A thrilling, multi award-winning, teen ghost story, from a First
Nations Australian author, drawing on the culture and beliefs of
her close-knit community. Stacey and Laney are twins and mirror
images of each other but as different as the sun and the moon.
Stacey wants to go places, do things and be someone different while
Laney just wants to skip school and sneak out of the house to meet
her boyfriend Troy. When Laney doesn't come home one night, the
town assumes she's just doing her normal run-off but Stacey's gut
tells her different. Stacey knows her twin isn't dead - she just
doesn't know where she is; she can see her in her dreams but
doesn't know if she is real or imagined. Holding onto the words her
Nan taught her is one thing but listening to those around you is
another - who will Stacey trust? As the town starts to believe that
Laney is missing for good, can she find her twin in time? 'Part
coming-of-age story, part "Romeo and Juliet" romance, part
speculative fiction, part Aboriginal spiritual revelation, part
mystery - this is a story that is mature on many levels.' ReadPlus

Welcome back to the FAYZ! This is Book 5 in the series that Stephen
King calls a 'driving, torrential narrative'. Night is falling in
the FAYZ. Permanently. The gaiaphage has blotted out the sun and
the barrier that surrounds the town of Perdido Beach is turning
black. It's Sam's worst nightmare. With Astrid still missing and
Edilio and Lana struggling to maintain order, Sam and his followers
need all the courage they can get. As their world descends into
darkness, only real heroes will survive. The GONE series is Lord of
the Flies for the 21st century. In turns breathtaking, harrowing,
and utterly terrifying. Its complex characters and moral dilemmas
will delight fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Maze
Runner. This is dystopian fiction at its best. Have you got all 6
titles in the New York Times bestselling saga: Gone, Hunger, Lies,
Plague, Fear, and Light? 'I am now free to leave the FAYZ, but my
time there was well spent' Stephen King Michael Grant has lived an
exciting, fast-paced life. He moved in with his wife Katherine
Applegate after only 24 hours. He has co-authored over 160 books
but promises that everything he writes is like nothing you've ever
read before! If the Gone series has left you hungry for more from
the dark genius of YA fiction, look out for the BZRK trilogy: BZRK,
BZRK Reloaded, BZRK Apocalypse and the terrifying Messenger of Fear
and its sequel The Tattooed Heart.

Last year, Nan's three best friends ventured into the canyons near
their small town and never returned. Now one of them is back, and Nan
can't believe it...because she's the one who killed them. From the New
York Times bestselling author of Wilder Girls comes another dark
thriller about friendship, jealousy, desire, and revenge, with a twist
ending that needs to be talked about.
Nan's story has always been the same. Last summer, she, Luce, Edie, and
Jane took a boat out for one final swim in the river. It was a perfect
summer night.
But the only one who returned that night was Nan. She maintains that
she has no idea what happened to her three friends. The girls went
ahead, and it was as though they disappeared into thin air.
Now, one year later, it's the memorial of that night. All of Saltcedar
has gathered at the river. Nan is even wearing the same clothes she
wore that fateful day last summer. And when Luce climbs out of the
water, no one is more surprised than Nan.
Because Nan killed her. Right before she killed Edie and Jane.
The gang from Woodsword Middle School have re-entered the world of Minecraft, and this time they’re taking the plunge to discover the secrets of the ocean biome. When the friends follow a treasure map, they find their underwater quest ties in perfectly with their new school science project. But trouble quickly threatens to sink them in both worlds!
