For decades, the southern states have witnessed the relentless
migration of vagabonds from Mexico. They are now found as far north
as the Ozarks of southern Missouri. No one knows why they keep
traveling north, ever northward. Until now. In the tradition of
Charlotte's Web or The Underneath comes the American fantasy,
VAGABONDS, the saga of El Garro's armadillo colony, the scouts and
pioneers who have always been at the forefront of the migration.
Rumors from their original homeland, the jungles far to the south,
indicate that El Garro's colony may be nearing the fabled Faralone
Falls, where they will find the answer to why they have traveled
northward for decades. Galen must leave the comfort of his den and
lead the search party. Accompanying him are Tex, a representative
of the southern clans, Corrie, who is El Garro's daughter, and
Blaze, the barn owl. Galen's quest for answers plays out against
the background of the armadillo colony who has never before
challenged their nomadic way of life. VAGABONDS is an American
fantasy set in the Ozark mountains. Like El Garro's clan, we are a
nation of immigrants, people who have known the sacrifice of
leaving everything behind in hopes of finding a future and a hope
for their families.
For generations L. Frank Baum's Land of Oz books have captured and
enthralled millions of readers. These stories are as delightful
today as they were the day they were written. In The Patchwork Girl
of Oz you will accompany Ojo the Unlucky on his quest to gather the
five ingredients needed to make the antidote for the Liquid of
Petrifaction to save his aunt and uncle. In Little Wizard Stories
of Oz you will thrill to six short stories with many of your
favorite friends from Oz. And in Tik-Tok of Oz you can travel with
the Shaggy Man as he struggles to rescue his brother from the Nome
King.
New York Times bestselling authors Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller transport you back to the world Buzzfeed compared to Ready Player One in the second book in a new trilogy perfect for fans of HBO’s Westworld.
Simon saved his best friend, Kat, from the clutches of the Company and their high-tech VR gaming experience, Otherworld. But it was at a steep price. Now he, Kat, and their friend Busara are on the run. They know too much. About the Company’s dark secrets. About the real-life consequences of playing Otherworld. And about Kat’s stepfather’s involvement in everything. The group is headed to New Mexico to find Simon’s old roommate, who is a tech genius and possibly the only person who can help them reveal the truth about the Company before it’s too late and the line between what’s real and what’s fantasy is erased…forever.
Once upon a planetoid surrounded by her friends, a girl, Snow
Bright, loved building bots from scraps and odds and ends! Snow
White gets a stellar upgrade in this clever retelling with a truly
inventive heroine. With wit, bravery, and some spare circuit
boards, this Jo will foil the queen, befriend a dragon, and build
herself a celestially happy ending of her own. From the team that

Welcome back to the FAYZ! This is Book 5 in the series that Stephen
King calls a 'driving, torrential narrative'. Night is falling in
the FAYZ. Permanently. The gaiaphage has blotted out the sun and
the barrier that surrounds the town of Perdido Beach is turning
black. It's Sam's worst nightmare. With Astrid still missing and
Edilio and Lana struggling to maintain order, Sam and his followers
need all the courage they can get. As their world descends into
darkness, only real heroes will survive. The GONE series is Lord of
the Flies for the 21st century. In turns breathtaking, harrowing,
and utterly terrifying. Its complex characters and moral dilemmas
will delight fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Maze
Runner. This is dystopian fiction at its best. Have you got all 6
titles in the New York Times bestselling saga: Gone, Hunger, Lies,
Plague, Fear, and Light? 'I am now free to leave the FAYZ, but my
time there was well spent' Stephen King Michael Grant has lived an
exciting, fast-paced life. He moved in with his wife Katherine
Applegate after only 24 hours. He has co-authored over 160 books
but promises that everything he writes is like nothing you've ever
read before! If the Gone series has left you hungry for more from
the dark genius of YA fiction, look out for the BZRK trilogy: BZRK,
BZRK Reloaded, BZRK Apocalypse and the terrifying Messenger of Fear
and its sequel The Tattooed Heart.

An all-consuming story of revenge, redemption and dragons from the
twice Carnegie Medal-winner Patrick Ness.
“On a cold Sunday evening in early 1957, Sarah Dewhurst waited with her
father in the parking lot of the Chevron Gas Station for the dragon
he’d hired to help on the farm.”
This dragon, Kazimir, has more to him than meets the eye. Sarah can’t
help but be curious about him, an animal who supposedly doesn’t have a
soul but is seemingly intent on keeping her safe from the brutal
attentions of Deputy Sheriff Emmett Kelby.
Kazimir knows something she doesn’t. He has arrived at the farm because
of a prophecy. A prophecy that involves a deadly assassin, a cult of
dragon worshippers, two FBI agents – and somehow, Sarah Dewhurst
herself.
From the bestselling author of the Chaos Walking trilogy comes a
heart-stopping story of fanaticism, hope, bravery and impossible second
chances, set in a world on the very brink of its own destruction.
