"It took months for me to trust that Rachel - the imaginary “friend” who’d hurt me as a child - was gone, years to convince myself I was just a sick kid with an overactive imagination.
But I finally did it. I pulled it together, got well, and I never looked back.
On the day our school bus is knocked off an overpass, I’m just an average teen obsessed with becoming a professional dancer.
Now, suddenly my childhood tormentor is back and I’m on the run from Rachel and men-in-black types who want me dead.
But this time I’m not alone. Jessie, the scariest misfit at my school, has an invisible tormentor too. But it turns out Jessie’s not so scary. He’s kind, brave, and as committed as I am to keeping us both alive.
Together, I hope we can figure out why this is happening. I never dream our investigation will lead back to the hospital where Rachel first appeared or to dark secrets that give us both even more reasons to be afraid.
Narrated by Jason Clarke and Emma Ashton."
"By the order of Fluff or Claw it can be done.
There are two ways into the Kingdom—by love or by blood.
This little pig? I choose…blood.
People thought we were the perfect family.
And maybe we were, back then. Before Dad had to go away to get better. I wish I’d never learned that Dad sometimes couldn’t be trusted.
But most of all I wish my little brother hadn’t been kidnapped by my murderous stuffed pig or toted off to a fantasy land where good toys go to retire, and bad toys make sacrifices to gain entrance to paradise.
Now, it’s up to me to save Finn, with the help of his creep-tastic doll and a blankie I’m pretty sure wants to eat my eyeballs.
The Kingdom of Fluff and Claw isn’t a safe place for kids, but safe or not, I can’t go back without Finn.
I’m going to bring my little brother home and no toy, no matter how dangerous, is going to stop me.
The Kingdom of Fluff and Claw is a middle grade fantasy in the tradition of Labyrinth and The Wizard of Oz. It is appropriate for ages 8 and up."
"Once there was a girl with a heart as black as night...
Or so legend goes. But I know better. Grown in the Night Witch's garden and tasked with softening the souls of men, the dream spells I spin keep the women of earth safe. Without it, they would be as miserable (and damaged) as my mother.
Let the humans call me names—banshee, nightmare, monster—I sleep deep and dreamless.
Until the day I’m rescued from the sea by a forbidden boy. Until the night we break all the magical rules and the kiss that changes…everything.
Until the moment I realize Mother’s the one who’s been spinning lies.
Now I must choose—between love and duty. Between life and something worth living for. Between the boy who owns my heart and a legacy as wicked as a witch’s curse.
Narrated by Joe Jameson and Emma Ashton.
