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.
George MacDonald is famous for his poignant fairy tales and fantasy
novels. He was a great inspiration to many writers of his time
including C. S. Lewis, who wrote "Picking up a copy of Phantastes
one day at a train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours
later, I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." G. K.
Chesterton said that The Princess and the Goblin was a book that
had "made a difference to my whole existence." His three fantasy
novels for children are available here in one volume. They are so
strange and dreamlike that adults often enjoy them as much as the
children. MacDonald says "For my part, I do not write for children,
but for the childlike, whether of five, or fifty, or seventy-five."
So whether you are young or just young at heart this is a book that
will enthral you with its displays of courage and loyalty, and with
the allegories between the fantastic world painted and the
spiritual world MacDonald perceives.
When Bear, a mysterious young man, lands on Blanche and Rose
Brier's doorstep in New York City, the two sisters have conflicting

Brothers Grimm fairytale.

Meet the treacherous Alpheus in this twenty-eighth Goddess Girls
adventure! After the sneaky river god Alpheus takes a precious cup
from a river nymph, it's up to Artemis to get it back! When Alpheus
challenges Artemis to a surprisingly easy bet, with the winner
getting the cup, Artemis thinks it's too good to be true--and
realizes Alpheus will stop at nothing to win. Can Artemis be a hero
to her friends?
Hope Havergale first meets the mysterious teenager Christian
Livingston on her seventh birthday when he saves her from
plummeting into a cradle of water inside a forbidden forest. As he
licks fresh blood droplets from her injured wrist, Hope is
spellbound. Seemingly powerless to his charms, Hope has no idea
that it will be her destiny to embark on a breathtaking, perilous
adventure with this two-hundred year-old vampire.
As Hope grows up and inherits an old house in the Florida Keys
from her estranged grandmother, she secretly pines for
Christian-the man who haunts her dreams. While yearning for his
good looks and succulent tin-cinnamon scent, Hope is clueless that
it is Christian who fell in love with her when she was just seven.
Worse yet, Hope doesn't realize the truth about her own veiled
past-that even she isn't fully human. When Christian reappears one
day, she falls hard, rousing the monster within her. Somewhere
between skin and ink and blood and love, a sinful self-discovery
awaits Hope as she becomes entangled in a conflict between
civilized and savage vampires.
In this seductive tale, bloodlust quickly turns to bloodshed
when the arrival of a new danger threatens to destroy both their
secret love and surreptitious existence.
