From the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Darkest Minds comes a sweepingly ambitious, high-octane tale of power, destiny, love, and redemption.
Every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals. They are hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines, all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality.
Long ago, Lore Perseous fled that brutal world, turning her back on the hunt's promises of eternal glory after her family was murdered by a rival line. For years she's pushed away any thought of revenge against the man-now a god-responsible for their deaths.
Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek her out: Castor, a childhood friend Lore believed to be dead, and Athena, one of the last of the original gods, now gravely wounded.
The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and a way to leave the Agon behind forever. But Lore's decision to rejoin the hunt, binding her fate to Athena's, will come at a deadly cost-and it may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees.
Blendin Blandin is searching for the legendary Time Pirates' Treasure, and he needs Dipper and Mabel's help . . . and yours, too! Journey through time and explore the dragon-infested medieval era, the Weird-and-Wild West, and the laser-and-giant-baby-filled future. YOU choose from multiple paths that lead to different wacky adventures! You might end up finding the greatest treasure ever known, or you could send the twins and Blendin into an abyss from which they will never escape! This all-new Select Your Own Choose-Venture time-travel treasure hunt book features thrilling adventures, original artwork, and an exclusive double-sided poster! The book's author, Jeffrey Rowe, wrote episodes of Gravity Falls; Alex Hirsch, the creator of the show, provided additional story for the book; and the book's illustrator, Emmy Cicierega, was a storyboard artist for the show.

Like many ambitious New York City teenagers, Craig Gilner sees
entry into Manhattan's Executive Pre-Professional High School as
the ticket to his future. Determined to succeed at life-which means
getting into the right high school to get into the right college to
get the right job-Craig studies night and day to ace the entrance
exam, and does. That's when things start to get crazy.
At his new school, Craig realizes that he isn't brilliant compared
to the other kids; he's just average, and maybe not even that. He
soon sees his once-perfect future crumbling away. The stress
becomes unbearable and Craig stops eating and sleeping-until, one
night, he nearly kills himself.
Craig's suicidal episode gets him checked into a mental hospital,
where his new neighbors include a transsexual sex addict, a girl
who has scarred her own face with scissors, and the self-elected
President Armelio. There, isolated from the crushing pressures of
school and friends, Craig is finally able to confront the sources
of his anxiety.
Ned Vizzini, who himself spent time in a psychiatric hospital, has
created a remarkably moving tale about the sometimes unexpected
road to happiness. For a novel about depression, it's definitely a
funny story.
Told through flashbacks, foreshadowing, and shifting first-person
points of view, this novel about slavery in America follows young
Emma, who along with readers will discover that every decision has
its consequences, and final judgment is passed down not by man, but
by his maker.
