Tales from the Schoolyard is a collection of action packed short stories that can be enjoyed by both younger and older kids - perfect for an after school read, a long car ride, or a quiet night before bed.
In "Almut the Gnome," Almut is a gnome on a mission to find a rare plant growing in the mountains near his home, but a bitter old sorcerer will stop at nothing to end his quest.
In "Tale of the Dying Thief," an old man on his deathbed has one final wish: to see a jewelry box he stole when he was younger. David has promised to retrieve the box before the man passes away, but soon discovers the true purpose of the container.
In "Silk," the wooded area at the edge of town has been known to swallow up villagers. When a girl's younger sister disappears, she takes it upon herself to search the haunted area all alone.
In "Toy Store Escape," a kid finds themselves shrunk and in the middle of a toy store where the toys have come alive. It seems like a good time until one of the toys starts hunting after them. They'll have to find their way back home... if they can survive the night.
