Selfors, Suzanne

A twelve-year-old boy who transformed into a rat at birth seeks to undo his family's curse at their abandoned estate where he forms an unlikely friendship with a girl who loathes rodents.

Rescued from a rainy, boggy town where she works in a dismal factory, ten-year-old orphan Isabelle learns that she is the last surviving member of a family that tends the world's only remaining magic-producing farm.

"[Presents] the story of a girl and a wild horse, equally out of place in a strange, new world, but equally fierce and brave. With each other to lean on, will these two free spirits be able to find their place in the West?"--Back cover.

When her parents and the other quiet, shy wombats of the Northern Forest are captured by the traitorous, carnivorous Tassie devils, Lola Budge, a talkative, adventure-seeking young wombat, embarks on a rescue mission, joined by a swamp water rat and a baby penguin.

Ten-year-olds Pearl and Ben, continuing their apprenticeship at Dr. Woo's Worm Hospital, discover that Dr. Woo and the sasquatch are both sick with Troll Tonsillitis, and they must travel to the Imaginary World to find the only cure: a griffin's feather.

As Ben and Pearl try to convince a dragon to return Buttonville citizens their things, which he stole, an emergency call from the Imaginary World comes in warning that the rain dragon has been injured. Dr. Woo is out, and Mr. Tabby is unavailable--it may be that Ben and Pearl will finally get to go to the Imaginary World and see where all Dr. Woo's strange creatures come from.

While his human Elliot adjusts to his new home and stepfamily, Gizmo, an evil genius guinea pig, searches for a new evil lair where he can plot to take over the world, but Gizmo is constantly thwarted by Elliot's little stepsister Jasmine (who likes to play dress-up), Abuela (who may or may not like to eat cavies), and Wedgie (a Corgi superhero and Gizmo's nemesis).

Wedgie and Gizmo go camping with the family. Wedgie is excited for the trip, but Gizmo has other plans.
