A heartwarming fantasy inspired by the Icelandic sagas about a girl and her friends who must save their found family when a swarm of terrifying undead invade their village, perfect for fans of Kelly Barnhill and Rick Riordan's Magnus Chase.

The undead are up to no good.

Helga doesn't know where she comes from. All she knows is life with Goat-Thigh, who found her as a baby in the highlands and gave her a home. Goat-Thigh used to be plagued with fits of berserk fury--a battle rage that made him dangerous to everyone around--until he took in Helga. Now, Helga won't ever leave his side, even if their neighbors shun him.

But their lives are disrupted when a nearby haunted mountain cracks open and a mob of vengeful undead invades the land. In the chaos, Goat-Thigh's berserk fits are triggered...and he's unable to break free.

To save her adoptive father, Helga will need the help of some unlikely friends to banish the undead--from mischievous ox tails to rowdy house crashers and frightening monsters with family secrets. Can Helga and her allies outsmart these specters and confront the deep wounds from their tangled pasts?

The second book in a new series about neighborhood friends who find sudden fame with a series of viral videos... only no one knows who they really are. Hannah Montana for the TikTok generation.

School's out, but summer break isn't much of a vacation for Sophie, Gus, Luke, and Harper. They're too busy making new videos for Cre8. They've got to get the clicks and keep their massive fan base!

But as they balance video production with the usual host of summer activities - and try to keep the neighborhood sleuth, Olivia, off their case -- a competing social media platform threatens to eclipse Cre8 and their entire following.

When another group of Valleyville kids becomes the newest online sensation, the crew must confront the differences between being anonymously famous versus famous-famous. They too could get everything they want -- starring roles, more friends, freedom to break out of certain roles they feel stuck in -- if they just unmasked themselves. But is that worth it?

This question, and more, will be answered in this fun and fast-paced sequel perfect for kids new to phones and social media, and anyone who's ever dreamed of becoming an influencer.

Two best friends set out to find a missing socialite in the hopes of claiming a hefty reward--but what happens when their investigation forces them to question both their morals and their friendship in this twisty mystery?

It girl Estella Aubergine is everything Pippa and Bidi are not: wealthy, popular, influential, missing. Finding her and collecting the reward money Estella's reclusive mother is offering could turn their lives around. They'd be able to pay off the overdue bills on Pippa's family's store, and all the media attention would only help Bidi's chances of becoming the youngest elected official in San Francisco.

But to uncover what happened to Estella, they'll have to enter her wealthy world. Namely, the prestigious Beaumont Academy, where Estella's classmates and teachers all seem to have dark secrets and enough money to hide them.

The deeper Pippa and Bidi dig, the more questions come up about Estella's disappearance. Worse, someone seems to be clocking their every step. And as cracks form in the girls' friendship, they begin to see that maybe the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Kiki's Delivery Service meets Black Panther in this middle grade fantasy set in a richly imagined world where once-enslaved people have built an enchanted network of hidden witch communities.

Anyone can become a witch in Missen Dessalin. If you can find the Missen, that is. Some say the whole reason it was called a "Missen" is because it was a gathering place for those who wanted to stay missin'.

Twelve-year-old Airrelle Bookman, born and raised in Missen Dessalin by two witch parents, has been waiting for magic to call to her for years now. She just has to secure her four patron animals, complete four rites, master four skills, and pass the initiation ceremony. Then she'll be a fully confirmed maroon witch, able to fly beyond the walls of the Missen as she pleases. Just like her parents, older siblings, and best friend Hosniya.

When the time for her trial finally seems to arrive, so do familial troubles and threats to the very safety and secrecy of Missen Dessalin itself. But an ordinary girl from beyond the protected walls of Missen, one who has grown up in our own tumultuous and unenchanted world, may just be the key to Airrelle's troubles.

Informed by the history of maroon societies and inspired by the fantasy worlds of Studio Ghibli, Airrelle of the Maroon Witches is a beautiful coming of age story about a shy but resourceful girl discovering her own power.

A sweet intergenerational picture book celebrating the beauty of downsizing, decluttering, and accepting change. This warm, thoughtful story makes space for what truly matters: family.

A heartfelt tool for parents to teach their kids mindfulness, gratitude, and the gentle way of letting go of what no longer serves you.

When Grandma announces she is moving from her big old house to a little new condo, she and her family realize she has too many things. They just won't fit in her new place!

Luckily they have a solution: everyone will help Grandma downsize! But while they sort through, they realize that everyday items like art supplies, jewelry, and books possess unique memories and stories that they hold dear.

The family finds the solution in creating three piles: Keep, Donate, and Throw Away. As each pile grows, Grandma realizes it will be okay, so long as she saves space in her new condo--and her heart--for those she loves most.

Award-winning nonfiction creator Meghan McCarthy tells the "original, inspired account" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) of Earl Shaffer, the first person to thru-hike all 2,000-plus miles of the Appalachian Trail in one hiking season in this empowering picture book.

While serving in World War II, Earl Shaffer lost his best friend in combat. After the war ended, he returned home and set off on a hiking adventure to walk off his troubles and find solace in the beauty and "power of nature," as he put it in his diary.

Earl didn't use a tent, preferring to sleep under the stars. He survived the cold, harsh rain, mud, blisters, steep mountaintops, and a plethora of bugs. But among the challenges, Earl also discovered wildlife, beautiful plants, and breathtaking views.

Since that first historic hike, Earl's story has inspired generations of people to quite literally follow in his footsteps. And now, utilizing snippets from Earl's diary and poetry, this book allows young readers to join Earl on that record-breaking hike.
