Can a guarded gamer girl lower her shield for a new friend… or more-than-friend? "EARNEST AND LAUGH-OUT-LOUD... PITCH PERFECT."—Publishers Weekly, starred review Thirteen-year-old Ingrid’s been living a double life. At school, she’s her popular friend Rachel’s charity case. Online, things are different: she crushes it in her favorite MMORPG, geeks out in her favorite fantasy fandom, and runs a popular social media account. If only real life were that easy. But when Ingrid finally stands up to Rachel, it suddenly feels like she has no life at all. Until she gets a super-sweet wrong-number text from a mystery boy at her school. Spending time together gaming as “Stitches” and “Traveler” makes her feel like she’s really connecting with someone. But when she begins to suspect that Traveler may be a popular classmate who is WAY above her in the cool-kid food chain—and whose original text was actually intended for Rachel—she faces a difficult choice. Can they be friends IRL? She wants to open up, but getting close to people has hurt her before. Is making real friends only fantasy after all? Bye Forever, I Guess is the fresh, funny, and deeply sweet middle-grade debut of New York Times bestselling author Jodi Meadows (MY LADY JANE). Speaking to the messiness of middle-school friendships (and first loves), this is a warm, witty, enormously entertaining book—and a love letter to geek culture, gaming, and the healing power of fantasy. "HILARIOUS... Charming, funny, and endearing."—Kirkus Reviews "The most DELIGHTFUL middle-grade romcom I''ve ever read!"—Ellen Oh, award-winning author of Finding Junie Kim A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year • A Bookshop.org Best Children''s Book of the Year • An American Booksellers Association Indie Next Selection

My Lady Jane fixed Jane Grey’s tragic past—and now My Salty Mary will do the same for the infamous pirate Mary Read! Perfect for fans of The Princess Bride and A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, New York Times bestselling authors Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows are back with a fantastical, romantical, and piratical historical fantasy remix that marries the story of The Little Mermaid with the life and times of infamous lady pirate Mary Read. Don''t call this mermaid "little"—call her "captain," unless you want to walk the plank. Mary is in love with the so-called prince of Charles Town, except he doesn''t love her back. Which is inconvenient. Since she''s a mermaid, being brokenhearted means she''ll—poof!—turn into sea-foam. But instead, Mary finds herself pulled out of the sea and up onto a pirate ship. To survive, she joins them. But Mary isn''t willing to just sing the yo-ho-hos. She wants the pirate life, all of it, and she''s ready to make a splash . . . by becoming captain. But when Blackbeard dies suddenly, Mary has a chance to become so much more: Pirate King . . . or Queen. She won''t let anyone stop her—not Blackbeard''s cute son, not her best friend from back under the sea who''s having a bit too much fun with his new legs, and certainly not everyone who says she can''t be a pirate just because she''s a girl. She may not be the best man for the job, but she''ll definitely prove that she''s worth her salt. And don’t miss the Prime Video streaming hit My Lady Jane!

El esperado final de la bilogía "El ciclo de Salvación" El ciclo se cierra, y el mundo será salvado... o arderá hasta los cimientos. La fina membrana mágica que separaba el plano humano del demoníaco ha sido destruída. Noctámbula, la guerrera inmortal de los dioses, debe encontrar la manera de reconstruirla, pero Hanne (ambiciosa y traicionera, demasiado astuta como para confiar en ella) se ha convertido en la Gran Reina, y no ve más allá de sus propias ansias de poder. Mientras, Rune (casado con Hanne, pero enamorado de Noctámbula) está perdido en el plano demoníaco tras una desastrosa batalla. Solo, deambula por ese paraje de mares de mercurio y torreones de cristal negro donde el viento no arrastra más que ceniza.

