Perfect for readers of Stuart Gibbs’s Spy School series, this is the first book in an epic series filled with gadgets, secret codes, and clandestine adventures from debut author Max Mason! Are you ready to enter the world of a super secret super spy?
Maddie Robinson has always been overlooked: by her parents (who disappeared), by her friends (who are nonexistent), and even science fair judges (who think she has “so much . . . potential”). So when a mysterious man called The Recruiter invites her to join a secret society of spies, Maddie is floored.
Then she discovers that these super secret super spies are the Illuminati—the world’s most covert organization rumored to control, well, everything.
And one more thing: The Illuminati are kids, like Maddie! Together, they must protect humanity from anyone who threatens its peace, and basically keeping the planet spinning on its axis. No biggie, right?
The world as we know it is infected by the worst plague of them all: purple slime!
Fortunately for the citizens of Earth, a new superhero by the name of Benjamin Nushmutt knows just what to do in order to tackle this gooey, sticky situation!
Daniel Corrigan is as regular as can be, especially when compared to the Supers: kids in his new hometown with actual powers like flight and super strength. But Daniel's not powerless. Only he was able to stop the Shroud, a supervillian bent on stealing his newfound friends' powers. And thanks to him, his friends got to keep those powers.
Now Daniel himself is starting to display powers, while at the same time, his friends are losing theirs. His friend Eric thinks Daniel is just becoming a Super himself, a late-blooming one. But Daniel worries there may be something more sinister at work, since his power-stealing ability is uncomfortably like the Shroud's. Of course, the Shroud is gone now . . . or is he? And could Daniel himself be his new vessel?
Der eitle Wolf will beim Wettbewerb DMSDSDS zur Supadupa-Schönheit des Märchenwalds werden. Er hat aber ein Problem: Seine Zähne sind viel zu gelb. Die Hexe Lindenbart soll ihm mit einem Zahnweiß-Pülverchen helfen. Doch dafür bräuchte Lindenbart Kurkumawurzel und die ist leider aus. Und so muss der Wolf zunächst losziehen, zu Ibn Din Ala, tief in den Wald. Weil er sich aber allein so sehr fürchtet, muss ihn das mutige Rotkäppchen begleiten. Zackzackzack, geht es los. Die beiden treffen unterwegs das wunderschöne Schneewittchen, das auch zum Wettbewerb soll, aber gar nicht möchte. Immer nur Schönsein ist Schneewittchen viel zu langweilig. Sie will lieber mit ihren Freunden, den Zwergen, trommeln. Gut, dass Lindenbart mit den Kindern Anna und Paul auf dem fliegenden Teppich Kelim angesaust kommt. Und so darf am Ende jeder das machen, was er gerne will.
Shade, a young silverwing bat, is searching the countryside for his father when he discovers a huge glass building. When he flies inside, he finds a forest haven where, safe from predatory owls, hundreds of bats are finally living in the sunlight. But when he tries to find an exit, Shade quickly realizes that instead of a paradise, the building is really a prison. From there, bats are taken to laboratories, where they are fitted with bombs and used in human warfare. Even as Shade manages to escape, he knows that the fate of his entire species is in great peril. It's up to him to foil the dark force that plots against the silverwings. Sunwing is the exciting continuation of Silverwing, which was lauded by Smithsonian magazine as a tour-de-force of fantasy. With John McDonough's dramatic narration, Shade and his world soar with colorful life.

Down through the Way she fell, feeling the wind and the pressing darkness, the dizzy thump when she landed on the bank. She was through. The air felt softer here, the shadows deeper-and the pull of her connection to the land settled into her bones.
In the Summerlands, time moves slowly, roots grow deeply, and change is not welcomed. But change is needed.
After defeating the wicked Mor and freeing her kin from deadly oaths made to this false ruler, Fer is now the rightful Lady of the land. Yet her people don't know what to make of their new Lady's strange ways, and neither do the High Ones, the rulers of the magical realm, for Fer is an outsider-half human.
To prove herself worthy of the Summerlands crown, Fer is summoned to compete in an epic contest where her strengths and skills will be tested and her loyalties challenged. Can she trust Rook, the puck she calls friend? Can she trust herself? If Fer fails, she will lose her land and the Way will be closed to her forever.
With stunning prose, Sarah Prineas weaves an enchanting adventure in which Fer must decide if she's ready to rule and just how far she'll go to protect her kin.
