Ceres si rende presto conto che se vogliono avere una minima speranza di difendere l’isola, lei avrà bisogno di ben più delle sue abilità normali: dovrà infrangere l’incantesimo dello stregone e riguadagnare il potere degli Antichi. Ma per fare questo deve compiere un viaggio, da sola, lungo il fiume di sangue verso la grotta più oscura del regno, in posto dove non esistono né vita né morte, da dove è più probabile che lei stessa esca più morta che viva.

Miraculous

A traveling medicine show promises to cure all, but two kids learn it takes more than faith in the miraculous to fix things that are broken. Thirteen-year-old Jack knows what cured his baby sister when his family thought she might never get well-Dr. Kingsbury's "Miraculous Tonic." Guaranteed to relieve maladies known to man or beast, Dr. Kingsbury's potion can cure everything from pimples to hearing loss to a broken heart, and Jack himself is a witness to the miraculous results and the doctor's kindness. When he had no money, the doctor didn't turn him away but gave him the tonic for free along with a job-to travel with him from city to city selling his cure-all elixir. When Dr. Kingsbury and Jack arrive in Oakdale, the town at first feels like any other they've been to. But it's clear Oakdale is a town with secrets, and its citizens are slow to trust strangers. Then Jack meets Cora, and a friendship neither expected starts to bloom. Together they uncover something else they didn't expect-not only secrets about the town but also Dr. Kingsbury. As they race to discover the truth, they'll have to decide who and what to believe before it's too late.

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.

Third-grader Aven Green has been solving mysteries for a really long time—a whole month! She has solved many important cases like The Mystery of the Cranky Mom, The Mystery of the Missing Ice Cream, and The Mystery of the Smelly Feet. Her record is nearly 100 percent, with only The Mystery of the Cereal in My Underpants remaining unsolved to this day. Aven asks all the right questions, wields her detective kit carefully, and follows up on every clue. Then her teacher’s lunch bag, with her lunch still in it, is taken, and Aven’s great-grandma’s beloved dog goes missing. Can this perceptive detective crack two cases at the same time? Luckily, Aven has a superpowered brain full of lots of extra brain cells to take on both cases. See, she was born without arms, so all of the cells that were supposed to make her arms went into making her brain instead. At least that’s her working theory for The Mystery of Why I Have So Many Extra Brain Cells.
