THE GOOD GIRLS
In the era of #MeToo comes a twisty, feminist take on One of Us Is Lying with a Gone Girl spin.
Three girls become the primary suspects in the murder of a fourth. But, playing on stereotypes
of teen girls to mislead the authorities, the girls use the platform they’ve been given to turn the
tables—exposing a sexual predator lurking in plain sight and revealing the dark truth about
the alleged crime they committed.
The troublemaker. The overachiever. The cheer captain. The dead girl. And those left behind.
Like every high school in America, Jefferson-Lorne High contains all of the above. But in this
particular small town, a storm is brewing: a perfect storm of lies, betrayal, and death.
After the shocking murder of a classmate, Avery, Gwen, and Claude are forced to confront
truths they’d rather keep buried. But, as it turns out, four teenage girls hellbent on revenge can
change a town forever.
Claire Eliza Bartlett is a writer and tour guide in Copenhagen, Denmark. She was born in Col-
orado, but left when she was eighteen to travel through Europe, where she ended up finding a
home with one husband and too few cats. The Good Girls is her first YA thriller.

Zoraida Córdova
INCENDIARY
“...This is a work of impeccable pacing, made even more impressive by the way Córdova frontloads sev-
eral dramatic tragedies and then masterfully spools out hints and secrets that disrupt the reader percep-
tion of those events and add a further layer of intrigue. ..” —BCCB (starred)
Set in a lushly drawn world inspired by Inquisition Spain, Zoraida Córdova's highly anticipat-
ed fantasy is an epic tale of love and revenge perfect for fans of Sabaa Tahir and Sarah J. Maas.
I am Renata Convida. I have lived a hundred stolen lives. Now I live my own.
Renata was a child when she was kidnapped by the King's Justice and brought to the palace of
Andalucia. As a Robari, Renata's ability to steal memories from royal enemies enabled the
King's Wrath, a siege that resulted in the deaths of thousands of her own people. Now Renata
is one of the Whispers, spies working against the crown and helping the remaining Moria es-
cape. The Whispers rescued Renata years ago, but she cannot escape their mistrust and hatred-
or the memories of the souls she drained during her time in the palace.
When Dez, the commander of her unit-and the boy she's grown to love-is taken captive, Re-
nata must return to the palace and complete Dez's secret mission herself. Can she convince her
former captors that she remains loyal? The fate of the Moria depend on it.
But returning to the palace stirs childhood memories long locked away. As Renata grows more
deeply embedded in the politics of the royal court, she uncovers a secret in her past that could
change the fate of the entire kingdom—and end the war that has cost her everything.
*Stay tuned for Book 2 in the duology, Illusionary, coming in 2021!*

A GIRL IN THREE PARTS
“Allegra drew me into her life from the first page and I didn’t want to leave. Funny, smart, tender and
wise, this is a book to curl up with by the fire or basking on the beach. I loved it. “
—Liz Byrski, author of A Month of Sundays
Winner of the Australian Indie Debut Fiction of the Year Award, a story of sisterhood, solidari-
ty, and finding your place in a changing world, A Girl in Three Parts is part Eighth Grade, part
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, and entirely original.
Allegra Elsom is caught in the middle. Some days she’s eleven, and others she feels closer to
nineteen. Some days she knows too much, and others she feels hopelessly naive. Some days
she is split in three, torn between conflicting loyalties to her grandmothers, Matilde and Joy,
and her father, Rick–none of whom can stand to be in a room together since the decades-old
tragedy that hit their family like a wrecking ball.
Allegra struggles to make peace in her family and navigate the social gauntlet at school while
asking bigger questions about her place in the world: What does it mean to be “liberated”?
What is it about “becoming a woman” that earns her a slap in the face? What does it mean to
do the right thing, when everyone around her defines it differently?
As the feminist movement reshapes her Sydney suburb, Allegra makes her own path–
discovering firsthand the incredible ways that women can support each other, and finding
strength within herself to stand up to the people she loves.
Shortlisted for the Indie Book Award for Debut Fiction 2020, readers will not soon forget Su-
zanne Daniel’s poignant debut, or the spirit of sisterhood that sings out from its pages.

