  How do you learn to be brave? 
   
   
   
  With his summer headed downhill fast, thirteen-year-old Justin faces a tricky choice—stand up to bigotry or let fear hold him back. When he's targeted by a bully, and a good friend stops speaking to him, Justin counts on help from Leroy Usher, the ghost whose magical carnival helped transform Justin's life after his father died last year. So this should be a breeze, right? 
   
   
   
  His expectations rise further when a mysterious message from Mr. Usher invites him and pals Darby and Naz for a midnight visit. Instead of a reunion, though, the kids find themselves transported through time to unravel a mystery that tore Mr. Usher's family apart. As Justin digs for the truth, he discovers that Mr. Usher faced challenges during his lifetime with courage . . . and without magic. But if courage is what it takes, Justin must learn to do what's right when everything's wrong.

  If only he had the courage to tell someone. Instead, he blows a major tournament on purpose. The problem is, winning that tournament was a ticket to chess camp, and now his summer plans are shot. 
   
  Enter Roxie, a girl he’s never met, who shows up at his door to tell him that he and his mom will be spending the summer in her “cat room” … what? 
   
  Before Milo knows what’s hit him, he’s living at Roxie’s house, where creepy cats rule, meat products are banned, and Roxie won’t give him a second alone. But when Milo and Roxie stumble across two people playing a mysterious game, they become determined to learn  
  the ancient game of Go. Between late-night library adventures and creating a Go club at their camp, Milo and Roxie form an unexpected friendship. But none of that matters if Milo can’t face his fears and tell his mom how he really feels.

  Finn McCool was born a giant with the gift of Celtic wit but—at least in his youth—is prone to bad luck. One day McCool will become the chieftain of Fianna hunter-warriors, and the greatest Irish folk hero of all time. But until then, he has some growing up to do. In The Green Hero, renowned mythologist Bernard Evslin recounts the tales of Finn McCool’s early years: his attempts to woo Murtha, the girl he fell in love with when he was just three days old; his torment by the Fish-hag; his struggles with the whims of the goddess Amara; and more.
