In The Last Mirror on the Left, the second Legendary Alston Boys
mystery from Edgar Award nominee Lamar Giles--now in
paperback--Otto and Sheed must embark on their most dangerous
journey yet, bringing a fugitive to justice in a world that mirrors
their own but has its own rules to play by. Unlike the majority of
Logan County's residents, Missus Nedraw of the Rorrim Mirror
Emporium remembers the time freeze from The Last
Last-Day-of-Summer--and how Otto and Sheed took her mirrors without
permission in order to fix their mess. Usually that's an
unforgivable offense, punishable by a million-year sentence.
However, she's willing to overlook the cousins' misdeeds if they
help her with a problem of her own. One of her worst prisoners has
escaped, and only the Legendary Alston Boys of Logan County can
help bring the fugitive to justice! And don't miss the Legendary
Alston Boys in their next adventure: The Last Chance for Logan
County!

Lula's Aunties want her to be a witch like them. But Lula prefers
to study cookbooks rather than spellbooks (and hates to fly on a
broom). Lula wants to be a famous chef. In desperation, the Aunties
insist she try to make one last potion. Lula secretly adds her
cooking flair and in true witchy fashion creates a brew that
bewitches the entire town, and her Aunties too This fun rhyming
tale transcends the typical Halloween story to appeal to cooks and
"foodies" throughout the year.
Magnolia Bloomgarden is not excited about spending her summer
vacation in Tooth Kingdom working as a fairy for the family
business. She couldn't care less about getting wings, learning to
fly, or sprinkling magic dust, especially because she has to leave
her best friend, Sun, behind. But all of that is about to change
when she realizes Sun's family is being pursued by dark fairies who
need just one thing to survive: teeth.
Magnolia is worried about what will happen to Sun and her family
if she does not warn them that the evil fairies are loose in the
mortal world. But before she can caution them that the fairies have
potentially found a way to open their portal, Magnolia is led to
the Tooth Kingdom by her uncle. There she soon discovers a perfect,
happy world overshadowed by the threat of dark fairies who want
nothing more than to destroy the peaceful kingdom. As the fairies
make their presence known, Magnolia embarks on a dangerous journey
to save both her kingdom and Sun's family from their sinister
clutches.
In this children's fantasy tale, a tooth fairy-in-training must
summon the courage to battle dark forces as a portal slowly opens
and frees what everyone in Tooth Kingdom has always feared.
A Magical Adventure David knew that one should be prepared for
anything when one climbs a mountain, but he never dreamed what he
would find that June morning on the mountain ledge. There stood an
enormous bird, with a head like an eagle, a neck like a swan, and a
scarlet crest. The most astonishing thing was that the bird had an
open book on the ground and was reading from it This was David's
first sight of the fabulous Phoenix and the beginning of a pleasant
and profitable partnership. The Phoenix found a great deal lacking
in David's education-he flunked questions like "How do you tell a
true from a false Unicorn?"-and undertook to supplement it with a
practical education, an education that would be a preparation for
Life. The education had to be combined with offensive and defensive
measures against a Scientist who was bent on capturing the Phoenix,
but the two projects together involved exciting and hilarious
adventures for boy and bird. A wonderful read-aloud book,
adventurous and very funny, with much of the magic as well as the
humor of the fantastic.
Baghdad, 927 C.E.
Deep in the heart of the famous House of Wisdom hides a terrible
secret, ready to unleash a destructive force on humanity. But the
truth will be revealed only to those deemed most worthy. As murder
and terror lurk amongst shadows of the Abbasid world, a visitor
from the twenty-first century seeks to tap into its deadly
powers.
There is no stopping Devon Pearson-or so he thinks.
Meanwhile, far into the future, sophomore Jackie Tempo is
finally starting to adjust to life at her new high school after the
disappearance of her parents. As she struggles with her research on
the Golden Age of Islam, she must rely on the wisdom of ancient
books to help her. But when she and an unlikely friend suddenly
find themselves catapulting back into the past, Jackie soon
discovers that the books are not books at all, but instead, portals
to a secret world. With the help of a scholar, a harem woman, and a
jinni, Jackie begins a dangerous journey to uncover the truth and
find her parents.
In the third book in the Jackie Tempo series, a teenager risks
everything-including the fate of humankind-in her quest to find her
way back home.