THE CERULEAN &
THE ALCAZAR
Praise for The Cerulean:
“The tale will grab readers as they get to the meat of the story, and they will be hooked.”
― School Library Journal
An epic fantasy duology from the bestselling author of The Jewel.
In The Cerulean, Sera’s blood is magic. She lives in a paradise, populated only by women. Every
five hundred years, the High Priestess chooses a girl to be sacrificed—flung over the edge—for
the protection of the City. And today, she chose Sera. Sera plummets toward the surface, but
the fall doesn’t kill her. Instead, she’s found by Leo and Agnes, children from the surface city
of Kaolin who are on safari to find new creatures for their father’s freak show. Sera tries to
communicate, but her voice only comes out a whisper. Leo takes her back to the city. When
they return with their prize, their father is delighted, and Sera is horrified to see the way they
treat the other magical beings they’ve captured. As the cruel training for the show begins, Ag-
nes realizes that Sera is sentient after all—and that she must help Sera escape her cruel fate…
The Alcazar, Sera has finally recognized the true power of her Cerulean blood. But in order to
return home, she’ll need help from Agnes, Leo, and their grandmother—the only person with
knowledge about the mysterious island of Braxos, where the Cerulean tether is anchored.
Meanwhile, the High Priestess’s power has reached new heights. And when Sera’s friend Leela
begins having visions of Sera, alive, she knows she’s the key to saving the City. With the help
of friends, family, and Cerulean magic, Leela and Sera could soon return to their normal lives.
But when that time comes, will Leela be able to serve her City as blindly as she once did? And
will Sera be able to leave everything and everyone she’s grown to love on the planet behind?
Amy Ewing is the author of the New York Times bestselling Lone City trilogy (The Jewel, The

HUSH
""Hush has all the trappings of a great fantasy: a curse, a labyrinthine castle, many secrets, and power-
ful magic. At the center of it all, a girl unwilling to allow her world to be twisted by lies when she
knows the truth. A truly gripping read." ― Emily A. Duncan, author of Wicked Saints
A stunning and timely debut from activist Dylan Farrow, and already featured in Vanity Fair, The New
York Post, and Entertainment Weekly, Hush is a powerful feminist fantasy that casts light into the shad-
ows of a society based on silencing and lies.
How do you speak up in a world where propaganda is a twisted form of magic?
In the land of Montane, language is magic to the few who possess the gift of Telling. This power is re-
served for the Bards, and, as everyone knows, the Bards have almost always been men.
Seventeen-year-old Shae has lived her entire life in awe of the Bards—and afraid of the Blot, a deadly
disease spread by ink, which took the life of her younger brother five years ago. Ever since, Shae fears
she’s cursed. But when tragedy strikes again, and her mother is found murdered with a golden dag-
ger—a weapon used only by the Bards—Shae is forced to act.
With a heart set on justice, Shae journeys to High House in search of answers. But when the kind, fa-
therly Cathal, the High Lord of Montane, makes Shae an undeniable offer to stay and train as a Bard,
Shae can’t refuse. Shae endures backbreaking training by a ruthless female Bard, highly-forbidden feel-
ings for a male Bard with a dark past, and a castle filled with illusions bent on keeping its secrets bur-
ied.
But sometimes, the truth is closer than we think. We just have to learn to listen.
Dylan Farrow is a writer, mother, and activist for survivors of sexual assault. Growing up in both New
York City and rural Connecticut, she spent countless hours drawing and writing for pleasure. After
graduating from Bard College she found a position at CNN as a production assistant and later moved
into graphic design. Soon, however, she felt that neither were her calling. After getting married, Dylan
returned to writing full time, exploring her love of YA fantasy.

