Thirteen-year-old Bell Shepherd lives on a remote island in Alaska, she spends her free time sabotaging construction sites and hunter's traps. Her field biologist parents are always traveling and Belle feels abandoned. When her parents miss their flight home and are declared missing for the seventh time, Bell just rolls her eyes, but she's deeply hurt and this time, she's not waiting around for them to show up. This time, she's running away to start her own life. All she wanted was to know they cared about her-to be home on her birthday, to invite her on one of their trips...something. But no. So Bell was leaving. But as she packs her bags in the dusty cabin, Bell uncovers a strange note from her parents...

In a swashbuckling world of territorial pirates, strange sea monsters, and a bit of magic to boot, everyone grows up with the same dream-amass the greatest treasure hoard possible, stash it away in a secret cove, and retire to savor the rare bumblebee plums of the tropical islands. But not everyone was born with the same opportunities. Robin, however, was born into everything. Robin was the son of the most famous pirate of the high seas-a man known for the size of his dreadlocks, the number of ships in his fleet, the height of his treasure piles, and his magical flying swords. Today was Robin's birthday and that meant it was time for him to prove himself. Robin had waited his entire life for this moment and it would have come a lot sooner if he'd had any control over time, but he didn't, so today was the day. In a spectacular ceremony, Robin is gifted his father's best ship and sent off with a savage crew to complete his first mission. Pick a ship, any ship, raid it, and return with riches. It was a rite of passage and Robin was destined for greatness. The only problem is that the mission goes horribly wrong.

Ollie lives in outer space, but he doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up. His space station needs doctors, engineers, and scientists, but he's...different. When he discovers what he's meant to be, he realizes that he has to try out in a competition, and it will test his limits and values. This is a story about self-discovery, friendship, and creativity.

After Ned's family inherited an old mansion falling apart at the seams, Ned began to play pranks on his six older siblings, trying to convince them the house was haunted. But Ned might as well have been invisible because his family wasn't fooled. Ned was just a nuisance and he really just wanted attention. His dad nagged him to pick up a tool kit and help with the chores, but Ned had a more important job-hunting imaginary ghosts with his Foam Blaster 10,000. It was the only gift he'd ever received that wasn't a hand-me-down. Sometimes the foam darts accidentally got stuck on his siblings' foreheads and that was usually his cue to run upstairs, lock himself in his room, and play his favorite online game, CyberGhost, while he let one of his siblings cool off. But when an anonymous offline player messages Ned to tell him that they need help stopping a ghost invasion IRL, Ned feels important for the first time in his life. He knew it was just a game, but could they actually be serious?

In a fantastical world where boys spend their whole lives training to fight dragons, ten-year-old Rose wanted to be a boy. Girls were taught how to decorate castles, banners, buffets, and, lucky them, the boy's armor! Rose hated it. It was especially annoying that her six-year-old brother was already walking around with his chest puffed out, bossing her around, as if he'd slain ten dragons on Tuesday. But at least Rose could do one cool thing-she could make gemstones fly. The castle's treasure hoards were filled with fire diamonds, jungle rubies, ice emeralds, sugar sapphires, and she couldn't name them all, but she had to admit, the family's jewel collections were a beautiful thing. Don't tell her mother though, because apparently it's impossible for a girl to love pretty things and want a steel sword for her birthday.

Once upon a time, Billie (the biggest baddest shark in the whole entire sea) lived in an underwater reef. Every day, he terrorized his sea creature neighbors and scared away anyone who came near his beautiful reef. But when his reef is invaded by a school of even bigger badder sharks, Billie finds himself in need of help from the very sea creatures he'd bullied.
