A New York Times Bestseller
The Disney Fairies star in a magical all-new early chapter book
series for kids ages 6 to 10--The Never Girls
Kate craves adventure and excitement.
Mia loves dresses, roses, and anything beautiful.
Lainey dreams of talking to animals.
Gabby believes in fairies more than anyone.
In a blink of an eye, these four best friends all get their biggest
wish--they're whisked off to Never Land, home to Tinker Bell and
her fairy friends. The adventure of a lifetime is just beginning
But how will the Never Girls ever get home again?
Mara Dyer doesn't know if she is crazy or haunted--all she knows is
that everyone around her is dying in this suspenseful and "strong,
inventive tale" (Kirkus Reviews)."
Mara Dyer doesn't think life can get any stranger than waking up in
a hospital with no memory of how she got there.
It can.
She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember
that killed her friends and left her mysteriously unharmed.
There is.
She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she
can fall in love.
She's wrong.
After Mara survives the traumatizing accident at the old asylum,
it makes sense that she has issues. She lost her best friend, her
boyfriend, and her boyfriend's sister, and as if that weren't
enough to cope with, her family moves to a new state in order to
give her a fresh start. But that fresh start is quickly filled with
hallucinations--or are they premonitions?--and then corpses, and
the boundary between reality and nightmare is wavering. At school,
there's Noah, a devastatingly handsome charmer who seems determined
to help Mara piece together what's real, what's imagined--and
what's very, very dangerous.
This fast-paced psychological--or is it paranormal?--thriller will
leave you breathless for its sequel, The Evolution of Mara Dyer."
The thrilling, shocking and romantic sequel to the bestselling YA debut FLAWED is finally here. When we embrace all our flaws, that’s when we can finally become PERFECT…
Celestine North lives in a society that demands perfection. After she was branded Flawed by a morality court, Celestine's life has completely fractured – all her freedoms gone.
Since Judge Crevan has declared her the number one threat to the public, she has been a ghost, on the run with the complicated, powerfully attractive Carrick, the only person she can trust. But Celestine has a secret – one that could bring the entire Flawed system crumbling to the ground.
Judge Crevan is gaining the upper hand, and time is running out for Celestine. With tensions building, Celestine must make a choice: save only herself, or risk her life to save all the Flawed. And, most important of all, can she prove that to be human in itself is to be Flawed…?
"If this whole series existed right now, I'd tear through it to the
exclusion of everything else in my life." -Teen Librarian Toolbox
The Davenports are one of the few Black families of immense wealth
and status in a changing United States, their fortune made through
the entrepreneurship of William Davenport, a formerly enslaved man
who founded the Davenport Carriage Company years ago. Olivia, the
beautiful eldest Davenport daughter, is ready to do her duty and
marry. . . until charismatic civil rights leader Washington DeWight
sweeps into town and sparks fly. Her younger sister, Helen, is more
interested in fixing cars than falling in love-unless it's with her
sister's betrothed. Amy-Rose, childhood-friend-turned-maid to the
Davenport sisters, dreams of opening her own business-and marrying
the one man she could never be with, Olivia and Helen's brother,
John. But Olivia's best friend, Ruby, also has her sights set on
John Davenport, though she can't seem to keep his interest . . .
until family pressure has her scheming to win his heart, just as
someone else wins hers. Inspired by the real-life story of the
Patterson family, The Davenports follows four determined and
passionate young Black women as they discover the courage to steer
their own path in life-and love. "Deftly written . . . A dazzling
debut." - Kirkus (starred review) "The perfect read for fans of
escapist historical fiction." -NBC's TODAY

A dazzling debut. Magic-realism blends with Japanese myth and
legend in an original story about grief, memory, time and an
earthquake that shook a nation. There's a catfish under the islands
of Japan and when it rolls the land rises and falls. Sora hates the
catfish whose rolling caused an earthquake so powerful it cracked
time itself. It destroyed her home and took her mother. Now Sora
and her scientist father live close to the zones - the wild and
abandoned places where time runs faster or slower than normal. Sora
is sensitive to the shifts, and her father recruits her help in
exploring these liminal spaces. But it's dangerous there - and as
she strays further inside in search of her mother, she finds that
time distorts, memories fracture and shadows, a glimmer of things
not entirely human, linger. After Sora's father goes missing, she
has no choice but to venture into uncharted spaces within the time
zones to find him, her mother and perhaps even the catfish
itself... Stylish, accomplished and thought-provoking story-telling
explores themes of identity, philosophy, science, ecology, life,
loss and love. For 14+

Little Mermaid? Think again... Deep beneath the sea, off the cold
Irish coast, Gaia is a young mermaid who dreams of freedom from her
controlling father. On her first swim to the surface, she is drawn
towards a human boy. She longs to join his carefree world, but how
much will she have to sacrifice? What will it take for the little
mermaid to find her voice? Hans Christian Andersen's original fairy
tale is reimagined through a searing feminist lens, with the
stunning, scalpel-sharp writing and world building that has won
Louise her legions of devoted fans. A book with the darkest of
undercurrents, full of rage and rallying cries: storytelling at its
most spellbinding.

"A dark jewel of a book . . . intoxicating" - Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows
Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal.
As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . .
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brimful of magic and romance.
