The first official Minecraft novel! In the tradition of iconic adventures like Robinson Crusoe's Treasure Island, the New York Times bestselling author of World War Z tells the story of a hero - stranded in the world of Minecraft - who must unravel the secrets of a mysterious island in order to survive.
Washed up on a beach, the lone castaway looks around the shore. 'Where am I?' 'Who am I? And why is everything made of blocks?' But there isn't much time to soak up the sun. It's getting dark, and there's a strange new world to explore!
The top priority is finding food. The next is not becoming food. Because there are others out there on the island . . . like the horde of zombies that appear after night falls. Crafting a way out of this mess is a challenge like no other. Who could build a home while running from exploding creepers, armed skeletons, and an unstoppable tide of hot lava? Especially with no help except for a few makeshift tools and sage advice from an unlikely friend: a cow.
In this world, the rules don't always make sense, but courage and creativity go a long way. There are forests to explore, hidden underground tunnels to loot, and undead mobs to defeat. Only then will the secrets of the island be revealed.
Meet the next big thing in the world of official Minecraft novels: zombies!
Looking after a little sibling can be a real headache . . . especially when they're a zombie trying to eat your brains!
Life is good for Bobbie in the sleepy village of Plaintown. Sure, her villager parents only ever say "Hrm," but you pick up the local language quickly. And maybe her little brother, Johnny, is always getting into trouble, but the village's iron golem is there to look out for him. And, yeah, things are too busy for exploring when you're the only one in town who ever takes their hands out of their sleeves. But maybe that's for the best. After all, there are things out there beyond the torchlight that are better handled by adventurers.
But one night, a stranger comes to Plaintown-and he's followed by a horde of ravenous zombies! Bobbie's village is overrun, and her world is turned upside down as her friends, family, and neighbors fall victim to the zombies' endless appetite.
Life is not so good for Ben, an adventurer with nothing left to his name but the armor on his back. When dawn's light shows him an abandoned village, he sees it as a chance to pick through the wreckage and get himself back on track. What he wasn't expecting to run into was a desperate girl with a baby zombie villager on a leash.
Bobbie and Johnny are the only ones left . . . and her brother's a lot greener and a lot bitier than he was last night. There's still some of Johnny rattling around the little zombie monster's mind; Bobbie just knows it. And Ben might know a way to bring him back.
As the two journey across the Overworld, dragging Johnny along (literally), they brave dangerous depths, terrifying mobs, and an expanding mystery. Was the zombie attack on Bobbie's village really just bad luck? Where did the rest of the zombies go? And how exactly do you take care of a little brother who can't stop trying to eat you?
Hold onto your brains-and your bows-and get ready to enter Minecraft: Zombies!
Mini is small, and Hardly is smaller – and neither of them are happy about it in this heart-warming picture book about unicorns from Kate Greenaway Medal-winning Catherine Rayner.
Mini and Hardly are fed up of being small. Being grown-up would be so much better! They could eat what they want, stay up all night, and go on adventures. So . . . why wait? But it’s not long before the two little unicorns find themselves on an adventure a little bigger than they'd bargained for. Perhaps being small isn't so bad – after all, it makes you perfect for the BIGGEST cuddles.
Michael Morn might be a villain, but he's really not a bad guy. When you live in New Liberty, known as the City without a Super, there are only two kinds of people: those who turn to crime and those who suffer. Michael and his adoptive father spend their days building boxes, special devices with mysterious abilities, which they sell to the mob at a price. With Michael's "gift" and his dad's ingenuity, they find a way to get by. They provide for each other, they look out for each other, and they'd never betray each other. In a city torn apart by the divide between the rich and the poor, the moral and the immoral, this is as much of a family as Michael could ever hope for.
But then a Super comes to town, a mysterious blue streak in the sky known only as the Comet, and Michael's world is thrown into disarray. The Comet could destroy everything Michael and his dad have built, the safe and secure life they've made for themselves. And now Michael and his father face a choice: to hold tight to their life or to let it unravel.
John David Anderson, author of the ac-claimed Sidekicked, has written another story set in a world where superheroes and supervillains are everywhere but where the line between right and wrong, good and evil, is no less elusive.
Historien om Bo Vilhelm Olsson, som blir Mio och hamnar i Landet i fjärran där han får i uppdrag att bekämpa den onda riddar Kato, är en av Astrid Lindgrens mest älskade berättelser. En storslagen, vacker och poetisk saga som väcker tankar om livet och döden, gott och ont, och kärlekens makt. Astrid Lindgren berättade att hon fick idén till boken när hon promenerade genom Tegnérlunden och gick förbi en ensam pojke på en bänk. Det var en mörk höstkväll och han såg så ensam och ledsen ut. Och hon lät honom bo på Upplandsgatan 13 eftersom hon såg honom försvinna in i den porten.
