When fire rages through their high school, it claims a classmate's life. The town is devastated. Five teens are fraught. The fire destroyed evidence, but it couldn't erase their secrets. A gripping new novel from the bestselling author of This Is Where It Ends.

When Pierce High School burns down, it's called a tragic accident. A student, who should never have been inside at night, is caught by the flames. Her death is awful, but no one could have foreseen it. No one could have prevented it.

At least, that's the official story.

Five teens have very different stories: about the fire that wasn't an accident, the school they wanted destroyed, and Eden, who was trapped inside.

Told through intertwining POV and timelines, each teen has their own secrets to protect, and the truth will shine through the darkness-but only the strong will rise from its ashes.

Marieke Nijkamp lives in the Netherlands and the story takes place in a fictional Colorado town.

- Gripping conversation starter: Addresses meaningful contemporary issues (sexual assault, domestic violence, mental health, independence, etc) within the framework of a suspenseful drama that will have readers on the edge of their seats-and wanting to discuss the story with friends.
- Recipe for success: Ticking clock, multiple points-of-view, intense situations and emotions, diversity of characters-Marieke is known for weaving dramatic, suspenseful survival stories, and this layered, thoughtful treatment makes for a book that will stay with readers long after the last page.
- Opportunity to ignite new readers: Sourcebooks has sold more than ONE
- MILLION UNITS across Marieke's YA publishing. This new book sits more closely to the narrative they crafted in #1 NYT bestselling This Is Where It Ends, which is sure to draw new readers as well as current fans.

In his home world Mowzl is a real mouse; here in the human world he is a toy - but alive, with a heart and feelings. He is found by Pip and LuLu, who are grown-ups, and LuLu makes him a woolen pouch in which he can fly. He talks with wild creatures and is upset to learn that the world is being badly damaged by what humans are doing. In his home world there are no humans to be seen and the world, or "wild web", is healthy. Mowzl needs Pip to write his story to help him remember where he came from and how to get back, and Pip writes everything that happens. When Mowzl meets two children called Billy and Larky, they find that they can understand the wild talk too, but only when they are with the mouse, because of his magic. They are excited to learn from creatures about the wild web, and they want to do something to help. Billy and Larky soon get their friends involved, and they all listen to the stories that Mowzl tells. Gradually, the mystery of what happened to Mowzl before the fog is revealed. The Adventures of Horatio Mowlz is an illustrated children's story that reflects on the impacts human activity is having on the environment, whilst taking readers on an adventure they will not forget.

Salvation Earth. A Sci-Fi. Novel by A. K. Boswell Arran kills his own father to save him from a painful death. Arran is plagued with guilt for a long time. The novel begins with the impression that it is set in medieval times but gradually becomes apparent that it is in the future. A future after world war three. OK, the setting itself is not original, but has been kept close to plausibility rather than outright fantasy. Everything is controlled by four big corporations living in orbit, nation states have gone. The leading characters are a tribe of samurai like warriors living self-sufficiently in a wasteland. A local baron and his bully soldiers, northern warlike tribes and alien descendants. Corporate agents, believed to be gods, coerce northern tribes to steal food and lay waste to the land starting a war. The corporations intend to clear the earth of all life and start again. With the help of a wizard, our hero finds himself in orbit. Nothing is what it seems. But with additional help from an android and robots, he discovers a deeper plot to destroy all humanity. With corporate police, mind influencing thought police, AI computer, an enchanted sword and a fight in a virtual world Arran has his hands full. The sword turns out to be an alien device that inserts a virus into the system. Background. The planet had become almost uninhabitable. The corporations had been building space stations in orbit and evacuated all their people from the surface to continue to expand in space. Planet Earth was left to decay. Many generations later saw the survivors with a medieval economy and low life expectancy due to radiation poisoning. Life as we know it had changed beyond all recognition. The primitive people that we follow discover they have multiple problems. On gaining a foothold on the orbitals, their gains began to be reversed by the Thought Police who could manipulate emotions. No one knew who was on whose side. All communications by corporate leaders based on the moon, were carried out in virtual reality. The purpose of this was to cut time and travel between the stations. The virtual reality was originally constructed because life in space was depressing. They could walk on a green Earth and feel the wind in virtual. This was so popular that all, important conferences were carried out in virtual and a whole world created. Before total control was gained, our hero had to enter the virtual world and defeat the corporate leaders. This was a new and strange world where anything was possible. Giving rise, to a series of unusual events. On the final defeat of the corporations our hero finally discovers an alien threat that had been getting closer and closer. Adventure and surprise. A fast-paced, evocative and imaginative novel following the struggles of a dynamic cast of characters as they navigate an intriguing and well-constructed plot
