A Kingdom Rises
by J. D. RinehartFamily secrets combine with fantasy in this epic tale of battle, magic, strange creatures, power, and fate, in this final novel in a sweeping middle grade series that Publishers Weekly called “Game of Thrones on a mellow day.”An ancient prophecy says that when three stars appear in the sky, triplets will take the throne and peace will come to the land. The stars have appeared, and the triplets are Gulph, Tarlan, and Elodie. But the prophecy appears to have failed. Tarlan saw Gulph die during a final confrontation with their undead father. Gulph fell from a burning tower and there’s no way he could have survived…even with Gulph’s special abilities. As for his sister, Elodie, Tarlan’s convinced that she’s a traitor who betrayed the rebellion and her family just so she could have the throne to herself. With nothing left to believe in, Tarlan’s prepared to abandon both the cause and his pack of wild animals, and head north. But appearances can be deceiving. And in a world of magic and deceit, mistaking lies for truth can be deadly.
Claws of Life
by Mike StoreyThe Teddycats are safe in Horizon Cove, but making it in the big jungle is even harder than they thought.The Teddycats made it out of Cloud Kingdom with nary a scratch, and it's all thanks to our hero, Bill. But adjusting to life in Horizon Cove isn't exactly easy, and the fact that the Teddycats know next to nothing about surviving in the wild doesn't help. Everyone's looking to Bill for guidance, but he's not exactly a wilderness expert himself. So what's a young Teddycat to do? Lucky for Bill, the Teddycats aren't the only animals in Horizon Cove: their new neighbors are a flock of odd but hospitable tropical birds who call themselves the Pets. The Pets are more than happy to help The Teddycats adjust to life in the jungle. They even agree to be their pampered new friends' survival coaches until the rainy season starts and they have to fly off to a drier climate. But then the telltale signs of rains come and go, and the Pets are nowhere near ready to leave. Bill doesn't want to rush his new friends, but the Teddycats could really use some more space to build dens permanent enough to withstand the rains. So he decides to investigate. And what he discovers is more chilling than the contents of even the meanest poacher's hunting bag. The Pets aren't who—or what—they say they are. And if Bill can't convince the Teddycats not to hang around any longer to find out the whole truth, they'll lose more than just their home. They'll lose everything.
