Book Description
Lady Salome MacDonald can’t remember her past. Not her home. Not her family. Not how she met her husband. All the people around her tell her the memory loss is a result of the illness that’s also wasting away her body. And she believes them…right up until she forgets to take her medicine and feels better, not worse. Suddenly, her mind is sharper than it’s been in months and the pain is easier to bear. Now, to stay alive, she must trick the people who’ve been tricking her in order to find out what she’s really been taking all these months—and who is trying to kill her. Except that the more she learns, the more she realizes that nothing is as it at first seems...

Book Description
When a sinister old woman leaves Griffin Penshine a box of twelve shiny pennies, she sets in motion a desperate quest—because the old woman was a wish stealer, and each penny represents a wish she stole from a wishing fountain decades earlier. Somehow, Griffin has to make things right, or the opposite of her own wishes will come true—and it could literally be a matter of life and death. The Wish Stealers introduces a new voice in middle-grade fantasy, as bright and sparkling as Griffin’s pennies.

Book Description
In the riveting sequel to Cursed Wishes, award-winning author Marcy Kennedy returns to the isles of medieval Scotland in a fast-paced fantasy where evil creatures roam the earth and danger is hidden in every lie you tell yourself. NOTHING WITH THE FAE IS EVER FREE, ESPECIALLY NOT VICTORY… Ceana Campbell wakes up in Duntulm Castle after surviving the battle with the nuckalevee, believing that it’s only a matter of days until her curse is lifted. Gavran will return for her as soon as he heals from the wound the nuckalevee gave him, and Lady MacDonald will take them to her fae contact. At least, that’s how it was supposed to go, but magical wounds aren’t like natural ones. The nuckalevee infected Gavran with a poisonous venom when it struck him down. Within a fortnight, he’ll die a painful death unless they can find an equally magical cure. THE MOST DANGEROUS MONSTER IS SOMETIMES THE ONE WITHIN… Gavran Anderson’s mind is no longer his own. Whatever the nuckalevee venom has done to him, the physical effects are the least of his worries. He’s not even as terrified as he should be that the only way to cure him involves facing another fae who’d rather see them suffer. What scares him the most are the voices in his head. The ones telling him that the people he thought were his friends want him dead. That he’ll feel better if they’re gone. Can Ceana find a way to outwit an opponent more cruel and cunning than she ever imagined possible before time runs out? Or before Gavran kills her first?

Book Description
Reimagines the lives of the Brontë siblings—Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and brother Branwell—from their precocious childhoods, to the writing of their great novels, to their early deaths. A form-shattering novel by an author praised as “laugh-out-loud hilarious and thought-provokingly philosophical” (Boston Globe). How did sisters Emily, Charlotte, and Anne write literary landmarks Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and Agnes Grey? What in their lives and circumstances, in the choices they made, and in their close but complex relationships with one another made such greatness possible? In her new novel, Rachel Cantor melds biographical fact with unruly invention to illuminate the siblings’ genius, their bonds of love and duty, periods of furious creativity, and the ongoing tolls of illness, isolation, and loss. As it tells the story of the Brontës, Half-Life of a Stolen Sister itself perpetually transforms and renews its own style and methods, sometimes hewing close to the facts of the Brontë lives as we know them (or think we know them), and at others radically reimagining the siblings, moving them into new time periods and possibilities. Chapter by chapter, the novel brings together diaries, letters, home movies, television and radio interviews, deathbed monologues, and fragments from the sprawling invented worlds of the siblings’ childhood. As it does so, a kaleidoscopic portrait emerges, giving us with startling intensity and invention new ways of seeing—and reading—the sisters who would create some of the supreme works of literature of all time.
