Erin Hunter's #1 nationally bestselling Warriors series continues
in Warriors: Omen of the Stars-now featuring fierce new art. The
first book in this fourth series, Warriors: Omen of the Stars #1:
The Fourth Apprentice, brings more adventure, intrigue, and
thrilling battles to the epic world of the warrior Clans. It has
been foretold that Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and one other cat will
hold the power of the stars in their paws. Now they must wait for a
sign from StarClan to tell them which of their Clanmates will
complete the prophecy.
This stunning debut captures the grotesque madness of a mystical
under-land, as well as a girl's pangs of first love and
independence. Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and
flowers--precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a
mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to
her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis
Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Alyssa might be
crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now.
When her mother's mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa
learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying
reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted
than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There, Alyssa must pass a series of
tests, including draining an ocean of Alice's tears, waking the
slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix
Alice's mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to
trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy
but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have
dark motives of his own.
Praise for "Splintered: "
STARRED REVIEW
"Fans of dark fantasy, as well as of Carroll's Alice in all her
revisionings (especially Tim Burton's), will find a lot to love in
this compelling and imaginative novel."
--"Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"
"""Alyssa is one of the most unique protagonists I've come across
in a while. Splintered is dark, twisted, entirely riveting, and a
truly romantic tale."
--"USA Today"
"Brilliant, because it is ambitious, inventive, and often
surprising -- a contemporary reworking of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland, '' with a deep bow toward Tim Burton's
2010 film version."
--"The Boston Globe"
"It's a deft, complex metamorphosis of this children's fantasy made
more enticing by competing romantic interests, a psychedelic
setting, and more mad violence than its original."
--"Booklist"
" Protagonist Alyssa...is an original. Howard's visual imagination
is superior. The story's creepiness is intriguing as horror, and
its hypnotic tone and setting, at the intersection of madness and
creativity, should sweep readers down the rabbit hole."
--"Publishers Weekly"
"While readers will delight in such recognizable scenes as Alyssa
drinking from a bottle to shrink, the richly detailed scenes that
stray from the original will entice the imagination. These
adventures are indeed wonderful."
--"BookPage"
"Attention to costume and setting render this a visually rich
read..."
--"Kirkus Reviews"
"Wonderland is filled with much that is not as wonderful as might
be expected, and yet, it is in Wonderland that Alyssa accepts her
true nature. The cover with its swirling tendrils and insects
surrounding Alyssa will surely attract teen readers who will not
disappointed with this magical, edgy tale."
--"Reading Today Online"
"Creepy, descriptive read with a generous dollop of romance."
--"School Library Journal"
Including stories told from Tobias Eaton’s point of view, Four is a companion volume to the internationally bestselling Divergent series that inspired a series of major motion pictures starring Shailene Woodley. This special 10th anniversary edition features beautiful reimagined cover art from award-winning illustrator Victo Ngai.
Readers first encountered Tobias Eaton as ‘Four’ in Divergent, and his voice is an integral part of Allegiant. More of this charismatic character's back story is told from his own perspective in Four: A Divergent Collection. When read together, theses four stories illuminate the defining moments in Tobias Eaton's life.
The first three pieces in this volume follow Tobias's transfer from Abnegation to Dauntless, his Dauntless initiation, and the first clues that a foul plan is brewing in the leadership of two factions. The fourth story, ‘The Traitor,’ runs parallel with the events of Divergent, giving readers a glimpse into the decisions of loyalty – and love – that Tobias makes in the weeks after he meets Tris Prior.
The action-packed conclusion to the MiNRS space adventure series, which
School Library Journal praised for keeping readers "on the edge of
their seats."
We do what we do best. Run. Hide. Survive.
The children of Perses must return to Earth. They defeated Major Kirk
Thatcher on their adopted planet, but his evil plans are still
unfolding. People need to know the truth.
Christopher has a video of Thatcher killing an injured grinder in cold
blood. If they can show that to the people of Earth, they might just
turn the tide. The MiNRs need to bear witness.
A transport ship might get them back home, or it might send them
spinning off into the deepest recesses of space. Is it worth the risk?
Cracks begin to appear in the group. Darcy refuses to leave Perses, the
only home she's ever known. And Pavel's mistrust of the grinders
threatens to destroy them all.
Once again, Christopher has to make tough choices, choices that will
cost them dearly. And even when things seem to be going well, there are
hidden dangers. A strange noise on their transport ship signals the
return of their worst nightmare. And the Earth they left years before
is not the Earth they will return to now.
Can Christopher and his friends win the race to reveal the truth? Or
will they escape one dangerous planet for one far worse?
The funny classic middle grade book about a boy who accidentally
hatches a dragon. Sixth grader Jeremy Thatcher discovers a strange
magic shop he has never seen before. He enters, and his life is
changed forever. After he leaves Mr. Elives' magic shop with a
strange marbled egg, it soon becomes clear that this is one pet he
wasn't prepared for! How is he supposed to keep a flame-breathing
dragon with razor-sharp teeth and an out-of-control appetite in his
bedroom? But if the playful baby dragon is ever to grow up to
become a magnificent beast of myth and legend, it needs Jeremy. And
though he doesn't know it yet, Jeremy needs a dragon. "A funny,
enjoyable, imaginative story whose serious undercurrents lend it
unexpected depth." --Kirkus (starred review)
