#1 New York Times bestselling author Angeline Boulley takes us back
into the world of Firekeeper's Daughter in this high-stakes mystery
about the power of discovering your stolen history. 16-year-old
Perry Firekeeper-Birch has every intention of quitting her
internship. Being stuck in a museum was never part of her lazy
summer plans, but her no-nonsense Aunt Daunis had other ideas.
Everything changes when Perry meets 'Warrior Girl', a Native
American ancestor whose bones are locked away in the local
university's archives. Perry's rebellious spark becomes a righteous
blaze, and she will do whatever it takes to bring 'Warrior Girl'
home - where she belongs. Taking matters into her own hands, she
plots a daring heist with a bunch of misfits. But this uncovers
much bigger secrets that Perry and her friends must set right -
before their ancestors are lost forever.
A gripping YA thriller from award-winning writer Juno Dawson, with
a dash of romance and intriguing paranormal elements, set in Hollow
Pike - a small town with a big history of witchcraft. Something
wicked this way comes... Lis London thought she'd be safe in the
country, but even in the country she can't escape her own
nightmares. Over and over, she dreams that someone is trying to
kill her. Lis thinks she's being paranoid - after all, who would
want to murder her? She doesn't believe in the local legends of
witchcraft. She doesn't believe that anything bad will really
happen to her. But you never know do, do you? Not until you're
alone in the woods, after dark - and a twig snaps...
A princess, a traitor, a soldier, a hunter and a thief. Five teenagers with the fate of the world in their hands. Five nations destined for conflict.
In Brigant, Princess Catherine prepares for a political marriage arranged by her brutal and ambitious father, while her true love, Ambrose, faces the executioner's block. In Calidor, downtrodden servant March seeks revenge on the prince who betrayed his people. In Pitoria, feckless Edyon steals cheap baubles for cheaper thrills as he drifts from town to town. And in the barren northern territories, thirteen-year-old Tash is running for her life as she plays bait for the gruff demon hunter Gravell.
As alliances shift and shatter, and old certainties are overturned, our five heroes find their past lives transformed and their futures inextricably linked by the unpredictable tides of magic and war. Who will rise and who will fall? And who will claim the ultimate prize?

Her mother is stolen away - by a figure who claims to come from the cruel supernatural world where her grandmother's stories are set.
