This beautiful book explores the beloved writer's achievements as a
storyteller, artist, and naturalist. Beatrix Potter's universe of
characters-Peter Rabbit, Squirrel Nutkin, Jemima Puddleduck-have
delighted audiences for over a century. A creative pioneer and
determined entrepreneur, she combined scientific observation with
imaginative storytelling to create some of the world's best-loved
children's books. This volume showcases Potter's charming
charac-ters against the backdrop of her exquisite botanical
drawings, humorous illustrated letters to friends, Lake District
landscapes, and rarely seen photographs. Beatrix Potter's
endearingly hand-painted world of animals and gardens made her one
of the most celebrated children's book authors of all time, yet
this is but one facet of her creative life. Drawn to the
picturesque English countryside after a London childhood, Potter
had a passion for nature that influenced her many achievements as a
naturalist, artist, storyteller, and later in life as a fervent
conservationist and "gentlewoman" farmer. This book sheds light
upon the connections between her art, entrepreneurial success, and
legacy in preservation.
When Ellie and her class take a field trip to the Crayola Factory
to learn how crayons are made, they are greeted by rooms full of
color and bustling with activity. From mixing pigments to wrapping
and sorting, there are machines and people hard at work at every
turn. There are even magical creatures called color catchers who
travel the world in search of Pacific Blue, Wild Watermelon, and
Sunglow who really steal the show. But it isn't until Ellie
accidentally knocks into some equipment that she and her friends
learn just how limitless the world of color possibilities can be.
Dare Chase doesn't believe in ghosts. But as the host of
Attachments, her brand-new paranormal investigation podcast, she
knows to keep her doubts to herself if she wants to win over
listeners. Her first season's subject is the Arrington Estate - a
sprawling manor rumored to be haunted by the spirit of Atheleen
Bell, who drowned in its lake almost thirty years ago. Dare's more
interested in investigating the suspicious circumstances of
Atheleen's death, which she thinks point to a decades-old murder,
not something supernatural. But Arrington is full of surprises. As
Dare is drawn deeper into the mysteries of the estate, she'll have
to rethink the boundaries of what is possible. Because if something
is lurking in the lake . . . it might not be willing to let her go.
Learn the amazing (and sometimes magical) history of gemstones from
around the world through the corresponding birthstones that
represent each month of the year. Gemstones are among Earth's
rarest and most beautiful creations. They are history's preeminent
symbols of wealth and power. They are valued because they are
beautiful and rare, but also because their beauty is undiminished
with time. The stone that once adorned a king or maharaja, might
today be set in a ring or necklace, and if not destroyed, will
continue to sparkle thousands of years from now. This history only
increases the value of these stones. What better way to teach young
readers about gemstones than by focusing on the different
birthstones that correspond to each month of the year? Everyone
(mostly) knows their birthstone. But do they know the full history
of these stones--where they were mined, how/why they were popular,
or how to best harness a stone's energy to help deal with matters
of friendship, family, and life? Your Birthstone Book will give
readers insight into the powers assigned different bithstones while
exploring their fascinating uses over the course of history.
"This edgy fantasy doesn't just blur boundaries of genre, of gender, of past and present, life and death--it explodes them." --Cinda Williams Chima, New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Realms and The Shattered Realms
Without the dead, she'd be no one.
Odessa is one of Karthia's master necromancers, catering to the kingdom's ruling Dead. Whenever a noble dies, it's Odessa's job to raise them by retrieving their soul from a dreamy and dangerous shadow world called the Deadlands. But there is a cost to being raised: the Dead must remain shrouded. If even a hint of flesh is exposed, a grotesque transformation begins, turning the Dead into terrifying, bloodthirsty Shades.
A dramatic uptick in Shade attacks raises suspicions and fears around the kingdom. Soon, a crushing loss of one of her closest companions leaves Odessa shattered, and reveals a disturbing conspiracy in Karthia: Someone is intentionally creating Shades by tearing shrouds from the Dead--and training them to attack. Odessa is forced to contemplate a terrifying question: What if her magic is the weapon that brings the kingdom to its knees?
Fighting alongside her fellow mages--and a powerful girl as enthralling as she is infuriating--Odessa must untangle the gruesome plot to destroy Karthia before the Shades take everything she loves.
Perfect for fans of Three Dark Crowns and Red Queen, Reign of the Fallen is a gutsy, unpredictable read with a surprising and breathtaking LGBT romance at its core.

Sebastian is one handsome fox - and he really, really loves to take
selfies. But somehow, no matter how camera-ready he is, his
pictures always lack a certain something. And he can't put his paw

take the perfect selfie, dashing from a glamorous red carpet in
Hollywood to the vast expanse of the Grand Canyon. He even zooms to
the Moon! Still, none of Sebastian's photos make him happy. Could
it be that the secret to his special selfie is right where he
started - at home, with his friends?
