The new scaremester is well underway as a mystery fills the halls and the students prepare for the Howlidays!

Students have gone missing, and un-life at Monster High gets more complicated with each passing day. Everyone is on edge, causing cat fights between even the beast of fiends. But none feel the burden as heavily as the school's new protector. Only Wydowna Spider and all six of her hands could count Draculaura's obligations. Between her new position as director of the school board, fearleading practice, ghoulwork, student disembody council, and Ra knows what else, she's found herself at D'Eath's door...literally. Plus, questions swirl when the school board dusts off the Monster Claws and begins to enforce them after centuries of being lax about monster-normie relations. Who created the Claws? Why reinstate them now? What is their true purpose?

Then, Halloween is coming! Headmaster Frankenstein and Draculaura are throwing a carnival for the real monsters guaranteed to genuinely send chills down their spines, and Monster High is packed with booths: whack-a-molar, pin the wing on the dragon, spiderweb candy, and even a maze of frightmares. Plus, blankets of snow have settled over Monster High, which can only mean that the Howliday Ball is around the coroner. There's nothing quite like a school dance to scare up some defrightful drama.

Volume 2 collects issues #5-7 and the Halloween Special and Howliday Haunt one-shots.

When the school resists their efforts and then insists on a cringey name for the team--the Gay Alliance Club-- the friends, with the help of a sympathetic teacher, establish the league in their own space and on their own terms, learning a lot about empowerment, activism, and community in the process. Along the way, Mackenzie catches the attention of her crush, Brooklyn, and romance ensues, complicating and further enriching her life.

Montreal teen Pearl is passionate and dedicated both about fashion and the environment.

But not everyone, not even some of her friends, is on board with ditching fast fashion for thrift-store creativity.

While Pearl wants to showcase up-cycled and secondhand clothing, her best friend is drawn to the appeal of fast fashion. As they navigate these contrasting ideals, a strong desire to raise awareness about the fashion industry's environmental impact sparks a call to activism.

The Last of Us meets Teen Wolf in this fast-paced horror debut about a young woman who realizes she's been turned into a werewolf and must choose to turn herself in or live a life on the run.

High school senior Heidi Mills seemingly has it all: a charming (albeit pompous) boyfriend, loving (wealthy) parents, and an acceptance letter to Harvard (well, not yet). With her mom and stepdad away on vacation, this weekend she's going to host a rager at their mansion to celebrate the end of high school. There's just one catch: she has to make it through the next 24 hours. The full moon is coming tonight, and the worldwide werewolf epidemic that's been running rampant for the past few years will awake those who are infected.

Safe in her home, with its state-of-the-art lockdown system to keep the monsters out, Heidi expects to wait out the night. But when two intruders show up to loot what they think will be an empty home, the life of privilege, ease, and safety that Heidi has taken for granted comes crashing down. Suddenly exposed to the realities of this virus and the way that the rest of the world has been living all this time, Heidi embarks on a dark adventure accompanied by the mysterious-- but alluring--boy who broke into her house. But as she fights to survive the underbelly of a post-pandemic society, she'll learn that not all monsters have fangs.

With flourishes of Wes Craven and The Purge, this horror novel is perfect for fans of Gradie Hendrix, Adam Cesare, and things that go growl in the night.

It's been eight months since seventeen-year-old Emma left the quaint town of Briar Glen to attend boarding school in New York City. Now, she's back--and she's not alone: Her new boyfriend, Sam, has come to visit the most picturesque village in New England during the most magical time of the year.

But there's a chill in the air, and not just because it's winter. Emma's best friend, Aiden, isn't all too happy to see her after she left without so much as a goodbye. He and Emma have known each other since elementary school, and they used to do everything together. They even share a favorite drink: a peppermint hot chocolate from their favorite coffee shop, Cup o' Jo. This was where Emma first told Aiden she was thinking of leaving Briar Glen. It was also where Aiden had planned to confess his growing feelings for Emma -- before she showed him her acceptance letter and everything changed.

With Emma back in the picture -- and with a new boyfriend in tow -- will she and Aiden be able to break the ice?

Things aren't entirely what they seem at Quasar, and when Vern accidentally plugs in a mysterious machine and finds himself standing on the brink of the destruction of every planet in the Multiverse, he finds himself presented with the greatest question of all: what is the point?

Twelve years ago, Stella and Jeanie vanished while picking strawberries. Stella returned minutes later with no memory of what happened. Jeanie was never seen or heard from again.

Now Stella is seventeen and ready for everyone to move on already. Yes, she's the lucky survivor of her town's ugly legacy, but she's looking forward, not back. This coming summer, Stella has a great best friend, a hookup with an irresistibly crooked smile, and two months of beach days stretching out before her.

Then the body of a little girl washes up in an ancient cemetery after a mudslide, and she has red hair just like Jeanie did. Suddenly memories of that haunting day begin to return, and when Stella discovers that other red-headed girls have gone missing as well, she begins to suspect something sinister is at work.

Before the summer ends, Stella may learn the hard way that when you hunt for monsters, you might find them.

From F.C. Yee, the New York Times bestselling author of Avatar, the Last Airbender: The Rise of Kyoshi and Avatar, the Last Airbender: The Shadow of Kyoshi, comes a thrilling new chapter in the Chronicles of the Avatar series.

Yangchen's inexperience may prove to be her greatest asset . . .

Plagued by the voices of Avatars before her for as long as she can remember, Yangchen has not yet earned the respect felt for Avatar Szeto, her predecessor. In an era where loyalty is bought rather than earned, she has little reason to trust her counsel.

When Yangchen travels to Bin-Er in the Earth Kingdom on political business, a chance encounter with an informant named Kavik leads to a wary partnership. Bin-Er is a city ruled by corrupt shang merchants who have become resentful of the mercurial Earth King and his whims. To extract themselves from his influence, the shangs have one solution in mind: a mysterious weapon of mass destruction that would place power squarely in their hands.

As Yangchen and Kavik seek to thwart the shangs' plan, their unlikely friendship deepens. But for Yangchen to chart her course as a singularly powerful Avatar, she must learn to rely on her own wisdom above all else.

Avatar, The Last Airbender: The Dawn of Yangchen, the propulsive third installment in the Chronicles of the Avatar series, illuminates Avatar Yangchen's journey from uncertain young woman to revered leader.
