  • From #1 internationally bestselling author Freida McFadden!

    Everyone has secrets. Some are worse than others.

    Influencer and baking sensation April Masterson knows the secret to the perfect gooey brownies. Or how to make key lime squares that will melt in your mouth. But if you keep watching her offline, you may find out some other secrets about April. Secrets she'd rather you didn't know.

    Like... Where did her son go when he snuck out late at night? What was she doing with the local soccer coach behind fogged windows?

    And what's buried in her backyard?

    April's secrets are enough to destroy her.

    I'll make sure of that.

    #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden peels back the layers of a seemingly flawless life to expose a picture of obsession, deception, and the quiet menace that waits just beyond the frame.

  • Mother Bruce's family of mice and geese will do ANYTHING to get out of going to sleep in this hilarious and all-too-relatable bedtime story.

    It's bedtime in Soggy Hollow.

    But Bruce's family of mice and geese would rather watch late-night monster movies than go to sleep.

    There are so many more fun things to do like . . .

    build model airplanes

    and eat ice cream.

    and keep up their correspondence.

    Will Bruce ever get them to sleep? What's a tired old bear to do?

    Kids and caretakers alike will relate wholeheartedly to this laugh-out-loud story of pre-bedtime hijinx.

  • The #1 New York Times bestselling series is back with a brand new tale! Discover what happens next in this thrilling addition to the Wings of Fire saga.

    Umber was never supposed to be a hero . . . .

    As the youngest sibling of his MudWing hatching, Umber doesn't have the responsibilities of his bigwings, Reed, nor the heroic destiny prophesied for his brother, Clay. He's always been content with his role as the cheerful, goofy, little brother. But when his sister, Sora, causes a tragedy at Jade Mountain Academy, Umber finds himself on the run and thrown into a whole new role--that of protector.

    Umber and Sora fly south in search of a place where they can live far away from other dragons . . . until a kind, hybrid dragon named Mulberry saves him from a kraken attack, and Umber realizes they don't have to survive alone after all. In fact, there's an entire community living on a forgotten island, full of dragons hiding from their own dark pasts.

    As the two MudWings settle into the Court of Refuge, they start to realize that nothing in this place is quite what it seems, and the protection it offers comes with a price. Even as Umber falls for Prince Mulberry, he learns he must find a way to unlock the past of this mysterious island to ensure he and Sora have a future. And when the dragons in power try to stop him, he'll have to decide what he cares about most . . . and whether he can be the hero these dragons need after all.

  • Caldecott Honoree Melissa Sweet gorgeously illustrates the work of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Mary Oliver for the first time in picture book form.

    Have you heard them singing in the wind, above the final fields?

    Have you ever been so happy in your life?

    Mary Oliver, winner of the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, is one of America's most beloved poets. Introducing her unforgettable words to children for the very first time, her poem "Goldfinches" joyfully observes the power of the natural world as only Mary Oliver can.

    Illuminated by the exquisite mixed-media artwork of Caldecott Honoree Melissa Sweet, Goldfinches fills the reader with wonder for the beauty around them and gratitude for the ability to bear witness to it.

  • NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Snow Child returns to the mythical landscapes of Alaska with an unforgettable dark fairy tale that asks the question: Can love save us from ourselves?

    "No one writes like Eowyn Ivey."--Geraldine Brooks

    "You will find yourself in places you have never been."--Louise Erdrich

    "Ivey is an enthralling storyteller."--The New York Times Book Review

    AN NPR AND SEATTLE TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

    Birdie's keeping it together; of course she is. So she's a little hungover, sometimes, and she has to bring her daughter, Emaleen, to her job waiting tables at an Alaskan roadside lodge, but she's getting by as a single mother in a tough town. Still, Birdie can remember happier times from her youth, when she was free in the wilds of nature.

    Arthur Neilsen, a soft-spoken and scarred recluse who appears in town only at the change of seasons, brings Emaleen back to safety when she gets lost in the woods. Most people avoid him, but to Birdie, he represents everything she's ever longed for. She finds herself falling for Arthur and the land he knows so well.

    Against the warnings of those who care about them, Birdie and Emaleen move to his isolated cabin in the mountains, on the far side of the Wolverine River.

    It's just the three of them in the vast black woods, far from roads, telephones, electricity, and outside contact, but Birdie believes she has come prepared. At first, it's idyllic and she can picture a happily ever after: Together they catch salmon, pick berries, and climb mountains so tall it's as if they could touch the bright blue sky. But soon Birdie discovers that Arthur is something much more mysterious and dangerous than she could have ever imagined, and that like the Alaska wilderness, a fairy tale can be as dark as it is beautiful.

    Black Woods, Blue Sky is a novel with life-and-death stakes, about the love between a mother and daughter, and the allure of a wild life--about what we gain and what it might cost us.
