"McKechnie capably balances the characters' humorous antics with steadily rising stakes while Estrada's animated illustrations expertly utilize light and shadow to deepen the atmosphere of this promising series opener, a dual debut." - Publishers Weekly "Rich illustrations amp up the delightful eeriness with deeply saturated colors and a playfully rendered cast of ragtag characters who will leave readers eager for the next installment." - Kirkus Reviews Otto Normal and his mom have moved to Monsterton, but there's one problem --t hey're not monsters. In this hauntingly delightful, highly illustrated series opener, eleven-year-old Otto and his mom are newcomers to Monsterton, an island on the border of the Belcarra forest and a mysterious place called The Dark. Monsterton is picturesque and beautiful; it's an idyllic place for monsters to be themselves. There's Hamish and his brother Ben, who have been created and sewn together by their pirate father; the royal vampires, Red and Rose, who are followed around by their dutiful guards; Remi, a ghost girl who can appear and disappear at will; Darby, a quiet girl made entirely of slime; and Luck, a zombie who always she thinks she's right. There's only one teeny, tiny problem. Otto and his mom aren't monsters. As a human, Otto feels that he has to prove himself. After all, as Remi reminds him, he's so fragile. Along with Otto's new friends Hamish, Darby, and Luck, they set out to find the legendary White Pine Beach--a beach so mysterious, it's rumored to jump locations, never staying in the same place for too long. But what this ragtag team discovers is far more mysterious than a location-jumping beach. And when one of their number doesn't return home with them ... rumors swirl. Debut author Danielle McKechnie weaves compelling lore and storytelling with delightful characters brought to life by illustrator SimÃ3n Estrada, making this spooky and charming full-color novel with graphic novel inserts perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Five Nights at Freddy's.

'A MASTERPIECE OF MEDIEVAL DARK FICTION' Christopher Buehlman, author of Between Two Fires 'A WILD FEVER-DREAM OF A NOVEL - COMPLICATED, MOSTROUS AND BEAUTIFUL' Seanan McGuire, Hugo Award-winning author From the bestselling M. R. Carey comes an utterly unique and enchantingly dark epic fantasy fable like no other. This is the tale of Once Was Willem, who - eleven hundred and some years after the death of Christ, in the kingdom that had but recently begun to call itself England - rose from the dead to defeat a great evil facing the humble village of Cosham. Pennick for all its beauty was ever a place with a dark reputation. The forests of the Chase were said to be home to nixies and boggarts, and there was a common belief, passed down through many generations, that the castle housed an unquiet ghost of terrible and malign power. These rumours I can attest were all true; indeed they fell short of the truth by a long way . . . 'An incredible masterwork of medieval fantasy-horror, dark and twisted and burning bright with humanity. Once Was Willem is packed with magic, folklore, superstitious fear, and horrors that bring hope' Cameron Johnston, author of The Maleficent Seven 'Weaves a fable full of dread and wonder, a deeply intelligent and emotionally gripping story . . . A masterpiece of medieval dark fiction. I love this book. Highest recommendation' Christopher Buehlman, author of Between Two Fires 'A delicious blend of horror, fantasy and historical fiction, Once Was Willem gave me exactly what I crave most as a reader - the unexpected. That, and a main character I would fight to the undeath for.

Astounding, and I loved every moment of it - it had me absolutely rapt ' RJ Barker, author of The Bone Ships 'It's so absurdly fun and readable, you nearly miss the incredible use of language and lore. Lovable grotesques and ghastly villains populate a compelling folk-tale. Absolutely wonderful' Gareth Hanrahan, author of The Gutter Prayer

