From the creators of Homeland and American Horror Story comes City
1, the chilling finale to the Revolution 19 trilogy. The time has
come to win the cities back from the bots--or die trying.After
finally reuniting at a rebel camp, siblings Nick, Kevin, and Cass
are willing to do anything to stay together--and free their parents
from bot rule. But the leader of the rebel camp has her own ideas.
Cruel and determined, General Clay won't let anything stand in the
way of her plan to destroy the robots and all the brainwashed
humans. This means their parents' lives are at stake, but Nick,
Kevin, and Cass can't desert the rebels when they're so close to
freedom. How far will they go to save the world they believe in?
Agnes knows she loves her home of Red Creek--its quiet, sunny
mornings, its dusty roads, and its God. There, she cares tirelessly
for her younger siblings and follows the town's strict laws. What
she doesn't know is that Red Creek is a cult, controlled by a
madman who calls himself a prophet. Then Agnes meets Danny, an
Outsider boy, and begins to question what is and isn't a sin. Her
younger brother, Ezekiel, will die without the insulin she barters
for once a month, even though medicine is considered outlawed. Is
she a sinner for saving him? Is her sister, Beth, a sinner for
dreaming of the world beyond Red Creek? As the Prophet grows more
dangerous, Agnes realizes she must escape with Ezekiel and leave
everyone else, including Beth, behind. But it isn't safe Outside,
either: A viral pandemic is burning through the population at a
terrifying rate. As Agnes ventures forth, a mysterious connection
grows between her and the Virus, allowing her to heal the infected.
But in a world where faith, miracles, and cruelty have long been
indistinguishable, will Agnes be able to choose between saving her
family and saving the world?
Where is the Doctor? The time travelling Time Lord could be anywhere in time and space in these incredibly detailed intergalactic images. Search through the Weeping Angels, dig through the Daleks and trawl through the Toymaker’s toys to find the Doctor and the TARDIS!

Scott and his gang of techno-hackers barely escaped with their lives when they planted the virus that destroyed Virtual Kombat. Now that the game is gone, they think they're finally safe. But VK creator Vince Power's deadly scheme is far from over. Without a virtual world to host it, there's only one place for the brutal fighting and killing to go. VK will be played in the real world, and Scott's tech skills won't help him now. This is no longer just a game ... Blade Runner meets Mortal Engines in the heart-pounding finale to the Virtual Kombat series. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers aged 9+
Packed with superheroes, supervillains, and epic showdowns between
good and evil, The Unforgettable Logan Foster from debut author
Shawn Peters shows that sometimes being a hero is just about being
yourself. Logan Foster has pretty much given up on the idea of ever
being adopted. It could have something to with his awkward manner,
his photographic memory, or his affection for reciting curious
facts, but whatever the cause, Logan and his "PP's" (prospective
parents) have never clicked. Then everything changes when Gil and
Margie arrive. Although they aren't exactly perfect themselves-Gil
has the punniest sense of humor and Margie's cooking would have
anyone running for the hills-they genuinely seem to care. But it
doesn't take Logan long to notice some very odd things about them.
They are out at all hours, they never seem to eat, and there's a
part of the house that is protected by some pretty elaborate
security. No matter what Logan could have imagined, nothing
prepared him for the truth: His PP's are actually superheroes, and
they're being hunted down by dastardly forces. Logan's found
himself caught in the middle in a massive battle and the very fate
of the world may hang in the balance. Will Logan be able to find a
way to save the day and his new family?

The heartwarming and action-packed illustrated novel exploring what
happens when nature and technology collide.
When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that
she is alone on a remote, wild island. She has no idea how she got
there or what her purpose is - but she knows she needs to survive.
After battling a fierce storm and escaping a vicious bear attack, she
realises that her only hope for survival is to adapt to her
surroundings and learn from the island's unwelcoming animal inhabitants.
As Roz slowly befriends the animals, the island starts to feel like
home - until, one day, her mysterious past comes back to haunt her.
Regina was born and raised in the small town of Heridos, where gods
and spirits walked the earth. Until they didn't. Ten years ago, the
town's harvest failed utterly, and the people---believing the gods
had abandoned them--left their farms and moved on. Now living in
the city, Regina has a strange and disturbing conversation with a
new colleague, Diana. Then, mysteriously, Diana disappears. A few
days later, Regina finds a folded piece of paper in her bag. In
Diana's handwriting are two names and a strange map that will send
Regina back to her home town. In her quest to find Diana, she
encounters rumors of genetic experiments, stumbles upon a strange
facility that no one seems to know about, finds herself in places
that don't exist, and discovers that people aren't who they seem to
be and that the strange evens in her town are closer to home than
she ever knew. Wounded Little Gods is a tale that brings mythology
to a sci-fi thriller that's filled with a sense of place--a place
where gods are in many ways human and point to the ways in which
humans can be inhumane.
