In Camp Out Quest, the second book in this fun, magical illustrated
chapter book series from Sam Hay, author of Spy Penguins, a young
girl goes camping with her family and enlists the help of friends

in love with the stray puppy she wants to keep. The Agents of
H.E.A.R.T are at it again! Now that she's gotten her happily ever
after helping out in her family's cafe, Evie has one last wish--to
keep Fudge, the adorable stray puppy she found. Fudge is extra
cute... and extra wiggly... and may have made a mess of the house.
But Evie has a plan. Nothing says family and bonding like camping
in the great outdoors. And with her friends coming too, Operation
Love Fudge will be a piece of cake--or a delicious gooey s'more!
Maybe, she'll bring the magical storybook just in case. In the
second book in this fantastically funny series by Spy Penguins
author, Sam Hay, Evie and her friends return for a chaotic romp
through the forest featuring an easily excitable pup, a fiasco of
fairytale princesses, and the power of teamwork.

Amari and the Night Brothers meets Pokémon in this thrilling start to Graci Kim's brand-new fantasy series where dragons and phoenixes roam the skies of Seoul, meals magically appear based on your mood and dreams literally come to life! Dare to enter a world of secrets and spells, where dragons and phoenixes roam the skies, and your wildest dreams - or your darkest nightmares - come to life before your eyes. . . . Fourteen-year-old Aria Loveridge lives at the Resthaven Home for Dreamslingers, a refuge for children born with genetic mutations that transport them to a powerfully magical realm while they sleep. But this magic can be unpredictable - even deadly. After all, it was only ten years ago when members of the Royal League of Dreamslingers caused the Great Outburst - a tragedy that killed hundreds of people, including Aria's mum. Since then, Aria's dad has become the leading expert on dreamslinger welfare, which means Aria knows exactly what it takes to keep society (and slingers) safe: separation, identification, and most importantly, power suppression. So when the Kingdom of Royal Hanguk - home of the Royal League - opens their dreamslinger trials to teenage slingers from around the world, Aria knows what she must do: join the Trials and take down the League from the inside. But the Trials introduce Aria to a world of wondrous magic and friendship, a world where she finally feels like she belongs. And as dark secrets from the past are revealed - ones that make Aria question her very identity - she becomes even more determined to discover the truth for herself. She just has to survive the Trials first.