THIS LIGHT BETWEEN US
“An intriguing premise and fascinating tale.” ―Kirkus
“I remember visiting Manzanar and standing in the windswept plains where over ten thousand intern-
ees were once imprisoned, their voices cut off. I remember how much I wanted to write a story that did
right by them. Hopefully this book delivers.”—Andrew Fukuda
For readers of The Librarian Of Auschwitz, This Light Between Us is a powerfully affecting story
of World War II about the unlikeliest of pen pals—a Japanese American boy and a French Jew-
ish girl—as they fight to maintain hope in a time of war.
In 1935, ten-year-old Alex Maki from Bainbridge Island, Washington is disgusted when he’s
forced to become pen pals with Charlie Lévy of Paris, France—a girl. He thought she was a
boy. In spite of Alex’s reluctance, their letters continue to fly across the Atlantic—and along
with them, the shared hopes and dreams of friendship. Until the Japanese attack on Pearl Har-
bor and the growing Nazi persecution of Jews force them to confront the darkest aspects of
human nature.
From the desolation of an internment camp on the plains of Manzanar to the horrors of Ausch-
witz and the devastation of European battlefields, the only thing they can hold onto are the
memories of their letters. But nothing can dispel the light between them.
Andrew Fukuda is the author of The Crossing and The Hunt trilogy (The Hunt, The Prey, and
The Trap). Born in Manhattan and raised in Hong Kong, he is half-Chinese, half-Japanese. After
earning a bachelor’s degree in history from Cornell University, Fukuda worked in Manhattan’s

THE DEAD AND THE DARK
"The Dead and the Dark has something for everyone: thrills, chills, a mystery that'll keep readers
guessing and a romance they'll absolutely love rooting for. Snakebite is a setting as unforgettably alive
as the characters who inhabit it and once it gets hold of you, it won't let go. A riveting, spooky and ex-
pertly-crafted debut from a talented new voice in YA fiction." ― Courtney Summers, author of Sadie
A debut supernatural thriller about two girls who fall in love when they team up to stop an
evil demonic presence from terrorizing their small town.
Logan Ortiz-Woodley has never had a home. As the daughter of TV’s most popular ghost
hunters, she’s traveled to every small town in the U.S. in need of saving, but she’s always been
alone. So when her dads’s latest scouting trip takes them to Snakebite, Oregon, Logan expects
this small town to be like all the others.
Ashley Barton has always called Snakebite home. But lately, something has been wrong in her
town: her boyfriend has disappeared and the police have no leads, the weather has been all
over the place, and she’s started seeing ghosts. With everything going wrong, surprisingly, the
mysterious new girl, Logan, is the only one Ashley can trust.
When more teenagers begin turning up dead, fingers start pointing at the Ortiz-Woodleys, so
Ashley and Logan team up to figure out who—or what—is lurking within Snakebite. But their
investigation reveals truths about the town, their families, and themselves that neither of them
are ready for. As the danger intensifies, they realize that their growing feelings for each other
could be a light in the darkness.
Courtney Gould’s emotional, thrilling debut The Dead and the Dark, is about the things that lurk
in dark corners, the parts of you that can’t remain hidden, and about finding a home in plac-
es—and people—you didn’t expect.
Courtney Gould graduated from Pacific Lutheran University in 2016 with a degree in Creative
Writing and Publishing. She was born and raised in Salem, Oregon, but now lives and works
in Tacoma, Washington. She continues to write love letters to the Pacific Northwest and all of

HAVENFALL
“Sara Holland weaves an enchanting and thrilling contemporary fantasy full of dark family secrets,
heart-wrenching betrayal, and enticing magic. Readers will feel utterly transported.”
―Brigid Kemmerer, author of A Curse So Dark and Lonely
A haven between four realms. The girl sworn to protect it. New York Times bestselling author
Sara Holland crafts a breathtaking fantasy perfect for fans of Melissa Albert and Holly Black.
Hidden deep in the mountains of Colorado lies the Inn at Havenfall, a sanctuary that connects
ancient worlds—each with their own magic—together. For generations, the inn has protected
all who seek refuge within its walls, and any who disrupt the peace can never return. For Mad-
die Morrow, summers at the inn are more than a chance to experience this magic first-hand.
Havenfall is an escape from reality, where her mother sits on death row accused of murdering
Maddie's brother. It's where Maddie fell in love with Fiorden soldier Brekken. And it's where
one day she hopes to inherit the role of Innkeeper from her beloved uncle.
But this summer, the impossible happens—a dead body is found, shattering everything the inn
stands for. With Brekken missing, her uncle gravely injured, and a dangerous creature on the
loose, Maddie suddenly finds herself responsible for the safety of everyone in Havenfall. She'll
do anything to uncover the truth, even if it means working together with an alluring new staff-
er Taya, who seems to know more than she's letting on. As dark secrets are revealed about the
inn itself, one thing becomes clear to Maddie—no one can be trusted, and no one is safe . . .
New York Times bestselling author Sara Holland takes the lush fantasy that captured us in Ever-
less and Evermore and weaves it into the real world, creating a captivating series where power
and peril lurk behind every door.