Edward est le roi d’Angleterre. Accessoirement, il est aussi mourant. Jane, sa cousine, est sur le point de se marier et, le moins que l’on puisse dire, c’est que ça ne lui fait pas plaisir. Gifford est son futur époux. Il est également un cheval, la moitié du temps. Il fait partie des Edians, ces individus capables de se transformer en animaux. Pris au piège d’un complot qui les dépasse, ils vont devoir s’allier pour sauver l’Angleterre – et leur tête. Un roman de fantasy qui revisite l’histoire avec un humour mordant ! « Une fantasy historique désopilante à ne pas manquer. » – Publishers Weekly « Ce roman de fantasy et d’aventure tire poliment son chapeau à l''histoire avant de l''écarter joyeusement. Un vrai régal. » – Booklist « Une comédie joyeusement anachronique. » – Kirkus Reviews « Les Tudors rencontrent les Monty Python. » – Tahereh Mafi, autrice de la série Insaisissable, best-seller du New York Times.

The king is dead. The world is lost. Long live the queen. The thin membrane of magic separating the human and demonic planes has been destroyed. Nightrender, the immortal warrior of the gods, must find a way to rebuild it, but Hanne—the serpent girl, always too cunning to be trusted, too hungry for power—has become High Queen, and is too consumed with ambition to cooperate. Meanwhile, Rune—married to Hanne, but in love with Nightrender—is lost in the realm of demons after a disastrous battle, wandering alone in a twisted landscape of mercury seas, black-glass spires, and winds blowing ash … In this second and final installment of the Nightrender duology, the circle will close, and the world will be saved—or burnt to a cinder.

Caerán reinos, morirán dioses y se romperán corazones en esta nueva saga de fantasía creada por la autora superventas Jodi Meadows. En Salvación, la realidad se distorsiona. Desaparecen pueblos. Hay bosques que arden sin descanso. Hay zonas donde el tiempo se deforma, cuyos límites están señalados por unos lazos amarillos. Una amenaza diabólica se abre paso lentamente a través de las costuras más endebles del mundo. Sin embargo, los humanos no muestran mucho interés. Su mayor preocupación es el inminente matrimonio de Rune Highcrown y Johanne Fortuin, herederos de reinos enfrentados desde hace generaciones. Mientras que la astuta Johanne traza sus propios planes para la alianza, Rune ha advertido el avance de la oscuridad y está decidido a invocar a la única defensora posible: Noctámbula, una guerrera inmortal que tiene más de diosa que de persona. Solo hay un problema. La última vez que la invocaron, Noctámbula masacró a toda la realeza. ¿Salvará esta vez a la humanidad, o terminará con ella antes que la magia oscura que debería erradicar?

It’s aliiiiiiiive! The New York Times bestselling authors of My Lady Jane present an electric, poetic, and (almost) historical tale of the one and only Mary Shelley—perfect for YA fantasy and romance readers. Mary may have inherited the brilliant mind of her late mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, but she lives a drab life above her father’s bookstore, waiting for an extraordinary idea that’ll inspire a work worthy of her parentage—and impress her rakishly handsome (and super-secret) beau, Percy Shelley. Ada Lovelace knows a thing or two about superstar parents, what with her dad being Lord Byron, the most famous poet on Earth. But her passions lie far beyond the arts—in mechanical engineering, to be exact. Alas, no matter how precise Ada’s calculations, there’s always a man willing to claim her ingenious ideas as his own. Pan, a.k.a. Practical Automaton Number One, is Ada''s greatest idea yet: a machine that will change the world, if only she can figure out how to make him truly autonomous . . . or how to make him work at all. When fate connects our two masterminds, Mary and Ada learn that they are fae—magical people with the ability to make whatever they imagine become real. But when their dream team results in a living, breathing, thinking PAN, Mary and Ada find themselves hunted by a mad scientist who won''t stop until he finds out how they made a real boy out of spare parts. With comic genius and a truly electrifying sense of adventure, Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows continue their campaign to turn the classics on their head in this YA fantasy that’s ideal for fans of Frankenstein and The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue.

