  Carnegie Medal winner Katya Balen returns with a stunning tale about a fractured bond between father and son – and the injured bird that helps to heal it. 
  When Noah’s dad visits from New York, he and Noah come across an injured nightjar during a walk in the countryside. Noah is determined to save the bird, but his dad believes they should leave it alone to let nature take its course. As father and son argue, it becomes clear that Noah is angry about more than just the bird. He feels abandoned and misunderstood by his dad, who has moved to the US and started a new family there that doesn’t seem to have room for Noah. Can they find a way to build a new relationship and rediscover the common ground between them? 
  In Nightjar, Balen presents a compelling narrative that explores the emotional turmoil of a teenager grappling with his parents divorce. The story, while short, is packed with themes that will resonate with many young readers, making it an excellent choice for reluctant readers. 
  For fans of Donna Barba Higuera (Alebrijes), Sharon M. Draper (Out of My Dreams), Kiran Millwood Hargrave (Leila and the Blue Fox), Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), and S. F. Said (The Outlaw Varjak Paw).

  Rescuing Zintaurus

  When an evil king threatens the destruction of Zintaurus, one dog, Kaytaiya, must undertake a heroic quest. But not in her own dog body! Magically transformed by the exiled Queen Ravenna into the body of a cat, she is sent to find the Little Plane that holds the key to the survival of her homeland, and bring it back by train. But everyone she encounters has problems of their own and needs her support. The train, Joe, must have his will restored, having fallen under the spell of the mind-numbing weed, false bliss blossom. The plane is in deep despair, having been involved in a tragic accident, and has lost the ability to fly. Freckles, the mysterious one-armed dog sent to help the travelers, is socially isolated and in need of a friend.“Rescuing Zintaurus” is a magical musical play for middle grades that the Chicago Tribune raved, “well worth a listen” and the Hyde Park Herald called, “charming…it should delight adults, too.” Through the writing of psychiatrist Bob Druker, ably assisted by acclaimed Chicago songwriter Steve Dawson, there is much to learn about depression, substance abuse, trauma, loss and healing. A final dramatic confrontation awaits in Zintaurus between the forces of good and evil. Can good prevail? Yes, if the travelers can overcome their individual post traumatic problems. Otherwise, Zintaurus and its Rock of Truth and the very concept of Truth itself will be no more.Overcoming trauma is one of the most timely issues at this moment in history. And Druker argues that it is intimately related to another very timely issue, the defending of individual truth within ourselves, and in the world at large.

  “An action packed fantasy sure to please fans of Morgan Rice’s previous novels, along with fans of works such as The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini…. Fans of Young Adult Fiction will devour this latest work by Rice and beg for more.”
  --The Wanderer, A Literary Journal (regarding Rise of the Dragons)
  
  “I await each release by this author eagerly and have never been disappointed!”

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  
  The #1 Bestselling series!
  
  SONG OF THE INFINITE is book #14 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS, a free download)! 
  
  In SONG OF THE INFINITE, the scattered heroes of the realm converge for one last stand against Queen Isolde's tyranny. Lyra, her certainty finally cracked by the consequences of her choices, faces her twin brother Kael across a battlefield where the fate of kingdoms will be decided.
  
  As Kyra rushes to save Kyle, Isolde prepares her ultimate ritual to absorb all crystal power throughout the realm. The armies of mountain, plain, and rebel giants unite, while the ultimate sacrifice is made to free Lyra from the last vestiges of shadow influence. In the final confrontation, as all paths cross and all powers converge, the twins realize what the ancients always knew but generations misunderstood – that the prophecy spoke not of opposition, but of balance.
  
  With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, KINGS AND SORCERERS is a sweeping saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, destiny, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders. 
  
  Future books in the series are also available!