SIX ANGRY GIRLS
Praise for Dear Rachel Maddow:
“A necessary purchase wherever there are teens."—School Library Journal (Starred)
Adrienne Kisner's Six Angry Girls is a story of mock trial, feminism, and the inherent power
found in a pair of knitting needles.
Raina Petree is crushing her senior year, until her boyfriend dumps her, the drama club
(basically) dumps her, the college of her dreams slips away, and her arch-nemesis triumphs.
Things aren’t much better for Millie Goodwin. Her father treats her like a servant, and the all-
boy Mock Trial team votes her out, even after she spent the last three years helping to build its
success.
But then, an advice columnist unexpectedly helps Raina find new purpose in a pair of knitting
needles and a politically active local yarn store. This leads to an unlikely meeting in the girls’
bathroom, where Raina inspires Millie to start a rival team. The two join together and recruit
four other angry girls to not only take on Mock Trial, but to smash the patriarchy in the pro-
cess.
Adrienne Kisner knits often with more enthusiasm than skill. She is the author of Dear Rachel
Maddow and The Confusion of Laurel Graham and is also a graduate of Vermont College of Fine
Arts with an MFA in writing for children and young adults.

I HOPE YOU GET THIS MESSAGE
"The end of the world has never been this mesmerizing. I couldn't look away from Farah Naz Rishi's
stunning debut that shows humanity in all its many shades of truth."
—Adam Silvera, author of They Both Die at the End
In the vein of Adam Silvera, an exciting standalone YA novel from an outstanding new voice.
In Farah Rishi’s I Hope You Get This Message, the reader is invited into an experience of our
world that is situated just minutes in the future. At the beginning of the novel, we learn that
Earth is merely a colony of a mother planet, Alma, home to a far more advanced and enlight-
ened civilization that is currently in arbitration over whether or not to end the experiment that
is us. Confronted with this news, and with the clock rapidly ticking on the fate of humankind,
three teens struggle to find meaning, purpose, and the opportunity for connection.
Interspersed with transcripts from the trial on Alma, we watch the desperate reactions of Jesse,
Cate, and Adeem unfold, as they gradually discover unexpected proof that humanity is worth
saving—and that we are going to be okay.
Farah Naz Rishi is a Pakistani-American lawyer who specialized in environmental law, per-
haps influenced by her upbringing in the forest-filled mushroom capital of the world, other-
wise known as Kennet Square, PA. A co-founder and blogger for the Muslim Squad, and for-
mer editorial assistant at Macmillan, Farah’s writing has appeared in magazines such as VICE
and she is currently writing YA fiction full-time.

THE WAY BACK
Praise for Anna and the Swallow Man:
“This deeply moving debut novel casts naivete against the cruel backdrop of inhumanity.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred)
For the Jews of Eastern Europe, demons are everywhere: dancing on the rooftops in the dark-
ness of midnight, congregating in the trees, harrowing the dead, even reaching out to try and
steal away the living.
But the demons have a land of their own: a Far Country peopled with the souls of the transient
dead, governed by demonic dukes, barons, and earls.
When the Angel of Death comes strolling through the little shtetl of Tupik one night, two
young people will be sent spinning off on a journey through the Far Country. There they will
make pacts with ancient demons, declare war on Death himself, and maybe—just maybe—find
a way to make it back alive.
Drawing inspiration from the Jewish folk tradition, The Way Back is a dark adventure sure to
captivate readers of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book and Philip Pullman's The Book of Dust.
Gavriel Savit holds a BFA in musical theater from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor,

