The Bobbsey Twins 2 - The Bobbsey Twins Adventure in the Country

All at once Bert's ankle turned and he went down. The others did not see him fall. They scrambled over the fence, then looked back when they noticed Bert was not with them.
"Bert! Nan screamed. "Hurry!"
As Bert picked himself up, he saw the bull charging straight toward him. The boy knew he never could reach the fence in time.
The Bobbsey Twins - Bert and Nan, Freddie and Flossie - have won millions of fans since their first adventure in 1904. While remaining true to the spirit of the original editions, these latest revisions of the classic Grosset & Dunlap mysteries have fast-moving plots and exciting illustrations especially for today’s young readers.

The Adventurous Four Again

This somewhat belated sequel was first serialised in Sunny Stories  between February 8th 1946 and January 24th 1947. The action purports to take place in the Easter holidays of the year following The Adventurous Four,  which would make the time of the adventure 1942, but much of what is described in this story is plainly more appropriate to the time it was actually written.

Mara and Dann: An Adventure

Tenderly perceptive, Lessing's first far-future novel since her celebrated Canopus in Argos: Archives series of the late 1970s-mid '80s features two appealing orphans precariously reaching adulthood on Earth thousands of years from now. The Ice Age brought on by the ecological rapaciousness of today's society is receding, bringing lethal drought to the Southern land of "Ifric," where a power struggle in her family has stranded seven-year-old Mara, who is fiercely caring for her even younger brother, Dann, in a remote village of neo-Neanderthals.

The River of Adventure

A river cruise through ancient desert lands will be an adventure in itself, think Philip, Dinah, Lucy-Ann and Jack. An adventure it certainly is, especially when Bill disappears and the children, along with Kiki the parrot, are trapped beneath a forgotten temple where no one has set foot for 7,000 years.
