A boy who lives every day twice uses his ability to bring down
bullies at his new school in Mike Thayer's humor-filled middle
grade novel, The Double Life of Danny Day. My name is Danny Day,
and I live every day twice. The first time, it's a "discard day."
It's kind of like a practice run. At the end of the day, I go to
bed, wake up, and poof everything gets reset, everything except my
memory, that is. The second time, everything is normal, just like
it is for everyone else. That's when everything counts and my
actions stick. As you could probably guess, "Sticky Day" Danny is
very different from "Discard Day" Danny. When Danny's family moves
across the country, he suddenly has to use his ability for more
than just slacking off and playing video games. Now he's making new
friends, fending off jerks, exposing a ring of cheaters in the
lunchtime video game tournament, and taking down bullies one day at
a time ... or is it two days at a time?

When two young rival journalists find love through a magical connection, they must face the depths of hell to seal their fate forever.
All eighteen-year-old Iris Winnow wants to do is hold her family together. With a brother on the frontline forced to fight on behalf of the Gods now missing, and a mother drowning her sorrows, Iris's best bet is winning the columnist promotion at the Oath Gazette. But when Iris's letters to her brother fall into the wrong hands - that of the handsome but cold Roman Kitt, her rival at the paper - an unlikely magical connection forms.
Expelled into the middle of a mystical war, magical typewriters in tow, can their bond withstand the fight for the fate of mankind and most importantly, love?
An epic enemies-to-lovers fantasy novel filled with hope and heartbreak, and the unparalleled power of love.
