  2024 Oregon Book Award winner 
  In this magical and chilling Coraline-esque retelling of the Japanese folktale “The Melon Princess and the Amanjaku,"" one girl must save herself—and her loved ones—from a deceitful demon she befriended. 
  Melony Yoshimura’s parents have always been overprotective. They say it’s because a demonic spirit called the Amanjaku once preyed upon kids back in Japan, but Melony suspects it’s just a cautionary tale to keep her in line. So on her twelfth birthday, Melony takes a chance and wishes for the freedom and adventure her parents seem determined to keep her from. 
  As if conjured by her wish, the Amanjaku appears. At first, Melony is wary. If this creature is real, are the stories about its destructive ways also real? In no time, however, the Amanjaku woos Melony with its ability to shape-shift, grant wishes, and understand her desire for independence. But what Melony doesn’t realize is that the Amanjaku’s friendship has sinister consequences, and she quickly finds every aspect of her life controlled by the demon’s trickery—including herself. 
  Melony is determined to set things right, but will she be able to before the Amanjaku turns her life, her family, and her community upside down?

  Given that there’s such little margin for error in a submersible, many submarine losses remain sources of intrigue and mystery, and few rival the disappearance of the Soviet submarine K-129 in 1968. The Cold War was in high gear, and under the waters of the world’s oceans, Soviet and American submarines were in intense competition, pushing the boundaries of new technologies. Some of these submarines carried nuclear missiles that carried more destructive power than all the bombs dropped by the U.S. Army Air Force throughout World War II, including the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Other submarines, the hunter-killers, were designed to find and destroy these missile-carrying submarines. All of these submarines engaged in their activities while aiming to avoid detection by the other side, establishing a clandestine conflict that was carried out far from the gaze of the public but still strategically vital. If either side could gain a notable advantage, it could abruptly change the fragile balance of power. 
  	Both sides lost submarines in the 1960s, but when the Soviets lost K-129 in 1968, it triggered one of the most interesting episodes of the Cold War, and something that reads like the plot of a techno-thriller. A race developed between the Americans and Soviets to locate the wreck, and when the Americans found it, they realized the submarine sunk in one of the deepest parts of the ocean, far beyond the depths at which conventional divers or submarines could operate. As a result, the CIA, aided by eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes, clandestinely began a lengthy and incredibly expensive project to build equipment that might allow them to recover and examine parts of the sunken submarine.  
  	That operation, Project Azarian, is still controversial over 50 years later.

  A single Arn, Quafijinivon, the last member of the race that created the Hork-Bajir has survived.  He has seen his entire people wiped out.  He has seen the Hork-Bajir enslaved.  Now, after a lifetime of planning and plotting, he wants to get his revenge on the Yeerks.  And he wants to atone for the problems the Arn have caused.  He is old and weak.  But he has something the Yeerks have reason to fear: the Ixcila, the mind pattern and persona of Aldrea-Iskillion-Falan.  Prince Seerow's daughter and one of the main characters of The Hork-Bajir Chronicles.  Dak Hamee's Ixcila did not survive.  Aldrea's Ixcila is a powerful thing for the Arn to have.  Because he's also learned that while Aldrea and Dak were alive they'd managed to steal and hide an entire transport of Yeerk weaponry.  And now Quafijinivon wants the free Hork-Bajir on Earth to have the weapons to fight against the Yeerks.  But he has to find the weapons first.  And only Aldrea would know where they are hidden.  The free Hork-Bajir notify the Animorphs of this Arn's arrival on Earth.  When they meet, Quafijinivon feels that Cassie is the best candidate for Aldrea's Ixcila.  Now, Cassie has within her own mind the mind of Aldrea.  She, the other kids, the Arn, and Toby (the young Seer of the free Hork-Bajir colony), must travel to the Hork-Bajir home world, locate the weapons cache, and help launch a new Hork-Bajir liberation movement.  One problem:  The Aldrea persona must voluntarily surrender its hold on the host mind or decide to push the host aside.  Did Aldrea's Ixcila choose Cassie because it sensed she was weak?  Or was Aldrea drawn to the truly strong memeber of the Animorphs?
