Sinossi

“The Horn Hotel,
“Pengellert.
“Friday.
“DEAR OLD MAN,
“Thanks for your note. I thought my description of the sewin fishing would fetch you, but I didn’t know you would rise so smartly, and propose to put yourself on the bank here next Monday. You should have a good time, for the water is just right after the floods, and the sewin are running. I saw two salmon yesterday in a pool, and the ‘Teal and Silver’ is the fly to fetch ’em!
“Unfortunately, we have a snag here. It isn’t in the water, as you might imagine, but in this hotel. Its name is Solly Hayes, and it is very rich, very high-and-mighty, and a perfect pig. Let me expound!

This sassy, diverse series debut for tweens is perfect for fans of XO, Kitty, The Baby-Sitters Club, and Julie and the Phantoms.
On the final night of summer camp, Tasha, Raelynn, Claire, and Billie get busted stuffing themselves with ice cream in the mess hall’s walk-in freezer. But when they slip away without being punished, they’re convinced the pink feather boa Billie put on to stay warm is magic.
Back at home, each member of Team Canteen tests the boa’s powers as they face their own challenges. When her little cousin moves in with her destructive dog, Tasha struggles to find her place inside her adoptive family. Claire’s scared the kids at school will find out how hard life’s gotten since her dad lost his job. Raelynn longs to be someone other than her sister’s twin. And with a hockey-obsessed family charting his every move, Billie’s worried he’ll never be able to share his dream of becoming a figure skater.
It’s going to be a rocky road from the start of the school year back to Camp Happy Hollow. Will the boa continue to protect Team Canteen, or will their friendship end up being the most magical find of all?
Alternating among the friends, Rocky Road is a smart, soaring celebration of the highs and lows of middle school, and the unbreakable friendships that see you through, no matter what comes next.

Phantom Threads in the Urban...

Hoang Nguyen

In the fogbound garment district of Spectraveil, where weavers stitch phantom threads from ethereal looms and ghost tailors fashion specters from the frayed edges of urban night, weaver Liora stitches a spectral thread with tailor Erebus, their weave haunted by fashions that bind the living to the dead. The threads, stitched in fiber vows and phantom-kissed seams, weave the district—or unravels it in ghostly tatters. As they sew through district-laced ateliers and thread-bound catwalks, stitched by spectral wardens and fashion rivals, Liora's weaving craft fuses with Erebus's tailoring haunt, unveiling a fogbound legend of phantom weave. When a frayed seam summons wraith wardrobes, they must stitch the thread to mend the night. In the phantoms of urban threads, where every fiber ghosts the style and every tailor haunts the cut, their spectral stitch becomes the fashion that cloaks the district's secrets.
