Five Nights at Freddy's fans won't want to miss this pulse-pounding
collection of three novella-length tales that will keep even the
bravest FNAF player up at night... When left in darkness, rage
festers. Years of frustration with his family culminate in a
loathsome vacation for Bob, who plots a sinister prank to frighten
his wife and kids. Matt redirects the residual anger over his many
failed relationships into a video game, and ends up birthing the
horrible consequences. In room 1280 of Heracles Hospital, something
evil is keeping a man alive, a man with gruesome burns all over his
body and an iron will to live. In this fifth volume, Five Nights at
Freddy's creator Scott Cawthon spins three sinister novella-length
stories from different corners of his series' canon, featuring
cover art from fan-favourite artist LadyFiszi. Readers beware: this
collection of terrifying tales is enough to unsettle even the most
hardened Five Nights at Freddy's fans.

From the No.1 New York Times bestselling author of THE DARKEST MINDS comes a high-octane story of power, destiny and redemption. A lifetime ago, Lore Perseous left behind the brutal, opulent world of the Agon families - ancient Greek bloodlines that participate in a merciless game every seven years. A game that is about to begin again ...
For centuries, Zeus has punished the gods with a game called the Agon, which turns them mortal for one week, and at the mercy of being hunted by those with godly ambitions. Only a handful of the original Greek gods remain, the rest replaced by the mortals who killed them and ascended.
After her family's sadistic murder by a rival bloodline, Lore escapes and vows to repay her parents' sacrifice by doing one thing - surviving. For seven years, she has pushed back dark thoughts of revenge against the man responsible for their murder, a man by the name of Wrath who has attained unimaginable power. Except for one week, every seven years. A week that is fast approaching ...
When Lore comes home on the first night of the Agon to find Athena gravely wounded on her doorstep, the goddess offers her an alliance; they have a mutual enemy, after all. But as the world trembles under the force of Wrath - a god with the power to destroy all of humanity - will Lore's decision to bind her fate with Athena's come back to haunt her?

Now a major Nexflix film. A heartbreaking story from Marc Klein
perfect for fans of If I Stay and Five Feet Apart. After bouncing
around in foster homes for most of her childhood,
seventeen-year-old Tessa Jacobs doesn't believe she deserves love -
not from her adoptive parents, and certainly not from anyone at
school. But everything changes when she has a chance encounter with
Skylar, a senior from a neighboring town who's a true romantic.
Their budding relationship quickly leads to the kind of passion you
only see in the movies. As her heart begins to open, Tessa starts
to believe she might be deserving of love after all. When tragedy
strikes, Tessa wakes up alone in a hospital room with no memory of
how she got there. And then she learns the horrifying news: Skylar
is dead. As Tessa searches for answers, Skylar's spirit reaches out
to her from the other side. Desperate to see him one last time,
Tessa must race against the clock to uncover the shocking truth of
their relationship - a truth that might just lead to the afterlife
itself. "This story and Marc had such a big impact on me. Somehow
my heart breaks and swells all at the same time while reading this.
A powerful telling of love and loss." - Joey King, star and
producer of The In Between

Everyone is always shouting at Gus to stop leaning back in his
chair - but does he care? No way! Then sure enough, the chair
falls, he cracks his head and has to spend all summer in bed. Out
of the crack escape his memories, dreams and imagination ... and a
beautiful little butterfly guide. Gus must follow the butterfly to
recapture all he's lost, including that locked box he doesn't seem
to want to touch ... Together they remember fish fingers, snapping
bubble wrap, cracked pink soap and the leaky tap; they go wild,
stomping around in the joy of imagination and happy dreams - but
they can't go any further if Gus won't gather all of his memories.
His butterfly will die unless Gus is ready to hear about his mum
... A delightful and moving exploration of grief and the joy that
makes us human, from the effervescent voice of Laura Dockrill, with
heartwarming full-colour illustrations from Gwen Millward.
Life-affirming and lyrical, this beautiful picture book celebrates
the awesome power of nature, while gently introducing young
children to the concept of life and death. Over the course of a
year, a young child and their dog watch kingfishers by the river
with Grandpa. As spring turns to summer and autumn to winter, the
kingfishers raise a family, while Grandpa teaches his grandchild
about the power of nature and the circle of life. Written in memory
of her father, whose favourite bird was the kingfisher, Anna Wilson
takes readers on a lyrical journey though a year in the life of a
kingfisher family. Stunning illustrations by Sarah Massini bring
the riverbank to life in all its glory, while the powerful
intergenerational bond between grandparent and grandchild shows
that just as spring always follows winter, hope will always return
if you know where to look for it. A positive story about life,
death, and being a part of the natural world.
