An original YA novel based on the hit Netflix series Outer Banks,
written by New York Times bestselling author Alyssa Sheinmel,
featuring JJ and John B in a brand-new, high-octane adventure-now
in paperbackIt's spring break in the Outer Banks, and the islands
are swarming with rich tourists. The last thing JJ and John B want
to do is spend their week watching Kooks in action, so they plan a
fishing getaway to the notoriously dangerous Frying Pan
Shoals-nicknamed "Graveyard of the Atlantic" for good reason. Turns
out they aren't the only adventure-seekers at sea. Soon after they
set sail, the friends run into the captivating Savannah, who
hitches a ride aboard the HMS Pogue when the weather worsens and
her boyfriend leaves her stranded. As a violent storm sets in, the
three realize the only place to safely ride out the squall is a
creepy, abandoned hotel on the shoals' lighthouse platform. Or is
it abandoned? It doesn't take long for the three teens to realize
they may not be alone. . . .Further complicating the life-or-death
adventure is a mounting attraction between JJ and the secretive
Savannah-the closer JJ gets to her, the more he realizes he's
playing with fire. Even if they get out of the shoals alive, can a
Pogue-Kook romance survive the high-stakes shores of the Outer
Banks?

The seductive and action-packed follow-up to Alex Aster’s instant #1 New York Times, #1 Wall Street Journal, and internationally bestselling novel, Lightlark.
Isla Crown has secured the love of two powerful rulers and broken the curses that plagued the six realms for centuries, but few know the true origins of her powers. Now, in the wake of a crushing betrayal, Isla finds herself hungry for distraction, preferring to frequent Lightlark’s seductive haunts instead of embracing her duties as the newly crowned leader of two separate realms. Worse, her fellow rulers haven’t ceded victory quietly, and there are others in Isla’s midst who don’t believe her ascent to power was earned. As certain death races toward Lightlark and secrets from the past begin to unravel, Isla must weigh her responsibility to her people against the whims of the most dangerous traitor of all: her heart.
Alex Aster’s intricate world expands after the riveting culmination of the Centennial games, delving more deeply into Isla’s memories of her past, as her future hurtles toward two possible fates.
A folktale about being different Hunch was different from everyone
else. He knew it. They knew it. And his arch rival Tax, who was the
best at absolutely everything, never failed to use it against him.
However, nobody knew a surprise was at hand, from the Things that
lurked deep inside the wood. Things so terrible that nobody has
ever been able to describe them!
ALONE
Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is on his way to visit his father
when the single-engine plane in which he is flying crashes.
Suddenly, Brian finds himself alone in the Canadian wilderness with
nothing but a tattered Windbreaker and the hatchet his mother gave
him as a present -- and the dreadful secret that has been tearing
him apart since his parent's divorce. But now Brian has no time for
anger, self pity, or despair -- it will take all his know-how and
determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed, to
survive.
For twenty years Gary Paulsen's award-winning contemporary classic
has been the survival story with which all others are compared.
This new edition, with a reading group guide, will introduce a new
generation of readers to this page-turning, heart-stopping
adventure.
