Ignite your imagination with this immersive fantasy read!

The #1 New York Times Bestseller

The Silmarillion is the core of J.R.R. Tolkien’s imaginative writing, a work whose origins stretch back to a time long before The Hobbit. This mythopoetic masterpiece is a must-read before you watch The Lord of the Rings on Amazon.

“Majestic! … Readers of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings will find in The Silmarillion a cosmology to call their own, medieval romances, fierce fairy tales, and fiercer wars that ring with heraldic fury… It overwhelms the reader.”—Time

The story of the creation of the world and of the First Age, this is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back and in whose events some of them, such as Elrond and Galadriel, took part. The three Silmarils were jewels created by Fëanor, most gifted of the Elves. Within them was imprisoned the Light of the Two Trees of Valinor before the Trees themselves were destroyed by Morgoth, the first Dark Lord. Thereafter, the unsullied Light of Valinor lived on only in the Silmarils, but they were seized by Morgoth and set in his crown, which was guarded in the impenetrable fortress of Angband in the north of Middle-earth.

The Silmarillion is the history of the rebellion of Fëanor and his kindred against the gods, their exile from Valinor and return to Middle-earth, and their war, hopeless despite all their heroism, against the great Enemy.

Here’s the set-up:

“There’s an oceanside helipad, futuristic research elements, and a nature preserve to pique interest…the academy is fun to explore…with its background tension set in motion via a missing climatologist and threats from shadowy figures, this is a fascinating start to a science-minded series.” —Foreword Clarion Review

“This book gave me all the best Spy Kids vibes and was full of fast-paced adventure…and that cliffhanger! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next in store for our Climate Action Task Force! I also adored the illustrations from artist Adrienn Harto!” –Beaches and Reads

Super Hurricanes. Raging wildfires. Boiling oceans. As global temperatures skyrocket, a two-degree rise becomes unavoidable. Is the next generation up to the challenge?

At the Climate Action Taskforce, solving the climate crisis is about more than just predicting the next superstorm. It’s about safeguarding the future of humanity. For its Academy, their secret mission is even more desperate, and when the founder who started it all mysteriously disappears, it’s a race against time to develop the brightest young minds of the century -before it’s too late.

For eleven-year-old genius troublemaker Jax Wilkinson, fighting back against bullies has cost him big time. Having pulled his last prank, he’s given an impossible choice when the authorities get involved.

No screens, no contact with the outside world… and no second chances. Can Jax make the cut?

Joining forces with teammates Grace, August, and Kylie, Team 19 must learn to work together to hack it at the Academy- and to survive a catastrophe beyond their wildest fears.

“…This story has potential appeal as it aligns with current trends in youth fiction… comedic dialogue and Harto’s black and white illustrations throughout the book are consistently humorous and engaging.” – Kirkus Reviews

Here’s the set-up:

This powerful, gripping thriller from a New York Times bestselling author shows the insidious nature of racism, the terrible costs of unearthing hidden truths—and the undeniable power of hope.

Safiya Mirza dreams of becoming a journalist. And one thing she’s learned as editor of her school newspaper is that a journalist’s job is to find the facts and not let personal biases affect the story. But all that changes the day she finds the body of a murdered boy.

Jawad Ali was fourteen years old when he built a cosplay jetpack that a teacher mistook for a bomb. A jetpack that got him arrested, labeled a terrorist—and eventually killed. But he’s more than a dead body, and more than “Bomb Boy.” He was a person with a life worth remembering.

Driven by Jawad’s haunting voice guiding her throughout her investigation, Safiya seeks to tell the whole truth about the murdered boy and those who killed him because of their hate-based beliefs.

This gripping and powerful book uses an innovative format and lyrical prose to expose the evil that exists in front of us, and the silent complicity of the privileged who create alternative facts to bend the truth to their liking.