SCAVENGE THE STARS
“A rags-to-riches story with the promise of revenge...Captivating worldbuilding and empathetically
etched characters make Scavenge the Stars a light and enjoyable read.”—Kirkus
From rising star desi author Tara Sim comes a new YA fantasy duology pitched as a biracial,
gender-swapped Count of Monte Cristo.
Set amongst the diaspora of a city-state poised between two major empires, the world of Scav-
enge the Stars is inspired by the principality of Monaco—a place of luxury, desperate gamblers,
seaside intrigue, and full of adventure, romance, and dueling identities. With shades of Crooked
Kingdom and Ember in the Ashes, the novel unfolds with the arrival of a mysterious young
woman in the city of Moray, setting in motion a years-in-the-making plot for revenge.
Amaya has been hardened by seven years aboard a debtor’s ship, ravaging the waters in
search of valuable pearls in order to pay off her father’s debts so that she may one day return
home. But when she rescues a shipwrecked stranger, he makes her an offer she can’t refuse—
one of unthinkable wealth and bloody revenge.
Meanwhile, everyone in Moray is astounded by the sudden appearance of Countess Yamaa, a
young billionaire-ess with a mysterious past and endless gold. No one is less impressed than
Cayo, a recovered gambler and son of the most important merchant in town. But when his
younger sister contracts Ash Fever and Cayo learns his father is severely in debt, the newly-
arrived Countess Yamaa suddenly seems an unlikely savior. Countess Yamaa though turns
out to be none other than Amaya, and when she and Cayo meet, their destinies will collide in
explosive ways, leading to a future of absolute vengeance, or unlikely salvation.

HOUSE OF HOLLOW
Praise for A Semi-Definitive List of Worst Nightmares:
“[A] bewitching book . . . Sutherland's fertile imagination makes this book a deep dive into the intrica-
cies of family, friends, and personal history.”—Kirkus Reviews
Seventeen-year-old Iris Hollow has always been strange. Something happened to her and her
two older sisters when they were children, something they can’t quite remember but that left
each of them with an identical half-moon scar at the base of their throats.
Iris has spent most of her teenage years trying to avoid the weirdness that sticks to her like tar.
But when her eldest sister, Grey, goes missing under suspicious circumstances, Iris learns just
how weird her life can get: horned men start shadowing her, a corpse falls out of her sister’s
ceiling, and ugly, impossible memories start to twist their way to the forefront of her mind.
As Iris retraces Grey’s last known footsteps and follows the increasingly bizarre trail of bread-
crumbs she left behind, it becomes apparent that the only way to save her sister is to decipher
the mystery of what happened to them as children.
The closer Iris gets to the truth, the closer she comes to understanding that the answer is dark
and dangerous – and that Grey has been keeping a terrible secret from her for years.
*The film of Chemical Hearts, starring Lili Reinhart, is coming later this year. A Semi-
Definitive List of Worst Nightmares has been optioned for film as well!*
Krystal Sutherland was born and raised in Townsville, Australia – an inhospitable land where
crocodiles, snakes and jellyfish are always on the prowl. She grew up living directly across the
road from the local library, and spent almost every day after school (and weekends, too) hav-
ing adventures between the pages of books (mainly because it was too dangerous to go out-
side). She moved to Sydney for college (and safety), where she cut her writing teeth as the edi-
tor of the student magazine at the University of New South Wales. She kept gathering tales as

