cottage hidden in the thick dark woods at the bottom of a track on the outskirts of Fort Willow. Everything is perfect. Except for one thing. Since she moved an enormous black tree has appeared in her back garden in the shape of a giant with a big black circle on the ground under it. Petronella finds out it is a deep pit and is terrified to go near its ridge. But one night...How is the tree linked to:- The creepy night-time visits by the Hooded Horseman?- The boy ghost, Percy, Petronella finds in her bed one night?- The invasion of ghosts of the ancient Strincas population all over Fort Willow?Reviews"Kids will like this. Girls will like it for romance and boys will like it for the scare factor.""Full of ghosts and ghoulies, this is an imaginative tale."“This was presented as a supernatural chiller and I must admit…it was a fantastic and unique read for MG and YA readers. I do think that the author showed wonderful imagination in creating this world and these characters.”“Petronella & the Trogot is introduced as a supernatural chiller. People who lived almost 1,200 years ago, members of the Strincas civilization, start appearing and living in modern day Fort Willow. Needless to say the Strincas resurrection scares (off) many modern day citizens. If that were not enough, Bentley adds a hooded horseman (think Legend of Sleepy Hollow) and a black, evil monster tree in Petronella’s back yard.In Part 1 one you get to know Petronella ‒ our protagonist, modern day Fort Willow inhabitants, the Strincas, and the evil Lord Fortesque. In Part 2 Petronella and Percy, a Strinca, investigate the tree and find themselves on a journey. Their journey is similar to Dante’s Inferno with a modern twist... In Petronella & the Trogot, you know who all the offenders are. I enjoyed reading the novel.”
Petronella Saves Nearly Everyone
by Dene LowYou would think Petronella's sixteenth birthday would be cause for celebration. After all, fashionable friends are arriving at her country estate near London, teas are being served, and her coming out party promises to be a resplendent affair. Everything is falling nicely into place, until, suddenly-it isn't. For Petronella discovers that her guardian, Uncle Augustus T. Percival, has developed a most unVictorian compulsion: He must eat bugs. Worse still, because he is her guardian, Uncle Augustus is to attend her soiree and his current state will most definitely be an embarrassment.During the festivities, when Petronella would much rather be sharing pleasantries with handsome Lord James Sinclair (swoon), important guests are disappearing, kidnapping notes are appearing, many of the clues are insects, and Uncle Augustus is surreptitiously devouring evidence. It's more than one sixteen-year-old girl should have to deal with. But, truth be told, there is far more yet to come . . .

Maybe they can even write a story of their own..." Jo Ann Hakola, The Book Faerie“What happens next? You’ll have to jump on this fast moving fairy tale thriller to find out!” Bill Baker, Maine, USA. “When I finished reading Petronella and the Janjilons, the first thing that came into my mind was, ‘I need to read more Nancy Drew.’ I kind of felt that it’s somehow like Nancy Drew.“Its contents are really action-packed. The writing is really alive and the author somehow connected with me through her writing.”Teenage reviewer, Philippines The bookThe Janjilons are not what they seem.
