  A tale of dragons and disaster that “masterfully blends fantasy, teen drama, and a strong message of environmentalism into a white-hot narrative” (Kirkus Reviews).   In small town Virginia, Chloe McClellan’s sophomore year of high school is rapidly turning into an epic fail. First, she becomes the target of the queen of the It-Girls in gym. Then, she’s struck by lightning . . . and that’s when things really start to get weird.   There are disconcerting gaps in her memory, and freaky weather seems to follow her everywhere. Either she’s going insane, or her accident has awoken a terrifying creature from mythology, triggering the final countdown to the extinction of humankind. Rising sea levels, droughts, earthquakes, tornadoes—far below the earth’s crust, imprisoned in ancient slumber, the elemental powers of the land grow restless . . .    Chloe finds unlikely help from a trio of male classmates: the captain of the football team, a flighty stoner with a secret, and an enigmatic transfer student who longs for the sea. All the while, she struggles with the growing realization that dragons exist, and she and her friends may be the only ones who can stop them.   In the first book in the epic new Tipping Point Prophecy series, global dragon mythology is reimagined against a backdrop of ecological disaster, high school angst, and the power of the human spirit when working in accord with the elements.   “A cautionary modern tale about climate change and pollution. The realistic, adolescent dramas buffeting [the] clever protagonist . . . are just as well-crafted as the passages on Chinese mythology and five-clawed, flying beasts.” —Slate

  Open this book carefully: as soon as you do, the wind will sweep you up across the city. You'll roam down empty streets, take a ride on the Metro and see magical things – but there's always time to stop and look about the world around you: the night, the rain, and the sea. These poems focus on everyday, small things – and breathe new life into everything that children see around them. A plastic bag dreams of becoming a cloud, raindrops go on holiday to the sea, and hats fill up with thoughts.
  The book builds an immersive, tender world – and through its gentle sense of humour and striking images it teaches children to look closely at everything they come across.. Suitable for children aged 6+.

  The Adventures of Sir Balin the...

  “[The] fourth of the light-hearted Arthurian Knights’ Tales . . . a 21st-century spin on the ancient legends” from the author of The Squire’s Tales (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).   Many years ago, the storytellers say, the great King Arthur brought justice to England with the help of his gallant knights of the roundtable. While most of King Arthur’s knights freely chose a life of duty, for Sir Balin the Ill-Fated, destiny was foretold in a prophecy. And seriously, “ill-fated” is right there in his title, so Balin’s not surprised when things go sour. Still, no matter how dire the task, a loyal and gallant knight never refuses adventure! Will Sir Balin finally discover his true destiny? And which ill-fated path will he have to choose? Join Balin on this, the noblest quest of all.   “Lots of humor, wordplay, and numerous twists and turns.” —School Library Journal  Praise for The Knights’ Tales series   “With his quirky sense of myth and legend and tongue-in-cheek humor, [Morris] brings to life the court of King Arthur and his knights.” —Curled Up with a Good Kid’s Book   “The book’s brevity and humor make it accessible to reluctant readers, and it is a fantastic read-aloud.” —School Library Journal   “This trim novel, with simple vocabulary and brief, witty chapters, is an ideal fit for early readers . . . but fans of the legendary characters may find particular delight in this irreverent and unabashedly silly exploration of Arthur’s court and his most influential knight.” —The Bulletin   “This is often quite funny, and just exciting enough to capture the attention of budding young Arthur-philes.” —Booklist
