Ann Cameron Books Overview
The Stories Julian Tells
Julian is a quick fibber and a wishful thinker. And he is great at telling stories. He can make people especially his younger brother, Huey believe just about anything. Like the story about the cats that come in the mail. Or the fig leaves that make you grow tall if you eat them off the tree. But some stories can lead to a heap of trouble, and that’s exactly where Julian and Huey end up!
More Stories Julian Tells
Five more stories about Julian who has a big imagination, his little brother Huey and his best friend Gloria. Julian’s funny stories are about frogs who wear shoes, a bet he makes with Gloria, why he wants to learn firefighting, a surprise box and his secret project.
Julian’s Glorious Summer
Bicycles shiny, whizzing, wobbly bicycles scare Julian more than lions or tigers. But how can he tell that to his best friend, Gloria? She can already ride with no hands. So instead of telling the truth, Julian makes up a little fib. And he almost gets away with it until his fib backfires and Julian finds himself in the biggest, most confounding fix ever.
Julian, Secret Agent
Secret agents Julian, Huey, and Gloria are already heroes. They have rescued a dog and saved a toddler from drowning. But what they really want is to nab a real-live bank robber. Just when it looks like they might catch the crook, the police chief steps in. The supersleuths find that they’re the ones who are in trouble-with a capital T!
Julian, Dream Doctor
‘If Julian has not already won readers’ hearts with his earlier exploits, he will here when he tries to find out his father’s secret dream for a birthday present. Surprised at hearing his father mumble ‘two snakes,’ Julian duly catches and presents them, only to discover that snakes are his father’s recurring nightmare. Cameron’s style is elegantly smooth and the characters come alive through easy dialogue and involving action.’ Bulletin, Center for Children’s Books.
The Stories Huey Tells
It isn’t easy being Julian’s younger brother. When Huey has bad dreams, Julian says his are scarier. When Huey wants to study animal tracks, Julian says he’s too young. But Huey isn’t a baby. He’s an adventurer, a chef, a tracker, and a scout. And he’s about to show Julian and the world all that he can do.
More Stories Huey Tells
Huey is good at solving problems. Sometimes his older brother Julian tries to push him around, but Huey knows how to handle him. When Huey gets scared about their father’s smoking, the boys work together to help him quit. But some problems are bigger than Huey or Julian. After a hunt for gold leaves Huey trapped at the bottom of a crumbling mine, he’ll need more than cleverness and bravery and more than Julian to save him.
Gloria’s Way
Gloria is best friends with Julian and his little brother Huey, and she has as much to say as they do. There’s the parrot that ruins the Valentine for her mother; Huey’s dog, who needs to be cured of his squirrel obsession; and what happens when classmate Latisha tricks Gloria, Julian, and Huey but they don’t know until it’s too late! Fans of Ann Cameron’s best selling chapter books about Julian and Huey will love Gloria, too. ‘This is where peace begins in an ordinary neighborhood where children learn to address their problems with the help of wise adults who offer them good counsel while respecting the children enough to let them work out their own solutions…

Gloria Rising

It s only the beginning of fourth grade, and already Gloria has enormous teacher troubles! The Dragon of Doom, a.k.a. Mrs. Yardley, doesn t seem to like Gloria, or anyone else for that matter except for Billy Watkins, the class bully. Things go from bad to worse when Billy gets the whole class in trouble. Then a surprise school visit from Dr. Street reminds Gloria that she knows how to rise above her difficulties.
