  A spectacular, not-to-be-missed paperback in the mold of the children’s classic The Golden Compass.

One Sentence can reveal the world most powerful secret: THE GLASS SENTENCE!

Mapmakers, law abiding pirates and a wayward botanist!! Interesting combo. That would be like my son, my daughter and their great grandmother all on an adventure- I wonder which one is which!

SHE HAD SEEN THE WORLD THROUGH MAPS.
SHE HAD NO IDEA THEY COULD BE SO DANGEROUS

Boston, 1891. Thirteen-year-old Sophia Tims lives with her uncle, cartologer Shadrack Elli, in a world torn to pieces by the Great Disruption of 1799—when all of the continents were mysteriously thrown into different time periods, from the prehistoric era to the fortieth century. Sophia’s parents are explorers. She has not seen them in years, since they went on an expedition and never returned. When Shadrack is kidnapped from their home, Sophia sets out—along with her new friend, Theo—to find him. Their journey takes them across the country. Along with a group of law abiding pirates, and a wayward botanist and his daughter, they search for Sophia’s uncle, and run for their lives. What they learn—about map making, the changes taking place in the world, and the legends of the land—transforms Sophia forever

"This story is fantastic. The world-building within is exceptional, and very unique. The details about each world are woven so solidly into the story that it's like riding a magic carpet - you can see and feel what it might be like to actually be there. The characters are also extremely well fleshed-out. Each has strengths and flaws, even those who may appear supernatural. The ultimate compliment I could give - they felt truly human, as though they might really exist somewhere-" Beth- Goodreads.com

It is just beautiful and thoughtful and profound.  Enter the world of Charlie's four unlikely friends, discover their story and their most important life lessons. The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse have been shared millions of times online - perhaps you've seen them? They've also been recreated by children in schools and hung on hospital walls. They sometimes even appear on lamp posts and on cafe and bookshop windows. Perhaps you saw the boy and mole on the Comic Relief T-shirt, Love Wins? Here, you will find them together in this book of Charlie's most-loved drawings, adventuring into the Wild and exploring the thoughts and feelings that unite us all.

A Disaster in Three Acts

 By: Kelsey Rodkey Location: FIC ROD Genre: Young Adult Romance Fans of Elise Bryant and Rachel Lynn Solomon will swoon for Last Chance Books author Kelsey Rodkey’s next romance, packed with snark, banter, and inconvenient crushes. Saine Sinclair knows a little something about what makes a story worth telling. Your childhood best friend refuses to kiss you during a pre-adolescent game of spin the bottle? Terrible, zero stars, would not replay that scene again. The same ex-friend becomes your new best friend’s ex? Strangely compelling, unexpected twist, worth a hate-watch. That same guy—why is he always around? —turns out to be your last shot at getting into the documentary filmmaking program of your dreams? Saine hates to admit it, but she’d watch that movie. There’s something about Holden that makes her feel like she’s the one in front of the camera—like he can see every uncomfortable truth she’s buried below the surface. Saine knows how her story’s supposed to go. So why does every m
