Welcome to the Kingdom, a dazzling fantasy theme park where
"happily ever after" is not just a promise, but a rule. Home to
genetically engineered F.E.S. (formerly extinct species) that roam
the park, the park employs cutting-edge technology to make dreams
come alive. Ana is one of seven beautiful "Fantasists"-half-human,
half-android princesses whose only purpose is to entertain Kingdom
visitors. Counter to her programming, she begins to experience
emotions and feelings . . . even allowing herself to fall in love
for the first time. But the fairy-tale ends when Ana is accused of
murder. Told through court testimony, interrogations, and lush
flashbacks, The Kingdom blends the futuristic appeal of Westworld
with the twists and turns of a true-crime thriller.

Madeleine L'Engle's ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy classic, soon to be a major motion picture.
It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger.
"Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract."
A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem.
A Wrinkle in Time is the winner of the 1963 Newbery Medal. It is the first book in The Time Quintet, which consists of A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time.
A Wrinkle in Time is soon to be a movie (2018) from Disney, directed by Ava DuVernay, starring Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling.

Ethan Randall seemingly has a perfect life. Girls are crazy
about him; all the guys want to be his friend-what more could a
teenage boy want? Ethan has no idea his idyllic life is about to
hit rock bottom.
While on a mission one evening to seek revenge on a rival, Ethan
and his friend, Anthony Williams, are attacked by a gigantic,
wolf-like creature. Although the two boys manage to escape, Ethan
soon lapses into a brief coma of sorts, leading to the eventual
discovery that, whether he likes it or not, he has transformed into
a werewolf. Ethan tries to carry on as if everything is normal, but
when he and his rival get into a fight, Ethan loses control and
kills him. Even worse, three more people die in mysterious wolf
at-tacks. Ethan believes he has no one but himself to blame, but
his best friend, Anthony, wonders if someone else is responsible
for the killings.
In this exciting, suspenseful tale, Ethan must find a way to
protect everyone he cares for before they all end up victims of the
menacing monsters that lurk in the shadows of the night-just
waiting to pounce.

In Sika Longtooth's line of work, the potential for risk is
always present no matter how simple the job. And those risks are
often downwind of him-out of range for even his keen nostrils. As
the young beaver ambles along the trails in the Great Forest, he
has no idea that an evil force lurks in the shadows.
In a time when the world is different and the creatures in the
forest are close to all the mysteries, Sika is suddenly whisked
away from the only life he knows and-to protect his forest-is
forced into battle with a fierce enemy. Used to living within the
predictable and ordinary, Sika now must move from one dangerous
situation to another while in the company of a slow-talking
porcupine, an excitable skunk, and two spirited squirrels. If Sika
is to survive and ultimately save the Great Forest, he must first
endure perils that no beaver has before.
From one unexpected turn of events to the next, an unlikely hero
emerges. Now he must determine who is friend and who is foe- before
the forest disappears forever.
From a three-time Newbery Honor author: Harry Houdini Marco had it
hard enough as a normal clumsy twelve-year-old—but growing wings
made it even worse. Â Except for his unusual name, Harry
Houdini Marco is unremarkable in every way. While his namesake was
the greatest illusionist of all time, Harry can’t even catch a
ball. He is on the verge of a long, boring summer—and he is
dreading every moment of it. Then he meets a mysterious
traveling salesman named Mr. Mazzeeck. But Mr. Mazzeeck is more
than a traveling salesman, he’s a wizard—at least, he claims to
be. Before he leaves town, Mr. Mazzeeck gives Harry a bottle of
magical oil, saying that the potion will give him wings. And to
Harry’s amazement, the oil works: He gets wings! Now he just has
to figure out how to use them. This book features an extended
biography of Zilpha Keatley Snyder.
