Celebrate the many wonderful ways families are unique and chickens
are adorable! On the way to school, Little Chick notices all the
other kids are traveling with a mom or a dad, a big brother or a
big sister. Little Chick doesn’t have a dad or siblings. He has
two moms. His friend asks: Want to borrow a bear brother? No!
Little Chick likes being an only chick. Although he’s fascinated
to see that some families swim together and some fly, some have
teeth and some have beaks, he’s happy to be a chicken—and to be
right where he’s meant to be—with the family that loves him.
"Unique and gripping."-Tamora Pierce New York Times bestselling
author Melissa Marr invites readers into a magical world where
stone gargoyles live among humans, ferocious water horses
infiltrate the sea, and school hallways are riddled with magic
wards--and where a group of young heroes seeking justice discovers
those very creatures are the best of allies. Twenty years ago, a
door opened between the world of humans and the Netherwhere,
allowing all kinds of otherworldly creatures entry. Some, like the
kelpies and fairies, who like to bite, are best avoided. But the
gargoyles are wise and wonderful, and show a special affection for
humans. Vicky has grown up under the watchful eye of a gargoyle
named Rupert, and excels at sword-fighting and magic. But there's
so much she doesn't know--like why her mother, once one of the
queen's elite Ravens, keeps Vicky hidden away and won't let Vicky
train at the elite Corvus school where girls with her gifts perfect
their skills. But when a horrific tragedy occurs, Vicky knows it's
finally time to use her gifts, and that the only place she should
be to avenge the crime against her family is at Corvus. There she
bands together with a former street thief and an alchemy student to
figure out whom they can trust in a place that's rife with intrigue
and secrets. And all the while, the gargoyles watch and nudge.
Time's not linear to them, so they know change comes in ripples.
With their steadying influence, Vicky and her friends just might be
the generation to expose the court's secrets and ensure a better
future for both worlds.
The second adult novel from the internationally bestselling author
Melissa Marr Chloe knew she shouldn't have gone into the bar last
night. Now, in addition to a pounding headache and weak limbs,
she's got the guilt of five years sobriety down the drain. When she
wakes, she's not in the world she knows. She's in The Wasteland, a
world populated by monsters and unfamiliar landscapes, in the
company of people just like her, pulled to the Wasteland out of
time and place, for reasons no one knows or understands. Once
there, though, their mission is clear: keep the peace, protect each
other, and try not to die, because sometimes, after six days of
death, you might not wake up. But things are changing in the
Wasteland. And for Jack and Kitty, brother and sister from a Wild
West frontier town; Edgar, a Prohibition rumrunner and Kitty's
former lover; Francis, a former hippie and general peacemaker;
Melody, a mentally-unbalanced 50s housewife; and Hector, a former
carnival artist, the careful balance they've been keeping for years
is about to be upset. All of them, and Chloe, are about to get the
answer they've been looking for years: why have they been brought
to the Wasteland in the first place? And will it be possible for
them to get back home?
The second in the stunning series of exclusive manga stories from
Melissa Marr, set in the same seductive and dangerous faerie world
as her bestselling WICKED LOVELY novels, The Desert Tales

ignore Faerie politics. As a former mortal and now a solitary
faery, she has relished the isolation and freedom of the desert.
But new players are seeking power, and old allies are imperilled.
As tensions mount, Rika must decide whether - and how - to act to
save her independence and her romance with Jayce.

The Arrivals is the second novel for adults by internationally
bestselling author Melissa Marr.
Chloe walks into a bar and blows five years of sobriety. When
she wakes, she finds herself in an unfamiliar world, The Wasteland.
She discovers people from all times and places have also arrived
there: Kitty and Jack, a brother and sister from the Wild West;
Edgar, a prohibition bootlegger; Francis, a one-time hippie;
Melody, a mentally unbalanced 1950s housewife; and Hector, a former
carnival artist.
None know why they arrived there--or if there is way out of a
world populated by monsters and filled with corruption.
Just as she did in Graveminder, Marr has created a vivid fantasy
world that will enthrall. Melissa Marr's The Arrivals is a
thoroughly original and wildly imagined tale about making choices
in a life where death is unpredictable and often temporary.
The book includes a P.S. section with extra material from the
author and a bonus story exclusive to this paperback edition.
Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries.Aislinn has always seen
faeries. Powerful and dangerous, they walk hidden in mortal world.
Aislinn fears their cruelty--especially if they learn of her
Sight--and wishes she were as blind to their presence as other
teens.Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries.Now faeries are
stalking her. One of them, Keenan, who is equal parts terrifying
and alluring, is trying to talk to her, asking questions Aislinn is
afraid to answer.Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention.But
it's too late. Keenan is the Summer King who has sought his queen
for nine centuries. Without her, summer itself will perish. He is
determined that Aislinn will become the Summer Queen at any
cost--regardless of her plans or desires.Suddenly none of the rules
that have kept Aislinn safe are working anymore, and everything is
on the line: her freedom; her best friend, Seth; her life;
everything.Faerie intrigue, mortal love, and the clash of ancient
rules and modern expectations swirl together in Melissa Marr's
stunning 21st century faery tale.
The world is gone, destroyed by human, ecological, or supernatural
causes. Survivors dodge chemical warfare and cruel gods; they
travel the reaches of space and inhabit underground caverns. Their
enemies are disease, corrupt corporations, and one another; their
resources are few, and their courage is tested. Powerful, original
dystopian tales from nine bestselling authors offer bleak insight,
prophetic visions, and precious glimmers of light among the shards
and ashes of a ruined world. Stories from: Kelley Armstrong Rachel
Caine Kami Garcia Nancy Holder Melissa Marr Beth Revis Veronica
Roth Carrie Ryan Margaret Stohl
When I found you, you were small and trembling, and I thought you
might be a little bunny. I held you close so you were warm. The
world can seem like a big, bewildering place for new babies -
fortunately, their mothers know just how to sooth and comfort them.
This book cleverly explores a baby's emotions with apt comparisons
to animals and, in doing so, reassures young children that their
caretakers will always love them and keep them safe. The lovely
illustrations of mummy animals caring for their babies playfully
reinforce this message, making for a visually captivating book.
