This is the story of Emily's quest; a tale of courage, adventure,
and friendship. Where does the Easter Rabbit live? Is it a boy or a
girl rabbit? Why do we have eggs and how are they delivered to our
homes? Find these answers and more, in Dan Sander's vivid and
dramatic re-telling based on the ancient pagan myths. Emily knows
the Earth is in trouble. She can feel that the seasons are out of
balance. She looks for answers in the human city of ancient Athens
and is dragged through a portal to Earth's Twin World, Annwyn.
Eostra, Mother Spring, saves Emily's life and transforms her into a
snow rabbit. Now Emily's quest begins as she must save the Earth by
restoring harmony to both worlds and embody the symbol of spring
and rebirth. For anyone who has ever wanted to share the original
story of Easter with their children, this book will marvel and
delight both the young and young at heart.

A year after saving the powers of Olympus by defeating Nyx, the
Goddess of Darkness, Daphne is haunted by still-looming threats,
her complicated feelings for the god Apollo, and the promise she
made to the Olympian gods that she would help them again when they
called upon her. When their command finally comes, it is
deceptively simple: secure herself a spot as one of Queen Helen's
guards. A war is coming, and all of Sparta must be prepared. In the
midst of a treaty summit among the monarchs of Greece, Daphne and
Helen uncover a plot of betrayal-and soon, a battle begins that
leads to all-out war. As the kingdoms of Greece clash on the shores
of Troy and the gods choose sides, Daphne must use her wits, her
training, and her precarious relationship with Apollo to find a way
to keep her queen safe, stop the war, and uncover the true reason
the gods led her to Troy. But the gods are keeping more than one
secret, and Daphne will be forced to decide how far she is willing
to go to save those she loves-and whose side she's on in a war that
is prophesized to be the downfall of her people.
Percy Jackson isn’t expecting freshman orientation to be any fun. But when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears on campus, followed by demon cheerleaders, things quickly move from bad to diabolical.
In this latest installment of the blockbuster series, time is running out as war between the Olympians and the evil Titan lord Kronos draws near. Even the safe haven of Camp Half-Blood grows more vulnerable by the minute as Kronos’s army prepares to invade its once impenetrable borders. To stop them, Percy and his demigod friends must set out on a quest through the Labyrinth―a sprawling underground world with stunning surprises at every turn. Full of humor and heart-pounding action, this fourth book promises to be their most thrilling adventure yet.
