A little magic can take you a long way. After James Henry Trotter's parents are tragically eaten by a rhinoceros, he goes to live with his two horrible aunts, Spiker and Sponge. Life there is no fun, until James accidentally drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree and strange things start to happen. The peach at the top of the tree begins to grow, and before long it's as big as a house. Inside, James meets a bunch of oversized friendsโGrasshopper, Centipede, Ladybug, and more. With a snip of the stem, the peach starts rolling away, and the great adventure begins!
Twenty-four eerie, macabre, and sometimes hilarious short stories offer a varied sampler of the art of the surprise ending
The night was dark. Mom's driving was slow, winding. The fog was making driving hard. I shifted in my seat and turned the car's heater up.
"What do you think we'll name him?" I asked. I turned to look at mom. She smiled, a unsure smile. "Something wild. I have a feeling this abused horse of yours is not an easy one."
I looked out the window. "I always liked the name Storm," I mused. Mom gripped the steering wheel hard. "Stormy Night," she whispered.
I thought the name over in my mind. I looked at mom's face and knew she could gentle the stallion. She could gentle any horse. I closed my eyes, drifted into sleep.
The next thing I felt was an exploding pain. I heard someone scream, and realized it was me. "Hold still, honey," I heard someone say. I heard the wail of a an ambulance. Lights were on. I saw the truck flipped over, the headlights blaring on. I groaned. The pain hurt so bad, I looked at my hand and saw blood.
Suddenly I heard the whine of a horse and heard someone shouting curse words. I tried to sit up and I saw the horse we had rescued. It was rearing and those dangerous hooves. I tried to say something, but then someone was lifting me up and putting me on a stretcher.
"My, my mom?" I asked. Someone answered. "She's going to be just fine honey. I need your name."
"Aimee Jacobs." "Well Aimee, lie still now. You're going to be just fine." I nodded, closed my eyes.
I never did get to say goodbye. Mom' s last gift to me was that horse, which I knew I would name Stormy Night. I was in the hospital during the funeral. I cried so long.
As Marcy walked in to her barn she heard the whinny of her beloved horse Comet and then another one that did not sound like their three other horses with its high pitched shrill. But who could that be thought Marcy they had four horses in all, she knew this was not one of them.
She walked down to the last stall where she heard it come from and their it was a majestic gelding and a note that said โI know you will take good care of him his name is Wind Dancer.โ
The horse was as dark as night with white socks and beautiful blue eyes that looked like magical crystals this was an odd horse Marcy thought she had never seen blue eyes on a black horse before. It was about fifteen hands and

I sat comfortably on my saddle as Misty trotted into the arena.Mum was there, in the background, cheering me on. I stared at the first jump. It wasn't high. Misty cleared it easily, she also went over the 2nd and the 3rd jump. As we approached the oxer I began to get nervous- but as we got closer i felt more at ease. We were over! My happiness didn't last long as the 5th and final jump came close. The ditch was a 1m long hole in the ground. Misty snorted and lifted her front legs. She whinnied as she soared through the air. I closed my eyes and felt the air rush through my hair. With a grin on my face i opened my eyes and saw the ground rush towards my face. "Ellie, Ellie" said my mum.I opened my eyes to find myself back in my bedroom. I tried to stand up but I fell back down. My sister handed me a pair of crutches. As i hauled myself up i began to worry."What about Misty" I cried.My mum stared out of the window, I looked at the stables outside. Misty was in the field but she was limping."Tomorrow..." said mum, "Misty will be put down,""No" I cried. I tried to run fast with my sore legs but I fell back down. I hopped over to the field. My face was wet with tears, my eyes stung whilst I was trying to hold back my tears.I opened the gates to the field and hopped over to misty. She stared at me with her wide open eyes.I dug my face into her grey coat. I couldn't let her go. The next morning they came for her. I tried to stop them. They just laughed and pushed me away. After loading Misty into the horse carriage they drove away. I thought that was the last time I would see Misty. But boy was I wrong...
