The Cycling Wangdoos is an imaginative, fun-to-read rhyming tale of
a Tibetan racing team who ride on a six-seater bicycle with a wacky
yak on the back. They have a long record of winning races by
working together, until the smallest Wangdoo begins to think he's
pulling more than his fair share of the weight. Find out what
happens when his discontentment quickly spreads through the team
and the Wangdoos' race takes a dangerous turn. When the race is
over, the riders are left with a hard-learned lesson-that teams
work best when everyone does their part. Laugh-out-loud
illustrations bring this delightful story to life.
Don't miss this New York Times bestselling "impossible to put down" (Buzzfeed) novel with deadly stakes, thrilling twists, and juicy secrets—perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying and Knives Out.
Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. The catch? Avery has no idea why—or even who Tobias Hawthorne is.
To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's touch—and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes. Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit billions. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a conwoman, and he's determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfather's last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved.
Caught in a world of wealth and privilege with danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.

Magic Olive Poindexter has big shoes to fill. Her mother was a
professional cheerleader, her father is a retired NBA legend, her
big sister is the new face of the oh-so-glamorous Laker Girls, and
her grandmother was the first black cheerleader ever on Valentine
Middle School's HoneyBee cheer squad. Magic wants nothing more than
to follow in their footsteps. But first, she has to survive Planet
Pom Poms, the summer cheer camp where she'll audition for a spot on
the HoneyBee squad. But with zero athletic ability and a group of
mean girls who have her number, Tragic Magic is a long way from
becoming the toe-touching cheerleader heroine she dreams of being.
Things start to look up when her best friend Cappie joins her at
camp--until Cappie gets bitten by the popularity bug, that is. To
make matters worse, Magic's crushing hard on football star Dallas
Chase. Luckily, Magic's not alone: with the help of a new crew of
fabulous fellow misfits and her Grammy Mae's vintage pom poms by
her side, Tragic Magic might just survive--and even thrive--at
cheer camp.
