It's the ultimate challenge: breaking into the Ivy League.
The hack:
To get one deadbeat, fully unqualified slacker into the most
prestigious school in the country.
The crew:
Eric Roth -- the good guy, the voice of reason.
Max Kim -- the player who made the bet in the first place.
Schwartz -- the kid genius already on the inside...of Harvard,
that is.
Lexi -- the beauty-queen valedictorian who insists on getting in
the game.
The plan:
Use only the most undetectable schemes and techno-brilliant
skills. Don't break the Hacker's Code. Don't get distracted. Don't
get caught. Take down someone who deserves it.
The stakes:
A lot higher than they think.
They've got the players, the plot, and soon -- the prize.
It's go time.

An Alien Stole My Planet is the laugh-out-loud, wacky adventure by
Pooja Puri brilliantly illustrated by Allen Fatimaharan, the third
in the A Dinosaur Ate My Sister series. Before you start reading,
there are a few things you should know: 1. I, Esha Verma, am a
genius inventor extraordinaire. 2. I like lists. 3. I did not mean
to open up an inter-galactic portal. Some things just can't be
helped. Esha Verma, her snotty apprentice Broccoli and his secretly
cunning pet tortoise are on their third wacky adventure - this time
it's an inter-galactic mission through outer-space to stop an alien
abducting their planet! When Esha invents the Invis-Whiz, a device
designed to make the user invisible, she does not expect it to open
a portal to outer space. Esha and her friends are immediately
kidnapped by an alien called Goospa who wants to present the planet
Earth as a golden wedding anniversary gift to his parents. Esha,
Broccoli and Archibald the tortoise have to race back to Earth
before Goospa can complete his teleportation of the planet, and
stop his evil plan once and for all!
Brains are sizzling in the seventh grade...
The first day of seventh grade is probably the worst day of
Duncan Dougal's life. He knows that things are really bad when he
finds an alien's hand in a Dumpster and then gets plugged into an
alien brain fryer!
Can Duncan find out which of the four new teachers in his school
is an alien before his brains get fried to a pulp -- or before the
aliens try to fry the whole planet?

Rafe Khatchadorian is getting the Hollywood treatment in a film
version of Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life starring
Griffin Gluck, Lauren Graham, Rob Riggle and Thomas Barbusca. After
a rough summer, Rafe is heading back to the dreaded Hills Village
Middle School, the site of the very worst years of his life. And as
if that's not bad enough, Rafe's learned that he's going to be held
back a year unless he can prove himself on an outdoor survival
excursion - complete with dangerous white-water rafting, dizzying
rock climbing and military style counsellors. Rafe and the rest of
the pack of 'delinquent' trainees are forced to cooperate as they
prepare for the final test: a solo excursion in the deep woods. Can
Rafe come out of the experience in one piece? And if he does, will
anyone recognise him as the kid they once knew?
Jim Kay's dazzling depiction of J.K. Rowling's wizarding world has won legions of fans since the first Illustrated Edition of the Harry Potter novels was published in hardback in 2015, becoming a bestseller around the world. This irresistible smaller-format paperback edition of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban perfectly pairs J.K. Rowling's storytelling genius with Jim Kay's illustration wizardry, bringing the magic of Harry Potter to new readers with full-colour pictures and a handsome poster pull-out at the back of the book. This edition has been beautifully redesigned with selected illustration highlights, and is packed with breathtaking scenes and unforgettable characters - including Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Professor Trelawney. The fully illustrated edition is still available in hardback.
Fizzing with magic and brimming with humour, this inspired reimagining will captivate wizards and Muggles alike, as Harry, now in his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, faces Dementors, death omens and - of course - danger.
