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.

or gone to a friend's house for an overnight. In fact, Luke has
never had a friend.
Luke is one of the shadow children, a third child forbidden by

now, with a new housing development replacing the woods next to his

Then, one day Luke sees a girl's face in the window of a house
where he knows two other children already live. Finally, he's met a
shadow child like himself. Jen is willing to risk everything to
come out of the shadows -- does Luke dare to become involved in her
dangerous plan? Can he afford not to?
