'Dazzling storytelling' - Hilary McKay Born with a serious heart
condition, Dara has been waiting for his Big Operation forever, and
this summer it's finally going to happen. The moment his heart is
fixed he'll row out to the island in the bay all by himself just
like he's always dreamed. But when his op is postponed, Dara snaps.
When will he get to live his real life? Maybe the adventures he
dreams of are just silly fantasies. And then he finds a girl hiding
in the boat shed. She wears animal skins. She has a real live pet
wolf. She is, simply, impossible. Could Mothgirl really be from the
Stone Age? And what is she seeking on Lathrin Island? As Dara and
Mothgirl set out on a wild, windswept sea journey Dara begins to
realise that when you stop worrying about what's impossible, you
can do anything. A brave, life-affirming middle-grade timeslip
adventure about finding your family and finding yourself, from the
author of The Wild Way Home.
From the multi award-winning Australian author of 'How to Bee' and
'The Dog Runner', another original and heartfelt middle-grade
fiction adventure, exploring themes of loyalty, resilience, courage
and the environment. Neoma and Jag and their small community are
'living gentle lives' on high ground surrounded by the risen sea
that has caused widespread devastation. When strangers from the
Valley of the Sun arrive unannounced, the friends find themselves
drawn into a web of secrecy and lies that endangers their whole way
of life. Soon, daring, loyal Neoma must set off on a solo mission
across the risen sea, determined to rescue her best friend and find
the truth that will save her village.
THE CUP OF DEATH
Mortals, elves, magicians, and dragons represent both the world's
future and its evil past. Who of them, in this battle of life and
death, will ultimately triumph?
Book One of the Chronicles of the Dragons of the Magi begins
millennia after the Great War, after those who had been placed in
stasis are awakened. Through the labor of the First Seer and the
Five Great Elemental Dragons, a simpler way of life has been
created. The technology that led to worldwide destruction has been
replaced by magic, while the old knowledge remains within the lost
Shelter Cities.
Into this world of the ten island continents, a division between
those who follow the path of life and those who follow death
reemerges. Into this troubling time is born a young Magi, blessed
with powers beyond his eighteen years. As an apprentice
necromancer, he submits to training and tests, and quickly advances
through the Guild's many degrees. But even as his powers grow, who
knows if the young man's magic will prove great enough to defeat
the Evil Alliance.

Enter an immensely powerful and intelligent alien shuttle with
two young friends and find yourself transported to a realm of
wonder and amazement that may challenge nearly everything you have
been led to believe.
Follow Nick and Angie from Boulder, Colorado as they explore
what they believe to be an undiscovered cave but instead find great
danger, from which they can escape only by taking a pathway to the
stars. The way leads the two young adventurers, and Nick's little
dog "Doc," to a fateful rendezvous with a huge Pleiadian Mother
Ship, aboard which they experience wonders beyond anything they
could have imagined, yet also the depths of terror and fear.
Why? To what end? Where will it all lead? Who is behind it, and
what do they want? Unravel the mystery and discover the answers to
these questions and a lot more, that up until now, most humans have
been afraid to ask. -- And perhaps still not quite ready to
face.
Is it fiction, or reality? Is it too much light? Is it too much
truth to take in all at once? At times during the journey, it
certainly seems so. Discover what Earth's leading quantum
physicists already know about our shared inner reality, and how it
relates to the outer universe, in some of the newest and
hardest-hitting Sci-Fi around.
And perhaps, as you embark on your own journey of
self-discovery, learn how your own imagination can take you to
places far more desirable than the "reality" you have been
programmed to accept. If you are ready.
But keep in mind, it's just a story. It's only science
fiction.
This sequel to The Pioneer is perfect for fans of the Illuminae Series and Skyward!
Earth is uninhabitable. Tau is our home now.
With that terrifying message, Jo and her family learned the truth: They are trapped forever on Tau Ceti e.
But the planet’s current occupants—the Sorrow—are not interested in sharing. The fragile peace Jo negotiated abruptly shatters, and soon a bloody battle is raging between the Sorrow and the Pioneers. As tensions rise, the survival of everyone Jo cares for seems less likely by the second.
When a betrayal that shocks Jo to her core threatens to wipe out both Sorrow and human life, Jo must find the strength to speak up once more—and bridge the gaps between all the warring factions—or lose forever the only home left to her.
