Book Description
Bestselling author Benjamin Black turns his eye to sixteenth century Prague and a story of murder, magic and the dark art of wielding extraordinary power Christian Stern, an ambitious young scholar and alchemist, arrives in Prague in the bitter winter of 1599, intent on making his fortune at the court of the Holy Roman Emperor, the eccentric Rudolf II. The night of his arrival, drunk and lost, Christian stumbles upon the body of a young woman in Golden Lane, an alley hard by Rudolf’s great castle. Dressed in a velvet gown, wearing a large gold medallion around her neck, the woman is clearly well-born—or was, for her throat has been slashed. A lesser man would smell danger, but Christian is determined to follow his fortunes wherever they may lead. He quickly finds himself entangled in the machinations of several ruthless courtiers, and before long he comes to the attention of the Emperor himself. Rudolf, deciding that Christian is that rare thing—a person he can trust—sets him the task of solving the mystery of the woman’s murder. But Christian soon realizes that he has blundered into the midst of a power struggle that threatens to subvert the throne itself. And as he gets ever nearer to the truth of what happened that night in Golden Lane, he finally sees that his own life is in grave danger. From the spectacularly inventive Benjamin Black, Wolf on a String is a historical crime novel that delivers both a mesmerizing portrait of a lost world and a riveting tale of intrigue and suspense.

Book Description
Miserable. That is the only way to describe 10-year-old Daniel's life for the past 3 years. His mother is terminally ill, his father is not around, and their caretaker, his Aunt, is a ruthless beast of a woman. On the day of his mother’s death Daniel learns his life is not what it seems and his mother’s illness may not have been an accident. As the day's events unfold a mystical man appears and offers Daniel a chance to save his mother from death itself. With a magical pair of rainboots Daniel and his newfound friend Penny are transported to a picturesque land filled with a multitude of puddles. They soon learn through a pure childhood mishap that the rainboots can transport them through each puddle to an entirely different world! The duo embarks on a whirlwind adventure, tasked with finding an oddball inventor who has gone to great lengths to stay lost. Along with a new companion (Bregfut the highly educated squirrel and right-hand man to the inventor) they must find their way through this new world, without being caught by the Queen of Oskal who has her own reasons for wanting Daniel within her clutches. Upon their journey Daniels uncovers hidden truths about his family, his mother, and most importantly, himself. The first in a potential series, Puddle Jumpers is a coming-of-age adventure full of magic, madness, and mystery.
