A JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD GOLD STANDARD SELECTION!
A boy who underestimates his power . . .
A girl with a gift long thought lost . . .
A Land ready for revolution . . .
The heir to the Land should be strong. Fierce. Ruthless. At least, that’s what Beau’s father has been telling him his whole life, since Beau is the exact opposite of what the heir should be. With little control over his future, Beau is kept locked away, just another pawn in his father’s quest for ultimate power.
That is, until Beau meets a girl who shows him the secrets his father has kept hidden. For the first time, Beau begins to question everything he’s ever been told and sets off in search of a rebel who might hold the key to setting things right.
Teaming up with a fiery runaway boy, their mission quickly turns into something far greater as sinister forces long lurking in the shadows prepare to make their final move—no matter what the cost. But it just might be Beau who wields the power he seeks . . . if he can go from pawn to player before the Land tears itself apart.

Ms. Frogbottom's class is on a field trip to Romania, where a visit to Dracula's castle brings them face to fang with vampires, garlic, bats, and-yikes!-could it be the legendary count himself? Bestselling and beloved author Nancy Krulik ingeniously approaches geography in a new way as the kids learn about the places they visit while fighting, fleeing, or, in some cases, rescuing monsters.
My favorite time of the day is bedtime story hour. Even though I’m not the biggest fan of bedtime, the hour or so before the lights go out I either lose or find myself in a story. I spend as much of my free time as I can, thumbing through the pages of books and connecting with the characters I find inside. It is here that “Why Bedtime Sucks” became the opposite of a bedtime story.
Un dia va passar quelcom inesperat que es va convertir en tot un misteri: la Rut Fàbregas havia desaparegut. Després d'assistir a classe com de costum, a la tarda ja no es va presentar al seu assaig de teatre. Alguna cosa estranya havia passat. Després d'interrogatoris i commoció, ningú no en sabia res, tret d'en Lucas Bilbo, el seu company de teatre, que guardava un secret respecte a la Rut. Per què va quedar amb en Lucas el dia abans de la desaparició? Què va ser l'últim que li va explicar? I quin misteri s'amaga en la seva desaparició?
Les claus per resoldre aquest misteri s'aconsegueixen a través del teatre, i així és com Bilbo comença a posar a prova els seus dots interpretatius, havent d'ocultar i de dissimular tot el que sap de la Rut, un terrible secret. Una història entretinguda amb lleugers tocs de thriller, que tracta problemes que afecten als joves.
