So claims Dash Flashpowder, a legendary pirate, fearless adventurer...and the original owner of Stitch Head's pearly blue glass eye?!

When the first of Mad Professor Erasmus' creations discovers he might be part-pirate, he's taken aback. But soon he realizes that, perhaps, the dangers of the open ocean have been his calling all along!

With his creator seemingly having abandoned Castle Grotteskew and its 311 monsters, Stitch Head sets out with his crewmates Creature and Arabella to search for a new destiny, only to discover that old foes may still lurk in the deep!s

Join this motley group of sailors as they search for the world's greatest treasure--a place to belong.

Innocent wishes turn decidedly sinister in this chilling horror for fans of Katherine Arden and R. L. Stine.

Peter and his half brother, Adrian, live in the shadow of Old Splinter--a formerly lavish estate now in ruins. Rumored to have once housed an eccentric magician, it's now home to little more than spiderwebs and mold. Tasked with renovating the crumbling mansion on behalf of their wealthy uncle, Peter's stepdad is at his wits' end. And the cracks are beginning to show in their once-happy cottage.

A mysterious local legend may be their only hope. The wishing claw, a magical hand that grants your deepest desires, has spell-bound townsfolk for centuries. If it's real--if he can find it--then Peter might just save his family! But wishes are tricky things and they always come with a price. What starts innocently enough soon unearths much more than Peter bargained for, including a dark secret lurking in the walls of the mansion...and a monstrous hunger that comes knocking at his door.

A romantic, life-affirming memoir about a young woman's solo honeymoon to Europe after her fiancé's sudden death, and the community of hope and wonder she builds along the way.

Laura and Devon were on the cusp of their wedding. Both young professionals, they lived a full life in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, where they were often found hiking the rugged and beautiful coastline with their two Bernedoodles.

When they sat down to plan their honeymoon, Chianti, Italy, was at the top of the list. Four months later, Laura found herself standing at the edge of an Italian village, watching the sunset. It would have been perfect, if Devon had been there with her. But Laura's fiancé, the love of her life, had died in her arms a month before their wedding.

The Solo Honeymoon follows Laura as she faces her fears and heartbreak by going alone on the honeymoon she had planned with Devon. From screaming on the mountaintops in Ireland to wandering the busy streets of London, to dining on the French Riviera and watching the Tuscan sunset, Laura travels across Europe to find solid ground. Along the way, readers learn her unique love story with Devon and what made their relationship so special.

The result is a beautiful exploration of what it means to choose life in the face of unimaginable pain. The Solo Honeymoon shines a light on the joy of love, the depths of grief and all the beauty there is in the world.

Mother-to-be Hayley Snow bites off more than she can chew in the sixteenth installment of Lucy Burdette's USA Today bestselling Key West Food Critic mysteries.

When Sheriff's Deputy Darcy Rogers asks Hayley for a small favor, she can't say no. Nine months pregnant and temporarily benched from her food critic duties, Hayley's itching for a distraction and eager to help. All she has to do is tag along while a young woman picks up her daughter from her father at Monroe County's safe custody exchange location. Easy, right?

Wrong.

In the chaos of the Sheriff's Office open house, the mother disappears. Then the father bolts, leaving Hayley with a terrified girl and the realization that something has gone terribly wrong. Hayley and Deputy Rogers head north up the Keys to search for answers.

When a body turns up, Hayley realizes this isn't just a missing-persons case--it's a race against time. With the little girl's safety at risk, Hayley must trust her instincts--and her heart--to uncover the truth.

The Tree That Could Not Change is a children's story that asks a simple question: what if you cannot do what everyone else seems to do? In the grove, the oaks are proud when autumn arrives. Their leaves turn yellow, orange, and red, and the forest celebrates with animals delaying their winter migration just to join in. All of this joy sets the stage for one small tree in the middle that has been waiting for this moment all year. He finally has green leaves after years of nothing, and now he wants to glow in shades of red like his neighbors. Spoiler: He does not.

The young tree watches the older oaks change first. Then the others follow. His moment comes. He pushes, he wills, he believes. Yet, his leaves stay green. The animals notice. The oaks notice. The little tree notices most of all. He mumbles, "I don't understand," and that line just about sums up the heartbreak.

Weeks pass. The tree works harder than any oak around. Some oaks offer advice, but most back away, confused and unsure. The season keeps moving without him. The oaks release their leaves. The little one cannot. Then comes snow. The weight bends his branches, the storm shakes him, and he starts to ask if he even matters.

That moment when he almost breaks, something shifts. Under his bent limbs a blue jay seeks shelter. The tree, nearly crushed by his own failure, suddenly becomes a protector. That changes everything. The night is filled with chatter, the storm passes, and the bird leaves. But the tree is no longer only thinking about himself. He finds a purpose.

From then on, each storm brings new animals. The tree bends but does not break. He grows into a role no one else in the grove can fill. By spring, he no longer cares about turning red. Word spreads. Animals come not to see colors but to find safety under his strong branches. The tree that once wished to be like everyone else becomes proud of what makes him different.

This is not a story about being the brightest in the crowd. It is about surviving when it feels impossible, and finding worth in what only you can do. Children see a tree that tries, fails, hurts, and then finds meaning. Adults reading along will probably nod and think, "Yep, that's life."

The pacing keeps the tension steady with storms, struggles, and survival. The main character is just a tree, yet he feels real because the problems are the same ones people face. Wanting to belong. Fearing being left behind. Learning that what makes you different might be exactly what others need.

The Tree That Could Not Change is more than a seasonal tale. It is a reminder that not fitting in is not the end of the story. Sometimes, it is the beginning of what you were meant to be all along.

When it comes to drawing zombies, embracing imperfection is the way to go in this tongue-in-cheek instructional picture book narrated by a zombie.

So, you want to know how to draw a zombie, huh? Luckily, we found a zombie who knows all the zombie-drawing secrets.

Here's its top advice:

• Art supplies. Include glue in case your hand falls off.
• Start with a head. A lopsided square is excellent. Or a parallelogram.
• Add some wonky little lines for hair, too. We aren't going for Prince Charming here.
• Draw eyes--definitely not the same size!
• Draw a nose--remember, just a slit.
• Now give it some teeth, say, about eighty. And they have to be HORRIBLE.

And maybe your zombie wants a pet? Or a car? Or some cake? It's a good idea to keep your zombie happy at all times. One mingy slice of cake's not gonna cut it!

Insider info? The glue also works on heads that roll off. And remember, when it comes to drawing a zombie, a BAD zombie is a GOOD zombie.