I, Jasmine, sat in the middle of a field, under a large, gnarled up willow tree. I drew many horse pictures in my journal, and began wondering what it would be like to own one? Racing through the wind with my long blonde hair blowing behind me, the horse breathing at a steady pace, her hoofs beating along with my heart like a drum. I flipped toward the back of my journal and looked at a particular horse picture I had drawn a few days ago. I knew in my heart that I wanted that horse. I had seen him down the road, jumping gracefully, with a young girl on his back, his long, slender frame never missing a beat. His ears perked, and his tail swished. I could picture myself riding him through a meadow, and the whole world stopping, for just an instant, to watch us. โJasmine,โ My mother called. โDinner is ready.โ I packed up my things and raced toward the large farm house, with a sleeping dog, Marvin, on the front steps. I raced inside, just quickly enough to where I wouldnโt be late. I sat down in my usual seat, and began making my plate. My mom and dad did the same. After dinner, I began thinking about the horse again. Manโฆ that horse could jump. He was as swift and graceful as a fox. Mom must have noticed how spaced out I was because, being her usual self, cared to ask about what I was thinking. โIโm thinking about the horse down the road, mother. You know the one? The gelding,โ I smiled, thinking that they would understand that I wanted him. When neither mom, nor dad answered, I continued on, โI would like to own him.โ โAre you sure heโs even safe to ride?โ Mom asked. โI mean, he could be a wild thing, and he could hurt you.โ โHeโs not wild. A young girl was riding him the other day.โ โWell, I agree with your mother,โ Dad said. โI donโt want you to get hurt, and neither your mother, nor I want to care for it our selves if he would be yours.โ โI will care for him by myself. Thatโs the best way to become friends with himโฆ And I even have enough money from allowance to buy him.โ After a while, mom and dad finally caved in and said yes. โWe will go tomorrow to ask about him.โ I rushed to the old barn out back to clean out a nice stall for him. Iโm finally going to have a horse, I thought. Night time came fast. I had finished cleaning up the barn, and headed inside. I rushed upstairs, put pajamas on, and went to bed. After all, tomorrow was going to be a good day. I woke up as soon as the sun rose. I did my chores first thing, got dressed, brushed my teeth, and made breakfast for my parents. They walked downstairs just as I was pulling it out of the oven. โGood heavens, Jasmine,โ my mom said. โYou must be very happy about this horse.โ I nodded, and made them a plate of food. When we got done, I clutched my allowance in my hand, and waited for dad to start the truck. He did, and we drove down the road with a small two-horse trailer hitched to the back. I took a quick nap in the passenger seat of the truck so I wouldnโt look sleepy when we were talking to the horseโs owners. We arrived as soon as I woke up, and I jumped out of the car, rang the doorbell, and smiled a huge smile. The door opened as dad had his hands on my shoulders. The young girl was at the door with her mom. I was no longer grinning. Neither was the girl. My dad was the first to speak. โHello. Iโm John, and this is Jasmine. We were here to ask you if the grey horse was for sale.โ The girlโs mom smiled. โYes, Atlas is for sale.โ She said. โHow much is he?โ โHe is five-hundred dollars even. But, I could do a discount, if you would like. Considering I only had four-fifty, I handed to her, and hoped that it was enough. She smiled, counted the money, and walked my dad and I to the back of the house, where a large barn sat. We walked inside slowly, as if in a trance. The woman stopped in front of a nice stall that held Atlas, the horse I bought. He was even better up close. His muscles rippled at every movement he made, and his coat was as shiny as silk. The lady led him out of his stall with a nice leather halter that had a name plate with the horseโs name on it. I led her to our small trailer, feeling ashamed because of how grand everything she owned was compared to our stuff. But, the horse was going to be mine. After we loaded Atlas into the trailer, we drove home.
