Wendell Chestna is the complete package; he's a beautiful prince with riches and has not a fault inside of him. A made-up fantasy because of his royal position, but he is only human. A high title doesn't just produce false assumptions, but it's quite difficult to determine the sincerity of people's kindness. His father's recent death after a long war leaves Wendell in a stressful predicament. Their law dictates the eldest son must claim the throne upon reaching seventeen years of age, which he will turn in the next three months. Making matters even worse, his mother sets an arranged marriage with some nobleman's daughter. This union would grant them an ally in this nation, all at the cost of her hand, but she is not the girl Wendell plans to wed. Instead, he hopes to make a sweet peasant-one who dwells in the poorest village-his lifelong companion, Kana Littleton. Queen Althelia proposes a simple deal. If the lovestruck boy can get a favorable answer before the set time limit, he is free to espouse her over Blanche. These conditions are generous enough; however, will Kana accept him for the right reasons? Is her love a pure, honest emotion from within or only swayed by his status and wealth? Under a foreign boy persona, Wendell will discover if they're truly meant to marry. But as lies start piling up to conceal his double life, whose heart is really being put to the test? Meanwhile, another war thought to have ended is slowly approaching...

Two brothers. One piano. Two very different journeys. Aden has always loved music. But growing up beside Freddie-a younger prodigy whose fingers seem to understand the piano better than words-leaves Aden wondering if there will ever be a place for him in the world he dreams of joining. While Freddie's talent shines effortlessly, Aden fights for every note, carrying the weight of comparison, family expectations, and a question that refuses to disappear: Is greatness something you are born with... or something you discover within yourself? From quiet afternoons beneath the banyan tree in India to the dazzling streets of Paris, Aden's journey takes him through friendship, heartbreak, love, loss, and the search for where he truly belongs. Along the way, he learns that music is not a competition between those who are gifted and those who struggle. It is a language that connects families, heals old wounds, and carries memories across generations and continents. Because becoming a great musician is not just about mastering the piano. It is about discovering who you are-and where your heart calls home.

"Your story, your rules." Thirteen-year-old Kamille just wanted a place where her brain wouldn't explode. Between the suffocating noise of the Human Realm, a school that feels like a minefield, and a home life she's barely coping with, she flees to a hidden, overgrown patch of woods behind her neighborhood. She expects quiet. She doesn't expect Bean. Bean is a minor guardian spirit-scared, starved, and covered in burn marks from a "training" ritual gone horribly wrong. He's spent weeks running from a dangerous past, expecting nothing but cruelty from humans. But Kamille doesn't ask questions he isn't ready to answer. She just brings peanut butter. When the dark, magical forces that hunted Bean track him to Kamille's sanctuary, their fragile safe haven is threatened. Together, a broken kid and a runaway spirit must learn what it truly means to protect someone-even when the whole world is on fire.

2,180 days without a single friend. Online school doesn't save me from the pain. If you've made it this far, then you've cared about me more than my teachers and parents combined. It sounds performative if I tell you that I am just another bullied kid trying to survive, but I don't know if I am. *** Solomon Handler's nightmares have returned-and this time, they are becoming more real. Like every other problem in his life, Solomon tries to push them away, but these visions want something. And they are coming to collect. As the world around him begins to crumble, Solomon is forced to confront the horrors that torment him whether he is awake or asleep.

A heartwarming tale about turning big worries into light balloons. Meet Lily, Milo, Rosie, and Tom-the Worry Wizards. They don't carry magic wands; they carry backpacks that grow heavy or light depending on the "Pebbles of Worry" hidden inside. From Lily's lavender pack filled with "What-If" pebbles to Tom's stormy blue bag that weighs him down when the thunder rumbles, the Wizards are finding it harder and harder to walk through their colorful world. But when a new group of friends-The Kindness Crew-arrives with glowing Breath-Balloons and shimmering Virtue Stones, everything changes. The Wizards discover that they don't have to carry their heavy loads alone. Join the Worry Wizards on a vibrant, sensory journey as they learn that asking for help isn't a sign of weakness-it's a sign of self-awareness and strength. Perfect for children, parents, and teachers, this story is a gentle reminder that even on the cloudiest days, kindness and friendship are the best sunshine.

There's something disgustingly strange happening on the campus of Emerald Glades Academy. Something that seems to be spreading. And only a "boy genius" along with his few reluctant classmates - and the limitless miracles of modern science - may stand between hope and unmitigated disaster for an entire mutated student body. Not to mention a town. And maybe even... the whole world itself.

In Gibraltar the king goes to work. He doesn't "rule" - he kneads dough in a bakery, because by decree of the first king every king must spend a few days a week closer to the people. The people would usually rather he stayed a little farther off. Jimmy García has been king for three years, and he is slowly coming to see that his country is the size of one town, that everything in it is arranged the way it is everywhere else - and that even a small country has to be ruled in earnest. The inhabitants of Gibraltar, by the way, are magots - Gibraltar apes. The people live up on the Rock, and feeding them is forbidden. Each chapter is a story of its own. For readers of eight to twelve, and for those who read to them aloud.

