Ianvara. Seltsam, wie ein schlichter Name ein ganzes Land bewegen kann, vom einfachen Bauern bis zum König selbst. Dabei waren die Ianvara lange Zeit nichts weiter als ein unbedeutendes Landgrafengeschlecht, dessen einziger Verdienst es war, fähige Ritter hervorzubringen. Bis Valentine Ianvara, der Erste Ritter des Königs, zum Helden des Reiches aufsteigt - nur um kurz darauf all seine Eide zu brechen. Um ein Geheimnis von größter Bedeutung zu schützen, flieht er ausgerechnet zu jenen, die er einst so erbittert bekämpfte. Das sagenumwobene Volk der Dhraker bietet ihm Zuflucht, und während er in Veredal langsam zur düsteren Legende wird, hat hoch in den Gipfeln der Rotzinnen längst ein neues Kapitel in der Geschichte der Ianvara begonnen ...

A group of kids from hell come to Earth on one of the craziest nights of the year—Halloween—in this snarky, witty middle grade adventure about teamwork, friendship, shattering expectations, and understanding the world (or otherworld) around us.
Mal and his friends are just your regular average kids from hell. The suburbs that is, not the fiery pit part. But when Hell's Bells ring out—signaling that a soul has escaped from one of the eternal circles, Mal and his friends can't help but take the opportunity for a little adventure.
Before they know it, they've somehow slipped through the veil and found themselves in the middle of Salem, Massachusetts, on Halloween night. And what's even worse, they've managed to bring the escaped soul with them! As the essence of one of history's greatest manipulators gains power by shifting the balance on Earth, Mal and his squad-mates—along with some new friends that they meet along the way—work desperately to trap the escapee, save the people of Earth from the forces of evil, and find the portal back to their own dimension.
If they can't manage it before their parents realize they're gone, they'll be grounded for an eternity. And an eternity in hell is a very, very long time.
An old Polish city fizzes with fear. The townsfolk are at the mercy of a dragon who lurks in the cave below the castle...
Konrad's dad always used to say, 'There is a character in a book somewhere that matches you almost entirely. It's just a matter of finding them'. Konrad never expected the 'finding' to involve stepping right into a story, and he never expected his dad not to be there with him.
After his dad's death, Konrad stops speaking. Not a word at home or school as the year rolls by. But that begins to change when he meets Maya on the beach he loved to explore with Dad. She doesn't mind his silence. It gives her a chance to be heard, because at home no one seems to notice her. When the pair go on a last visit to Konrad's family bookshop before it's sold, they soon get lost in the pages of Konrad's favourite book of folk tales. Whisked back in time to quest with a dragon, they must find themselves and their voices, as well as a happy end to the story in the book and in real life.
A beautifully told, compassionate story about grief and finding your voice, with a sprinkle of Polish folklore and a magical, medieval adventure from Waterstones-shortlisted Ewa Jozefkowicz.
When Zo decides to run away from home, she isn't scared; after all, she knows the island like the back of her hand. But, as she journeys through the once-familiar forest, terrifying creatures and warped visions begin to emerge. With a beast on her heels and a lost boy thrown into her path, could a mysterious abandoned facility hold answers? Zo must unravel the secrets of the forest before she is lost in them forever...
Telling Melinda he could talk, was his choice. Melinda telling her father that he could talk, wasn't. Trapped in a cup, Teensie has to speak up for himself and demand respect from the people who care for him.
A message from Teensie:
Being in a tank has its advantages. Primarily, people forget that I’m there. I mean, let’s be realistic for a moment, even when they do remember I’m around, they don’t see me as a threat.
I’m just a harmless goldfish.
But that’s not my full story. See, I’m more than just a goldfish. I can talk - and the people I talk to can understand me.
I live with an amazing family, Melinda and her father, who are doing everything they can do to keep me safe and give me the life I dream about.
Melinda has her books, and I have mine. This is my side of the story. In Tales From the Tank you’ll hear about what actually goes on in the Longers' home, and out in the community!
Come with me, and let me take you underwater to experience the adventure my way!

A secret bully and a chance to bring him to justice. Can Kiara and the Spyglass Sisterhood deliver?
Kiara, traditionally a loner, doesn't hesitate to say exactly what's on her mind. But she's found good friends among the Spyglass Sisterhood members who appreciate her keen observations and incredible smarts.
When a fellow classmate starts to get bullied online, Kiara is determined not only to find the perpetrator(s), but also to bring them to justice. To do that, she'll need help from her friends and from the Sisterhood's magical spyglass to gather evidence and put the pieces together.
The bestselling author behind the Gifted series and the Replica books, Marilyn Kaye delivers a story filled with light magic and heart in this third book in the Spyglass Sisterhood series. Centered on four best friends—Ellie, Kiara, Rachel, and Alyssa—and a magic spyglass that reveals people's feelings, the Spyglass Sisterhood series mixes classic friendship themes with fresh conversations on community and responsibility. Each girl takes a turn at the spyglass, confronting fears and sticking up for her peers.
The November sun that had been red and threatening all day, slowly disappeared behind a cloud bank. The wind that had held steadily to the south for a week, now shifted suddenly to the northeast, coming as a furious blast. In a moment, it seemed, the mild Indian Summer breeze was changed to a fierce winter gale.
The little schooner yacht that had been riding in the bay not more than a half mile from the jagged, rocky shore line, began dancing about like a cork. For a swell had come driving in from the ocean just as the wind changed, and now the two tall masts waved back and forth, bending in wide sweeps before the gale. Unfortunately for the little craft the change of the direction of the wind exposed it to the storm’s full fury.
The captain, a weatherbeaten old Yankee who had sailed vessels of his own as well as those belonging to other people for forty years, was plainly worried. With a glass in his hand he scanned the shore line of the bay in every direction, occasionally giving a sharp order to the four sailors who hurried about the deck to carry out his commands.
The only other persons on the yacht were a man and a boy who had been sitting together beside the forward mast when the wind changed. The man was a tall, straight figure, with the erect carriage that sinewy, muscular men who are accustomed to hard work retain well into old age. His face, with its leathery skin, which contrasted sharply with his iron gray beard, was softened by a pair of deep blue eyes—the kind of blue eyes that can snap with determination on occasion, in contrast to their usually kindly expression.
Swimming is easy for Teensie. Not so much for Melinda and her Father. While they discuss the difficulties they are having with their SCUBA lessons, he must advocate for himself to get out of the plastic baggie and into a proper travel tank.
