Teeming with fantasy and magic, these incredible middle grade books are sure to electrify! Tune in for Inkworld: The Color of Revenge by CORNELIA FUNKE, The Last Dragon on Mars by SCOTT REINTGEN, and The School for Wicked Witches by WILL TAYLOR.
- Inkworld: The Color of Revenge by CORNELIA FUNKE: Five years have passed since the events at Inkdeath, peace finally reigns in Ombra where Meggie, Mo, Dustfinger and all the other residence live happy and carefree lives. Except for Orpheus, who after fleeing to the north spends his deprived days fueled only by his desire for revenge against Dustfinger and everyone who betrayed him. With Orpheus willing to use even the darkest spell the ink world has to offer, Dustfinger will have to figure out whether the words still obey him, or if he is the one who should be afraid of the pictures this time.
- The Last Dragon on Mars by SCOTT REINTGEN: The first astronauts discovered that space was already occupied, by dragons! One for every moon, planet, and star. When humanity discovered that Earth’s dragon had sacrificed herself to make their home planet habitable, they set their sights on Mars. While they won the war, the Mars dragon whispered a curse over Mars just before his death, dooming the planet. Lunar Jones, a boy born on Mars, runs a scrapping business, picking up valuable gear uncovered by storms. Until one day, a salvaging run goes wrong. Desperate to find shelter, Lunar goes underground in a restricted zone. What he finds there, buried in the Martian dust, might just be the only hope left for a dying planet.
- The School for Wicked Witches by WILL TAYLOR: In Oz, most children with magical powers are sent from the north, south, east, and west to renowed witch academies, where they are elevated and taught all the finer ways to be a responsible witch. But if you misbehave or thought to harbor darker magic? You're sent to the equivalent of witch reform school -- The School for Wicked Witches, ONLY! Ava Heartstraw has never even considered being wicked, but when she goes to take her entrance test for a witch academy, she doesn't get the reaction she's expecting and ends up as the first kid from the west to be sent to the School for Wicked Witches.
- The Empty Place by OLIVIA A. COLE: Henry's entire world shatters when her father goes missing in the forest on her 10th birthday. He reappears from the trees exactly one year later, unharmed and bearing a gift for her--a strange necklace. While everyone says his return is a miracle, Henry wants real answers to her questions. Wearing the necklace and carrying only a map, she enters the same forest that swallowed her father. There, she finds a world more incredible and dangerous than she imagined. The truth she's seeking isn't as simple as she hoped.
