Synopsis

In Louisa May Alcott's enchanting novella, "Marjorie's Three Gifts," readers are invited into the world of a perceptive young girl as she learns important life lessons centered around kindness, generosity, and self-discovery. Set against a backdrop of quintessential New England charm, the narrative weaves realism with elements of moral didacticism, characteristic of Alcott's literary style. Through vivid characterization and lyrical prose, Alcott captures the essence of childhood innocence and the transformative power of giving, a theme reflective of her broader body of work that often grapples with the intersection of personal virtue and societal obligation. Alcott, known primarily for her landmark novel "Little Women," drew from her own experiences and progressive beliefs as an advocate for women's rights and social reform. Raised in a transcendentalist household, where ideals of personal integrity and moral responsibility were deeply instilled, Alcott's narratives often echo her desire to promote empathy and resilience in youth. "Marjorie's Three Gifts" serves as an additional lens to explore these values through the whims of a child's perspective, providing insight into Alcott's influence and legacy. This novella is highly recommended for readers seeking an uplifting tale that not only entertains but also imparts valuable lessons about altruism and personal growth. Alcott's adept storytelling and poignant observations enhance the reading experience, making it a perfect choice for both young readers and adults seeking to revisit the timeless virtues celebrated in her works.

The thrilling conclusion to the epic middle grade fantasy trilogy from Katherine Applegate, the New York Times bestselling and Newbery Award-winning author of The One and Only Ivan (now a major motion picture!), The One and Only Bob, Wishtree, and Crenshaw!  
In the beginning, Byx’s original quest was to discover if there were more of her kind, or if she was destined to become an endling—the last dairne alive. She did indeed find more dairnes, and along the way she also created allies among other creatures in her world, including humans, felivets, raptidons, and wobbyks.  
But Byx and her new friends soon learned that it wasn’t just dairnes in jeopardy of extinction, but that everyone was at risk. With the world in unprecedented danger, Byx must rally creatures of all kinds to lead a revolution.  
Katherine Applegate’s Endling series has so far earned a collective five starred reviews, and each of the prior books has debuted on the New York Times bestseller list. She once again delivers an action-packed middle grade fantasy with a unique setting, enthralling characters, and gripping adventure that is perfect for fans of Rick Riordan, Brian Jacques, and Tui T. Sutherland.

From USA Today and #1 bestseller Morgan Rice comes A CALL OF TITANS (Book #18), the eighteenth book in the bestselling series THE SORCERER'S RING. The series begins with A QUEST OF HEROES (book #1), which has over 5,000 five star ratings!

In A CALL OF TITANS, fifteen years of peace in the Ring are shattered when mysterious breaches appear in the magical Shield, allowing monsters to penetrate the kingdom's defenses. As Thor journeys north to investigate the disturbances, his young warrior son Guwayne struggles with living up to his father's legendary status—until a surprise attack on the kingdom forces him to prove his worth.

But dark forces are at work within the Ring itself, as a cabal of nobles who have long plotted against the royal family seize their opportunity. With Thor facing unexpected dangers in the north, Gwendolyn must make impossible choices to protect her family and the realm she loves. 

As threats converge from all directions, the royal family finds itself separated, with the future of the kingdom hanging in the balance—and each of them forced to face their greatest challenges alone.

With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, THE SORCERER’S RING is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and monsters, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders.

Future books in the series are also available!
