Set in a broken, future England, where gunfights and monsters collide, this is the exciting first title in a phenomenal fantasy teen series by the bestselling children's novelist.
England has been radically changed by a series of catastrophes – large cities have disappeared and London has been replaced by a lagoon. The surviving population exists in fortified towns where they cling to traditional ways, while strangely evolved beasts prowl the wilderness beyond. Conformity is rigidly enforced and those who fall foul of the rules are persecuted: some are killed, others are driven out into the wilds. Only a few fight back – and two of these outlaws, Scarlett McCain and Albert Browne, display an audacity and talent that makes them legends.
A high-octane sticker book with over 10 pages of stickers with which young car enthusiasts can customise a range of supercars.
An eighth grade girl was taken today . . . With this first
sentence, readers are immediately thrust into a fast-paced thriller
that doesn't let up for a moment. In a world not too far removed
from our own, kids are being taken away to special workhouses if
their families exceed the monthly debt limit imposed by the
government. Thirteen-year-old Matt briefly wonders if he might be
next, but quickly dismisses the thought. After all, his parents are
financially responsible, unlike the parents of those other kids. As
long as his parents remain within their limit, the government will
be satisfied and leave them alone. But all it takes is one fatal
visit to the store to push Matt's family over their limit--and to
change his reality forever.
The Thunderbird trilogy is a fast-paced time-traveling fantasy
adventure centered on Noor, a young orphaned Palestinian girl who
starts in the present and must go back in time to get four magical
bird feathers and save the world. In this second installment, Noor
finds herself in the year 1177 in Jerusalem, during the Crusades.
With the help of Sabeeka, Zainab, a girl who has the power to
become invisible, and her local resistance group, Noor must once
again find a feather belonging to the thunderbird before it burns,
in order to prevent the world of the djinn from collapsing into the
human world. Along the way, Noor helps the resistance group save
hundreds of books and manuscripts from being burned. Like the first
book in the Thunderbird trilogy, Book Two combines the magical with
real events from Palestinian history to take the reader on a wild
and adventurous ride through time.

the phenomenal Hunger Games trilogy.
Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games
with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory
won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and
Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves
and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are
rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to
their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is
angry. The Capitol wants revenge.
After the storm of the century rips apart New Orleans,
sixteen-year-old Adele Le Moyne and her father are among the first
to return. Adele wants nothing more than to resume her normal life,
but with the silent city resembling a war zone, a parish-wide
curfew, and mysterious new faces lurking in the abandoned French
Quarter, normal needs a new definition. Strange events-even for New
Orleans-lead Adele to an attic that has been sealed for three
hundred years. The chaos she accidentally unleashes threatens not
only her but also everyone she knows. Caught in a hurricane of
myths and monsters, Adele must untangle a web of magic that weaves
the climbing murder rate back to her own ancestors. But who can you
trust in a city where everyone has secrets and keeping them can
mean life or death? Unless...you're immortal.
Falling in love. Evading the authorities. Chasing the rabbits. Now
high school sophomores, the self-styled "Freaks" are back in class
in quiet Quapaw City, Arkansas. They grapple with the ordinary
challenges of everyday teen life: cliques, cars, and crushes. While
everything appears normal on the surface, looks have rarely been
more deceiving. A secret government task force-fully aware of the
unusual powers the Freaks have acquired-is determined to capture
them. Even as the mysterious Baltar Sterne shares ancient wisdom
and offers hope, a new menace silently emerges in the woods outside
of town. Clever, inexorable, and far more lethal than the Freaks'
first superhuman foe, this traveler from another world possesses
powers that can only be described as godlike. The Freaks and their
town will be tested in horrific ways they are powerless to predict
or even imagine.
