In this powerful new adaptation from visionary director Sally
Cookson, the bestselling novel by Patrick Ness is brought to the
stage to tell the stunning story of love, loss and courage anew.
Conor has the same dream every night, ever since his mother first
fell ill, ever since she started the treatments that don't quite
seem to be working. But tonight is different. Tonight, when he
wakes, there's a visitor at his window. It's ancient, elemental, a
force of nature. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from
Conor. It wants the truth. The final idea of the late,
award-winning writer Siobhan Dowd, developed into an extraordinary
and heartbreaking novel by Patrick Ness, and now adapted for an Old
Vic production that brings the tale to a new audience.
In the second book in the "Remember the Future" youth series,
Katherine, Trevor and Chryseis embark on a ship and sail to
remnants of the sunken continent of Atland. When a stolen speaking
stone is found in their luggage everybody suspects the three
friends. Suddenly everybody is after the mysterious stone from the
fabled land of Lyonesse and some of the strange sea creatures are
not as amusing as they seem. Then the speaking stone has something
to say...

Magnolia Bloomgarden is not excited about spending her summer
vacation in Tooth Kingdom working as a fairy for the family
business. She couldn't care less about getting wings, learning to
fly, or sprinkling magic dust, especially because she has to leave
her best friend, Sun, behind. But all of that is about to change
when she realizes Sun's family is being pursued by dark fairies who
need just one thing to survive: teeth.
Magnolia is worried about what will happen to Sun and her family
if she does not warn them that the evil fairies are loose in the
mortal world. But before she can caution them that the fairies have
potentially found a way to open their portal, Magnolia is led to
the Tooth Kingdom by her uncle. There she soon discovers a perfect,
happy world overshadowed by the threat of dark fairies who want
nothing more than to destroy the peaceful kingdom. As the fairies
make their presence known, Magnolia embarks on a dangerous journey
to save both her kingdom and Sun's family from their sinister
clutches.
In this children's fantasy tale, a tooth fairy-in-training must
summon the courage to battle dark forces as a portal slowly opens
and frees what everyone in Tooth Kingdom has always feared.
In The Last Mirror on the Left, the second Legendary Alston Boys
mystery from Edgar Award nominee Lamar Giles--now in
paperback--Otto and Sheed must embark on their most dangerous
journey yet, bringing a fugitive to justice in a world that mirrors
their own but has its own rules to play by. Unlike the majority of
Logan County's residents, Missus Nedraw of the Rorrim Mirror
Emporium remembers the time freeze from The Last
Last-Day-of-Summer--and how Otto and Sheed took her mirrors without
permission in order to fix their mess. Usually that's an
unforgivable offense, punishable by a million-year sentence.
However, she's willing to overlook the cousins' misdeeds if they
help her with a problem of her own. One of her worst prisoners has
escaped, and only the Legendary Alston Boys of Logan County can
help bring the fugitive to justice! And don't miss the Legendary
Alston Boys in their next adventure: The Last Chance for Logan
County!

sewage. Yuck Now it's up to Galileo and his friend, the giant
Guinea pig Max, to stop the pigs from being mind-controlled by the

One Angel. One Girl. One Chance. Demons are winning the war between
good and evil as they continue to kill guardian angels. The ripple
effect is causing humans the world over to descend into a war of
their own without their heavenly protectors. One of the last angels
falls to earth in an attempt to gather the remaining few humans so
they can unite in the final battle. What he didn't expect to find
was the intriguing girl who helps and captivates him while solving
the ancient riddle that can save both worlds. Finding a forbidden
love in a hopeless place, they put everything on the line as they
hold on to their faith in each other. They must find the courage to
continue their quest while the world crumbles around them.
Ten-year-old Keely Rosalie Tucker is a modern-day knight with no
armor. Constantly bullied by a neighbor boy, Keely struggles to
find her place in the world in which she is comforted only by the
stories her Gramms has told her about enchanted, faraway places,
where unicorns, fairies, and angels protect children from life's
everyday pains and dangers. Now all Keely has to do is figure out
how to call them to help her.
Everything changes when her beloved Gramms suddenly dies and
gifts Keely with her aging horse, Mariah-setting the stage for an
adventure. Keely discovers that Mariah can talk, and she soon finds
her way to a hidden valley over the moon and beyond rainbows where
monsters and dragons disturb and invade the peace of mind. Now she
must learn to believe in herself and develop her secret powers in
order to deliver a miracle before it is too late.
In this delightful and charming fantasy tale, a little girl
learns to summon her courage and rely on her imagination as she
opens her heart and mind to the sounds of the possible in a
last-ditch effort to save a friend.
