A sweeping historical saga that traces five generations of fiercely powerful mothers and daughters -- witches whose magical inheritance is both a dangerous threat and an extraordinary gift. Brittany, 1821. After Grand-Mere Ursule gives her life to save her family, their magic seems to die with her. Even so, the Orchires fight to keep the old ways alive, practicing half-remembered spells and arcane rites in hopes of a revival. And when their youngest daughter comes of age, magic flows anew. The lineage continues, though new generations struggle not only to master their power, but also to keep it hidden. But when World War II looms on the horizon, magic is needed more urgently than ever -- not for simple potions or visions, but to change the entire course of history.

"Step inside a different world, and follow the birth of a legendary witch. Her name is Darkess Goodspeed of the Vallencourt clan. Her prophecy was foretold on several occasions, one as far back as a thousand years. The planet is crying out for her help, and so are its many species--everything from the plants and animals, some of which are going extinct, to the humans and wizards, who would soon follow. Demons of all kinds are lurking about, powerful eggs await rescue, and danger hides around every corner"--Page 4 of cover.

Book your ticket to Magic Island, where the potions are brewed fresh daily, the beaches are perfect for creature-watching, and the fangs and fur are on full display. Since arriving on Magic Island, newbie witch Wren Winters just can’t seem to catch a break. Fresh out of the hospital following her near-miss with the wrong end of a wand, she returns home to discover that her magical status is in question—again—her new boss’s favorite snack is blood pudding (hold the pudding), and she’s the only witch in history to be allergic to her own familiar. When the next assignment for her gossip column takes her to the Snow Bunny Fashion Show to learn the real story behind the long-simmering feud between the show’s lead designer and the island’s most popular yeti model, Wren is determined to prove her worth as a reporter… and then keep a low profile as she awaits her fate before the High Court. But it seems the island has other plans. Thrust into a murder mystery that takes her from a mountaintop yeti community to an underground gnome hole, from the back of a magical polar bear to a leprechaun-run bank hidden beneath the ocean floor, Wren is once more on a quest for the truth. But as she soon learns, some secrets are better off left in the grave. Author's Note: Each book includes a self-contained mystery, but there are longer, ongoing subplots that continue throughout the series.

"A sure-fire hit with readers who love sports." -Booklist A fast-paced, heartfelt story for basketball fans that proves being a good teammate remains the most important quality in basketball--and in life, from New York Times bestselling author Mike Lupica. Wes' father always told him that there was only one ball in basketball. That you had to know when to take it yourself and when to give it up, that finding the right balance was key. So at every practice and game, Wes tries his best to be a good basketball player and, above all, a good teammate. As the season kicks off, Wes finds that not everyone on his team has the same idea. All-star player and the Hawks' point guard, Danilo "Dinero" Rey seems determined to hold the spotlight and the ball, even if it means costing his team the game. If the Hawks are going to make it to the playoffs, Wes will need an assist--even if it means his most important one comes off the court. In No Slam Dunk, #1 New York Times bestseller Mike Lupica demonstrates once again that there is no children's sports novelist today who can match his ability to weave a story of vivid sports action and heartfelt emotion. A touching story about teamwork and family, of selfishness and generosity, No Slam Dunk shows that even in the face of adversity, giving your best is the surest way to victory. Praise for Mike Lupica: -"Lupica is the greatest sports writer for middle school readers."--VOYA on True Legend -"Lupica will win a Pulitzer for his sportswriting one day (he should have won it already)."--The New York Times on Heat
