The Cane Chronicles

Since their mother's death, six years ago, 12-year-old Sadie Kane has lived in London with her maternal grandparents while her older brother, 14-year-old Carter, has traveled the world with their father, a renowned African American Egyptologist.

In London on Christmas Eve for a rare evening together, Carter and Sadie accompany their dad to the British Museum, where he blows up the Rosetta Stone in summoning an Egyptian god.

Unleashed, the vengeful god overpowers and entombs him, but Sadie and Carter escape. Initially determined to rescue their father, their mission expands to include understanding their hidden magical powers as the descendants of the pharaohs and taking on the ancient forces bent on destroying mankind.

Heroes of Olympus

After saving Olympus from the evil Titan lord, Kronos, Percy and friends have rebuilt their beloved Camp Half-Blood, where the next generation of demigods must now prepare for a chilling prophecy of their own:

Seven half-bloods shall answer the call,
To storm or fire the world must fall.
An oath to keep with a final breath,
And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death.

Now, in a brand-new series from blockbuster best-selling author Rick Riordan, fans return to the world of Camp Half-Blood. Here, a new group of heroes will inherit a quest. But to survive the journey, they’ll need the help of some familiar demigods.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth

Greg Heffley has always been in a hurry to grow up. But is getting older really all it’s cracked up to be?

Greg suddenly finds himself dealing with the pressures of boy-girl parties, increased responsibilities, and even the awkward changes that come with getting older—all without his best friend, Rowley, at his side.

Can Greg make it through on his own? Or will he have to face the “ugly truth”?

Beatly By Alex Flinn

Kyle has it all. Looks, money and popularity. But perhaps he has too much. He also has a very shallow personality. He uses people and doesn't care. He knows how to get by on his looks. He learned that from his father who is a very well known newscaster. Dad is so involved in his own life, that Kyle is pretty much left on his own. When Kyle meets a new girl in school, he decides to pull a prank on her. She is certainly no one that he would ever consider dating but he asks her to the big dance. He's planning on dumping her in front of everyone at the dance. But things go wrong. The new girl just happens to be a witch and she changes him into a beast. And now he is locked up, away from just about everyone and everything. And trying to come to terms with his hideous new appearance.
