Marco and the other Animorphs have managed to find out where the Yeerks are planning to build their next ground-based
Kandrona. That's a good thing. But the location is supposed to be somewhere near the North Pole. That's a bad thing. The
Animorphs know that the Yeerks are a "cold-blooded" species, but this is a little nuts! Who wants to be near the North Pole without
Arctic morphs -- and wearing spandex?
Even so, the kids know that if the Yeerks succeed with their plan, Earth is pretty much done for. And Marco and the other
Animorphs aren't quite ready to give up the fight.
The Animorphs have met the Ellimist. He helped to save the kids when they were about to be eaten by a Taxxon. He helped
to free two Hork-Bajir and restored Tobias's morphing ability. But even though the Ellimist has enormous power, he is not allpowerful.
He has an enemy. The Crayak.
The Crayak and the Ellimist have decided that a battle is necessary to prove their ultimate power. But they don't intend to fight
each other. The Ellimist will choose the Animorphs and Erek the Chee as his champions; the Crayak will choose his own army. If
the Animorphs lose, they'll be erased from the universe altogether. And without any Animorphs, there'll be no one left to fight the
Yeerks...
A puzzlemaker's last clue. A friendship's last chance.
The GEEKs:
Gina, Edgar, Elena, and Kevin have been best friends for as long as they can remember. So when their arch-nemesis points out that their initials make them literally GEEKs, they decide to go with it.
The problem:
The GEEKs' hometown of Elmwood was once the headquarters of the famous toymaker Maxine Van Houten. Her popular puzzle sphere, the Bamboozler, put the town on the map. But Maxine passed away long ago. Now the toy factory is shutting down, and Elena's mom and Kevin's dad are losing their jobs. They might have to move-and that would mean splitting up the GEEKs!
The quest:
Maxine left one final puzzle, a treasure hunt that could save the town and keep the friends together. But only those who know and love Elmwood best will be able to solve it. GEEKs to the rescue!
The outrageously funny adventures of Mark Anchovy, pizza delivery boy and private detective, continue in his third mission - to Japan.
As a pizza detective, Colin Kingsley AKA Mark Anchovy has survived murderous criminals, bloodthirsty henchmen, and some questionable modes of transport. He now has a much more worrying problem: his younger sister is working as his apprentice.
Coaching seven-year-old Alicia for her exams to join the Golden Spatula League would be challenging enough. But the siblings must head to Japan to track down the missing English eccentric Lord Bobo - former host of the hit 90s gameshow, 'Battered by the Butler' - before he winds up dead.
Their search takes them from the bright lights of Tokyo to the eerie calm of Kirajima Island, where an exclusive school for billionaires may hold the key. As disasters mount, the pair are threatened with expulsion from the G.S.L. Standing in their way are a trio of assassins, a pernickety PA, and a killer robot fridge.
Fantastically funny and clever, the third in the hapless young detective's adventures.

After she's hit by lightning at a wedding, twelve-year-old Lilah Bloom develops a new talent: she can hear dead people. Among them, there's her overopinionated Bubby Dora; a prissy fashion designer; and an approval-seeking clown who livens up a séance. With Bubby Dora leading the way, these and other sweetly imperfect ghosts haunt Lilah through seventh grade, and help her face her one big fear: talking to-and possibly going to the seventh-grade dance with-her crush, Andrew Finkel.
'In a fresh, frank and funny first-person voice, Lilah tells of her ghostly encounters from the perspective of a normal Jewish girl coping with abnormal powers. Droll middle school drama.' - Kirkus
'All the ups and downs are portrayed with honesty and wonderful humor. Middle school girls are sure to relate and will probably see themselves somewhere in this story. Purchase is recommended. Look for the next title from this talented first-time author, as it is sure to be eagerly awaited by readers.' Reviewer: Sylvia Firth - Children's Literature
'[SMALL MEDIUM AT LARGE] is tightly-written and fast-paced, the dialogue is clever and funny, and the story flows well. While there are some discussions of kissing and dating, there is nothing in it to make it inappropriate for a fifth-or sixth grade girl, and Small Medium at Large is a perfect read for every girl who is struggling or has ever struggled to fit in. Highly Recommended.' - CM Magazine
