A harrowing sci-fi thriller that #1 New York Times bestselling
author Pittacus Lore proclaimed "Powerful and gripping." This bold
and astonishing novel about identity, unnerving connections,
tortured romance, and facing our worst nightmares is made for fans
of Veronica Roth, Stephen King, and Justin Cronin.
The Arclight is the last refuge in a post-apocalyptic world
consumed by terrifying creatures called the Fade. No one crosses
the wall of light that keeps the last human survivors safe. There's
nothing else left and nowhere to go. Or so they thought, until
Marina, a lone teenage girl, stumbles out of the Dark.
Marina doesn't remember who she is, where she came from, or how
she survived. And the Fade want her back. When one of them
infiltrates the compound and recognizes Marina, she begins to
unlock secrets she didn't even know she had. Marina knows she's an
outsider, but she'll do anything to protect those who saved her.
Whether they want her help or not.
Everyone's favorite pranksters are at it again! School's out, and
Miles and Niles are running wild in the woods outside town:
climbing trees, exploring caves, and, yes, pranking. But these
leafy, lazy days of mischief darken when bully Josh Barkin and his
cadets from a nearby kids' boot camp discover the merrymakers-and
vow to destroy them. Are our heroes' sharp minds any match for
these hooligans' hard fists? The latest installment of the witty,
on-target illustrated series is another "fast paced, laugh-out-loud
novel" (School Library Journal) that proves once again that, in the
hands of the powerless, pranks can be tools of justice-plus,
they're funny.