During a medieval fair in Italy, surrounded by swords, archers, blacksmiths, banners, and shining armor, he receives a mysterious ancient compass from a sword master after losing his very first duel. The sword master leaves him with one lesson Alex will never forget: "No warrior is born knowing how to fight. First, he must find his path." That same night, the compass begins to glow and leads Alex to the mirror in his living room. But instead of seeing his normal reflection, Alex sees an older version of himself: a powerful warrior wearing legendary armor, holding a shining sword, and staring back at him from another world. When the mirror opens like a portal, Alex wakes up in a magical medieval realm with max-level equipment, a legendary sword, and powers he does not know how to control. He looks like a hero. But he is still just a boy. Now Alex must discover the truth behind the mirror, survive the creatures that hunt him, and learn what it really means to become a warrior. Because every great hero starts at level one.

He expects his life to remain uneventful. Then he meets the mysterious Pegasus-riding girl Calida Albright. Calida is bold, stubborn, and keeping a secret bigger than Aiden could ever imagine. She possesses a ruby that grants her the power of Fire, and she has spent years making sure no one discovers it. But after being adopted by the Duke and Duchess of Symphony, Garrett and May Hanson, she is forced to attend Oak Tree Academy, where keeping that secret becomes much more difficult. Unfortunately, on her very first day, her history class takes a field trip to the War History Museum, home to countless historical artifacts. While there, Calida discovers eight different-colored diamonds eerily similar to her ruby: the Eternity Diamonds. And suddenly, her secret is out. Calida realizes that her ruby is actually the long-lost Red Eternity Diamond, one of ten Diamonds notorious for choosing worthy masters. But as memories of her forgotten past begin resurfacing, she can't help but wonder: "Am I truly worthy?" Meanwhile, Aiden learns that out of all ten Eternity Diamonds, the only one powerful enough to counter Calida's is hidden inside the Castle-his lifelong home. If he wants to stop what's coming for them, he'll need to lead his friends into the most heavily guarded place in the kingdom while fighting his own guilty conscience. Now Aiden, Calida, and their new friends are caught between a rock and a hard place. They have three goals: stay out of police custody, win a centuries-long war between the Diamond Masters and an evil giantess, and solve a mystery that stretches into the galaxy.

Description: Penny is a bright, energetic 10-year-old girl looking for a fresh start in Prism Valley-a sun-drenched, technicolor suburb far away from the grim, black-and-white industrial city of Monochroma. By her side is Rufus, her intensely loyal German Shepherd. But Rufus is no ordinary dog. With vibrant fire-truck red fur, a sharp lime green tie, and a mind-bending ability to change his size based entirely on his emotions, Rufus is a walking disaster zone of pure love. When he's scared or angry, he explodes to the size of a literal minivan (SHWREHHUP!). When he's happy, he inflates like a parade balloon. When he's sad, he shrinks to the size of a teacup. To top it all off, he speaks in an incredibly deep, dignified, deadpan voice-making him the ultimate straight-man in a completely wacky world, and the only dog in the world who can speak English. Can Penny survive the daily chaos of a giant red dog who accidentally blocks traffic, terrifies her principal, and constantly mutters, "I love you, Penny"? Step into a high-energy, slice-of-life cartoon adventure packed with 90s/2000s Nickelodeon nostalgia, massive laughs, and a whole lot of heart!

*You do not need to have read the other books to understand this one. However, Book 1 is free from the link in my bio!* Beneath the beautiful town of Aura Lake lies an ugly secret, and the more they dig, the deeper the mystery goes. Ever since Morrigan's gut-wrenching last words, Emily wonders whether going on a summer vacation with Desirae was the right decision and if their friendship will turn out the same way (minus the portal). But as they arrive in Aura Lake, a town known more for its oddities than real danger, things take a turn when the lighthouse beam flickers out, a strange fish washes up tangled in wreckage, and a survivor bumbles through tales of occult forces. But Emily's not surprised when a spirit seeks their help. They gather clues and meet the locals to reveal the truth, but although quirky, none of them seem to be cultists. Yet, there's word of an ancient relic buried deep below, which may hold the key to stopping the dark forces creeping into town. But as strange symbols appear and masked figures close in, Emily begins to question everything-even Desirae's motives. With doubts pushing the girls apart and her cousins' town in danger, Emily will have to get out of her own way and uncover the truth about Aura Lake before it's too late to save the town from the dangers lurking beneath the surface. This is a story about friendship and making things work through trust, preserving knowledge and history (the real history), and seeing through the mask to the true person. It has a small, quirky town filled with crafters and curios, a lore keeper, lighthouse exploration, an undercity aspect, and strong friendships. Great for fans of Jessica Renwick and her "Lavender Raine" series, and Katherine Arden's "Small Spaces" series. *This book cover is temporary*