Practical Magic meets Bridgerton in this BRAND NEW witchy historical romance from Darcy McGuire 🪄 ‍ From the author of the beloved Queen's Deadly Damsels series. In a world where secrets are as dangerous as spells, love might be the most powerful magic of all... Clio Blair is a fire witch-gifted, defiant, and hiding more than just her magic. With the power to speak to the dead and glimpse their final memories, she's called in by her uncle at Scotland Yard to help solve the murder of Viscount Beachley. His ghost lingers, his wife is missing, and the trail leads straight into the glittering world of the ton... where Clio has no place. Enter Lieutenant General Thomas Grey: brooding, scandal-shadowed, and bound by honour to assist the investigation. He never expects to be paired with a sharp-tongued witch who walks with ravens and burns like fire beneath her skin. As they're forced into close quarters and dangerous secrets begin to surface, so does a desire neither of them can resist. But Clio knows a witch's heart is a dangerous thing to give away-especially to a man who swore never to love again. And Thomas knows desire alone won't protect her from the dead who would use her, or the living who would destroy her. Solving the murder may save them both-but surrendering to passion could consume them completely. Perfect for fans of Lucy Jane Wood, India Holton and Erin Sterling Readers LOVE Darcy McGuire!

Pre-order HIDE AND SEEK, the first standalone thriller from Chris Carter, coming July 2026! The 13th adrenaline-packed Robert Hunter thriller and Top Ten Sunday Times bestseller. 'Gruesome but utterly riveting – and all the more so for being at least partly true' Daily Mail 'Dark, chilling and full of clever little plot kinks designed to send the reader off on a wild goose chase – and succeeding' Crime Fiction Lover 'Prepare to be terrified' Crime Monthly When a routine autopsy on what looked like a straightforward hit-and-run leads the LA Chief Medical Examiner, Dr Carolyn Hove, to discover some puzzling inconsistencies, she calls in Detective Robert Hunter of the LAPD Ultra Violent Crimes Unit. Not only did Dr Hove discover that the death wasn't caused by a hit-and-run, but she also found indications that the victim had been severely tortured prior to death. What no one realises is that what Dr Hove has stumbled upon is just the tip of the iceberg and it will lead Hunter and his partner, Carlos Garcia, on the trail of a twisted and clever killer who hides in plain sight. A serial killer no one even knew existed – a killer who has always operated under the radar, expertly disguising every gruesome murder as an accidental death. But with no leads as to why the victim was targeted, the investigation comes to a standstill, until another body is discovered with an alternative cause of death. What becomes clear is that this serial killer isn't going to stop – unless Hunter and Garcia can get to him. But how do you investigate a murder when you have no victims? How do you catch a killer who leaves behind no crime scene? How do you stop a ghost who no one can prove even exists? Readers can't get enough of The Death Watcher . . .

Inspired by mathematician Ada Lovelace and physicist Marie Curie, this #1 bestseller from author Andrea Beaty and illustrator David Roberts champions STEM, girl power, and women scientists in a rollicking celebration of curiosity, the power of perseverance, and the importance of asking "Why?" Now a Netflix series! #1 New York Times Bestseller A Wall Street Journal Bestseller A USA Today Bestseller Ada Twist's head is full of questions. Like her classmates Iggy and Rosie (stars of their own New York Times bestselling picture books Iggy Peck, Architect and Rosie Revere, Engineer), Ada has always been endlessly curious. Even when her fact-finding missions and elaborate scientific experiments don't go as planned, Ada learns the value of thinking through problems and continuing to stay curious. Ada is an inquisitive second grader who was born to be a scientist. She possesses an unusual desire to question everything she encounters: a tick-tocking clock, a pointy-stemmed rose, the hairs in her dad's nose, and so much more. Ada's parents and her teacher, Miss Greer, have their hands full as the Ada's science experiments wreak day-to-day havoc. On the first day of spring, Ada notices an unpleasant odor. She sets out to discover what might have caused it. Ada uses the scientific method in developing hypotheses in her smelly pursuit. The little girl demonstrates trial and error, while appreciating her family's full support. In one experiment, she douses fragrances on her cat and attempts to place the frightened feline in the washing machine.
