Jack Sullivan, Quint Baker, June Del Toro, and Dirk Savage are about to have their biggest adventure yet. That’s right–it’s ROAD TRIP TIME!
Now wielding the Midnight Blade, Jack Sullivan and the gang are furiously searching for the villainous Thrull and his skeleton army. The clock is ticking: the enemy has begun constructing the Tower–a portal with the power to bring Rezzoch the Ancient, Destructor of Worlds, to our dimension. Equipped with a crucial clue discovered by June on her Wild Flight, the group does the once-unthinkable: they leave Wakefield behind and embark on an . . . EPIC ROAD TRIP! That means music blasting, kitschy roadside attractions, snacks snacks snacks, dangerous detours, and a slew of zombies and monsters at every turn. But this is no ordinary post-apocalyptic joyride.

"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to
make it come true."
--Richard Bach
Many teenagers feel that high school is one of the most
difficult and confusing times of their life. Life rides a roller
coaster as it hits its fantastic highs and then drops back down to
its unwanted lows. This is natural; it happens to everyone.
Unfortunately, many teenagers feel alone in the world. They wonder
why they were punished and everyone else's life seems to be going
so well.
The collection of poems in "You're not Alone" reflects the pain,
confusion, love, hate, heartbreak, anxiety, and loneliness that all
teenagers go through at one point and time. It reminds them that
they are not rowing the boat by themselves but rather, that they
have an entire crew rowing with them. They are all attempting to
reach a like goal: To make it through their teenage years.
Their wish will come true.

A new colouring book from New York Times bestselling illustrator,
Kerby Rosanes, whose detailed illustrations are loved by adults and
children alike. Mythic World features over 55 mythical creatures
and legends to colour. Showcasing some of the best-known creatures
alongside some you might not have discovered before, each scene
shows them interacting with and morphing out of some of the most
distinctive landscapes in our world today. Warring giants morph out
of The Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, petrified trolls come
back to life in Icelandic rock formations, the Bhutanese Druk
emerges from Mount Everest's cloudy summit and much more. Colour
and discover the classical myths of Ancient Greece and Rome; celtic
folklore from Ireland and Scotland; oriental tales from Japan and
China; and norse sagas from across Scandinavia. Pages at the back
of the book provide a brief introduction to each mythical creature
and explain the inspiration and rationale behind each illustration.
Dawn caught the darkness unaware, the sun springing from behind the
mountains like a rabid cat to devour the moon's sliver. During the
course of the night the temperature about Heartbreak Ridge had
risen to exceed a hundred degrees. Below its western rim the
massive wilderness of Whisperland was hotter still. To the south,
the animals of New Eden had amassed sixty-some-odd deep and over a
kilometer wide. Across from them, the gladiators of the
Fleshstalkers and the Rebel Skys loomed as a formidable challenge.
In the backdrop, Warbird posed his bloodshot eyes to a trio of
figures at the fall line of the plateau-the great roan stallion and
his riders, the human trash who dared interfere with the inevitable
outcome of the epic battle. Galahad felt certain he was on the
threshold of an epiphany, just as he knew that nothing short of one
would save the kingdom.