THE EASY PART OF
IMPOSSIBLE
"Sweet, complicated, painful, and honest. Explores the way victims can become trapped by abusers.
Dives into difficult, legitimate issues with great form." ―Kirkus Reviews
After an injury forces Ria off the diving team, an unexpected friendship with Cotton, a guy on
the autism spectrum, helps her come to terms with the abusive relationship she’s been in with
her former coach.
Ria Williams was a diver on track for the Olympics. As someone who struggled in school,
largely due to her ADHD, diving was the place Ria could shine. But while her parents focused
on the trophies, no one noticed how Coach Benny’s punishments controlled every aspect of
Ria’s life. The tougher he was, the sharper her focus. The bigger the bruise, the better the dive.
Until a freak accident at a meet changes everything. Just like that, Ria is handed back her life.
To fill her now empty and aimless days, Ria rekindles a friendship with Cotton, a guy she used
to know back in elementary school. With Cotton, she’s able to open up about what Benny
would do to her, and through Cotton’s eyes, Ria is able to see it for what it was: abuse.
Then Benny returns, offering Ria a second chance with a life-changing diving opportunity. But
it’s not hers alone—Benny’s coaching comes with it. The thought of being back under his con-
trol seems impossible to bear, but so does walking away.
How do you separate the impossible from possible when the one thing you love is so tangled
up in the thing you fear most?

Rutkoski’s The Winner’s Curse and Westworld.
After the War of Kinds ravaged the kingdom of Rabu, the Automae, designed to be the play-

avenging her family’s death…by killing the sovereign’s daughter, Lady Crier.
Crier was Made to be beautiful, flawless, and to carry on her father’s legacy. But that was be-
fore her betrothal to the enigmatic Scyre Kinok, before she discovered her father isn’t the be-

THE UNICORN QUEST,
SECRET IN THE STONE, &
FIRE IN THE STAR
*A Scholastic Book Fair, Costco, and Target Pick*
"Fans of magic and fantasy, especially those who love Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time or the
darker, creepy atmosphere in Neil Gaiman's Coraline, can't miss this debut."
— Booklist (starred review)
An enchanting fantasy series, which debuted with The Unicorn Quest, about a real-world girl
searching for her sister in a land full of magic and strange creatures, blending the timeless feel
of A Wrinkle in Time with Frozen’s powerful themes of identity, enchantment, and sisterhood.
In Book Two, Secret in the Stone, Claire Martinson and her sister Sophie have decided to stay in
Arden. If what they've learned is true, the sisters are the last descendants of the royal family,
and only a true heir of Arden—with magic in her blood—can awaken the unicorns. Since So-
phie does not have magic, the land's last hope rests on Claire. The sisters journey to
Stonehaven, a famed school in the mountains of Arden, so Claire can train in the magic of
stone. With Arden on the brink of crumbling, can Claire prove she is the prophesied heir and
unlock the magic of the unicorns before it's too late?
And in Book Three, Fire in the Star, the enchanting Unicorn Quest series reaches its thrilling
conclusion as two sisters fight to save a magical land from destruction.

A PLACE AT THE TABLE
"I would love to sit at a table with Sara and Elizabeth: two entirely believable characters and a lot of de-
licious food for thought.” —Linda Sue Park, author of Prairie Lotus
A timely, accessible, and beautifully written story exploring themes of food, friendship, family
and what it means to belong, featuring sixth-graders Sara, a Pakistani American, and Eliza-
beth, a white, Jewish girl taking a South Asian cooking class taught by Sara’s mom.
Sixth graders Sara and Elizabeth could not be more different. Sara is at a new school that is
huge and completely unlike the small Islamic school she used to attend. Elizabeth has her own
problems: her British mum has been struggling with depression. The girls meet in an after-
school South Asian cooking class, which Elizabeth takes because her mom has stopped cook-
ing, and which Sara, who hates to cook, is forced to attend because her mother is the teacher.
The girls form a shaky alliance that gradually deepens, and they make plans to create the most
amazing, mouth-watering cross-cultural dish together and win a spot on a local food
show. They make good cooking partners . . . but can they learn to trust each other enough to
become true friends?

