So if you need and want all three, buy it now! (Sadly, I have two of the three, so this doesn't really work for me...although it's close...)

This is officially a YA title, but I've sure enjoyed the ones I've read...

Titles include:

• Howl's Moving Castle
• Castle in the Air
• House of Many Ways

In Canada it's called the The Land of Ingary Trilogy, and it's been priced at $1.99 since at least the end of June.

A box set of all five Castle Glower books by Jessica Day George is on sale right now for $3.99 at Kindle and Kobo US, and it's discountable at Kobo. So for me, with VIP discount and coupon code "partners" for 40% off, the set comes out to be $2.15. That was worth it for me just for the two titles I still needed.

Titles are:
1. Tuesdays at the Castle
2. Wednesdays in the Tower
3. Thursdays with the Crown
4. Fridays with the Wizards
5. Saturdays at Sea

It's a fun series that still makes you think a little, and I love the ending to the book. Tuesdays is on sale right now for $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US, and discountable at Kobo. George's books don't go on sale very often, or for very long, so grab this one now if you want it! Just be warned that if you want to read the rest of the books in the series, the later titles go on sale even less often than this one...

The 40th anniversary edition of the classic Newbery Medal-winning title by beloved author Katherine Paterson, with brand-new bonus materials including an author's note by Katherine herself and a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Kate DiCamillo.

Jess Aarons has been practicing all summer so he can be the fastest runner in the fifth grade. And he almost is, until the new girl in school, Leslie Burke, outpaces him. The two become fast friends and spend most days in the woods behind Leslie's house, where they invent an enchanted land called Terabithia. One morning, Leslie goes to Terabithia without Jess and a tragedy occurs. It will take the love of his family and the strength that Leslie has given him for Jess to be able to deal with his grief.

Bridge to Terabithia was also named an ALA Notable Children’s Book and has become a touchstone of children’s literature, as have many of Katherine Paterson’s other novels, including The Great Gilly Hopkins and Jacob Have I Loved.

Every year, the people of the Protectorate leave a baby as an offering to the witch who lives in the forest. They hope this sacrifice will keep her from terrorizing their town. But the witch in the Forest, Xan, is kind. She shares her home with a wise Swamp Monster and a Perfectly Tiny Dragon. Xan rescues the children and delivers them to welcoming families on the other side of the forest, nourishing the babies with starlight on the journey.

One year, Xan accidentally feeds a baby moonlight instead of starlight, filling the ordinary child with extraordinary magic. Xan decides she must raise this girl, whom she calls Luna, as her own. As Luna’s thirteenth birthday approaches, her magic begins to emerge--with dangerous consequences. Meanwhile, a young man from the Protectorate is determined to free his people by killing the witch. Deadly birds with uncertain intentions flock nearby. A volcano, quiet for centuries, rumbles just beneath the earth’s surface. And the woman with the Tiger’s heart is on the prowl . . .

The Bronze Bow by Elizabeth George Speare, who also wrote The Witch of Blackbird Pond, was the 1962 Newbery Award winner. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle US right now. Be aware that it definitely has religious (Christian) overtones, if that is a factor (either way) for you.

He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. –from the Song of David (2 Samuel 22:35)

The Bronze Bow, written by Elizabeth George Speare (author of The Witch of Blackbird Pond) won the Newbery Medal in 1962. This gripping, action-packed novel tells the story of eighteen-year-old Daniel bar Jamin—a fierce, hotheaded young man bent on revenging his father’s death by forcing the Romans from his land of Israel. Daniel’s palpable hatred for Romans wanes only when he starts to hear the gentle lessons of the traveling carpenter, Jesus of Nazareth. A fast-paced, suspenseful, vividly wrought tale of friendship, loyalty, the idea of home, community . . . and ultimately, as Jesus says to Daniel on page 224: “Can’t you see, Daniel, it is hate that is the enemy? Not men. Hate does not die with killing. It only springs up a hundredfold. The only thing stronger than hate is love.” A powerful, relevant read in turbulent times.
