Born to an unwed mother who abandons her as a baby, Rowan grows up possessing the strange ability to glimpse the future: births, deaths, fires, floods--and the rise to power of Henry Tudor. She is plunged into the dangerous intrigues that swirl around the king's divorce, attracting the malice of a churchman eager to advance his career by having her tried for witchcraft. The only way to prove her innocence is to delve into the mystery of her mother's disappearance--a trail that leads to the highest levels of the English aristocracy and to secrets never meant to be revealed. Second Sight is based on Mother Shipton, the famous Witch of York, a soothsayer who foretold events far in the future, including the Great London Fire, the wreck of the Spanish Armada, and the carnage of World War I.

Feeling like a freak, Spencer feverishly searches for a way to camouflage her horrible hair. Her demi-wig experiment ends in disaster when a boy grabs it and flings it around the school cafeteria.

As things spiral out of control, Spencer decides that the only way she can survive is by running away--to somewhere the internet doesn't exist. Only Spencer hadn't realized how dangerous and lonely it would be living alone on the shores of an ice-covered lake. She's in danger of freezing to death and there's only one person who can help: the dad she's vowed to never speak to again.

'A feisty heroine faces off against outlaws, bullying relatives, and a Minnesota winter'- ARC review 'Humorously highlights a forgotten chapter of American history--a time when babies came in the mail. ' -ARC review 'Hermione Granger meets True Grit-an engaging heroine battles the worst relatives since the Dursleys of Harry Potter.' -ARC review The year is 1913, and 2-year-old Matty Cooper is being sent on a train journey from Minnesota to Wisconsin via a new post office program called Baby Mail. His sister, 12-year-old Owl, is along as watchdog and babysitter. The trip is fraught with perils: outlaws, storms, rockslides, train derailments. But a far worse danger awaits the children at journey's end-their child-hating Aunt Edna. Forbidden to go to school, Owl is forced to drudge from morning to night, while Matty is threatened with being sent to an orphanage. Only the quirky, mysterious lady next door, Chicken Annie, reaches out to help the desperate children. But when Annie breaks her leg and winds up in the hospital, Owl's aunt seizes her chance to cheat Annie out of her property and have her sent to a mental asylum. Owl's the only one who can help Annie-but if she does, her aunt threatens, Matty will be sold to an adoptive family. Somehow Owl must find a way to not only save Annie, but to escape from the house that's become a prison--and find a way back home.

Mean girls: "You're a Nobody."Her mom's in a mental hospital; her meals are dredged out of dumpsters, and 16-year-old Rowan Mahoney is shoplifting to stay alive. Shipped off to a juvie jail, she sneaks off grounds and meets a boy named Theo Corbin. He's gorgeous, funny, and sexy; Rowan falls hard for him. But if she's learned one thing on the street it's this: Something too good to be true probably isn't. Theo poses too many unanswered questions: What are those weird bumps on his head? Why do his cuts heal instantly? Time for some hardcore googling--which spits out a stunning answer: Theo is a satyr. Not the wine-guzzling, girl-chasing creature of ancient myths, but a modern day descendent who possesses a blood type so valuable it's worth killing for.When Theo's folks are murdered and he's kidnapped, Rowan sets out to find him. Following a twisting cross-country trail, evading police as well as a vicious biker gang, Rowan begins to doubt herself. She's always been told she's not bright enough, not athletic enough-not anything enough to succeed. But stubborn.Yeah, Rowan's got that; she's kind of a human bulldog. Sheer tenacity keeps her fighting through obstacles until she at last stumbles across Theo's location.He's imprisoned with a group of other young satyrs in a vast underground cavern in the desert--escape-proof, monitored by brutal guards and 24-7 surveillance. Every couple of weeks, one of the boys is removed, never seen again. Rumor has it that their blood is used to keep wealthy old men alive. Theo is next up on the "Removal" list, but he has no intention of sticking around. All his escape attempts fail, however-until the girl from his past shows up. Together, he and Rowan devise a plan that will free all the prisoners. Every plan has a flaw, though-and in this case, the weak link is Rowan herself. She's never been brave or strong. How is she supposed to find the courage to risk her life for the boy she loves?"A thrilling dystopian adventure with everything: mythical creatures, stellar mazes, a trip to the Emerald City, and plenty of action keeping the reader riveted."-Sally Cisna, author of Fishing for Happiness"I found myself asking what next, fighting the urge to skip ahead." -Dan Anderson, author of Drunk in the Warm Glow"Luz and Rowan are the Lucy and Ethel of the TIKTOK age." -ARC reviewer"[Juliet Rosetti is] a great story teller; I will read everything she writes."--Book-Loving"What Twilight did for vampires, this story does for satyrs:-ARC reviewer
