New York Times bestselling author Faith Erin Hicks says of Lightfall: “Gorgeous artwork and a lovable heroine make Lightfall the series I wish I'd had as a kid.”
In the second installment of the award-winning, critically acclaimed Lightfall series, Bea and Cad continue their quest to stop Kest, the mythic bird who stole the sun. Perfect for middle grade fans of Amulet and Avatar the Last Airbender, Lightfall: Shadow of the Bird is another breathtaking journey into the magical world of Irpa, where epic battles and powerful creatures abound.
After a battle that nearly cost them their lives, Bea and Cad awaken in the hidden settlement of the Arsai, mysterious creatures who can glimpse into the future. The Arsai’s vision paints a dire picture for their planet, as the bird Kest Ke Belenus—now awoken from a restless slumber—threatens to destroy all the Lights of Irpa. Desperate for a solution, Bea and Cad seek out the help of a water spirit known as Lorgon, whose ancient wisdom may help them find a way to take down Kest and save Irpa from utter destruction.
But when their time with Lorgon presents more questions than answers, Bea and Cad must decide what’s more important . . . stopping Kest or uncovering the truth.
The 65-Storey Treehouse is the fifth book in Andy Griffiths and
Terry Denton's wacky treehouse adventures, where the laugh-out-loud
story is told through a combination of text and fantastic
cartoon-style illustrations. Andy and Terry's amazing 65-Storey
Treehouse (it used to be 52 stories, but they keep expanding!) now
has a pet-grooming salon, a birthday room where it's always your
birthday (even when it's not), a room full of exploding eyeballs, a
lollipop shop, a quicksand pit, an ant farm, a time machine ...
which is going to be really, really useful now, since Terry messed
up (again) and the treehouse just FAILED it's safety inspection.
Join Andy and Terry on a whirlwind trip through time as they try to
stop the treehouse from being demolished! Well, what are you
waiting for? Come on up!
