What if Wonderland was in peril and Alice was very, very late? Alice is different than other eighteen-year-old ladies in Kexford, which is perfectly fine with her. She''d rather spend golden afternoons with her trusty camera or in her aunt Vivian''s lively salon, ignoring her sister''s wishes that she stop all that "nonsense" and become a "respectable" member of society. Alice is happy to meander to Miss. Yao''s teashop or to visit the children playing in the Square. She''s also interested in learning more about the young lawyer she met there, but just because she''s curious, of course, not because he was sweet and charming. But when Alice develops photographs she has recently taken about town, familiar faces of old suddenly appear in the place of her actual subjects-the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar. There''s something eerily off about them, even for Wonderland creatures. And as Alice develops a self-portrait, she finds the most disturbing image of all-a badly-injured dark-haired girl asking for Alice''s help. Mary Ann. Returning to the place of nonsense from her childhood, Alice finds herself on a mission to stop the Queen of Hearts'' tyrannical rule and to find her place in both worlds. But will she able to do so . . . before the End of Time?

Welcome, little one. You have been chosen to join us, in the dark and in the light, in love and in cloth, in safety and in danger. You join us. Everyone thinks that Clark is too old to still play with stuffed animals. He''s almost eleven! Bullies target him at school while his mother tries increasingly un-subtle ways to wean him off his toys and introduce more "normal" interests. But Clark can''t shake the feeling that his stuffed friends are important, even necessary. Sometimes they move around in the night, and sometimes in the morning they look a little worse for wear, as if they''ve engaged in battle. And it turns out . . . he''s right. Clark''s dad is under attack by a nefarious, shadowy monster called a King Derker, and only Clark''s stuffies are able to fight him off. The problem is, no one believes Clark, and when his mom attempts to rid the house of stuffed animals to try to get him to grow up, she''s actually putting Clark''s dad and the entire household in mortal peril. Now it''s up to Clark''s grandma-made sock animal, Foon, to save the day. Luckily, being handmade by a loved one gives Foon extra battle points, but he''s still a brand-new stuffy. Does he have what it takes to rid Clark''s house of all its monsters? Told through both Clark''s and Foon''s points of view, Stuffed confirms every kid''s dream: that stuffed animals do have a life and a purpose, and that sometimes the most unconventional friendships are also the most valuable.

What if Rapunzel''s mother drank from the wrong flower? For as long as she can remember, Rapunzel has stayed in the tower, knowing her silver hair''s intense powers are dangerous, even deadly.

And soon Rapunzel learns that there may be more to her story, and her magical tresses, than she ever thought possible ...

No Stuffy has ever gone into the Darkness and returned.... Clark can’t wait to go away to camp this year. For the first time ever, he has actual friends to hang out with. Catherine-Lucille and D. A. will both be at Camp I Can with Clark, and C. L. has already promised to induct him into her exclusive camp club—the one for campers who know everything there is to know about the world of Monsters and how Stuffies protect kids from them. And now that he knows (or suspects . . . very strongly) that his grandma-made Stuffy, Foon, heroically saved his own father from a horrible fate, Clark is obviously bringing Foon to camp along with him. But once Clark gets to camp, he and his friends discover things are off. There are strange, gooey findings in some of the bunks, the adults are acting weird, and, worst of all, their Stuffies and dolls go missing right at the moment they need them the most—when they go on the intersession camping trip and end up trapped in a creepy old cabin. What Clark and his friends don’t know, and what the mighty Foon soon discovers, is that the Monsters have launched a revenge campaign against Foon—a campaign that entails sucking the very life out of Clark. Now it’s up to Foon to enter the World of Darkness and take on the Monster in charge in order to stop the plot and save Clark’s life. In the long tradition of Stuffies vs. Monsters, this one’s a battle for the ages—one that will certainly go down in Stuffy history.
