What Sawyer's seeing might mean murder. The second "dramatic,
quick-paced thriller ("Kirkus Reviews")" in a series from the "New
York Times "bestselling author of the Wake trilogy.
Jules should be happy. She saved a lot of people's lives and she's
finally with Sawyer, pretty much the guy of her dreams. But the
nightmare's not over, because she somehow managed to pass the
psycho vision stuff to Sawyer. Excellent.
Feeling responsible for what he's going through and knowing that
people's lives are at stake, Jules is determined to help him figure
it all out. But Sawyer's vision is so awful he can barely describe
it, much less make sense of it. All he can tell her is there's a
gun, and eleven ear-splitting shots. Bang.
Jules and Sawyer have to work out the details fast, because the
visions are getting worse and that means only one thing: time is
running out. But every clue they see takes them down the wrong
path. If they can't prevent the vision from happening, lives will
be lost. And they may be among the casualties...
A riveting middlegrade dystopian novel from New York Times
bestselling Wake author Lisa McMann that Kirkus Reviews calls "The
Hunger Games meets Harry Potter." Every year in Quill,
thirteen-year-olds are sorted into categories: the strong,
intelligent Wanteds go to university, and the artistic Unwanteds
are sent to their deaths. Thirteen-year-old Alex tries his hardest
to be stoic when his fate is announced as Unwanted, even while
leaving behind his twin, Aaron, a Wanted. Upon arrival at the
destination where he expected to be eliminated, however, Alex
discovers a stunning secret--behind the mirage of the "death farm"
there is instead a place called Artime. In Artime, each child is
taught to cultivate their creative abilities and learn how to use
them magically, weaving spells through paintbrushes and musical
instruments. Everything Alex has ever known changes before his
eyes, and it's a wondrous transformation. But it's a rare, unique
occurence for twins to be separated between Wanted and Unwanted,
and as Alex and Aaron's bond stretches across their separation, a
threat arises for the survival of Artime that will pit brother
against brother in an ultimate, magical battle.
Ten years after Alex and Aaron Stowe brought peace to Quill and Artimé, their younger twin sisters journey beyond the islands in this New York Times bestselling first novel of a new sequel series to The Unwanteds, which Kirkus Reviews called “The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter.”
Identical twins Fifer and Thisbe Stowe have amazing yet uncontrollable magical abilities. They’re naturally more gifted than even their brother, Alex, the head mage of Artimé, could hope to be. But when they accidentally use their magic in the jungle of Artimé to strike down a beloved creature, Alex is furious, and threatens to lock them away until they can learn to control their power.
The threat is soon forgotten, though, when Hux, the ice blue dragon, comes to Artimé bearing the horrible news that his siblings have been enslaved by the notoriously evil Revinir, ruler of the dragon land.
Seeking a chance to right their wrong and escape their brother’s wrath, Thisbe, Fifer, and their friend Seth sneak away to rescue the dragons from grave peril. Will their untrained abilities be enough to save the dragons—and themselves—when they come face-to-face with the Revinir?

The visions aren't stopping, and neither is the danger in this
series conclusion from the "New York Times "bestselling author of
the Wake trilogy.
After narrowly surviving two harrowing tragedies, Jules now fully
understands the importance of the visions that she and those around
her are experiencing. She's convinced that if the vision curse
passed from her to Sawyer after she saved him, then it must now
have passed from Sawyer to one of the people "he" saved.
That means it's up to Jules to figure out which of the school
shooting survivors is now suffering from visions of another crisis.
And once she realizes who it is, she has to convince that survivor
that this isn't all crazy--that the images are of something real.
Something imminent.
As the danger escalates in this conclusion to the Visions series,
Jules wonders if she'll finally find out why and how this is
happening--before it's too late to prevent disaster.
A risky decision endangers both Artime and Quill in book five of
the New York Times bestselling Unwanteds series, which Kirkus
Reviews called "The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter." Alex and his
friends from Artime are stranded on a newly discovered island after
barely surviving a storm that destroys their ship. And it turns out
they're not alone... Back in Quill, Aaron's power base grows as he
aligns himself with an unlikely ally. Together, the two enact a
drastic, risky plan to finally conquer Artime--a plan that could
ultimately leave everyone in both Artime and Quill in far more
danger than Aaron realizes.
Twins Alex and Aaron Stowe are put to the ultimate test to fulfill
their destinies and save both Quill and Artime from the deadliest

Stowe and his friends successfully fended off the latest threat to
their magical world of Artime with the help of a surprise ally.
United at last, they're exploring exciting new territory. But old

in a final epic battle, one they can't hope to win alone. Loyalties
will be tested, and powerful new abilities will emerge on both
sides of the war that could change everything. Will Artime finally
know peace or will all that Alex and his people have fought for be
destroyed forever?
