The Liars Society (2024)
Alyson Gerber
"If you were asked to join a secret society that claims to control the whole world, would you jump at the chance--or run the other way? In The Liars Society, scholarship student Weatherby and wealthy, privileged Jack have to grapple with that question even as they struggle to sort out truth, trust, tradition . . . and secrets of their own. This twisty tale will keep kids guessing from beginning to end!"

Frances and the Monster (2022)

Refe Tuma
"A joy to read!"

Unseen Magic (2022)
(Unseen Magic, book 1)
Emily Lloyd-Jones
"Unseen Magic is an enchanting read! What a fun tale of a lovably oddball town, an unexpected villain, a few unexpected heroes, and a girl who's braver than she knows. Oh -and a raven! And tea! All the kids who have ever wished to be a different person (and who hasn't?) will want to devour this story."
