This blooming good story is the 18th book in our popular Disney Fairies chapter book series, which features Tinker Bell's adventures in Never Land with her fairy friends. Lily has always thought of herself as a garden-talent fairy first and foremost. But after Tink challenges the other talents to think up new ideas, Lily discovers she's pretty good at inventing things, too, like her new flowers, the panglories. They grow anywhere--in dirt, on wood, even on rocks! But then little gray spots pop up, first on the panglories, then on other flowers, until all the plants in Pixie Hollow start losing their colors. Can Lily invent a way out of this new fix?

Born a daughter when she should have been a son, Elivya is drawn to sword and dagger rather than the niceties of her station. To her father's stone-faced Tuvrian, she is heresy incarnate, but Quintin's oath to House Lazerin binds him to obey and train her in the ways of combat. Her mother Nefira, a formidable woman with a mysterious past, arms her with another set of deadly skills that require no blade to employ: to observe, to manipulate, to move unseen. As the Persican empire closes in, determined to quietly supplant a king lost in his grief, Elivya will need every one of her hard-won skills - and allies - to set things right. BACK COVER: "Traitor. It is what they call me, still, in quiet circles and hushed conversations. There is little room for truth in the minds of ordinary men. Surely, I am what they say, accused and confessed by mine own lips. There are ghosts I will carry until the day I pass beyond this life to the far shore. Adulil knows, I am unworthy of His Mother's grace, but the crimes of which I am guilty are not the story entire." Pride is the signature trait of House Lazerin, and its young successor is no exception. In her unconventional position as a female heir, Elivya is raised with an equally unorthodox set of skills meant to help her navigate the dangers at Court and beyond. Securing an advantageous marriage, however, is not the only challenge that awaits her as she enters society. In Litheria, the city of light, heart of Alesia and seat of the royal House of Adulil, gossip is as dangerous to a young noblewoman as any assassin. As she navigates the nest of vipers that is King Amenon's Court, Elivya quickly realizes that her duty to her House may be the least pressing concern at hand. The calculated schemes of Persica, a neighboring empire bent on conquest, threaten to poison the very soul of her homeland, and in order to save her nation, she will have to betray it.

And this time she has her name in the title - something she's wanted all along. If you thought Lilly was funny before, you are in for a treat. So hurry up and start reading. Lilly can't wait for you to find out more about her.

Saint Faustina is well known for the revelations of Divine Mercy that she received from Jesus and recorded in her Diary. But few know that she also received many revelations from the Blessed Virgin Mary and enjoyed a special relationship with her. Now, in Purest of All Lilies, a prominent Marian priest with a background in Mariology explores St. Faustina's rich relationship with Mary from her love of Mary growing up in Poland to the many Diary passages that she devoted to the Mother of God when she was a nun. The reader learns how St. Faustina's father would begin each day singing prayers to the Blessed Virgin and of the family's special May and October devotions to the Mother of God. At the early age of five, the future saint would tell her mother of dreams she had in which she walked hand-in-hand with the Blessed Virgin in a beautiful garden. Along with St. Faustina's early devotion to Mary, the author shows us how the Blessed Mother taught her as a nun important lessons about suffering, purity of heart and humility. Perhaps most fascinating of all, this Marian priest analyses the poems that St. Faustina wrote about Mary and the metaphors she used to describe the Blessed Virgin, including flowers such as the lily, the rose and the violet.
