Dora's Snowy Forest Adventure is the reader version of the "Dora Saves the Snow Princess" TV special. Like most of the Level 1 readers from this series, many of the words in the rebus-style text have been replaced by small pictures to make it easier for children to read. The plot is considerably abridged, but the book does manage to tell how Dora saved the Magic Snowy Forest by smiling into the magic crystal in a way that a 4 to 6 year-old can read.

Stephen King - The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
Somewhere in New England, nine-year-old Trisha gets lost in the woods while on a walk with her family. Her only comforts are the radio broadcasts of Boston Red Sox games featuring her favorite player, closing pitcher Tom Gordon. Lonely, frightened, starving, and cold, Gordon becomes Trisha's imaginary companion - and the key to her survival against an unidentified someone leaving death and destruction in its wake.
