Stell dir vor, du öffnest an deinem 18. Geburtstag die Haustür und dort liegt ein Geschenk: ein riesiger Wanderrucksack, ein Paar Wanderschuhe und ein Trailtagebuch für den Yosemite Nationalpark. Würdest du loslaufen?
Mari entscheidet sich genau dafür, obwohl sie noch nie mehr als zehn Schritte zu Fuß getan hat. Von heute auf morgen tauscht sie Smartphone und Social Media gegen schneebedeckte Berge, reißende Flüsse und Blasen an den Füßen, aber auch gegen Sonnenaufgänge wie aus dem Bilderbuch, warmherzige Begegnungen und mutige Entscheidungen - denn der Yosemite verändert jeden.
Girl Online meets Der große Trip: Jessi Kirbys neuer Jugendroman ist eine kluge und emotionale Geschichte über ein Mädchen, das ihr Leben als erfolgreiche Influencerin gegen die raue Wildnis des Yosemite Nationalparks eintauscht - und dabei das Leben wieder lieben lernt.
All Vanilia Solveig wants is to be just a regular, ordinary kid. Still, by the time her 12th birthday approaches, her magical powers begin to emerge and it becomes clear, to her consternation she is far from ordinary.
In fact, she is really, quite scarily e-x-t-r-a-o-r-d-i-n-a-r-y!
Drawing on themes from Norse folklore, Of the Wind, the Sea and the House of Strength takes the reader on a magical journey from the islands of Orkney to the realms of fantasy.
Seven kids, Thor's hammer, and a whole lot of Valkyries are the only things standing against the end of the world.
When thirteen-year-olds Matt Thorsen and Fen and Laurie Brekke, modern-day descendants of Thor and Loki, discovered they were fated to take the places of the Norse gods in an epic battle against the apocalypse, they thought they knew how things would play out. Gather the descendants standing in for the gods, defeat a giant serpent, and save the world. No problem, right?
But the descendants' journey grinds to a halt when their friend and descendant Baldwin is poisoned and killed and Matt, Fen, and Laurie must travel to the Underworld in the hopes of saving him. That's only their first stop on their journey to reunite the challengers, find Thor's hammer, and save humanity--a journey filled with enough tooth-and-nail battles and colossal monsters to make Matt and his friends a legend in their own right.
Perfect for fans of ancient myths and filled with young heroes, monstrous beasts, and godly enemies, this fast-paced adventure is impossible to put down.
The third adventure in the beloved fantasy series full of folklore and mayhem, from the creator of Jackaby.
Brothers Cole and Tinn—one human, one a goblin changeling—are determined to solve a mystery almost as old as they are: What happened to their long-missing father?
Joseph Burton vanished without a trace, leaving the baby boys’ mother to raise them alone. Some say he abandoned his family, others that he met foul play looking for a way to get rid of the changeling imposter. Cole is determined to finally push through the rumors and learn his father's fate.
With the help of their friends—Evie, expert on the creatures of the Wild Wood, and Fable, the indomitable half human, half fairy—Tinn and Cole set out on a dangerous quest to the deepest, most deadly limits of the Wild Wood. Meanwhile a shudder runs through the forest. Increasingly powerful earthquakes shake the land, sinkholes form, and the spriggans, trolls, and other creatures along their path speak of an ancient evil on the rise . . .
Having escaped from Hong Kong, the five gatekeepers - Matt, Pedro, Scott, Jamie and Scarlett - are scattered in a hostile and dangerous world. As they struggle to re-group and plan their next move, the malevolent King of the Old Ones gathers his forces in Oblivion: a desolate landscape where the last survivors of humanity must fight the ultimate battle.
