Sparkboys: Fifteen-year-old Murphy Rapp has moved south, and he plans on not staying long. The mosquitos are terrible, the people are loud, and his adoptive mother is intimidating--and that's before she turns him and his friends into killer robots, corrupting any hope of leaving the dark heart of Dixie. Sweet home Alabama, am I right?

Olympahoma: What did a small town in Oklahoma do to anger a three thousand year old Greek god? Why did it warrant one hundred years of drought and an impending tornado? And most importantly: where did all of these yams come from? Follow Ari Wilde as she travels through a world of lame demigods and chiton-clad cowboys while trying to find Zeus's prized gorgoneinon in the desert--and seriously, what's up with all this ominous wind?

Heart Attack: What if you could share a body with your soulmate? Sounds like a fun story, but Kanon and Stephanie, it's reality--a painfully awkward reality, especially because they hate each other and they have to fight crime.

Stranded Dark: Being the princess's handmaid sucks sometimes. "Sometimes" being the time that you have to fly into Umbra, the most dangerous kingdom in the world, supposedly riddled with cannibals and deviants. "Sometimes" being the time that you get kidnapped by the royal family. And "sometimes" being the time that you have to team up with a rogue prince to get back to your home a thousand miles away.
