A delightful fantasy tale about family by the author of the internationally best-selling Pippi Longstocking books, now in paperback
Nine-year-old Karl Anders Nilsson is the unwelcome foster child of an uncaring couple. Lonely and neglected, he yearns for simple things, things that many children already have: a warm and loving home of his own, someone to share his sorrows and joys with, and, most important, his real father.
Then, on October 15, Karl simply disappears. Where has he gone? (Police are searching for him!) But Karl is far away from chilly Stockholm, in Farawayland, where he has found his father, who is none other than the king of that land. And now Karl faces a truly dangerous mission. Prophecies have foretold his coming for thousands of years. He, his new best friend Pompoo, and Miramis, his wonderful flying horse with a golden mane, must travel together into the darkness of Outer Land to do battle with Sir Kato, the cruel abductor of the children of Farawayland. Only a child of the royal blood can stop him...

      Gr 3-7-Pippi Longstocking fans will find much to enjoy in these new editions of Lindgren's classic works about characters just as unforgettable as her rambunctious redhead. In Mio, My Son, a young boy is reunited with his long-lost father, whom he discovers is the King of Farawayland. As the hero learns the ins and outs of his fantastical new home and receives the love of a father he has never known, He also discovers that he's at the center of a foreboding prophecy. Filled with flying horses, an evil villain, and new friendships, this warm tale will resonate with young fantasy fans. Seacrow Island features the adventures of the four Melkerson siblings and their widowed father, who move to a small island in the sparkling Baltic Sea. Reminiscent of Madeleine L'Engle's "Austin" books and works by Louisa May Alcott, L.M. Montgomery, and Jeanne Birdsall, this summery title is steeped in the familiarity and quaintness of island life. With a cast of charming characters and a string of beachside high jinks, this lovely work will enchant readers so much they'll be smelling sea salt in the air for days after closing the last page.-Shelley Diaz, School Library Journal
