  From master of suspense author Margaret Peterson Haddix comes another page-turning stand-alone adventure perfect for fans of Cog and Bad Magic. 
  No matter what anyone tells you, I’m real. 
  That’s what the note says that Max finds under his keyboard. 
  He knows that his best friend, Josie, wrote it. He’d know her handwriting anywhere. But why she wrote it—and what it means—remains a mystery. 
  Ever since they met in kindergarten, Max and Josie have been inseparable. Until the summer after fifth grade, when Josie disappears, leaving only a note, and whispering something about “whatnot rules.” 
  But why would Max ever think that Josie wasn’t real? And what are whatnots? 
  As Max sets to uncover what happened to Josie—and what she is or isn’t—little does he know that she’s fighting to find him again, too. But there are forces trying to keep Max and Josie from ever seeing each other again. Because Josie wasn’t supposed to be real. 
  This middle grade thriller from Margaret Peterson Haddix delves into the power of privilege, the importance of true friendship, and the question of humanity and identity. Because when anyone could be a whatnot, what makes a person a real friend—or real at all?

  This undead collection contains: 
  1. Peter Green and the Unliving Academy  
  Fourteen-year-old Peter Green can’t remember how he died.  
   All he has are his pajamas, a silk tie, and a one-way bus ticket to Mrs. Battisworth’s Academy and Haven for Unliving Boys and Girls, a strange and spooky school for dead orphans like himself. 
  As Pete learns to fit in with his new supernatural schoolmates, he starts to discover his own uniquely undead abilities, and even begins enjoying his life after death...but he just can’t shake the feeling that he’s forgotten something (or somebody!) important. Somebody he left behind in the land of the living. Somebody he loved very much. 
  Somebody who’s in terrible danger.  
  2. Peter Green and the Skeleton Crew 
  Breaking through the veil that separates the dead from the living was just the beginning.? 
  Peter Green’s exploits in the world of the Unliving have earned him quite the reputation, but some are still questioning if he’s the real deal. In fact, he’s not too sure himself if his first great and successful adventure wasn’t just… a stroke of luck, perhaps?? 
  However, he won’t get any time to figure it out – his uncle needs him and two new friends to venture out on a mission. And not just any mission… Vicious pirates, killer, shape-shifting mermaids, and danger unlike any they’ve ever faced await Peter and his friends. Failure is NOT an option.? 
  3. Peter Green and the Desert Disaster  
  Harnessing true power requires a sacrifice. 
  Pete thinks he understands this... until he's forced to face the consequences. 
  Barely having survived his last adventure, it isn’t long before Peter Green is cast into peril once more. Thankfully, he seems to be getting a grasp of his “Other” abilities – his magic abilities – and it's starting to give him an edge in the battle against the victims of the otherworld. 
  But what happens when disaster strikes where it hurts him the most, and I placed his new best friends in great danger?

  Explore the latest science about sharks. Did you know that some sharks have friends? Or that there are sharks small enough to swim in a soup can? There are sharks who walk on land and others who make their own light. There are ancient sharks in the oceans millions of years ago, and new species who have just been discovered. Most importantly, did you know that most sharks are fighting for their survival? 
  A deep dive into the lives of sharks––their habitat, biology, habits and personalities. It also looks at the biggest threats to their existence from marine pollution and overfishing to bycatch and shark-fin soup. It goes beyond the bites and shares stories about people who swim with sharks and call them friends.
