Summary

How do we know we are real and not just some character in an elaborate game?
In the virtual world of Saga, Ghost is a fifteen-year-old airboarding anarcho-punk, with no past, no memories, only a growing realisation of her own strange abilities. But who is she really and why is she becoming embroiled in a battle with the warped leader of Saga -- the Dark Queen? How have Erik and Cindella Dragonslayer fared since their adventures in Epic?
And what happens if you dare to reach outside your world, or to question your identity? Is that simply the road to madness, death and destruction?
Praise for  Epic , Cindella Dragonslayer's first adventure:

'The most important Irish novel of the year.' Sunday Independent

Eleven-year-old Amar’e Stoudemire has had a lot of success playing in tournaments and street ball. But now it’s time to try out for his school’s team.

Amar’e must deal with helping his team in a different way than he’s used to . . .  
 
Based on the life of All-Star NBA sensation Amar’e Stoudemire, who overcame many obstacles to become one of the most popular figures in sports today, this is a great read packed with basketball action. 
 
“A series of chapter books that celebrate sports, smarts and friendship . . . Amar’e is a likable protagonist.” —Kirkus Reviews
