--Kika Hatzopoulou, bestselling author of Threads That Bind Sylvie has taken a summer job at a remote and alluring prairie preserve in the middle of the Great Plains. It's a much-needed escape--from her sadness, from her cruelly distant father, and maybe even from herself: She longs to be free of the intrusive, obsessive thoughts that are her constant burden. Soon, she finds herself drawn to a stunning shepherd boy and can't stop herself from going to him at night, even though she's been warned to keep away. During the day, though, she begins to develop a friendship with another boy, a strange-looking and strangely gentle coworker named Jack . . . and gradually to uncover the mysteries of this place that feels more like home than anyplace has before it. But those mysteries include a powerful curse, and when she uncovers the truth of it, she becomes recklessly determined to break it--to free the one trapped in its spell. She fails to consider the possibility that her actions could break much more than just the curse, and that some burdens demand to be borne.Sold out -
Sold outWhat Lies Beneath the Flowers
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.Sold out -

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.

In Unleashed, celebrity dog trainer Jaime Goodrich shows you how to understand your dog, provide support, and a create secure, lasting bond with one of the best relationships you could have in your life.
