Robot builds a new racing car. But it doesn't seem to work. Robot
and Rico are ready to get this car back on track!
The twelve cousins are transported to a distant world called Al
Kiam. Their abilities can bring war or peace to the land, but first
they have to get along.
The twelve cousins fight about the old stone teapot Grandpapa
brought back from the war in Iraq. Grandpapa says it may be magic;
some of the cousins disagree while others believe his claim with
all their hearts. While they go through the old ritual explained by
Grandpapa, a swirl of light fills the room, followed by a wave of
blackness.
As the darkness changed to light, the twelve cousins realize
they are in a different world: the world of Al Kiam. What's more,
each cousin has acquired a strange, unique power, the purpose of
which is unknown to them. They soon learn they are surrounded by an
ancient battle that threatens to tear the world of Al Kiam
apart-unless they do something about it.
No matter how much these cousins may love each other, they don't
always agree. Deciding what they must do-fight the good fight or
quickly find a way home-could tear them apart. With the fate of a
world in their hands, however, the twelve cousins must learn to use
their powers as one and solve the riddles of Al Kiam. By harnessing
their newfound powers, they may become heroes.

The Alohomora! podcast began five years after the release of the
final Harry Potter book as a way to rediscover the original magic
of the novels. Almost a decade later, the fandom - and the podcast
- is bigger than ever, with more analysis and conversations
happening about the Harry Potter story than ever before. This
second book in the new companion series will help readers discover
new ideas, connections, and secrets embedded throughout Chamber of
Secrets and explore them in a whole new way. For each chapter of
the original text, readers will find information gathered from a
multitude of official sources, including a timeline that puts
everything into an easily envisioned context. Readers will discover
helpful information about characters, events, artefacts, and more.
Insights and analysis drawn from the hosts and guests of the
podcast starts a reader of the companion on their journey of their
own analysis. In addition, there are explorations of popular fan
theories (both those that were popular at the novel’s time of
publication and have been disproved, and those that continue in the
fandom today). Readers will also find connections to
extra-canonical information and other MuggleNet series books, as
well as a QR code that leads to episodes of the podcast to further
the conversation.

Welcome to the Achar, a huge rotating mobius strip encircling a
yellow sun. The Achar is home to hundreds of sentient races,
bizarre monsters, thousands of countries, and the Imrhys, a race of
immortal humans with great magical abilities who believe it is
their responsibility to save the world.
More than three thousand years have passed since the last great
Gnarrhys War, but Lord Zierath and his fellow Imrhys still remember
it. More than half of all the sentients on the Achar died in that
war. Now, rumors of a darkness forming off in the west set Zierath
out on a quest to gather allies, armies, and information before the
darkness envelops them all. Of course, the first trick is to get
out of the tedious administrative duties of ruling a large
confederation of countries. Zierath's solution is simple. Sneak out
of the castle, city, and country before the regent can stop him.
However, if the regent can see into the future, things can get
complicated very quickly.

some winter activities. Will Robot be able to keep up?
He's surrounded by boys who welcome him to the Glade - a walled encampment at the centre of a bizarre and terrible stone maze. Like Thomas, the Gladers don't know why or how they came to be there - or what's happened to the world outside. All they know is that every morning when the walls slide back, they will risk everything - even the Grievers, half-machine, half-animal horror that patrol its corridors, to try and find out.
