Meet Jack Skellington, the spookiest skeleton in Halloweentown.
He's in charge of making Halloween the scariest holiday on earth -
and he's so good at it, it's boring. So when Jack discovers
Christmas town, he decides that the bright lights and twinkly trees
of the festive season are just what Halloween needs
It's a night like any other on board the Icarus. Then, catastrophe
strikes: the massive luxury spaceliner is yanked out of hyperspace
and plummets into the nearest planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver
Merendsen survive. And they seem to be alone.
Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver
comes from nothing, a young war hero who learned long ago that
girls like Lilac are more trouble than they're worth. But with only
each other to rely on, Lilac and Tarver must work together, making
a tortuous journey across the eerie, deserted terrain to seek help.
Then, against all odds, Lilac and Tarver find a strange blessing in
the tragedy that has thrown them into each other's arms. Without
the hope of a future together in their own world, they begin to
wonder-would they be better off staying here forever?
Everything changes when they uncover the truth behind the chilling
whispers that haunt their every step. Lilac and Tarver may find a
way off this planet. But they won't be the same people who landed
on it.
The first in a sweeping science fiction trilogy, "These Broken
Stars" is a timeless love story about hope and survival in the face
of unthinkable odds.

Celebrate the power of differences with this funny and heartwarming children's book about a little girl who faces her fears on the first day of school -- and learns to love what makes her unique.
When Scarlet was born, her parents did the usual counting. Two eyes. One nose. Ten fingers. Ten toes. Also: one long, fluffy, fuzzy, furry tail. That was a surprise.
Born a bit different than expected, Scarlet has always embraced her uniqueness. When she starts preschool, though, she finds it can be a little scary to stand out from the crowd. But with the help of some new friends, Scarlet's infectious enthusiasm has everyone celebrating what makes her special!
Like many ambitious New York City teenagers, Craig Gilner sees
entry into Manhattan's Executive Pre-Professional High School as
the ticket to his future. Determined to succeed at life-which means
getting into the right high school to get into the right college to
get the right job-Craig studies night and day to ace the entrance
exam, and does. That's when things start to get crazy.
At his new school, Craig realizes that he isn't brilliant compared
to the other kids; he's just average, and maybe not even that. He
soon sees his once-perfect future crumbling away. The stress
becomes unbearable and Craig stops eating and sleeping-until, one
night, he nearly kills himself.
Craig's suicidal episode gets him checked into a mental hospital,
where his new neighbors include a transsexual sex addict, a girl
who has scarred her own face with scissors, and the self-elected
President Armelio. There, isolated from the crushing pressures of
school and friends, Craig is finally able to confront the sources
of his anxiety.
Ned Vizzini, who himself spent time in a psychiatric hospital, has
created a remarkably moving tale about the sometimes unexpected
road to happiness. For a novel about depression, it's definitely a
funny story.

Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive.

Now her grandfather is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once was: a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying alive.
