They killed my mother. They took our magic. They tried to bury us. NOW WE RISE.
Zélie remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. When different clans ruled - Burners igniting flames, Tiders beckoning waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoning forth souls.
But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, anyone with powers was targeted and killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope. Only a few people remain with the power to use magic, and they must remain hidden.
Zélie is one such person. Now she has a chance to bring back magic to her people and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must learn to harness her powers and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Danger lurks in Orïsha, where strange creatures prowl, and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie herself as she struggles to come to terms with the strength of her magic - and her growing feelings for an enemy.
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
and fairytale princesses in a quest to get her stepmother to fall
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.
How far would you go to save your best friend? TO BE BORN OF THE
FOREST IS A GIFT AND A CURSE. Rora is a shifter, as magical as all
those born in the wilderness - and as feared. She uses her
abilities to spy for the king, traveling under different guises and
listening for signs of trouble. When a magical illness surfaces
across the kingdom, Rora uncovers a devastating truth: Finley, the
young prince and her best friend, has caught it. His only hope is
stardust, the rarest of magical elements, found deep in the
wilderness where Rora grew up - and to which she swore never to
return. But for her only friend, Rora will face her past and brave
the dark, magical wood, journeying with her brother and the
obstinate, older prince who insists on coming. Together, they must
survive sentient forests and creatures unknown, battling an ever
changing landscape while escaping human pursuers who want them
dead. With illness gripping the kingdom and war on the horizon,
Finley's is not the only life that hangs in the balance.
It's 200 years since Cinderella found her prince, but the fairytale is over.
Sophia knows the story though, off by heart. Because every girl has to recite it daily, from when she's tiny until the night she's sent to the royal ball for choosing. And every girl knows that she has only one chance. For the lives of those not chosen by a man at the ball . are forfeit.
But Sophia doesn't want to be chosen - she's in love with her best friend, Erin, and hates the idea of being traded like cattle. And when Sophia's night at the ball goes horribly wrong, she must run for her life. Alone and terrified, she finds herself hiding in Cinderella's tomb. And there she meets someone who will show her that she has the power to remake her world .
An electrifying twist on the classic fairytale that will inspire girls to break out of limiting stereotypes and follow their dreams!

Beauty and the Beast. _______________ 'Everything you'd want in a
retelling of a classic fairy tale' - Jodi Picoult 'Absolutely
spellbinding' - Stephanie Garber _______________ Fall in love,

kingdom and its people are barely holding on. Harper's life has
never been easy, but she's learned to be tough enough to survive.
