  A young boy must slay Fafnir, a shape-shifting ogre who has transformed himself into a dragon Fafnir lives with his family in a fortress-like house deep in the forest. His father, descended from an archdemon, shares the secrets of the dark arts with Fafnir and his two brothers. Regnir, the eldest, is a deformed dwarf who lusts after gold and relies on his cunning to get it. Hungering only for food, Oter, the middle brother, can transform himself into a bird of prey. The shape-shifting Fafnir desires to be feared, and when Odin, king of the gods, sets a trap with a treasure that tempts every giant, ogre, and dwarf in his domain, Fafnir becomes a dragon. However, he is about to confront an even fiercer rival: a mortal named Siegfried. This adventure-filled Norse myth is a powerful story of magic, curses, doom, and destruction featuring an unlikely hero whose perils are only just beginning.

  A creative kid with ambitious dreams of launching his own pet business starts babysitting the class guinea pig in this big-hearted story from an award-winning author. Rohan Murthy dreams of running a successful business like his creative and kind mom. When Mrs. Z announces that Curiosity Academy needs to raise money for a school garden, Rohan sees the chance to launch his dreams right away! He'll start a pet care company to help the people of Peppermint Falls look after their dogs, hamsters, fish, snakes, lizards . . . anything but cats. With hard work, some glittery posters, and the help of his friends from Mrs. Z's class, Rohan knows he can do a lot for the school garden.  His parents point out just one small problem: Rohan has never taken care of an animal before. They think he doesn't even like touching animals. (There is a reason cats aren't on his list.) To prove his parents wrong, Rohan volunteers to spend a weekend watching over Honey, the class guinea pig. But Honey appears surprisingly anxious, which makes Rohan nervous as well. When his big dreams meet his secret fears, what will Rohan do?

  Have you ever encountered an underwater marching band, a pig in a bathing suit, a pet orangutan, or a witch in a hardware store? Have you ever sat with a skunk in a courtroom, shopped for a dinosaur, or conversed with a Bupple, a Wosstrus, a Violinnet, or a Celloon? You will have, once you've read this exuberant collaboration from Jack Prelutsky and his "partner in crime" James Stevenson. 
  The "reigning czars of silliness" have once again teamed up to bring readers an irresistible collection of poems that will have tongues twisting, imaginations soaring, and sides aching with laughter. The result is genius, indeed.

  The Moon That Vanished

  David Heath has already paid the price for going too far. Once a daring Earthman captain on Venus, he now survives as a wrecked shadow of himself, marked by rumors of the Moonfire—a radiant mystery beyond the Upper Seas that few have seen and none have mastered. When pursuers, priests, and desperate companions force Heath back toward that forbidden light, the past he fled becomes impossible to escape. 
  Set against the lush, perilous oceans and swamps of Venus, The Moon That Vanished blends alien landscapes, obsession, and forbidden knowledge into a tense voyage toward transformation. Leigh Brackett builds a world of beauty and danger where love, power, and belief collide, and where the greatest risk is not death—but losing what makes you human. 
  Leigh Brackett was one of the most influential voices in classic science fiction, celebrated for her vivid planetary romances and emotionally driven storytelling. Her work helped define the pulp and post-pulp era with rich prose, dangerous worlds, and deeply human characters. 
  Beyond her fiction, Brackett was also a legendary screenwriter, contributing to films such as The Big Sleep, Rio Bravo, and the first drafts of the script for The Empire Strikes Back. Her ability to combine sweeping adventure with psychological depth made her a trailblazer in science fiction and a lasting influence on generations of writers.
