Summary

In this spinoff to the New York Times–bestselling Goosebumps series, a tween goes to an amusement park and brings home an enchanted mannequin. 
 
Ray Gordon loves to scare his younger brother, Brandon. It’s not hard considering Brandon is terrified of everything—loud noises, roller coasters, and especially the wooden dummy, Slappy, that Ray got from the HorrorLand theme park gift shop. Then Ray’s parents warn him that he will not be able to throw his big New Year’s Eve if he doesn’t stop teasing Brandon. But strange, mean-spirited things keep happening to his little brother, and Slappy always seems to be around for it. Could that spell Ray read out loud actually have brought the dummy to life?

    Hera has been pushed to the edge. Her power, authority, and legacy have been tarnished time and again by the calloused actions of her husband Zeus, but with the birth of the demigod hero Hercules her shame has been laid bare for all to see. To reclaim her sovereignty, Hera is willing to risk her throne, and even her life, to see Hercules meet his end. To this end, she plots a coup on Olympus and embroils herself in an alliance with a monster beyond even her control. 
     Secrets are revealed behind every turn. Rivalries and alliances are made and broken as Fate tests the resolve of mortal and immortal alike. In the aftermath, the far-flung consequences of their battle will leave the deepest wounds and blood on the hands of the denizens of Heaven and Earth. 
      This is Greek Mythology as it should be, seeped in love and hate, thrill and tragedy. Now performed with vivid and intense narration, this tale follows the young Hercules as he confronts his greatest challenge. The battle looms, leading to an outcome that will change his life forever. 
     The Hydra is the first in Varan Merten’s Cycle of Hercules novels. Each book in this series features the most dynamic monsters in the journey of Greece’s greatest hero. Each of these creatures challenges the demigod in a different way and leaves a mark that he will carry for the rest of his days. Choice and Fate blur as Hercules regains his freedom from the Labors and sets out to reclaim his rightful place among the gods.

    "At the start of things, the elders say, 
    the universe was hushed and still. 
    The moon alone shone bright and round 
    in the star-speckled dark of the sky. 
     
    David Álvarez is one of the most extraordinary artists working today. His black-and-white illustrations have gained fame in his home country of Mexico and around the world. 
     
    Here, in Noche antigua (Ancient Night) David displays his immense talent with full-color illustrations for the first time. 
     
    Noche antigua (Ancient Night) is a twist on two Nahuatl traditions: the rabbit which the Feathered Serpent placed on the moon, and Yaushu, the Lord Opossum who ruled the earth before humans came, and who stole fire from the gods to create the sun. 
     
    Award-winning author David Bowles has written a poetic text – and carefully researched backmatter – to accompany David’s lush story. The book will be published simultaneously in English and Spanish editions, giving young readers everywhere the chance to savor this ancient tale in its most beautiful format possible.David Bowles"
