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.
Cassel comes from a family of curse workers--people who have the
power to change your emotions, your memories, your luck, all by the
slightest touch of their hands. Since curse work is illegal,
they're all criminals. But not Cassel. He hasn't got the magic
touch, so he's an outsider--the straight kid in a crooked
family--as long as you ignore one small detail: He killed his best
friend, Lila. Now he is sleepwalking, propelled into the night by
terrifying dreams about a white cat. He also notices that his
brothers are keeping secrets from him. As Cassel begins to suspect
he's part of one huge con game, he must unravel his past and his
memories. To find out the truth, Cassel will have to outcon the
conmen.

A Magical Adventure David knew that one should be prepared for
anything when one climbs a mountain, but he never dreamed what he
would find that June morning on the mountain ledge. There stood an
enormous bird, with a head like an eagle, a neck like a swan, and a
scarlet crest. The most astonishing thing was that the bird had an
open book on the ground and was reading from it This was David's
first sight of the fabulous Phoenix and the beginning of a pleasant
and profitable partnership. The Phoenix found a great deal lacking
in David's education-he flunked questions like "How do you tell a
true from a false Unicorn?"-and undertook to supplement it with a
practical education, an education that would be a preparation for
Life. The education had to be combined with offensive and defensive
measures against a Scientist who was bent on capturing the Phoenix,
but the two projects together involved exciting and hilarious
adventures for boy and bird. A wonderful read-aloud book,
adventurous and very funny, with much of the magic as well as the
humor of the fantastic.

However, instead of cavemen or a smoking volcano, they encounter an
astonishing lost civilization, meet another time traveller and
learn that they might change the future for the better; but should
they really explore this strange world and who are these ‘Children
of the Moon’? After a dangerous turn of events, the three time
travellers wonder, if their trip wasn’t a big mistake after all.

finally starting to adjust to life at her new high school after the
disappearance of her parents. As she struggles with her research on
the Golden Age of Islam, she must rely on the wisdom of ancient
books to help her. But when she and an unlikely friend suddenly
find themselves catapulting back into the past, Jackie soon
discovers that the books are not books at all, but instead, portals
to a secret world. With the help of a scholar, a harem woman, and a
jinni, Jackie begins a dangerous journey to uncover the truth and
find her parents.
In the third book in the Jackie Tempo series, a teenager risks
everything-including the fate of humankind-in her quest to find her
way back home.
I've been told that the entire continent of Antarctica groaned at
the moment of my birth. The howl tore across glaciers, over
mountains and deep into the ice. Everyone says so. Except for my
father; all he heard was Mother's sobs. Not of pain, but of joy, so
he says. Other than that, the only verifiable fact about the day I
was born is that an iceberg the size of Los Angeles broke free from
the ice shelf, a few miles off the coast. Again, some would have me
believe the fracture took place as I entered the world. But all
that really matters, according to my parents, is that I, Solomon
Ull Vincent, the first child born on Antarctica-the first and only
Antarctican-was born on September 2nd, 1974. If only someone could
have warned me that upon my return to the continent of my birth,
thirteen years later, I would be kidnapped, subjected to tortures
beyond comprehension and forced to fight...and kill. If only
someone had hinted that I'd wind up struggling to survive in a
subterranean world full of ancient warriors, strange creatures and
supernatural powers. Had I been warned, I might have lived a normal
life. The human race might have remained safe. And the fate of the
world might not rest on my shoulders. Had I been warned... This is
my story-the tale of Solomon Ull Vincent-The Last Hunter. This
collected edition of The Antarktos Saga includes all five books in
the series-Descent, Pursuit, Ascent, Lament and Onslaught, as well
as never before seen art and character designs inspired by the
series, an exclusive short story titled "The Children of Antarktos"
and an interview with bestselling author Jeremy Robinson, composed
primarily of questions asked by fans of the series.
