Martha and Chip

Practically no knights reside in the kingdom of Crabbapple. And those who do are almost completely useless. This is because the kingdom has been at peace for a long time. But trouble still arises now and then in Crabbapple, and whenever it does, it is up to a troop of intrepid guardians, the White Magi, to take care of things.

Martha is one White Mage who thinks it may be a little too quiet in Crabbapple lately. Aside from chasing rats out of her garden, she hasn't had much to do. Her fears are confirmed when her fellow Mage, Mabel, appears one day with terrible news: the witch Aylis has been capturing the White Magi one-by-one. And now they are the only two left!

Now, Martha may not like rats, but she isn't afraid of any old witch. Unfortunately, Aylis isn't any old witch. She's got dragons and lots of them from small green ground dragons to huge red fire-breathing monsters. Martha will need help to get past them and save the other White Magi. But sometimes the greatest help comes in the smallest packages.

Suitable for young readers, age 9 through 12, Martha and Chip is a fun-filled adventure that shows that even the most humble creatures among us have important gifts to give.
