Cornerstone The Mermaid Moon
Book SynopsisIn this magical picture book perfect for all young mermaid lovers, two best friends--one who lives on land, the other in the water--share an exciting adventure on the night of the Mermaid Moon: the one time each year mermaids can leave the sea.Once, there were two best friends. One was from the sea, a mermaid named Merrin, and one was from the land, a human named Molly. Of course Merrin has never been to Molly's house; how can she visit when she must stay underwater? But then comes the night of the Mermaid Moon, when sea creatures can fly through the air! And this year, Merrin is finally old enough to join in. Together she and Molly visit the Mermaid Moon festival, eat ice cream, and ride on a swing in Molly's backyard. But when it is time for Merrin to leave--the moon is sinking toward the sea--she is unable to get down from a tree the girls have climbed. And if she doesn't get back home before the moon sets, the Mermaid Moon magic will disappear from the earth forever. Here is a delightful and dramatic picture book that makes every girl's dream of being friends with a mermaid come true!

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewPraise for THE THICKETY: WELL OF WITCHES: "This intriguing adventure set in an intriguing world will keep readers riveted; series fans, beware: do not start this book close to bedtime." -- Kirkus Reviews "For fans, this is a sharp, moving, intense dive into a lushly described world that seems to be headed for a good versus evil showdown in a future volume." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Praise for THE THICKETY: THE WHISPERING TREES: "The Thickety: The Whispering Trees is a thrilling sequel: a whirlwind of suspense and twists. J.A. White isn't just a fantastic writer and storyteller-he spins myths that feel as old as the Thickety itself. A must-read series for every age." -- Soman Chainani, New York Times bestselling author of The School for Good and Evil "With a plot that coils like a tangle of brambles and an ending no less twisty than that of its predecessor, this sequel will keep readers invested in Kara and Taff's adventures in this dangerous and imaginative world." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The twisted plot is perfectly matched by the twisted atmosphere... Spine-tingling." -- Booklist (starred review) "An exceptionally well-written and compelling sequel." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) "This title has all the ingredients-a doughty heroine and her admirable younger brother, an unreliable guide who can't stay the same age for long, and a heavy "ick" factor-to keep readers glued to it. The unexpected climax and ending guarantee another book to enjoy." -- Kirkus Reviews "This title will appeal to fans of the first volume in the series, as well as to those who enjoy their fantasy a little on the scary side. This is a good series to suggest to fans of Joseph Delaney's Last Apprentice series." -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) "The nail-biting suspense will keep readers turning the pages late into the night, and in Kara, readers will find a protagonist to root for. Readers who enjoyed the spine-chilling first installment will be eager to get their hands on this sequel." -- School Library Journal Praise for THE THICKETY: A PATH BEGINS: "The spellbinding story, lashings of suspense and stalwart heroine will draw in fantasy fans and keep them reading until the bitter ending." -- Kirkus Reviews "White's debut novel is darkly bewitching. The well-crafted characters operate beautifully within the fantastical world he has created. Readers will devour each twist and turn of the plot, right up to the startling conclusion." -- School Library Journal "A startling plot twist at the end will have readers urgently waiting for a sequel, and it may lead them right back into the book to see if they missed earlier clues." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "The Thickety may give you nightmares, but it is a gripping story with a great heroine." -- Angie Sage, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Septimus Heap series "The Thickety is a sinister, magical debut with a marvelous and shocking heroine. J.A. White's elegant writing and masterful plot kept me turning pages late into the night." -- Lisa McMann, author of the New York Times bestselling The Unwanteds series

Book SynopsisTrade Review“A joy to read!" — New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix "A captivating tale filled with monsters, marvels, and misadventures, Frances and the Monster is gripping, inventive, and deeply moving. Tuma’s middle-grade debut is a harrowing and heartfelt tribute to owning your scars and learning to turn them into stars." — Alysa Wishingrad, author of The Verdigris Pawn "This book has twists, turns, and surprises galore…And the ending, holy moly! No spoilers here, but this is the kind of book you'll want to talk about with a friend." — Ben Gartner, author of The Eye of Ra series “Bursting with wry humor and references to Frankenstein, Tuma’s (the What the Dinosaurs Did series) idiosyncratic, utterly original tale moves at breakneck speed …while injecting considered discussions of modern themes such as gender roles and privilege.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) “[Frances’] memorable adventure, with strong echoes of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, plays out against a colorful background as she confronts who she is in a truly shocking finale. A fast-paced and remarkably original tale.” — Kirkus Reviews This "remix" repurposes Frankenstein's plot points and characters into a madcap adventure, nicely balancing whimsy and peril...Frances is both a terror and a delight. The author clearly had a rollicking good time, and readers will too. — Horn Book Magazine
