The epic second book in the action-packed and empowering
middle-grade superhero series. Perfect for 8+ fans of Percy
Jackson, Amari and the Night Brothers and Black Panther. Soon to be
a feature film with a major streamer! Power bursts through my body,
and I gasp as my hair shoots out like an avenging sword. It slashes
a line through the wooden decking of the walkway. With a deafening
crack, the wood breaks apart, splintering with the force of the
impact. Having uncovered head teacher Dr Doyinbo's hidden agenda
behind the Academy of the Sun, Onyeka and her friends are on the
run. But they've got bigger problems to worry about - they
desperately need to find a way to restore Niyi's Ike superpower and
they need to locate Onyeka's missing parents. When their last safe
house is uncovered, Onyeka turns to the only potential allies they
have left; the Rogues, a group of rebels that have been trying to
expose Dr Doyinbo's lies for years. Joining forces, will the two
groups be able to defeat their shared nemesis, or is there a new
danger on the horizon for the Solari? Praise for Onyeka and the

Once upon a time there was a boy with a wicked tongue... Before
Cardan was a cruel prince or a wicked king, he was a faerie child
with a heart of stone. In this sumptuously illustrated tale, Holly
Black reveals a deeper look into the dramatic life of Elfhame's
enigmatic high king. This tale includes delicious details of life
before The Cruel Prince, an adventure beyond The Queen of Nothing,
and familiar but pivotal moments from The Folk of the Air trilogy,
told wholly from Cardan's perspective. This new instalment in the
Folk of the Air series is a return to the heart-racing romance,
danger, humour and drama that enchanted readers everywhere.
From Raina Telgemeier, the #1 New York Times bestselling, multiple
Eisner Award-winning author of Smile, Drama, and Sisters! Catrina
and her family are moving to the coast of Northern California
because her little sister, Maya, is sick. Cat isn't happy about
leaving her friends for Bahia de la Luna, but Maya has cystic
fibrosis and will benefit from the cool, salty air that blows in
from the sea. As the girls explore their new home, a neighbour lets
them in on a secret: There are ghosts in Bahia de la Luna. Maya is
determined to meet one, but Cat wants nothing to do with them. As
the time of year when ghosts reunite with their loved ones
approaches, Cat must figure out how to put aside her fears for her
sister's sake -- and her own. Raina Telgemeier has masterfully
created a moving and insightful story about the power of family and
friendship, and how it gives us the courage to do what we never
thought possible.
