******
When a mysterious door the size of an apple appears in the back of the garage, 10-year-old Monique and James have to investigate. After freeing a trapped fairy, the small magical creature tries to recruit the kids for a mission to save the dark wood and the fairy folk who live there. Monique jumps at the chance, but James is reticent. What could a couple of kids possibly do to save magical beings? If fairy magic can't save them, how could a couple of city kids? Regardless of his apprehension, James finds himself following his bold step-sister into the wood, the dark wood where magic is real and murderous beasts lurk.

Allegra, known to everyone as Alli, is almost 16 years old and feels different. While her classmates spend their summer holidays on exciting trips, Alli and her single mother are stuck with the routine of their small train station kiosk. She is far from popular at school, and at home, silence often fills the air. But recently, Alli has noticed something changing within her.

Alli has no idea that she is at the start of a journey that will forever change her understanding of herself and the world. A secret her mother has been hiding for years is about to be revealed-a secret meant to protect her from a threat far beyond anything Alli could ever have imagined.

DOGWOOD ✔︎ by elle-blair

Thirteen-year-old Ginna's only connection to her long-dead mother is the dogwood in her backyard. The tree radiates a warm sort of buzz which might possibly be magic. Or is it a trick of her imagination? That's the agonizing question that earned her the label, "weirdo who talks to trees." And it's the reason Ginna is struggling with her plan to make one real friend. After an embarrassing attempt ends with Ginna kicking a soccer ball at a classmate's face, she retreats to the comfort of her tree-shaped companion to ask for help-and something strange happens. Ginna goes from mostly ignored to ridiculously popular overnight, and she's having conversations with someone or some thing inside her head. The source, an opinionated tree spirit named Dogwood, claims she accidentally stepped into Ginna's body. But now that the spirit has access to Ginna's thoughts and memories, she's in no hurry to go back where she belongs. Until Ginna figures out that Dogwood is hiding information about her mom. Now it's Ginna who doesn't want to let go. She has so many questions-but there's no time to wait for the stubborn spirit to answer. Ginna's body is becoming dangerously depleted and can no longer sustain Dogwood's energy. She'll have to find the courage to stand on her own before possession burnout destroys them both.
