  From a #1 New York Times–bestselling author, a YA collection containing three supernatural thrillers about a teen girl with the power to raise the dead. 
   
  The Summoning: Chloe Saunders is locked up in Lyle House, a “special home” for troubled teens. Yet the home isn’t what it seems. There is definitely more to Chloe’s housemates than meets the eye. The question is, are they friends, or deadly enemies? 
   
  The Awakening: Chloe is a living science experiment—not only can she see ghosts, but she was genetically altered by a sinister organization called the Edison Group. Her new powers of necromancy are out of control and she’s running for her life with a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf, and a disgruntled witch—desperate to find help before the danger catches up with them. 
   
  The Reckoning: Caught between her feelings for a certain antisocial werewolf and his charming sorcerer brother, Chloe will do anything to keep herself and her supernatural friends safe from the evil corporation that is out to destroy them. Now that Chloe has a plan, the end is very near. . . .

  Welcome to the dark side of Camelot. The acclaimed author of Mortal Engines delivers a “powerfully inventive” re-creation of the King Arthur tale (Booklist, starred review). 
   
  Gwynna is just a girl who is forced to run when her village is attacked and burns to the ground. To her horror, she is discovered, but it is Myrddin the bard, a traveler and spinner of tales, who has found her. He agrees to protect Gwynna if she will agree to be bound in service to him. Gwynna is frightened but intrigued, for this Myrddin serves the young, rough, and powerful Arthur. In the course of their travels, Myrddin transforms Gwynna into the mysterious Lady of the Lake, a boy warrior, and a spy. It is part of a plot to transform Arthur from the leader of a ragtag war-band into King Arthur, the greatest hero of all time. If Gwynna and Myrrdin’s trickery is discovered, what will become of Gwynna? Worse, what will become of Arthur? Only the endless battling, the mighty belief of men, and the sheer cunning of one remarkable girl will tell. 
   
  “Nodding to canon and history while not particularly following either Reeve, like Myrddin, turns hallowed myth and supple prose to political purposes, neatly skewering the modern-day cult of spin and the age-old trickery behind it. Smart teens will love this.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
   
  “Is there room for yet another reworking of the Arthur legend? If it’s this one, yes . . . Absorbing, thought-provoking and unexpectedly timely.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)  
   
  “A multilayered tour de force for mature young readers.” —School Library Journal

  This story of two girls trying to banish a witch is “full of wonderful fun, excitement, and humor” (Library Journal).   Old Witch likes nothing better than to fly around on her broomstick, crying “Heh-heh!” and casting abracadabras. But now she has been sent away . . . by two young girls.   Amy and Clarissa have decided that Old Witch is just too mean and wicked. So, drawing a rickety old house upon a barren glass hill, they exile Old Witch there with a warning: She better be good, or else no Halloween! But to give Old Witch some company, they draw her a Little Witch Girl and a Weeny Witch Baby . . .   Old Witch tries to be good, but anyone would get up to no good in a place as lonely as the glass hill. And Amy and Clarissa are about to find that out, when Old Witch magics them into her world of make-believe-made-real, in “a very special book that is certain to give boundless pleasure—at any time of the year” (The Horn Book).   “A classic for Halloween.” —Library Journal
