All Bree wanted was to uncover the truth behind her mother's death.
So she infiltrated the Legendborn Order, a secret society descended
from King Arthur's knights - only to discover her own ancestral
power. Now, Bree has become someone new: A Medium. A Bloodcrafter.
A Scion. But the ancient war between demons and the Order is rising

with, has been kidnapped. When the Regents reveal they will do
whatever it takes to hide the war, Bree and her friends must go on
the run to rescue Nick themselves. But enemies are everywhere,
Bree's own powers are unpredictable and dangerous, and she can't
escape her growing attraction to Selwyn, the mage sworn to protect
Nick until death. If Bree has any hope of saving herself and the
people she loves, she must learn to control her powers from the
ancestors who wielded them first - without losing herself in the
process. Praise for Legendborn: "I love the feeling of a magical
world existing just beneath the surface of our own and this story
gave me everything I wanted: incredible characters, ancient lore
and secret societies - all grounded in our very real, very flawed
world . . ." - Leigh Bardugo, author of Shadow and Bone "Tracy
Deonn's Legendborn braids southern folk traditions and Black Girl
Magic into a searing modern tale of grief, power and
self-discovery." - Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling

Some people think that museums are boring places full of glass
cases, dust and stuff no one cares about: wrong! In a hidden
headquarters below the exhibits there's a gang ready to handle
dangerous, spooky or just plain weird problems: the Museum Mystery
Squad. Techie-genius Nabster, mile-a-minute Kennedy and sharp-eyed
Laurie (along with Colin the hamster!) tackle the surprising
conundrums happening at the museum. From pre-historic creatures
that move and secret Egyptian codes to missing treasure and strange
messages from the past, there's no brain-twisting, totally
improbable puzzle the Squad can't solve. --------------- Strange
lights, eerie sounds -- something spooky is happening at the
museum. The ghostly goings-on centre on a dented Roman helmet.
Could it be haunted? The Squad aren't convinced but what better
place is there for a ghost to hide than in a museum full of
seriously old and rather dead things? -------------------- In the
Case of the Roman Riddle, the Squad investigate ancient treasure,
mystery mosaics and suspicious centurions to try to solve their
latest mystery. Young readers will love the riddles, red herrings
and big reveals jam-packed into this fun-filled series of mystery
stories by Mike Nicholson. The enjoyable extras like wacky facts
and activities, as well as zany illustrations by Mike Phillips,
will keep amateur detectives entertained for hours.
Some secrets just won't stay hidden in this twisty new thriller from
New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Megan Lally!
To Brooke, image is everything. She works hard to maintain perfect
grades, perfect looks, a perfect life―especially after "the incident"
that threatened it all. Getting into her dream university puts her that
much closer to a fresh start. How can she say no to celebrating with
all her classmates?
Hanging out with her crush by the bonfire is the perfect end to the
night. Except it isn't the end. An old truck starts aggressively
tailing Brooke and her best friend on the isolated road toward home.
Someone thinks they know the truth about "the incident," and they won't
stop until it's all out in the open. This terrifying drive is about to
bring out Brooke's worst fears…if she survives it.
