A boy who lives every day twice uses his ability to bring down
bullies at his new school in Mike Thayer's humor-filled middle
grade novel, The Double Life of Danny Day. My name is Danny Day,
and I live every day twice. The first time, it's a "discard day."
It's kind of like a practice run. At the end of the day, I go to
bed, wake up, and poof everything gets reset, everything except my
memory, that is. The second time, everything is normal, just like
it is for everyone else. That's when everything counts and my
actions stick. As you could probably guess, "Sticky Day" Danny is
very different from "Discard Day" Danny. When Danny's family moves
across the country, he suddenly has to use his ability for more
than just slacking off and playing video games. Now he's making new
friends, fending off jerks, exposing a ring of cheaters in the
lunchtime video game tournament, and taking down bullies one day at
a time ... or is it two days at a time?

newborn Silverwing bat, is sucked down a fissure deep into the
earth. Shade, Griffin's father, soon realizes that his son has been
drawn into the Underworld and embarks on the most dangerous of
journeys to rescue him. Shade knows he must find Griffin quickly --
legend says that if the living stumble into the land of the dead,
they have only a short time before death claims them, too. But
something else is hunting Griffin -- a deadly foe Shade hoped he
would never see again. Who will find Griffin first?

Danyana "Yana" Morneen, the only child of a widowed cobbler, has
always wondered why the forest seems so sad. Dark and lifeless, it
sits on the outskirts of town, never producing the lush greenness
she longs for. As Yana explores the secrets of the forest, she
tries in vain to keep an admirer's advances at bay.
Many women in the village desire Nicolas Vanlock, the wealthy,
handsome son of a local merchant, but he only has eyes for Yana.
For as long as she can remember, Nicolas has been trying to force
himself into her life, and now he desires marriage. But Yana knows
that her destiny does not lie with Nicolas.
As she ventures further into the forest and its secrets, Yana
discovers a lush, hidden estate in the very heart of the woods and
is surrounded by magic she cannot comprehend. Her visits to the
property's garden of roses become more frequent, and she becomes
aware of a presence in the dilapidated old mansion. Nicolas fears
he is losing his true love to another, and he begins a relentless
campaign to claim Yana's heart.
If Nicolas has his way, Yana will never be allowed to enter the
enchanted forest again .
