Life is about making choices, and Natalie Sterling prides herself
on always making the right ones. She's avoided boys, always topped
her class and is poised to become the first female student council
president in years. But being the good girl isn't always easy. Not
when Natalie's advice hurts more than it helps. Not when a boy she
once dismissed becomes the one she can't stop thinking about. Soon
Natalie's learning that the line between good and bad is fuzzier
than she thought and crossing it could end in disaster . . . or be
the best choice she's ever made.
SPLINTERED BLOODLINES. UNBREAKABLE BARGAINS. A LEGACY OF BETRAYAL.
The powerful sequel to the instant New York Times bestselling and
award-winning Legendborn that's taking TikTok by storm. Perfect for
fans of Cassandra Clare, Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J. Maas and
Cinderella is Dead! The shadows have risen, and the line is law.
All Bree wanted was to uncover the truth behind her mother's death.
So she infiltrated the Legendborn Order, a secret society descended
from King Arthur's knights - only to discover her own ancestral
power. Now, Bree has become someone new: A Medium. A Bloodcrafter.
A Scion. But the ancient war between demons and the Order is rising
to a deadly peak. And Nick, the Legendborn boy Bree fell in love
with, has been kidnapped. When the Regents reveal they will do
whatever it takes to hide the war, Bree and her friends must go on
the run to rescue Nick themselves. But enemies are everywhere,
Bree's own powers are unpredictable and dangerous, and she can't
escape her growing attraction to Selwyn, the mage sworn to protect
Nick until death. If Bree has any hope of saving herself and the
people she loves, she must learn to control her powers from the
ancestors who wielded them first - without losing herself in the
process. Praise for Legendborn: "I love the feeling of a magical
world existing just beneath the surface of our own and this story
gave me everything I wanted: incredible characters, ancient lore
and secret societies - all grounded in our very real, very flawed
world . . ." - Leigh Bardugo, author of Shadow and Bone "Tracy
Deonn's Legendborn braids southern folk traditions and Black Girl
Magic into a searing modern tale of grief, power and
self-discovery." - Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling
author of The Belles

Freddy is certainly not a Teddy, but that won't stop him from being
the star of the Teddy Bears' Picnic in this inspiring story about
inclusion, friendship and staying true to yourself. Freddy is
Jonah's favourite stuffed toy, but no one knows quite what Freddy
is - a funky duck, a peculiar platypus, a punk rock penguin? When
Jonah's teacher announces that they're going to have a Teddy Bears'
Picnic, it seems that if Jonah wants to take Freddy, Freddy will
have to go in disguise! Jonah and Freddy try all of their best
Teddy Bear disguises, but nothing can quite cover up the fact that
Freddy is a little different. What should Jonah do? He loves
Freddy, but should he still take Freddy to the picnic if he doesn't
look like all the other teddies? Find out what happens when Jonah
stands up for himself and for his beloved Freddy in a heart-warming
story that will resonate with any child who has ever felt like
they're a little different. A celebration of inclusivity and being
kind to others, Freddy the Not-Teddy will inspire young readers to
express themselves just as they are!
