In the zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic America where Benny Imura
lives, every teenager must find a job by the time they turn fifteen
or get their rations cut in half. Benny doesn't want to apprentice
as a zombie hunter with his boring older brother Tom, but he has no
choice. He expects a tedious job whacking zoms for cash, but what
he gets is a vocation that will teach him what it means to be
human.
A girl wakes and hears people shouting. Two strangers have forced

inside the giant Library of Doom. The strangers want to release
their evil friends from a pop-up book. Can the Librarian stop them
before the evil prisoners are set free? Join the mysterious
Librarian on another adventure as he fights to save his precious
books from the Library of Doom. Can he save them before they fall
into the hands of people who would use them for evil?
This sweeping YA fantasy romance full of star-crossed love, complex
female friendship, and astrological magic is perfect for fans of
Laini Taylor, Alexandra Bracken, and V.E. Schwab. From the
acclaimed author of The Beholder. Best friends Rora and Claudia
have never felt more like their lives are spiraling out of control.
And when they meet Major and Amir-two boys from one of the secret
cities of the spheres, ruled by the magic of the astrological
signs-they discover they're not alone. There is a disruption in the
harmony between the spheres, and its chaos is spreading. To find
the source of the disharmony, Rora and Claudia will embark on a
whirlwind journey of secrets, romance, and powerful truths-about
themselves, each other, and two long-ago explorers named Dante and
Beatrice, who were among the first to chart this course toward the
stars. Inspired partly by the classic works of Dante Alighieri,
this gorgeous stand-alone contemporary fantasy will captivate
readers of Lore and Star Daughter.
Dinkin Dings is afraid of everything - not just scary things, like
being stuck in a lift with a hungry jaguar, but pretty much totally
everything (apart from the monsters under his bed)! Dinkin has made
a big mistake - he's created an invention of such mind-boggling
anti-everythingness that it's far too terrifying to use and must be
destroyed at once. But before he can get rid of it, the
Anti-Everything Machine is stolen. Can Dinkin and the Frightening
Things find the thief and save themselves from a fate worse than
terror?

with dark spells, hunters with deadly aim, and bakers with ovens
retrofitted for cooking children lurk within these pages. But if

houses and outwitted witches. Come on in. It may be frightening,
it's certainly bloody, and it's definitely not for the faint of
heart. 'Gidwitz manages to balance the grisly violence of the
original Grimms' fairy tales with a wonderful sense of humor and
narrative voice. Check it out!' Rick Riordan 'Unlike any children's
book I've ever read. [It] holds up to multiple readings, like the
classic I think it will turn out to be' New York Times 'An

Instant #1 bestseller! The epic conclusion to the #1 bestselling
Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series by Ransom Riggs. Jacob
and his friends will face deadly enemies and race through history's
most dangerous loops in this thrilling page-turner. The Desolations
of Devil's Acre is the newest installment, and final adventure, in
the beloved Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series. The last
thing Jacob Portman saw before the world went dark was a terrible,
familiar face. Suddenly, he and Noor are back in the place where
everything began-his grandfather's house. Jacob doesn't know how
they escaped from V's loop to find themselves in Florida. But he
does know one thing for certain: Caul has returned. After a narrow
getaway from a blood- thirsty hollow, Jacob and Noor reunite with
Miss Peregrine and the peculiar children in Devil's Acre. The Acre
is being plagued by desolations-weather fronts of ash and blood and
bone-a terrible portent of Caul's amassing army. Risen from the
Library of Souls and more powerful than ever, Caul and his
apocalyptic agenda seem unstoppable. Only one hope remains-deliver
Noor to the meeting place of the seven prophesied ones. If they can

exhausting experience for him! The reader will also spot the scary
apparitions but will recognise that they are not what they seem,
and they also have the last laugh on Lily, who does not notice them
at all.

night, even a terrifying amusement park like HorrorLand might seem
