lives in a world ruled by The Order. Inspectors police the

hollow, a person with no soul. She must hide from the Order at all
costs, scraping a living in the shadows. When she's sent to steal a
ring said to hold the memory of a soul's destruction, she is
reunited with her Spark - one of the five parts that make up her
own missing soul. Now she must rely on the help of a young scholar
named Evander Mountebank to track down the other four missing
pieces of her soul, all the while evading The Order. Will she be
able to protect her heart as well as find her soul? The Girl with
no Soul combines a fabulous concept, a swooning love story, and
intoxicating world building in one glorious package. Perfect for
fans of Alice Broadway and Leigh Bardugo Morgan Owen is a bright
new talent in the YA world

A thwarted thespian must use his talents to save his flock from a
woolly situation in this hilarious gem from bestselling children's
author Ross Montgomery. William the lamb just can't stand still.
His feet are always tapping, ready to dance, and he loves nothing
more than bursting into song. But his talents aren't always
appreciated at Sheep School. Cast out of the flock, he wanders
miserably away only to witness the rest of the sheep being captured
by the Big Bad Wolf. Can William find a way to put his artistic
skills to use to save the day?
Author-illustrator June Tate makes her debut with a heartwarming
picture book comparing the seemingly small but tenderly profound
moments hidden in our world. A modern-day classic in the making for
fans of Margaret Wise Brown and William Steig. This extraordinary
book focuses on the everyday moments that slow the world down for
us: a hug from someone we haven't seen in a long time, the soft
spot behind a cat's ear, a ladybug landing on your arm. And in the
end, the answer to the question of what's sweeter rings truest of
all. The perfect gift for occasions ranging from celebrations like
birthdays and graduation to a just-because gift appreciating
someone. Pass this book to the sweetest around you.
Grow your heart three sizes-and dazzle your eyes-with this FULL
COLOR edition of the beloved holiday classic How the Grinch Stole
Christmas!-the perfect gift for under the tree and for Dr. Seuss
fans and collectors any time of year! This season of giving, give a
gift that's never been given before-a full color edition of How the
Grinch Stole Christmas! Originally published in 1957 using just 2
different colored inks (red and black), this new, jacketed edition
features Dr. Seuss's original illustrations in full color for the
very first time-the way he'd have likely colored them had he
published the book today! While this edition is not a replacement
for the original, we think it makes a cheerful addition to the Dr.
Seuss canon that is bound to appeal to Dr. Seuss fans of all ages.
PS: The drabness of the Grinch's life in his cave compared to the
happy, vibrant life of the Whos in Who-ville has never been easier
to see!
