Adventurous little Tashi faces a terrible ogre who is threatening his village in this 12th installment of the Tashi series. As he endeavors to recover the ogre’s stolen pet from the evil Baron and protect his village from being eaten, Tashi''s tales of derring-do convey themes of bravery, ingenuity, and loyalty.

When Tashi finds poor Ning Jing hiding from her nasty Cousin Bu Li, Tashi thinks up a very spooky plan to scare him right out of the forest, and when two mysterious strangers appear in the village square, Tashi knows the demons are back. Nobody has adventures like Tashi.

There’s no stopping Tashi in his new adventure, where Tashi encounters magic shoes and confronts Uncle Tiki Pu’s sneaky plan at the Emperor’s court. Things are looking great again for Tashi until he visits the fortuneteller, Luk Ahed, who tells him that his 10th birthday will be his last. The next morning, Tashi prepares a lavish meal for the protector of long life and begins the race against time. As always, this story is told in exciting detail that will thrill young readers.

A compilation of seven books featuring the adventures of the cunning and clever Tashi.

Jack''s new friend, Tashi, comes from a faraway land, escaping from a war lord to come to Australia with many imaginative stories to tell.

This book describes the adventures of the cunning and clever Tashi.

Tashi’s life is never dull. In this exciting new quest, Tashi plots with the wife of Chintu the giant to rid the village of his Only Brother--a giant who will eat anything in sight, including the villagers, unless Tashi can stop him. Things go terribly wrong when a stranger appears with a magic flute, but in the face of trouble Tashi acts fast and saves the village from a terrible disaster.

Another enjoyable Tashi book with two stories. In ''Tashi and the Demons'' Tashi makes a clever escape from the demons when they throw him into the Dragon''s Blood Tree. And in the second story Tashi has to face the ferocious River Pirate who has come back for revenge.

That lovable little Tashi has more adventures to recount - this time about Baba Yaga, whose amazing house on chicken legs blows in on a wild storm, and about the time the wicked Baron stole all the hens in the village to sell to the fearsome River Pirate.
