Though from what I've read from other reviewers, the books and the show aren't all that similar anyway.Lots of High School angst. I'm not sure I would have put my request for it in if I had since I've never watched the show. I did not know when I requested to be entered that it was related to the "Roswell" TV show.

Not surprisingly, half the trouble comes in unraveling Merlin's riddles and helping Teddy use his rhyming magic correctly. With the help of their old pal Teddy (Morgan le Fay's apprentice, last seen in dog form in four earlier Tree House stories), the two "Master Librarians and Magicians of Everyday Magic" must solve the mystery behind a castle full of ghosts and a menacing army of ravens. One wonders why Merlin can't handle this sort of thing himself, but then of course we wouldn't get a chance to see Jack and Annie have another seat-of-the-pants adventure, getting mixed up with shape-shifting magic, armies of birds, a puzzling gem of power, and all sorts of other trouble. In the second of the "Merlin Missions"-hardback additions to Mary Pope Osborne's Magic Tree House series-plucky heroes Jack and Annie must once again must travel back in time to rescue Camelot from looming danger. Uhtred must weigh his oath to the king against the dangerous turning tide of shifting allegiances and deadly power struggles. He wants Uhtred to expel the Viking raiders from London.

He has land, a wife, and two children, and a duty given to him by King Alfred to hold the frontier on the Thames. Uhtred, the dispossessed son of a Northumbrian lord-warrior by instinct, Viking by nature-has finally settled down. The year is 885, and England is at peace, divided between the Danish kingdom to the north and the Saxon kingdom of Wessex in the south.

Here is a quick description and cover image of book Sword Song (The Saxon Stories, #4) written by Bernard Cornwell which was published in 2007-9. Brief Summary of Book: Sword Song (The Saxon Stories, #4) by Bernard Cornwell Hugo was an extremely famous public figure in France and a vocal advocate for many political causes. His novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame was published in 1831, and it was followed by Les Misérables in 1862. Hugo published his first novel in 1823 and, by the 1830s, Hugo was a well-respected poet, playwright, and prose writer. He was devastated by the loss of his eldest daughter Léopoldine, who died in 1843. Hugo had several affairs throughout their marriage, and he traveled extensively with his long-time mistress, Juliette Drouet. Hugo married his childhood friend Adèle Foucher in 1822 and the pair had five children, one of whom died in infancy. However, as he grew older, his views began to change and, by the end of his life, Hugo supported democracy and the idea of a people’s Republic to keep the monarchy in check. As a young man, Hugo took his mother’s side in politics and religion and wrote several pieces of work that showcased his loyalty to the monarchy and the Church. Léopold was an officer in the French army and Hugo and his family travelled throughout Italy and Spain while Hugo was a child. Léopold had been a supporter of Napoleon and the people’s Republic during the French Revolution, which took place in 1789 and in which the French monarchy was deposed, while Sophie was a strict Catholic and Royalist. His parents, Léopold and Sophie, had differing political and religious views. Victor Hugo was born in Franche-Comte, in France, in 1802. |
