Ben Braver is an ordinary kid. All he wants to do is finish his summer watching awesome TV shows and eating his favorite candy. But when some kid screams for help, Ben, like his favorite comic book heroes, tries to save the day. Let's just say it ends badly. But it does lead him to a secret school where kids with super abilities learn to control their powers. Ben's never had any powers--and never thought he could be special. So when he's offered a spot at the school, Ben realizes this is his chance to become the superhero he's always dreamed of. Packed with black-and-white art and comic strips throughout, The Super Life of Ben Braver is the first book in a hilarious adventure series about the greatness that lies within any middle schooler who dreams big.
Hope Havergale first meets the mysterious teenager Christian Livingston on her seventh birthday when he saves her from plummeting into a cradle of water inside a forbidden forest. As he licks fresh blood droplets from her injured wrist, Hope is spellbound. Seemingly powerless to his charms, Hope has no idea that it will be her destiny to embark on a breathtaking, perilous adventure with this two-hundred year-old vampire. As Hope grows up and inherits an old house in the Florida Keys from her estranged grandmother, she secretly pines for Christian-the man who haunts her dreams. While yearning for his good looks and succulent tin-cinnamon scent, Hope is clueless that it is Christian who fell in love with her when she was just seven. Worse yet, Hope doesn't realize the truth about her own veiled past-that even she isn't fully human. When Christian reappears one day, she falls hard, rousing the monster within her. Somewhere between skin and ink and blood and love, a sinful self-discovery awaits Hope as she becomes entangled in a conflict between civilized and savage vampires. In this seductive tale, bloodlust quickly turns to bloodshed when the arrival of a new danger threatens to destroy both their secret love and surreptitious existence.

George MacDonald is famous for his poignant fairy tales and fantasy novels. He was a great inspiration to many writers of his time including C. S. Lewis, who wrote "Picking up a copy of Phantastes one day at a train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours later, I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." G. K. Chesterton said that The Princess and the Goblin was a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence." His three fantasy novels for children are available here in one volume. They are so strange and dreamlike that adults often enjoy them as much as the children. MacDonald says "For my part, I do not write for children, but for the childlike, whether of five, or fifty, or seventy-five." So whether you are young or just young at heart this is a book that will enthral you with its displays of courage and loyalty, and with the allegories between the fantastic world painted and the spiritual world MacDonald perceives.
