Stories of Mischief, Magic and Mayhem

Before the kids sit down at the computer or turn on the television, hand them Wizards, where they can spend the night next door to a man-eating troll, accompany a boy on his first day at wizard school, or take a ride on the North Wind. The Harry Potter series has created a hunger for great fantasy literature amongst children and their parents, many of whom have never read such masters of the medium as C. S. Lewis, T. H. White, Roald Dahl, or E. Nesbit. Now the editors of the Adrenaline series have moved into a new genre with the same attention to great stories, great characters, and great writing that has made Adrenaline the most successful series of its kind. In addition to the above writers, Wizards draws upon a rich load of forgotten classics (without which there would be no Harry Potter) by such authors as Jane Yolen, George MacDonald, Frances Hodgson Burnett, A. Philippa Pearce, Nicholas Stuart Gray, John Bellairs, and Edward Eager.

The greatest leaders and geniuses in history were mischief makers. Theywere the brave women who looked at how unfair the world was and said,"I can do better than that." They were the stalwart men who sawstupidity and asked, "Why do we have to do it that way?" And they werethe delightful children who ganged up on the neighborhood bully and hithim with wet noodles until he said, "Uncle!"

Yes, history's mischief makers had the courage to point out that thingslike slavery, global warming, and turtleneck sweaters are bad. And theyalso pulled off some of the greatest hoaxes and practical jokes of alltime. Their achievements include the Boston Tea Party, the "War of theWorlds" radio broadcast of 1938, and the Cheese Whiz Disaster of 2008.In honor of them, we introduce The Pocket Guide to Mischief,theperfectadditiontoany prankster's collection, as well as afun-filled how-to for the budding troublemaker in all of us.

And Other Poems

Playfulness, spare elegance, and wit epitomize the poetry of Billy Collins. With his distinct voice and accessible language, America’s two-term Poet Laureate has opened the door to poetry for countless people for whom it might otherwise remain closed.

Like the present book’s title, Collins’s poems are filled with mischief, humor, and irony, “Poetry speaks to all people, it is said, but here I would like to address / only those in my own time zone”–but also with quiet observation, intense wonder, and a reverence for the everyday: “The birds are in their trees, / the toast is in the toaster, / and the poets are at their windows. / They are at their windows in every section of the tangerine of earth–the Chinese poets looking up at the moon, / the American poets gazing out / at the pink and blue ribbons of sunrise.”

Through simple language, Collins shows that good poetry doesn’t have to be obscure or incomprehensible, qualities that are perhaps the real trouble with most “serious” poetry: “By now, it should go without saying / that what the oven is to the baker / and the berry-stained blouse to the drycleaner / so the window is to the poet.”

In this dazzling new collection, his first in three years, Collins explores boyhood, jazz, love, the passage of time, and, of course, writing–themes familiar to Collins’s fans but made new here. Gorgeous, funny, and deeply empathetic, Billy Collins’s poetry is a window through which we see our lives as if for the first time.

Day 1: "When tourists ask you to take their photo, make sure you don't get their heads in the shot. They'll soon stop troubling the locals." Day 23: "Many people love their crossword puzzles.
