A Very Old New Story

Kiri knows how to ride a horse, play soccer, and dream big dreams-but she is surprised that she can fly without wings. She lands in a mysterious valley surrounded by mountains, where the stars shine all day, a foreboding river bites its tail, and children play around the clock.

The hermit in the hills calls this place Internity. As Kiri explores its mountains, she also gets to know her inner voice, IVy, who isn't always helpful when they face the giant fig tree and fight the old hag. Kiri rides an alchemical comet back to the valley and meets a loving teacher, who prepares her and two new friends, Samson and Yutta, for their journey back to Earth.

In a library without books, the three friends face mirrors and shadows, and an ancient treasure helps them choose their next life. By the time they cross the big river they know their destiny and who they truly are.

Magical and vividly imagined, "Kiri Chooses A Life" is inspired by a classic tale that dips into images and myths from ancient and current traditions.

Those awaiting their sentence reside in ever decreasing cells, getting smaller each day, until Day 7 and Cell 7, where they hear their fate.

The twelve cousins are transported to a distant world called Al Kiam. Their abilities can bring war or peace to the land, but first they have to get along.

The twelve cousins fight about the old stone teapot Grandpapa brought back from the war in Iraq. Grandpapa says it may be magic; some of the cousins disagree while others believe his claim with all their hearts. While they go through the old ritual explained by Grandpapa, a swirl of light fills the room, followed by a wave of blackness.

As the darkness changed to light, the twelve cousins realize they are in a different world: the world of Al Kiam. What's more, each cousin has acquired a strange, unique power, the purpose of which is unknown to them. They soon learn they are surrounded by an ancient battle that threatens to tear the world of Al Kiam apart-unless they do something about it.

No matter how much these cousins may love each other, they don't always agree. Deciding what they must do-fight the good fight or quickly find a way home-could tear them apart. With the fate of a world in their hands, however, the twelve cousins must learn to use their powers as one and solve the riddles of Al Kiam. By harnessing their newfound powers, they may become heroes.

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?
