A pack of paints, a set of pens, and unlimited creativity throw two friends into an enchanted, fast-paced adventure. ZuZu's first summer without her best friend is looking pretty grim, until she meets new kid Andrew at a visit to the historic Mapleton Mansion. Together they stumble upon some enchanted art supplies and discover that the shapes they draw and paint can come to life. Their creations are harmless—but ZuZu and Andrew aren't the only ones with access to magic. Soon, nightmarish half-machine, half-living creatures begin appearing around town, controlled by a power-hungry "caster" with a sinister mission. It's up to ZuZu and Andrew to use their newfound abilities to protect their community. "There are deliciously chilling descriptions of scuttling, otherworldly creations and resurrections gone awry, but there is also delight to be found in enchanted artwork and blossoming friendships. A thrilling introduction to a newfangled magic."—Booklist "A satisfying, compelling adventure with an original magical construct and bright, appealing protagonists."—Kirkus Reviews "The magical rules created by Voskuil feel exciting . . . . This creative fantasy will move well with fans of Tae Keller's When You Trap a Tiger."—School Library Journal

Across town, Tunie and her pet bat, Perch, are working hard at the bakery and the local museum to support Tunie's ailing father. When a business tycoon's daughter is kidnapped, Peter and Tunie both decide they could do with some reward money; and after a chance meeting in the Ancient Egyptian Exhibit at the museum, they team up to solve the mystery together.

The new novel from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Icebreaker and Wildfire... As a chronic procrastinator, Henry Turner always knew his junior year in college wasn’t going to be easy. That was before he made ice hockey captain as well as landing himself in a difficult class with his least favourite professor. Thankfully, it’s then that Henry meets Halle, a fellow junior who he immediately befriends. Academic pressure has never been a struggle for Halle, but as an introverted people pleaser with a tendency to overcommit herself, she can’t help but offer to help Henry pass his class. In turn he offers to help make college life a little more inspiring – just the thing she needs as an aspiring novelist… Failure isn’t an option for either of them but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a little room for distraction… Not suitable for younger readers.

Durante la festa di fine anno accademico a Maple Hills, Russ Callaghan e Aurora Roberts prendono parte a un gioco alcolico che li porta a trascorrere insieme una notte di passione. Ma al mattino Aurora scappa via prima ancora che Russ abbia la possibilità di chiederle il nome completo. Nessuno dei due poteva immaginare che presto si sarebbero incontrati di nuovo al campo estivo, dove entrambi hanno deciso di prestare servizio sperando di sfuggire alle loro complicate vite domestiche. Russ non vuole affrontare le ripercussioni della dipendenza dal gioco d'azzardo del padre; Aurora è stanca di reclamare attenzioni e di essere considerata l'ultima ruota del carro in famiglia. Russ sa che infrangendo la rigida regola del campo "non si fraternizza con il personale" rischia di tornare a Maple Hills prima che l'estate sia finita, ma sfortunatamente per lui Aurora non è mai stata brava a rispettare le regole. Sapranno imparare a convivere pacificamente? O la loro unica notte insieme ha innescato un incendio che non possono spegnere?
