Abstract: A mermaid, a firebird, and a witch become entangled with the mysterious and powerful Witch Queen, who may hold the key to each of their past in this epic middle grade fantasy by debut author Vivian Zhou. Atana’s island may be quiet and peaceful, but mostly, it’s lonely. With the outside world full of magic hunters who would stop at nothing to capture a mermaid like her, Atana has never been brave enough to swim far from her island’s shores and seek the answers to her mysterious past—until a firebird named Ren unexpectedly crashes into her life. Ren’s arrival does not go unnoticed, as it has been hundreds of years since a firebird last landed on Earth. Determined to both protect Ren and finally chase the answers she’s longed for, Atana embarks on an adventure that takes her and the firebird to strange new islands and entangles them with the powerful yet secretive Witch Queen. Generous though the Witch Queen’s offer of protection may be, an invitation to the Blue Palace can’t come without a price. And while the Palace’s splendid halls and library might hold the key to Atana’s past, will she be willing to pay the cost when it risks her chance of a bright new future?

Abstract: Gli abitanti della terraferma hanno sempre avuto paura della magia. Anche adesso che l’Isola delle Streghe è stata trasformata in una graziosa meta turistica, relegando la magia a piccoli incantesimi innocui. Tana è una strega, e il suo destino è stato pianificato fin dalla sua nascita: deve sposare Landon, il figlio del governatore della terraferma, suggellando così l’alleanza tra uomini e streghe. Durante i preparativi del matrimonio, in una notte di luna piena, Tana manca al rituale attraverso cui le streghe rilasciano il loro potere nell’oceano e diventano inoffensive. Tana sta per rassegnarsi all’idea di morire per mano della sua stessa magia, troppo forte per essere controllata, finché non incontra Wolfe. Il misterioso ragazzo appartiene a una congrega che credeva estinta e pratica la magia nera, il che lo rende l’unica persona in grado di aiutare Tana. Wolfe le insegna a usare la sua magia proibita, un tipo di magia che la fa sentire potente, viva. E che la avvicina irrimediabilmente a lui.

Abstract: Emsy has always lived in sunny California, and she’d much rather spend her days surfing with her friends or hanging out with her girlfriend than honing her powers as a fire elemental.

There, Emsy will have to master her neglected craft in order to find the killer . . . before her family becomes their next target.

Abstract: Edmund and the Childe were swapped at birth. Now Edmund lives in secret as a changeling in the World Above, with fae powers that make him different from everyone else—even his unwitting parents and older sister, Alexis. The Childe lives among the fae in the World Below, where being human makes him an oddity at the royal palace, and where his only friend is a wax golem named Whick. But when the cruel sorceress Hawthorne takes the throne, the Childe and Edmund realize that the fate of both worlds may be in their hands—even if they’re not sure which world they belong to.

Abstract: The witch and her cat fly happily over forests, rivers and mountains on their broomstick until a stormy wind blows away the witch's hat, bow and wand. Luckily, they are retrieved by a dog, a bird and a frog, who are all keen for a ride on the broom. It's a case of the more, the merrier, but the broomstick isn't used to such a heavy load and it's not long before...SNAP! It breaks in two! And with a greedy dragon looking for a snack, the witch's animal pals better think fast. A very funny story of quick wits and riendship, The Room on the Broom is another smash hit from the unparalleled picture-book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo.
