WHAT’S INSIDE?

on a budget

By Melissa EricksonMore Content Now

Toy-buying is fun as long as you can get your hands on the season’s most sought-after playthings. Some of this holiday’s must-have items are mov-ie-based toys that show that Hollywood’s hits have a deep influence on what kids will be playing with in 2015. Here are a few sure-to-be top sellers:

Disney “Frozen” Snow Glow Elsa Doll

Jakks Pacificwalmart.com$34.99Toy-buyers won’t be let-

ting go this holiday season as they reach for Snow Glow Elsa from Disney’s “Frozen.” With a touch of her magical snowflake necklace, Elsa speaks and sings her sig-nature song (featuring the voice of Idina Menzel) and her dress becomes a flurry

of lights. The perfect gift for your favorite toddler, who can sing along with her or re-enact “Frozen” tales.

Lego Fusion Town Master

Legotoyrus.com$34.99The fun of

building goes virtual with Lego’s new Fusion, which is aimed at kids 7-12 and available in three sets: Town Master, Battle Towers and Room Designer. In Town Master kids can build stores, fire stations, pizza places and more, then use a phone or tablet to take a digital picture, import it into the companion game and watch it come to life. Then they’ll need to keep building to keep residents of the town happy, complete missions and play mini-games as they

pop up around the town.

Disney’s Infinity Marvel Super Heroes 2.0 Starter Pack

Disneyamazon.com$74.96The Marvel-themed

sequel to Disney Infinity includes three action fig-ures from “Guardians of the Galaxy” and other popular Marvel Comics films, and a cartoony-style video game that’s aimed at younger players. Place the chip-en-

abled action figure on a special base attached to a gaming console and the character becomes part of the on-screen action. Played alone or with a friend in the same room, it also supports four-player online play with short, combat adventures. Be prepared to buy add-on sets for future play.

H107L X4 Mini RTF RC Quadcopter

Hubsanamazon.com$39.88This ready-to-fly drone is

for the bigger kids or the fun-loving adults on your list.

Be ready to be awed by its performance ability. It’s fast, nimble and goes really high. The X4 features a durable one-piece mainframe body, precision six-axle gyro, a four channel 2.4-ghz remote control and LED lights for night flying. Just be sure to fly responsibly!

Doc McStuffins Get Bet-ter Talking Mobile Clinic

Just Playwalmart.com$44.99Encouraging imaginative

play and creative storytell-ing for ages 3 and up, the Doc McStuffins Get Better

Talking Mobile Cart gives kids everything they need to provide on-the-go care. Kids can let friends know they’re in a hurry with the motion-activated siren that lights up and plays the Doc Mobile song. The cart is equipped with a working ladder to help toys wherever they are. Future doctors can use the light and sound EKG, otoscope and thermometer to give on-site checkups and fix boo-boos with the ban-dage sticker dispenser. They can call in their diagnosis using the working CB and then secure their patients for rolling rescue using the gurney and patient seat.

The weeks before the December holidays are filled with music and book releases sure to please cul-ture lovers of all varieties. Here are a few of the most anticipated titles and their descriptions courtesy of Amazon.com.

BOOKS

“So, Anyway …” by John Cleese

In this rollicking memoir, Cleese takes readers on a grand tour of his ascent in the entertainment world, from his humble beginnings in a sleepy English town and his early comedic days at Cambridge University (with future “Monty Python” part-ner Graham Chapman), to the founding of the landmark comedy troupe that would propel him to worldwide renown. Available Nov. 4.

“Lila” by Marilynne Rob-inson

In this new American clas-sic from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of “Gilead” and “Housekeeping,” one of the greatest novelists of our time returns to the town of Gilead in an unforgettable story of a girlhood lived on the fringes of society in fear, awe and wonder. Revisiting the beloved characters and setting of “Home,” “Lila” is a moving expression of the mysteries of existence that is destined to become an American classic, and is al-ready a National Book Award finalist. Available now.

“Mrs. Bradshaw’s Hand-book” by Terry Pratchett

Subtitled “to travelling upon the Ankh-Morpork & Sto Plains Hygienic Railway,” this beautifully produced gift-sized hardcover with black and white illustra-tions is Pratchett’s guide to the railways of his 40th Discworld novel, “Raising Steam.” Authorized by Mr. Lipwig of the Ankh-Morpork and Sto Plains Hygienic Rail-way himself, Mrs. Georgina Bradshaw’s invaluable guide to the destinations and di-versions of the railway de-serves a place in the luggage of any traveler, or indeed armchair traveler, upon the Disc. Available Nov. 25.

“The Strange Library” by Haruki Murakami

A fantastical illustrated short novel in which a lonely

boy, a mysterious girl and a tormented sheep man plot their escape from the nightmarish library of this internationally acclaimed, best-selling author’s wild imagination. Available Dec. 2.

“Revival” by Stephen King

A dark and electrifying novel about addiction, fa-naticism and what might exist on the other side of life. In a small New England town, over half a century ago, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister. Charles Jacobs, along with his beautiful wife, will trans-form the local church. The men and boys are all a bit in love with Mrs. Jacobs; the women and girls feel the same about Reverend Jacobs — including Jamie’s mother and beloved sister, Claire. When tragedy strikes the Jacobs family, this char-ismatic preacher curses God, mocks all religious belief and is banished from the shocked town. Available Nov. 11.

MuSic

“1989” by Taylor SwiftThe seven-time Grammy

winner continues her rise to pop stardom with the her fifth album, “1989,” which she calls her most sonically

cohesive collection. The debut single, “Shake It Off,” was an immediate success, reaching No. 1 on the Bill-board Hot 100. After being released Oct. 27, “1989” is sure to be a hit with Swift’s many fans.

“Sonic Highways” by The Foo Fighters

The Foo Fighters’ eighth album features eight songs that were recorded in some of America’s most iconic studios as the band traveled across the United States. Guest performers include Joan Jett, Rami Jaffee and Rick Nielsen. The making of the album, due Nov. 10, will be accompanied by an

as-yet untitled HBO series documenting the eight-city odyssey during which the record was created.

band’s previously released studio recordings.