Sai pra lá, Charlotte Brontë! As autoras do best-seller Minha Lady Jane estão de volta com uma irreverente releitura do clássico Jane Eyre, em Minha simples Jane – uma história de romance, travessuras e desordem sobrenatural, perfeita para fãs de A princesa prometida e O guia do cavalheiro para o vício e a virtude. Inglaterra, 1834. O Rei William IV ascende ao trono e corta o financiamento que a Coroa concedia à Sociedade Real para Realocação de Espíritos Instáveis, formada havia anos pelo Rei George III (ou "George, o rei louco", que via e conversava com fantasmas). O acontecimento, é claro, foi malvisto pelo presidente da Sociedade, criando uma inimizade entre ele e o novo rei. É nesse cenário instável que encontramos a jovem cuja história você julga conhecer. Órfã e sem nenhum tostão, Jane Eyre foi enviada à Thornfield Hall para ser tutora de uma adorável criança. Mas nossa simples Jane, que tem um péssimo gosto para homens – se liga, Sr. Rochester! –, acaba se tornando amiga de uma mulher fantasma que suportou anos de infortúnio. Outra de suas amigas é Charlotte Brontë (sim, a autora!), que está determinada a registrar a história de Jane, mesmo que isso signifique se infiltrar na caçada-fantasma mais épica de todas. Mas o agente Alexander Blackwood, da famigerada Sociedade, está prestes a descobrir que algo perturbador ocorre em Thornfield. Um conselho? Prepare o coração para essa história cheia de assassinato, desordem, traição e romance! ___________________________________________________ "Leitura prazerosa. Uma divertida e sobrenatural mistura de diferentes romances, mas que brilha por mérito próprio." Kirkus Reviews

Kingdoms will fall, gods will die, and hearts will be broken in this sprawling new fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Jodi Meadows. "INTRICATE... UNIQUE... COMPELLING."—YA Books Central In the middle of nothingness is the Island of Salvation. Reality bends easily here. Villages disappear. Forests burn forever. Pockets of inconsistent time are everywhere, their boundaries strung with yellow ribbon. And the three kingdoms of Salvation have been at war for a thousand years. But the greatest threat is the Malice, an incursion from the demon plane slowly tearing its way through the world’s weakest seams. Seams that—once split—will lead to the total unraveling of night and day, light and dark, life and death. Not that the human world takes much interest. Of more concern is the upcoming marriage of Rune Highcrown, Prince of Caberwill, and Johanne Fortuin, Princess of Embria—the serpent bride, a girl of famous cunning—which offers a possible end to the ancient conflict. But Rune has noticed the growing darkness, and he is determined to summon mankind’s only defense: Nightrender, the hammer of the gods, an immortal warrior more weapon than girl. There is only one problem. The last time she was summoned, she slaughtered every royal in Salvation, and no one knows why. Will she save humanity from the Malice… or plunge it deeper into the fires of eternal war? A YAVA Award Nominee!

Hold on to your hats: The authors who brought you the New York Times bestseller My Plain Jane, which Booklist praised as “delightfully deadpan” (starred review) and Publishers Weekly called “a clever, romantic farce” (starred review), are back with another irreverent historical adventure—perfect for YA fantasy and romance readers. Welcome to 1876 America, a place bursting with gunslingers, outlaws, and garou—better known as werewolves. And where there are garou, there’re hunters: the one and only Calamity Jane, to be precise, along with her fellow stars of Wild Bill’s Traveling Show, Annie Oakley and Frank “the Pistol Prince” Butler. After a garou hunt goes south and Jane finds a suspicious-like bite on her arm, she turns tail for Deadwood, where there’s talk of a garou cure. But rumors can be deceiving—meaning the gang better hightail it after her before they’re a day late and a Jane short. In this next read for fans of A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, bestselling authors Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows, and Brodi Ashton bring their signature spark to the side-splittin’, whopper-filled (but actually kind of factual?) tale of Calamity Jane.