The desert is no place for ocean-dwelling Kampii like Aluna and Hoku, especially now that Aluna has secretly started growing her tail. But the maniacal Karl Strand is out to conquer the Above World, and the horselike Equians are next on his list. Aluna, Hoku, and their friends - winged Calli and Equian exile Dash - race to the desert city of Mirage, intent on warning the Equians and forming an alliance. Unfortunately, Strand's clone Scorch has gotten there first. Now the Equian leader has vowed to take all his people to war as part of Strand's army. Any herd that refuses to join him by the time of the desert-wide competition known as the Thunder Trials will be destroyed. To have any chance of defeating Scorch and convincing the Equians to switch sides, the four friends must find a way to win the Trials. The challenge seems impossible. But if they fail, the desert - and possibly all of the Above World - will be lost to Karl Strand forever.
Die kleine Vampirin mit dem Herz für Tiere!
Mein Name ist Mirella, Mirella Manusch. Ich bin fast zehn Jahre alt und habe gerade erst erfahren, dass ich ein echtes Vampirmädchen bin. Abgefahren, oder? Aber es kommt noch besser: Ich kann nämlich mit Tieren sprechen. Nur blöd, dass mein Vater von dieser Gabe nichts erfahren darf. Als Tierarzt könnte er mir sonst super helfen, wenn wieder mal ein Tier in Not ist. Zum Glück habe ich meine beste Freundin Klara. Die ist keine Vampirin, dafür aber sofort zur Stelle, wenn ich sie brauche. Und das tue ich, denn Frau Eule kann kaum noch was sehen. Da muss man doch was tun, oder?
Kleine Vampirin mit eigenem Beschützer und einem Herz für Tiere: Hier steckt alles drin, was Kinder lieben

Die kleine Vampirin rettet die Tiere!
Mein Name ist Mirella, Mirella Manusch. Ich bin fast zehn Jahre alt und habe gerade erst einen neuen Eckzahn bekommen. Seitdem weiß ich: Ich bin ein Vampirmädchen. Ja, echt! Wenn die Sonne untergegangen ist, kann ich mich in eine Fledermaus verwandeln und fliegen. Außerdem habe ich einen eigenen Beschützer, meinen Kater Langstrumpf, der eigentlich Lancelot heißt. Und das Allercoolste: Ich kann die Sprache der Tiere verstehen, von Kleinkram wie Spinnen und Motten mal abgesehen. Abgefahren, oder? So kommt es auch, dass ich die Sorgen der Tiere in unserem Zoo kennenlerne. Ist doch klar, dass ich da helfen will, oder? Nur das mit der Geheimhaltung ist manchmal verflixt kompliziert ...
Bestsellerautorin Anne Barns und ihre Tochter haben eine Heldin erfunden, die Kinderherzen höher schlagen lässt!
'Witziger und vor allem komplett unblutiger Auftakt der neuen Vampir-Reihe.' (Westfälische Nachrichten, Dezember 2020)
What's brewing when two favorites - poetry and fairy tales -
are turned (literally) on their heads? It's a revolutionary recipe: an infectious new genre of poetry and a lovably modern take on classic stories. First, read the poems forward (how old-fashioned!), then reverse the lines and read again to give familiar tales, from Sleeping Beauty to that Charming Prince, a delicious new spin. Witty, irreverent, and warm, this gorgeously illustrated and utterly unique offering holds a mirror up to language and fairy tales, and renews the fun and magic of both.

In #1 New York Times bestselling author Alex Flinn's modern and mysterious retelling of Snow White, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and true love doesn't necessarily mean Prince Charming.
Celine's life is the stuff fairy tales are made of. She's beautiful, talented, and brave. Unfortunately, her tale comes complete with a wicked stepmother! When Violet steps into Celine's life, everything changes and weird things begin to happen to her—bizarre accidents, strange illnesses, and rabid animal attacks. Celine doesn't feel safe anywhere. It's almost as if some hateful witch is out to get her.
And there is. Violet has been waiting all her life to have Celine's father to herself. Getting rid of his gorgeous daughter is child's play for a witch as powerful as she is. Happy-ever-after isn't enough for Violet. She wants to be the fairest of them all, and Celine is in the way . . . but not for long.
Forced to take refuge with her friend Goose and his family, Celine gives up everything she loves and goes deep undercover. But will it be enough to fool Violet, or will Celine's fate be decided by a reflection in a magic mirror? And where do you find Prince Charming in Miami anyway?
Mirrored is a modern retelling of Snow White—told from the points of view of Violet, Celine, and Goose—with all the magic and mystery readers will love.
