The day that Christopher saved a drowning baby griffin from a hidden
lake would change his life forever.
It’s the day he learned about the Archipelago—a cluster of unmapped
islands where magical creatures of every kind have thrived for
thousands of years, until now. And it’s the day he met Mal—a girl on
the run, in desperate need of his help.
Mal and Christopher embark on a wild adventure, racing from island to
island, searching for someone who can explain why the magic is fading
and why magical creatures are suddenly dying. They consult sphinxes,
battle kraken, and negotiate with dragons. But the closer they get to
the dark truth of what’s happening, the clearer it becomes: no one else
can fix this. If the Archipelago is to be saved, Mal and Christopher
will have to do it themselves.
Katherine Rundell’s story crackles and roars with energy and delight.
It is brought vividly to life with more than 60 illustrations,
including a map and a bestiary of magical creatures.
Over a year after her parents sent her away from Hawaii to live with her grandmother in landlocked Nebraska, Makani Young is still adjusting to her new life. She's made a small group of close friends and even flirted with romance, but her past in Hawaii is still hard to forget.
And then . . . one by one the students of her new high school begin to die in a series of gruesome murders. Makani doesn't know who's next on the list. Between this, and a secret scorching relationship with the school weirdo, this school year may turn out to be one to die for . . . literally.
There's Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins will have you swooning with fear and romance, and is the perfect page-turner for fans of Scream Queens and I Know What You Did Last Summer.
