"A dark jewel of a book . . . intoxicating" - Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows
Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal.
As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . .
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brimful of magic and romance.

In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Martin Luther King Jr., the inspiring minister and civil rights
activist. Little Martin grew up in a family of preachers: his dad
was a preacher, his uncle was a preacher, his grandfather was a
preacher... so maybe he'd become a great preacher too. One day, a
friend invited him to play at his house. Martin was shocked when
his mother wouldn't let him in because he was black. That day he
realized there was something terribly unfair going on. Martin
believed that no one should remain silent and accept something if
it's wrong. And he promised himself that - when he grew up - he'd
fight injustice with the most powerful weapon of all: words. This
moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra
facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with
historical photos and a detailed profile of the inspiring
activist's life. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling series
of books and educational games that explore the lives of
outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and

It's difficult to be separated from those we love, and sometimes it's
hard to feel connected when we can't be together in person.
This board book helps fill that need to connect, with a simple message:
I'm still here, even though I'm not right there beside you. A series of
scenarios depicts a narrator employing various forms of
communication—from video calls and letters to dolphin-messengers and
skywriting—to say a simple "hello" to someone far away.
Exploring the idea of connecting over distance, whether it's through a
pane of glass or across a continent, this book delivers its earnest
message in a lighthearted way, engaging children's imaginations in
thinking of delightful new ways to say "hello." The book will remind
them that they are loved by those they can't always see. Instead of
emphasizing what we can't do when we're apart, this book takes a
positive view and makes a game out of finding new ways we can
communicate.
Reassuring and imaginative, this board book fills a growing need to
reach out and connect with one another.
Hello from Here features:
- Timely Topic: Current events have made distanced greetings
a near-universal fact of life
- Timeless Appeal: There are always circumstances that
separate loved ones, and there is always a need for books that help
bridge that separation
- Encourages Creativity: Imaginative means of communication
are mixed with more typical methods, engaging children in the story and
inviting them to add their own ideas on how to stay connected
