      <g:title>A Crow Toes Quarterly Mystery Issue</g:title>
      <g:description>&lt;p&gt;Get a mystery issue of Crow Toes Quarterly Magazine. Each magazine is filled to the gills with spooky, kooky middle-grade literature and artwork that&amp;#39;ll make your skin crawl. If you opt for this, we&amp;#39;ll root around in our haunted cellar and pick at random &lt;strong&gt;one&lt;/strong&gt; of the seven issues from our second series (2020 - 2022). It&amp;#39;s a dangerous task, but well worth it to share a copy of this magical magazine with you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Each issue will include a copy of either issue one or two from our first series way back in 2007. So really, it&amp;#39;s like getting two issues for the price of one. Deals! Deals! Deals!!!!&lt;/p&gt;</g:description>

      <g:title>The Healing Sand</g:title>
      <g:description>&lt;p&gt;The Healing Sand (Paperback Edition)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By Christopher Millin&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(29, 29, 31);"&gt;The Healing Sand&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(29, 29, 31);"&gt; is the final book in Christopher Millin&amp;#39;s Hole Stories and it starts right where Fowl, Swine and Things That Send Shivers Down Your Spine ended. Onus and Twig have inadvertently ruined another of William Ernest Fang&amp;#39;s elaborate plans and have left the villain trapped under a giant stuffed bear named Gertrude. Thanks to a promise from a tiny farmer and a scent-tracking mox named Gromley, the boys believe they are finally on their way home. But as we have learned over and over again in The Hole Stories, home isn&amp;#39;t the easiest place to get to. And so, a chance encounter with a broken man leads Onus and Twig to a strange town that is hiding two very big secrets. One: the town possesses a magical sand only spoken about in urban legends. And two: the sand, which is used for so much good, has a dark side to it that no one is willing to acknowledge...it is a dark side that may keep Onus and Twig from ever getting home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</g:description>

      <g:title>Fowl, Swine and Things That Send Shivers Down Your Spine</g:title>
      <g:description>&lt;p&gt;Fowl, Swine and Things That Send Shivers Down Your Spine (Paperback Edition)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By Christopher Millin&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(29, 29, 31);"&gt;Fowl, Swine and Things That Send Shivers Down Your Spine&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(29, 29, 31);"&gt; picks up right where The King of Arugula left off. Having just saved the town of Arugula, restored Twig&amp;#39;s sight and exposed the sinister William Ernest Fang for the person he really is, Onus and Twig are ready to get home and go to bed. Unfortunately, a run in with a cat named Lemy sends them far off course...so far in fact, they end up in a strange town called Cygnus Monde, where the streets are overrun with hair-stealing swans and the adults are oddly fixated on one thing: a place called Tchaikovsky&amp;#39;s. When Twig catches swan lice and refuses to move because of how uncomfortable his head is, Onus must leave his friend and find a cure. Along the way he finds a pigpen full of kids, a man dressed up like a pack of gum, a shop filled with animals that look like statues, worms the size of jet airplanes and a &amp;quot;next to impossible&amp;quot; truth that puts the &amp;quot;hole&amp;quot; situation in perspective – swan lice and strange residents are the least of Cygnus Monde&amp;#39;s problems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</g:description>

      <g:title>Mr. Pockets: and other unsettling and unbelievable stories</g:title>
      <g:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mr. Pockets: and Other Unsettling and Unbelievable Stories &lt;/strong&gt;(2023) includes ten terrifying, mind-bending, heart-wrenching, hilarious and truly tragic tales about ten particular kids and the totally unfair, totally unsettling, totally unbelievable consequences they face when they are careless, dishonest, snarky, dirty, aloof and arrogant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Garrett Kline is one of the unfortunate children mentioned above. He&amp;#39;s out way past his curfew. But it&amp;#39;s Halloween night, so it&amp;#39;s easy for a kid to lose track of the time. That doesn&amp;#39;t forgive him for the crime, though! He&amp;#39;s sure his parents are going to ground him up and put him in a salt shaker. Little does he know, it&amp;#39;s not his parents he has to worry about. Oh no! It&amp;#39;s Mr. Pockets, who&amp;#39;s waiting in the shadows, just around the corner.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr. Pockets: and other unsettling and unbelievable stories (Paperback Edition)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By Christopher Millin&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</g:description>
