Book Description
Discover a new world in this portal fantasy where magic is real, animals can talk, and humans are extinct in "one enchanting package." - Kirkus recommended review Lore Deoradán wants to be happy when she grows up. But navigating her parents' mercurial moods, moving to a new town just two weeks before her high school graduation, and dealing with her beloved grandma's declining health all make that dream seemingly impossible. Will her new job be the first step toward happiness, or will it be yet another disappointment?? When she falls down a well into a magical world with talking animals that haven't seen a human for years, she must clear her name of the mayor's murder. Although, how anyone believes she killed a Herculean-sized alligator is beyond her. Now, her survival is tied to a mouse with a chip on her shoulder. There's also a cat who owns a pub where the animal patrons might be cannibals, a giant snake librarian who probably wants to eat her, and sentient lampposts who are never there when you need them. Can Lore prove her innocence, help a newfound friend save the town from a dark and dangerous schemer, and find her way home?

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
She believed she’d return to the coven a hero. Instead, she’s found a chaotic battle caused by an imposter and a need to stay out of the limelight. Cassia has been to purgatory and back. She escaped the Underworld only to find her coven in chaos—a fierce battle taking place between witches. And leading the charge was…her. Or her sister pretending to be her. Again. Not only has her sister stolen her identity, but Cassia keeps shrinking in stature and confidence, her familiar isn’t accepted, and every time she uses her magic an electrical charge attaches to her soul. Now, Cassia must discover the reasons for the shrinking and the electrical charge, stop the war between witches, and warn the new king of an evil threat. Can the wayward witch right-size herself and the coven permanently? Or will the jolt consume her and turn her to the dark side forever? And is it possible she’s the biggest threat of all? Down the Witching Well is the eighth book in the charming Glass Slipper Adventure YA fantasy series, and the second story in the twisted Alice in Wonderland arc. If you enjoyed the suspense of The Cruel Prince by Holly Black, you'll love the dark intrigue of Cassia's journey in this thrilling paranormal fantasy. Read Down the Witching Well and plunge into a twisted tale! Other books in the series include Cinderella Assassin, Cinderella Soldier, Cinderella Spy, Snow Wicked White, Snow Warrior White, Snow Witching White, and Through the Witching Glass.

...And Well Tied Down
Author: Ken Leon-Dermota
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313072256
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Collaborators of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet took over Chile's news media as part of an endeavor to promote the ideology of the dictatorship during times of democracy. To support this claim, Leon-Dermota offers a complete examination of Chile's media and political and economic bases that no political science, economic, or media studies work has done. Finding that much of Chile's power-brokering occurs outside of the political playing field, Leon-Dermota shows why left-of-center governments elected since 1990 have been powerless to advance programs or policies not approved by Chile's power elite, which comprises most industry, the rightmost Roman Catholic service organizations, and the media—with the goal of imposing an ideology descended from fascist Spain under Francisco Franco.