MONSTROUS DEVICES &
THE SHADOW ARTS
Praise for Monstrous Devices:
“It’s hard not to see a film adaptation — Tim Burton, please — as you’re racing through the pages; so
plotty and cinematic is this story, so hot on detail and funny in all the right places.” —The Times
On a winter’s day, twelve-year old Alex receives a package in the mail: an old tin robot from
his grandfather. “This one is special,” says the enclosed note, and when strange events start
occurring around him, Alex suspects this small toy is more than special; it might be deadly. As
things get out of hand, Alex’s grandfather arrives, pulling him away from an attack and into
the magic of an ancient family feud. Together, the duo flees across snowy Europe, unraveling
the riddle of the little robot while trying to outwit relentless assassins of the human and me-
chanical kind. Monstrous Devices plunges readers into an adventure that’s sure to surprise.
In The Shadow Arts, the thrilling sequel to Monstrous Devices—Alex and his grandfather hold
the fate of history itself in their hands! It was only a few months ago that Alex's world
changed forever. Just as life was getting back to normal, Alex's grandfather swoops in with a
proclamation: their friend Harry has been kidnapped, and it's up to them to rescue him. A ne-
farious art thief has made headlines across the continent, and somehow Harry has been
caught in the middle. They must reach Harry before the stolen artifacts reach the wrong hands
and unlock a secret bigger than anything Alex had dreamed of. Bigger than a golem.
This time, the duo's dash across Europe takes them from Harry's ransacked apartment in Paris
to the foreboding Black Forest as they race after the art thief. If Alex and his grandfather don't
catch him in time, innocent lives—and even history itself—could be at stake.

THE REPUBLIC OF BIRDS
Praise for Elizabeth and Zenobia:
“A fascinating tale that feels like Edgar Allen Poe, revisited...Eerie and dazzling—a perfect book for a
dark and stormy afternoon.” —Kirkus
In a land where magic is forbidden comes a spellbinding story of courage and sisterly love.
Olga loves the stories of the old cartographers and pores over their ancient books and maps,
trying to unlock their secrets. Sometimes, she can even feel through the maps—almost see into
them — as if by magic.
When the bird army kidnaps Olga’s sister, Mira, Olga knows that only she can venture into
the Republic of Birds to rescue her. But first, she must unlock her magical ability.
As her journey takes her into the hidden world of the Iagas and the wilds of the Unmappable
Blank, Olga discovers the truth about the war with the birds—and learns just how much is at
stake in her quest to save her sister.
Inspired by Russian folklore, The Republic of Birds is a rich and spellbinding middle-grade fan-
tasy adventure.

AMBER AND CLAY
Praise for Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!
“Schlitz is a talented storyteller. Her language is forceful, and learning slips in on the sly.”
—The New York Times
A virtuoso performance in verse—and a profoundly original epic from the Newbery Medal-
winning author of Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!—pitched just right for poetry, history, mytholo-
gy, and fantasy fans .
Welcome to the harsh, mesmerizing world of Ancient Greece as only genius storyteller Laura
Amy Schlitz can conjure it. In a warlike land of wind and sunlight, “ringed by a restless sea,”
live Rhaskos and Melisto, spiritual twins with little in common beyond the violent and myste-
rious forces that dictate their lives. A Thracian slave in a Greek household, Rhaskos is as com-
mon as clay, a stable boy worth less than a donkey, much less a horse. Wrenched from his
mother at a tender age, he nurtures in secret, aided by Socrates, his passions for art and phi-
losophy. Melisto is a spoiled aristocrat, a girl as precious as amber but willful and wild. She’ll
marry and be tamed—the curse of all high-borne girls—but risk her life for a season first to
serve Artemis, goddess of the hunt.
Bound by destiny, Rhaskos and Melisto—Amber and Clay—never meet in the flesh. By the time
they do, one of them is a ghost. But the thin line between life and death is just one boundary
their unlikely friendship crosses. It takes an army of snarky gods and fearsome goddesses,
slaves and masters, mothers and philosophers to help shape their story into a gorgeously dis-
tilled, symphonic tour de force.
Blending verse, prose, and illustrated archeological “artifacts,” this is a tale vividly of its time
that transcends time, an indelible reminder of the power of language to illuminate the over-
and underworlds of human history as only the best poetry can.
Laura Amy Schlitz is the author of the Newbery Medal–winning Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!
Voices from a Medieval Village, the Newbery Honor Book and New York Times bestseller
Splendors and Glooms, and several other books for young readers. A teacher as well as a writ-
er, Laura Amy Schlitz lives in Maryland.

