Shortlisted for the CILIP Carnegie Medal 2017! Step Aboard - the
Universe is Waiting. The Great Network is a place of drones and
androids, Hive Monks and Station Angels. The place of the thousand
gates, where sentient trains criss-cross the galaxy in a heartbeat.
It is also a place of great dangers - especially for someone who
rides the rails and rides his luck the way Zen Starling does. Once
Zen was just a petty thief, stealing to support his family and
living by his wits. Now everything has changed. Zen is still a
thief - but it could be that the key to the whole universe rests on
finding out what else he is . . .

Harriet, Jack, and Toby are treasure hunters, searching the
Minecraft world for its most valuable hidden secrets. In an
abandoned mineshaft, they discovered the first of three lost
journals that once belonged to William, a legendary explorer who
has gone missing. The journals have taken them on a daring
adventure to a secret temple deep within a desert biome, then into
the perilous depths of the Nether. Now the treasure hunters are
facing their greatest challenge yet. This time, they're certain
they're close to finding William. They find themselves traveling
deep into the ocean and atop the highest mountains, but they just
can't find him anywhere. Is it possible the journals are a hoax? Is
the explorer missing for good? In one last desperate attempt, the
group ventures to the End. But will they survive this last-ditch
effort, or have they finally gone too far? This is the third book
in the new Lost Minecraft Journals series. The chapters of each
book alternate between the journal entries (William's story) and
the story of the treasure hunters. Fans of Minecraft won't want to
miss this wild new adventure. Sky Pony Press, with our Good Books,

Perfect for fans of Tahereh Mafi's New York Times bestselling
Shatter Me trilogy, this book collects her two companion novellas,
Fracture Me and Destroy Me, in print for the first time ever. It
also features an exclusive look into Juliette's journal and a
preview of Ignite Me, the hotly anticipated final novel of the
series.
Destroy Me tells the events between Shatter Me and Unravel Me
from Warner's point of view. Even though Juliette shot him in order
to escape, Warner can't stop thinking about her--and he'll do
anything to get her back. But when the Supreme Commander of The
Reestablishment arrives, he has much different plans for Juliette.
Plans Warner cannot allow.
Fracture Me is told from Adam's perspective and bridges the gap
between Unravel Me and Ignite Me. As the Omega Point rebels prepare
to fight the Sector 45 soldiers, Adam's more focused on the safety
of Juliette, Kenji, and his brother. The Reestablishment will do
anything to crush the resistance . . . including killing everyone
Adam cares about.
The Shatter Me series is perfect for fans who crave
action-packed young adult novels with tantalizing romance like
Divergent and The Hunger Games. This captivating story, which
combines the best of dystopian and paranormal, was praised as "a
thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love"
by Ransom Riggs, bestselling author of Miss Peregrine's Home for
Peculiar Children.

One million cloned soldiers. A nation imprisoned. A group of
neurodiverse rebels fighting back. Britain as we know it lies
destroyed. In the aftermath of the most daring military coup in
history, the surviving population is crammed inside giant Citadels,
watched over by an army of cloned soldiers. The hope of a nation
lies in a tiny number of freedom fighters hidden in the abandoned
countryside - most of whom are teenagers who escaped the attack on
their special school. Seen by many as no more than misfits and
'problem children', this band of fighters could never have imagined
the responsibility that now rests on their shoulders. But perhaps
this war needs a different kind of hero. After a lifetime of being
defined by their weaknesses, the teenagers must learn how to play
to their strengths, and become the best they can be in a world that
has never been on their side.
 The first book in a thrilling series that soars above the
competition and redefines middle-grade fantasy fiction for a new
generation! The seven dragon tribes have been at war for
generations, locked in an endless battle over an ancient, lost
treasure. A secret movement called the Talons of Peace is
determined to bring an end to the fighting, with the help of a
prophecy - a foretelling that calls for great sacrifice. Five
dragonets are collected to fulfil the prophecy, raised in a hidden
cave and enlisted, against their will, to end the terrible war. But
not every dragonet wants a destiny. And when the select five escape
their underground captors to look for their original homes, what
has been unleashed on the dragon world may be far more than the
revolutionary planners intended . . . Â An epic dragon
fantasy series for 9+ readers With fast paced text, this is
guaranteed to hook young readers The Wings of Fire series has been
a New York Times bestseller
From New York Times best-selling author Amy Tintera, a high-stakes
sci-fi adventure about a teen girl who will do anything to escape
her troubled home--even if that means joining a dangerous
monster-fighting squad. Perfect for fans of Warcross and Renegades.
Seventeen-year-old Clara is ready to fight back. Fight back against
her abusive father, fight back against the only life she's ever
known, and most of all, fight back against scrabs, the
earth-dwelling monsters that are currently ravaging the world. So
when an opportunity arises for Clara to join an international
monster-fighting squad, she jumps at the chance. When Clara starts
training with her teammates, however, she realizes what fighting
monsters really means: sore muscles, exhaustion, and worst of all,
death. Scrabs are unpredictable, violent, and terrifying. But as
Clara gains confidence in her battle skills, she starts to realize
scrabs might not be the biggest evil. The true monsters are the
ones you least expect.
