    "The Lava Trolls - Flame Meets Frost" whisks us back to the volcanic heart of Iceland, where Sparky, the flame-wielding Lava Troll, embarks on an unexpected surface world odyssey. His fiery mishap catapults him into a snow-clad adventure, where the warmth of his heart meets the chill of the glacier Vatnajökull. 
Sparky encounters the Ice Trolls, whose frosty bowling alley offers a cool twist on camaraderie. His path then crosses with Mosi, a mysterious moss-covered Lava Troll with a knack for storytelling and a deep connection to the land. Together, they weave through a tapestry of Icelandic marvels, from geothermal springs to the aurora-lit night sky, discovering the symbiotic dance of fire and frost. 
Through valleys where horses run wild and skies where northern lights perform, Sparky learns the delicate balance of nature and the strength of community. His return to the underground is a triumphant fusion of newfound wisdom and surface world wonders, igniting a flame of curiosity among his kin. 
"Flame Meets Frost" is a celebration of contrasts, an enchanting blend of Sparky's fiery essence and the ice's serene beauty, a narrative that captures the spirit of adventure and the enduring glow of connections forged in the most unexpected of places.

    An unforgettable novel from the New York Times bestselling Gordon Korman. 
 
Link, Michael, and Dana live in a quiet town. But it's woken up very quickly when someone sneaks into school and vandalizes it with a swastika. 
 
Nobody can believe it. How could such a symbol of hate end up in the middle of their school? Who would do such a thing? 
 
Because Michael was the first person to see it, he's the first suspect. Because Link is one of the most popular guys in school, everyone's looking to him to figure it out. And because Dana's the only Jewish girl in the whole town, everyone's treating her more like an outsider than ever. 
 
The mystery deepens as more swastikas begin to appear. Some students decide to fight back and start a project to bring people together instead of dividing them further. The closer Link, Michael, and Dana get to the truth, the more there is to face—not just the crimes of the present, but the crimes of the past. 
 
With Linked, Gordon Korman, the author of the acclaimed novel Restart, poses a mystery for all readers where the "who did it?" isn't nearly as important as the why.
