  • Bestseller Sparks (The Notebook) and filmmaker Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense) combine their talents to create a paranormal love story that makes suspension of disbelief easy through thoughtful characterization. Architect Tate Donovan entered a "paralyzing" depression following the death of his sister and closest confidante, Sylvia, leading to a four-month stay in a psychiatric hospital at the urging of his best friend, Oscar. Now readjusting to day-to-day life, Tate takes a room in a Cape Cod estate while helping Oscar to design and build a vacation home nearby. That banal assignment takes an odd turn when Tate catches sight of an attractive stranger in the house where he's staying. When Tate asks around, the property's groundskeeper remarks that his description of the woman sounds like Wren Tobin, who died in the house almost two years prior. Tate comes to believe that he's seen a ghost, which does nothing to stop him from falling for her when they meet again. He also becomes preoccupied with resolving the mystery tethering Wren to the house: the possibility that she was murdered. The mystery chugs along nicely but the romance is the stronger plot, and the authors deserve credit for making the relationship between the living and the dead moving. Fans of both authors will not be disappointed. (Oct.)

  • A Baby-sitters Club graphic novel adapted by National Book Award longlister and Eisner-nominated cartoonist Ellen T. Crenshaw!

    The Mancusis don't have any kids... but they sure do have a lot of pets! So when they're desperate for a sitter, who do they call? The Baby-sitters Club! Kristy feels pretty sure that the BSC does not pet-sit. But Jessi has always liked animals, and she talks Kristy into being okay with her taking the job.

    With snakes on the loose and sick hamsters, Jessi's got plenty of pet-sitting troubles, and things don't get any easier when she and her friends get into a big fight. Will Jessi be able to handle her pet-sitting job when things are going wrong with the baby-sitters, too?

  • In the thirteenth book in Stuart Gibbs's New York Times bestselling Spy School series, superspy middle schooler Ben Ripley goes off the grid to eliminate a cybersecurity threat.

    After a devious computer hacker pulls off the CIA's worst-case scenario, shutting down power networks all over the world, Ben and his fellow spies-in-training are forced to make a harrowing emergency landing of their plane in Indonesia. While chaos begins to erupt around the planet, Ben deduces that his team is closer to the mysterious hacker's base than anyone else. But with all computers and phones down, there's no way to communicate with anyone at the CIA. On their latest mission to save the world, Ben and his friends face a conniving villain, assassins, pirates, sharks, and very big lizards in the most remote--and deadly--location of any spy school yet!

  • Running a bakery is no cakewalk for a tiny dragon with a big sweet tooth! Tummy rumbles turn to belly laughs in this feel-good picture book from the bestselling author and illustrator of The Bakery Dragon.

    Batter up!

    Ember is in charge while the baker takes a trip and he's excited to show what he can do! When an opinionated fairy princess swoops in demanding a cake, he eagerly agrees. So what if he's only baked bread before? How hard can it be?

    The sugar hits the fan when Ember's first attempt is a complete disaster. He tries again and again, but the royal customer is not happy. Everyone told Ember he was such a good baker, so why can't he get this right? If he doesn't figure it out soon, the only thing on the menu will be humble pie.

    Magic shimmers on every page of this whimsical story about how to bake a cake, make new friends and learn from your mistakes.

  • Obsession and persistence warp reality in this collection of macabre stories set in Junji Ito's bloodcurdling world.

    A dark evil lurks in the unreachable depths of a pipe, groaning out moans that echo through the house of a germophobe mother and her daughters. In another tale, flowers blooming in the shape of eyeballs are only the beginning of the strange phenomena surrounding a mysterious transfer student. Could he have supernatural abilities? Also, a man in a village deep in the mountains shares memories of his wife. What happened to her after she said she would give freely of her blood?

    Legendary horror author Junji Ito presents six stories that will make your blood run cold!
