Sixth grade is just out of this world!
Susan Simmons can tell that her new substitute teacher is really
weird. But she doesn't know "how" weird until she catches him
peeling off his face -- and realizes that "Mr. Smith" is really an
alien!
At first no one will believe her except Peter Thompson, the
class brain. When Peter and Susan discover Mr. Smith's horrible
plans for their classmates, they know they have to act fast. Only
they can get rid of their extraterrestrial visitor -- and save the
rest of the sixth-grade class from a fate worse than math
tests!
Young witchlin Filly Tucker has a problem. In order to earn her
wand, she must master her basic spells before her tenth birthday.
In a cozy cottage where she lives with her Grandma-a famous witch
extraordinaire-and her ornery magic cat, Tabasco, Filly struggles
to get even the simplest spell right. One afternoon, as Filly
arrives home from rolling down grassy hills with her friends, she
discovers a large cardboard box outside her front door-waiting to
transport her to the home of the terrible Twissle twins, known for
their unruly, madcap lifestyle and obnoxious spells. As the Twissle
twins rely on their horrid personalities and crazy tricks to create
green meatballs, coax a dozen Canadian geese to soar around the
chandelier, and convince a cat who thinks he is a cowboy to ride
around the room on the back of a flying Dalmatian dog, Filly
realizes she should have paid better attention while learning her
spells. Filly quickly learns that it is up to her to make things
right, but she needs to master her spells first. Only time will
tell if Filly Tucker will ever earn her wand.
While rumors of the Tempest return, the League of Planets and
Kilturian Empire are on the verge of peace. However, during the
peace talks, a high-ranking official is assassinated and Tara is
blamed. The crew face many challenges from both friends and foes
alike while trying to accomplish one objective. The objective is
simply to remain alive.
Once upon a planetoid surrounded by her friends, a girl, Snow
Bright, loved building bots from scraps and odds and ends! Snow
White gets a stellar upgrade in this clever retelling with a truly
inventive heroine. With wit, bravery, and some spare circuit
boards, this Jo will foil the queen, befriend a dragon, and build
herself a celestially happy ending of her own. From the team that
created the acclaimed INTERSTELLAR CINDERELLA and READING BEAUTY
comes another funny and empowering interstellar fairy tale.
Poisonous girls whose kisses will kill. A fateful eating contest
with the devil. Faeries who return to Ironside, searching for love.
A junior prom turned bacchanalia. In twelve short stories, eerie
and brimming with suspense and unexpected humor, Holly Black twists
the fantastical creatures you thought you knew in ways you'll never
expect.
The Raven’s Song alternates between the stories of Phoenix, who
lives in a near-future world impacted by climate change and a
devastating pandemic; and Shelby, one hundred years in the future
in a post-pandemic, post-pollution, post-city world where each
community is exactly three hundred and fifty people sustainably
subsisting on seven hundred hectares. The story of a world that is
beginning to fall apart, and a chance to see it all put back
together, The Raven’s Song is a vision of hope for the future,
seen through the eyes of the young people who will fight for it.

For decades, the southern states have witnessed the relentless
migration of vagabonds from Mexico. They are now found as far north
as the Ozarks of southern Missouri. No one knows why they keep
traveling north, ever northward. Until now. In the tradition of
Charlotte's Web or The Underneath comes the American fantasy,
VAGABONDS, the saga of El Garro's armadillo colony, the scouts and
pioneers who have always been at the forefront of the migration.
Rumors from their original homeland, the jungles far to the south,
indicate that El Garro's colony may be nearing the fabled Faralone
Falls, where they will find the answer to why they have traveled
northward for decades. Galen must leave the comfort of his den and
lead the search party. Accompanying him are Tex, a representative
of the southern clans, Corrie, who is El Garro's daughter, and
Blaze, the barn owl. Galen's quest for answers plays out against
the background of the armadillo colony who has never before
challenged their nomadic way of life. VAGABONDS is an American
fantasy set in the Ozark mountains. Like El Garro's clan, we are a
nation of immigrants, people who have known the sacrifice of
leaving everything behind in hopes of finding a future and a hope
for their families.
