About The Book:

From Book 1: Daughter4254 used to think life in a community where art, music and names are outlawed would suffocate her creative spirit until she is left to rot in prison and realizes there is far worse.

Then she meets Thomas, a fellow inmate, who tells stories of the mythical mountain colonies where people have names and the arts thrive, and she finds a shred of hope. Together they plot an escape, knowing they'll die if they fail. Or worse, their consciousness will be taken by the MindWipe, leaving their bodies free for government use.

When nothing goes as planned, Daughter4254 must choose between using her mother's secrets of the rebellion to better the world she hates and following Thomas to the quiet life of freedom she has always craved.

About The Book:

Beatrice Walker thought she lived in a normal world—that is until she learned she’s a living hostel for an alien energy source, and apparently the answer to preventing extinction.

Bea has no memory of her last moments with her mother. The week they’d gone missing is a complete mystery. Suddenly moved back to her hometown with her father, Bea has rekindled her friendship with her two best friends—and seems to have caught the attention of an arrogant, yet gorgeous boy named Cash Kingston. But there’s more to Cash than his annoying attitude and good looks. Cash isn’t human, and he’s now in charge of protecting Bea from those who know what she keeps safe inside her: the energy source that once belonged to his murdered girlfriend.

Tensions mount as Bea learns her energy source must be paired with the one Cash holds to protect both their planets from an imminent threat. But what Bea doesn’t realize is there’s more to her than being human a host, that her feelings for Cash are not just a prophetic plan that will save their planets, and that the fate of everything lies in her choices.



This Rick Riordan Presents MG OwnVoices Fantasy tour runs for two weeks from April 1st-30th, will have one stop a day on a Blog or Instagram and consist of reviews, excerpts, & spotlights. Physical copies & eBooks available. There will be images for Instagram stops.

About The Book:

Aru Shah and her sisters--including one who also claims to be the Sleeper's daughter--must find their mentors Hanuman and Urvashi in Lanka, the city of gold, before war breaks out between the devas and asuras.

Aru has just made a wish on the tree of wishes, but she can't remember what it was. She's pretty sure she didn't wish for a new sister, one who looks strangely familiar and claims to be the Sleeper's daughter, like her.

Aru also isn't sure she still wants to fight on behalf of the devas in the war against the Sleeper and his demon army. The gods have been too devious up to now. Case in point: Kubera, ruler of the city of gold, promises to give the Pandavas two powerful weapons, but only if they win his trials. If they lose, they won't stand a chance against the Sleeper's troops, which will soon march on Lanka to take over the Otherworld.

Aru's biggest question, though, is why every adult she has loved and trusted so far has failed her. Will she come to peace with what they've done before she has to wage the battle of her life?

When a girl and her family travel four thousand miles from home, it's not your typical summer vacation. Everything is different on the Alaskan tundra--where the grizzly bears roam and the sockeye salmon swim--including the rules. A girl can do things she wouldn't, and couldn't, do at home.

She can wake up at midnight to work with her mom on a fishing crew. She can learn what it means to be an essential part of a team. She can become a braver, stronger, and ever-more capable version of herself. She can take her next big step.

She's ready for her first real sunrise.

About the book:

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.

About the book:

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off meets Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist in this romp through the city that never sleeps from the New York Times bestselling author of Since You’ve Been Gone, Morgan Matson.

Two girls. One night. Zero phones.

Kat and Stevie—best friends, theater kids, polar opposites—have snuck away from the suburbs to spend a night in New York City. They have it all planned out. They’ll see a play, eat at the city’s hottest restaurant, and have the best. Night. Ever. What could go wrong?

Well. Kind of a lot?

They’re barely off the train before they’re dealing with destroyed phones, family drama, and unexpected Pomeranians. Over the next few hours, they’ll have to grapple with old flames, terrible theater, and unhelpful cab drivers. But there are also cute boys to kiss, parties to crash, dry cleaning to deliver (don’t ask), and the world’s best museum to explore.

Over the course of a wild night in the city that never sleeps, both Kat and Stevie will get a wake-up call about their friendship, their choices…and finally discover what they really want for their future.

That is, assuming they can make it to Grand Central before the clock strikes midnight.

About the books:


THE TOOT FAIRY by Mark Huffman, Illustrated by Dawn Davidson (On sale February 9, 2021) 

IMPORTANT LESSON FOR CHILDREN IN WAKE OF COVID: In 2020, many college kids (and adults out of work) had to find jobs in fields where they did not necessarily attain a degree. The Toot Fairy starts the conversation early—sometimes unforeseeable circumstances create a need to shift course. Huffman teaches kids not to be discouraged, but to find another path, to do their best, and to see where it takes them. 

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE TOOT FAIRY:  
“A good giggle. In this day and age, it's fun to read something so... ‘refreshing!’"
Craig Smith, Award-winning and international bestselling author of The Wonky Donkey 

"Sorry, Walter the Farting Dog. I think it's fair to say that this is probably the best picture book about toots I've ever read. Take my advice, and put away your scruples. You shouldn't turn up your nose at this."—Betsy Bird, A Fuse #8 Production, School Library Journal 

“Wish I had thought of it first!”—Adam Rex, author/illustrator of On Account of the Gum 

“If there was one thing lacking in Dr. Seuss's work, it was fart jokes. Huffman has rectified this with a delightful children's book, equal parts Seuss and giggle-inducing fart humor.”—Kyle Mann, Editor-in-Chief of The Babylon Bee 

ABOUT THE TOOT FAIRY: Every fairy gets to throw a coin into the magical well one day and declare what kind of fairy job they want to have. Do they want to be a Rainbow fairy, in charge of making the shining colors after it rains? Or a Dream Fairy, to bring children sweet dreams while they sleep? There are so many important jobs to choose from! Jessa had always planned to say "tooth" when she threw her coin in the well. But when the day finally comes, she accidentally says "toot!" Now, instead of leaving coins for the teeth children have lost, she'll have to collect toots from all the butts in the world, and she's not too pleased about it. But her mentor, Poobums the Pungent, is here to tell Jessa all about the job, and about how even the most unexpected turn of events can turn out to be fun and rewarding! 

CHEESEMAKER DURDSDEN by Mark Huffman; illustrated by Dawn Davidson (Brown Books Kids; On sale May 4, 2021; Ages 5-8)  

PRAISE FOR CHEESEMAKER DURDSDEN FROM A CHEESEMAKER: 

"Huffman has separated the Curds from the Whey with an incredibly witty and entertaining story that children of all ages will thorough enjoy. The spirit of Durdsden, the Cheesemaster, who will do whatever it takes to succeed at making the perfect cheese is sure to make this book a classic." —Ed Townley,  President Cabot Cheese, holder of more than 150 International Cheese Awards. 
 
ABOUT THE BOOK: Cheesemaker Durdsden could hardly be called a cheesemaker, with how bland, rubbery, and flavorless his cheese tasted. And so, in order to better his skills and silence the critics, he went in search of any and every cheesemaking technique he could learn. Now he’s back with new skills, and some suspiciously delicious—deliciously suspicious—cheese to prove it. How could a man with such boring cheese before now make this tasty cheesy treat? You'd never have guessed it--Bigfoot's feet!