THE SECRETS OF
MAGNOLIA MOON
“The Secrets of Magnolia Moon is an absolute delight. I fell in love with this from the first page. It’s a
gorgeous mix of all those simple good things: friendship, love, dancing, gardens, baby brothers and the
moon. It’s sweet and funny and so beautifully written.”—Karen Foxlee, author of Horatio Squeak
CBCA award-winning picture book author Edwina Wyatt makes her fiction debut with a
whimsical tale of a curious little girl who shares more than just her surname with the moon:
They're both excellent secret keepers.
Magnolia Moon is nine years old, likes Greek mythology, her best friend Imogen May (who
understands the importance of questions like, "If you could be one fruit, any fruit, what would
you be?"), wishing trees, and speaking crows. She knows instinctively that buffadillos are ar-
madillos crossed with buffalos and believes there are walramingos living in her garden. She's
also the kind of person who can be entrusted with a great many secrets.
Each chapter in this novel, which captures Magnolia's year of being nine and ends on Chapter
Almost 10, reveals a secret that Magnolia is keeping. But the novel also chronicles a year of
change for Magnolia. From her best friend moving to the birth of her little brother Finnegan,
Magnolia navigates every challenge and secret that comes her way with the kind of authentici-
ty and innocence that comes from being nine years wise.
Edwina Wyatt grew up in Sydney, Australia. She worked as a lawyer and a high school teach-
er before becoming a writer of books for children. Her debut book In the Evening illustrated by
Gaye Chapman was a Children’s Book Council of Australia Notable (Picture Book of the Year

Book of the Year 2017). Edwina lives on the south coast of New South Wales with her husband
and two children.

THE CAMPAIGN
“The Campaign is exactly the story we need right now. A fun middle grade tale celebrating both why
… and how … we should be involved in our government.” —Jon Scieszka
Veep meets Parks and Recreation in this hilarious illustrated middle-grade political comedy
about a 12-year-old who runs her babysitter’s campaign for mayor.
For 12-year-old Maddie Polansky, the only good part of school is art class. And though she’s
never paid much attention to politics, when she learns that the frontrunner for mayor of her
city intends to cut funding for the arts in public schools, the political suddenly becomes very
personal. So Maddie persuades her babysitter, Janet, to run for mayor against Lucinda
Burghart, art-hating bad guy. Soon, Maddie is thrust into the role of campaign manager, lead-
ing not only to humor and hijinks, but to an inspiring story for young readers that talks about
activism and what it takes to become an engaged citizen. Maddie and Janet’s adventures on the
campaign trail are illustrated by copious black-and-white drawings throughout the book.

BRAVE LIKE THAT
"Lindsey Stoddard creates a highly relatable character in Cyrus Olson then puts him on a perfectly
paced journey of the heart. Destination: the bravery to reveal his most authentic self to the people he
loves. First rate; first locker!" —Leslie Connor, author of National Book Award finalist The Truth
as Told by Mason Buttle
Cyrus was just a baby when his fire-chief, football star dad found him on the steps of the
Northfield firehouse. But growing up surrounded by heroes didn’t make Cyrus brave like the
firefighters who helped raise him. Instead, he’s as skittish as the stray dog who turns up on the
firehouse steps eleven years later, parks his head on Cyrus’s shoulder, and earns the perfect
name—Parker. Too bad Cyrus’s dad has a strict, no-pet-no-way rule. With football tryouts
around the corner, and his dad’s legendary reputation to live up to, a dog would only be a dis-
traction.
But a distraction is exactly what Cyrus wants: from the fact that he’s the only sixth grader who
can’t read a whole book by himself, from the way his two best friends are treating the new kid
in class—and from how he’d rather tap his feet to a record than score enough touchdowns to
break one.
Cyrus feels as out of place as the stray dog who captured his heart. But if fitting in means pre-
tending to be someone he’s not, maybe this is the year Cyrus can decide to be his own kind of
normal.
Lindsey Stoddard was born and raised in Vermont. She spent twelve years living in NYC and
taught middle school English at MS 324 in the neighborhood of Washington Heights. She re-
cently moved back to Vermont with her husband and two children. Brave Like That is her third
novel, following the acclaimed Just Like Jackie and Right As Rain.
