in the most unlikely of places. Mika Moon follows three rules: hide
your magic, keep your head down, and stay away from other witches.
Mika is good at being alone, and she doesn't mind it . . . mostly.
But when an unexpected invitation arrives to teach three young
witches at the mysterious Nowhere House, Mika jumps at the chance
for a different life. As she comes to care for its quirky
inhabitants - and Jamie, the handsome but prickly librarian -
finally belonging somewhere feels like a real possibility. But
magic isn't the only danger in the world - is it worth risking
everything to protect the found family Mika didn't know she was
looking for? A warm and uplifting novel about an isolated witch
whose opportunity to embrace a new family - and a new love -
changes the course of her life. 'A comfort read' Stephanie Burgis

One kingdom. One crown. One family. “Maybe it’s time the great
House of Rey came to an end. After all, what are we now? Just a
house of rage and sorrow.” Esmae once wanted nothing more than to
help her golden brother win the crown of Kali but that dream died
with her best friend. Alexi broke her heart, and she vowed to
destroy him for it. And with her sentient warship Titania
beside her, how can she possibly fail? As gods, beasts, and
kingdoms choose sides, Alexi seeks out a weapon more devastating
than even Titania. Past lives threaten the present. Old enemies
claim their due. And Esmae cannot outrun the ghosts and the
questions that haunt her. What really happened to her father? What
was the third boon her mother asked of Amba? For in the shadows,
lurking in wait, are secrets that will swallow her whole. The House
of Rey is at war. And the entire galaxy will bleed before the end.

Kiki Kallira can bring her drawings to life...but when a mysterious
curse threatens her newly-created kingdom and friends, how can she
use her powers to save them? A fantasy adventure inspired by Hindu
legends about anxiety, creativity and finding your own strengths.
For 8+ fans of Abi Elphistone and The Land of Roar. Fresh from the
exciting discovery that the beautiful kingdom and band of rebel
kids she drew in her sketchbook exists in another world, Kiki
Kallira has an unexpected visitor. One of the rebels has come into
the real world to ask for her help - the river Kaveri that is
Mysore's only source of water has suddenly vanished! With no water
to drink or grow food, Kiki's kingdom is doomed. When drawing a new
river doesn't work, Kiki returns to Mysore and stumbles upon the
origin of the Kaveri: a princess from long ago who was transformed
into water by a terrible curse! It's up to Kiki and her friends to
restore the river without sacrificing the princess again. With her
mounting anxiety, enemies seeking to stop her and a city growing
weaker by the minute, Kiki's confidence falters. Will she be able
to unravel the curse and save her kingdom before it's too late?
Praise for Kiki Kallira Breaks a Kingdom: 'A fast-paced, vivid and
exciting adventure story with real heart, I couldn't stop reading!'
- Robin Stevens, author of the Murder Most Unladylike series
Kiki Kallira is more of a worrier than a warrior - but today she will
learn to be a hero. The mythical beasts she loves to draw have come to
life, and she is the only one who can defeat them. A middle-grade
fantasy inspired by Hindu legends about anxiety, creativity and finding
your own strengths. For 8+ fans of Abi Elphistone and The Land of Roar.
Kiki Kallira has always been a worrier. Did she lock the front door? Is
there a terrible reason her mum is late? Recently her anxiety has been
getting out of control, but one thing that has always soothed her is
drawing. Kiki's sketchbook is full of fantastical doodles of the Hindu
myths and legends her mother has told her since she was tiny.
One day, her sketchbook's calming effect is broken when her
mythological characters begin springing to life and Kiki is pulled into
the mystical world she drew.
There, she discovers the band of rebel kids who protect the kingdom, as
well as an ancient, monstrous god bent on total destruction. Kiki must
overcome her fear and anxiety to save both worlds - the real and the
imagined - from his wrath.
But how can a girl armed with only a pencil defeat something so
powerful?
