Julie Abe's Our Cursed Love is a magical, uplifting story about the
magic of true love and the choices we make. Perfect for fans of
You've Reached Sam. Six days to remember. Love or lose him forever.
Remy Kobata has always wished she was destined to be with her best
friend, Cam Yasuda. All the way from being neighbors from birth to
mixing up magical prank potions together to their “just
friends” homecoming date during their senior year in high school,
nothing’s a secret between Remy and Cam—except for how much she
is in love with him. Remy is trying to work up the courage to
confess her feelings during their winter break trip to Japan, when
she gets selected for a mystical tea leaves reading and it reveals
that they’re not meant to be together. After they stumble upon a
secret magical apothecary in the back alleys of Tokyo, Remy and Cam
are offered an ancient soulmate elixir, created before all love
potions were banned by the magical government. They each have their
reasons for wanting to take it, but what could go wrong with
finding your soulmate a little earlier? Except, after they drink
up, their senior year trip flips into the worst vacation ever: Cam
has forgotten who Remy is. If she can't help Cam remember her by
midnight New Year’s Eve, they’ll both be cursed to forget each
other. To unravel their past and rewrite the future, Remy and Cam
must travel through Tokyo to rediscover Cam’s memories and make
new ones—and maybe even fall in love all over again.

For fans of Shannon Hale and Gail Carson Levine, comes an
enchanting fairy tale retelling of the Japanese Cinderella, set in
the magical world of Eva Evergreen, Semi-Magical Witch. Once upon a
time, Alliana believed in dreams and fairy tales as sweet as
spun-sugar clouds. Alliana wished on shooting stars, sure that
someday she and her grandmother would be able to travel to the
capital city to see the queen. Then her grandmother passed away-and
those dreams disappeared in a disenchanted puff. Now Alliana's
forced to attend to the whims of her wicked stepmother-with long
days of cleaning her stepfamily's inn as her skin burns raw or
staying up until the crack of dawn to embroider her stepsister's
ball gowns. Until she meets two beings who change her life
forever-the first is a young nightdragon who Alliana discovers she
can magically talk to. And the second is Nela, a young witch. Nela
needs Alliana's help navigating the mysterious abyss, filled with
dangerous beasts, a place Alliana knows by heart. Alliana sees
Nela's request as a chance to break free of her stepmother's shadow
and to seize a chance at a life she's barely dared to hope for-but
there's a risk. If caught, Alliana will be stuck working for her
stepmother for the rest of her life. Can Alliana truly make wisps
of dreams into her own, better-than-a-fairy-tale happily ever
after? Inspired by the Japanese Cinderella story and set in the
same world as the Eva Evergreen series, this story can be read as a
standalone.
A thrilling and charming middle grade fantasy steeped in Japanese
lore and mythology, perfect for fans of the Zachary Ying series.
Tessa Miyata has never fit in. When she and her two sisters are
told they will be staying at their grandparents in Japan, Tessa is
thrilled. A summer in Japan could be her chance to go on an
adventure worthy of impressing her classmates back home. Her hopes
are quickly dashed when, all too soon, she realizes that life in
Japan is just like being in California: her sisters are old enough
to go into Tokyo, while she can't even go to the corner store by
herself. Plus, her grandparents want her to stay home with the
neighbor kid, thirteen-year-old Jin Uehara, who's made it clear
he's too cool to spend time with a weirdo like her. When Tessa is
finally allowed to go to Tokyo, it's only to join her grandpa's
retiree aerobic class with none other than Jin. Their disastrous
forced hang out comes crashing to a halt when Tessa and Jin break
the Miyata family's precious heirloom-accidentally releasing the
malicious samurai god Taira Masakado and discovering a hidden part
of the city where gods and mythological creatures walk among
humans-including their new companion, a mythical nine-tailed fox
who may be more trouble than he is help. Despite doing everything
to avoid spending another minute together, Tessa and Jin must now
work together to stop Taira Masakado before he traps them-and the
rest of Tokyo-under his command, forever. Perfect for fans of Rick
Riordan and Graci Kim, this brand new fantasy adventure will grip
readers from the very first page and never let go.
Sometimes all you need is a pinch of magic... Eva Evergreen is
determined to earn the rank of Adept Witch before she turns
thirteen years old. If she doesn't, she'll lose her magic forever.
For most young witches and wizards, it's a simple enough test: ONE:
Help your town, do good all around. TWO: Live there for one moon,
don't leave too soon. THREE: Fly home by broomstick, the easiest of
tricks. The only problem? Eva only has a pinch of magic. She
summons heads of cabbage instead of flowers and gets a sunburn
instead of calling down rain. And to add insult to injury, whenever
she overuses her magic, she falls asleep. When she lands on the
tranquil coastal town of Auteri, the residents expect a powerful
witch, not a semi-magical girl. So Eva comes up with a plan: set up
a magical repair shop to aid Auteri and prove she's worthy. She may
have more blood than magic, but her "semi-magical fixes" repair the
lives of the townspeople in ways they never could have imagined.
Only, Eva's bit of magic may not be enough when the biggest magical
storm in history threatens the town she's grown to love. Eva must
conjure up all of the magic, bravery, and cleverness she can muster
or Auteri and her dreams of becoming a witch will wash away with
the storm.
Eva has finally achieved her life long dream: becoming a novice
witch. However, the journey is far from over and now Eva must
uncover the secrets behind the Culling, the violent magical storm
that hits her realm every year. But is the source closer to home
than she expected?
