Wimpy Kid meets The Walking Dead in this hilarious series packed with monsters and zombies.
The highly-anticipated 6th book of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling series, with over 3 million copies in print!
Jack Sullivan, Quint Baker, June Del Toro, and Dirk Savage are about to have their biggest adventure yet. That’s right–it’s ROAD TRIP TIME!
Now wielding the Midnight Blade, Jack Sullivan and the gang are furiously searching for the villainous Thrull and his skeleton army. The clock is ticking: the enemy has begun constructing the Tower–a portal with the power to bring Rezzoch the Ancient, Destructor of Worlds, to our dimension. Equipped with a crucial clue discovered by June on her Wild Flight, the group does the once-unthinkable: they leave Wakefield behind and embark on an . . . EPIC ROAD TRIP! That means music blasting, kitschy roadside attractions, snacks snacks snacks, dangerous detours, and a slew of zombies and monsters at every turn. But this is no ordinary post-apocalyptic joyride. Because soon, they are pursued by a new threat: the return of a monster they thought long dead, who has taken on a terrifying new form. Jack, June, Quint, and Dirk will be lucky to make it far enough to find the answers they seek. But when the future of the world depends on it, these heroes don’t pump the brakes–they go full throttle.

A captivating, powerful and luminous story from a bestselling,
award-winning author about a mother, a daughter and the great
Greenland shark. Wrapped up in mesmerising illustrations and
presented as a deluxe hardback, this is a perfect gift for the
holiday season, for 9+ fans of Philip Pullman, Sally Gardner and
Frances Hardinge. The shark was beneath my bed, growing large as
the room, large as the lighthouse, rising from unfathomable depths
until it ripped the whole island from its roots. The bed was a
boat, the shark a tide, and it pulled me so far out to sea I was
only a speck, a spot, a mote, a dying star in an unending sky...
Julia has followed her mum and dad to live on a remote island for
the summer - her dad, for work; her mother, on a determined mission
to find the elusive Greenland shark. But when her mother's
obsession threatens to submerge them all, Julia finds herself on an
adventure with dark depths and a lighthouse full of hope... A
beautiful, lyrical, uplifting story about a mother, a daughter, and
love - with timely themes of the importance of science and the
environment.

When Adri is offered an all-expenses-paid trip to the exclusive
Solstice Festival, it feels like the graduation gift of a lifetime!
But when she arrives, she quickly realises it's not
Instagram-ready. There's no water, no food, and no security in
sight - which means there's no one to help when a dead body is
found on the beach. With connections to the festival planners, Adri
gets a front-row seat as everything devolves into chaos - and she's
in a prime position to put together the clues to who - or what - is
killing off the crowd one by one.
In Batman's latest training test, Batgirl and Robin are dropped off

plan for: the Scarecrow's secret house of corn! The villain soon
captures the duo, locking up Robin and forcing Batgirl to assist in
perfecting his new terror toxin. Can the two use their wits to
escape the frightful foe, or will they be stuck in sweet nightmares
forever? In this twisted retelling, DC Super Heroes and
Super-Villains collide with the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale to
create an action-packed chapter book for kids!
