And it's targeting Nina, her beloved sister. Daisy knows that something is up. And that the wise creatures, locked away for so long, are back. And this time, who knows what they want?

A place where, for generations, teenage girls have gone missing in the surrounding mountains. As distance grows between the twins - as Catlin falls in love, and Madeline begins to understand her own nascent witchcraft - Madeline discovers that Ballyfrann is a place full of predators.

"This beautiful tale with gentle illustrations is an ode to the milestone of attending school for the first time and all it entails."-School Library Journal. "A cozy portrait of the everyday discoveries and accomplishments that school can bring."-Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Ming goes to school, where she learns to say hello and good-bye. She meets new friends and introduces them to old friends (including her favorite teddy). She builds sandcastles and makes snow angels; she traces, glitters, and glues. She is so fearless that when held at sword point, she even walks the plank! And when she's playing in the mud, she reaches out and touches the worms with her bare hands. But despite those brave deeds, she isn't quite ready for the big red slide-not yet. This is a very sweet story with soft, evocative watercolor illustrations that will help kids to grow comfortable with the idea of starting preschool. Ming is curious and playful and ready for adventure, but even she gets scared of new things sometimes. Kids will relate to her desires and fears and will be excited to see Ming at the top of the slide by the story's end. A quiet and reassuring picture book for preschoolers (3-5), this is a wonderful going-to-school story that can be read both at home and in the classroom or childcare center. The illustrations provide a lot of diversity of characters, making this feel like any classroom in any school in the country.

'I loved this book. It's funny and touching and smart and sharp. Buy it!' - Louise O'Neill, author of Asking for It and The Surface Breaks The third installment of the Primrose Leary trilogy from the multi-awarding author of Tangleweed and Brine. In the event of my untimely death, please burn this unread. No, don't DO it! Prim's alive (though the dashing Roderick is, alas, no more). She's sixteen. She's trying to make sense of her mum's diaries. She is trying desperately to make Joel be friends with her again, but he's all friends with Karen (aka the devil) now, and Prim's found a boy called Robb-with-two-bees, and then there's Steve the Goblin, and her dad's getting together with you'll-never-guess-who, and as for what's going on with Ciara and Syzmon ... Everything's a little imperfect. 'Funny and sad and smart and true - this is a great book and a brilliant ending to a truly wonderful series.' - Karina Clifford, Goodreads review

The utterly compelling and darkly magical sequel to award-winning author Deirdre Sullivan's PERFECTLY PREVENTABLE DEATHS Look. Madeline. You've lost your soul. You've lost your freedom. You've lost a bit of your sister. What else could go wrong? Catlin and Madeline are extraordinary sisters, living extraordinary lives - in a place that seems entirely ordinary, but which in fact seethes with secrets, both sacred and sinister. Ballyfran is a village where, for centuries, people who are not quite human have gathered. Catlin has already fallen foul of one such creature - a dark, vicious predator who almost killed her - and only Madeline giving up a part of her own soul was able to bring Catlin back from the brink of death. Now, the girls are making their strange new lives: Catlin, haunted by what happened to her, is isolated and bereft; Madeline is learning ancient magics under the tutelage of local wise woman Mamo. Learning that magic isn't mindfulness and hats. It's work - hard work. And Madeline knows she has to keep watch. On her sister. On the things that happen. Notice things before they start to happen. And before long, they do ...
