Book Description
In this mischievous and utterly original debut, Hansel and Gretel walk out of their own story and into eight other classic Grimm-inspired tales. As readers follow the siblings through a forest brimming with menacing foes, they learn the true story behind (and beyond) the bread crumbs, edible houses, and outwitted witches. Fairy tales have never been more irreverent or subversive as Hansel and Gretel learn to take charge of their destinies and become the clever architects of their own happily ever after.

Book Description
Cain, warlock/once Immortal, is thrust into the twenty-first century as a simple human. Relying on the evil beast inside him, from centuries of using black magic, he has to find the Spell of Immortality to become immortal once again, and break the curse his mother had cast upon him. Entering the twenty-first century, he stumbles upon Gwen, an oddly familiar, beautiful young woman. Discovering Gwen’s mother, his friend, has disappeared, Cain feels it his duty to look after the attractive lass, hoping that she will have clues in finding the spell he desperately wants, and his missing friend. When Gwen lays eyes on the handsome immortal that lands in her dining room, terror and excitement race through her. Cain doesn’t remember her, or their intimate past together, but she could never forget him or his sensual caresses. Wanting to explain her actions from that fateful night, that changed both their lives, she can’t help falling in love with Cain all over again, but is it too late for them to start anew with all the secrets between them? Will they find the love they once shared, or have the evils inside Cain already transformed him into a monstrous, uncaring beast for all time...

Book Description
A mature, home-schooled teenager was houseguest for a few weeks before she was to go on to university. We had a number of conversations on a variety of subjects. One day discussing evolution, I, already a grandmother of some years standing, suggested the possibility that mutations in the past might have occurred not singly, but a number at once. That missing links between various apes and humans might not exist. A female ape might have found herself mother of as different a creature as a hen would ducklings, or a dog, kittens.

Book Description
From Newbery Honor-winning, New York Times bestselling author Adam Gidwitz Did you know that Cinderella’s stepsisters got their eyes pecked out by birds? Really. And that Rumpelstiltskin ripped himself in half? And that in “The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage,” a mouse, a bird, and a sausage all talk to each other? (Okay, I guess that one’s not that grim.) Those are the real fairy tales. But they have nothing on the fairy tales in this book. For more twisted tales look for A Tale Dark and Grimm and In a Glass Grimmly. * “Underneath the gore, the wit, and the trips to Hell and back, this book makes it clearer than ever that Gidwitz truly cares about the kids he writes for.” —Publishers Weekly starred review “Entertaining story-mongering, with traditional and original tropes artfully intertwined.”—Kirkus Reviews “As innovative as they are traditional, the stories maintain clear connections with traditional Grimm tales while creatively connecting to the narrative, and all the while keeping the proceedings undeniably grisly and lurid. . . .Readers will rejoice.”—School Library Journal

Book Description
It's 1987 and 26-year-old Malcolm Castle is going up in the world. He's made it through eight long years as a rookie fire-fighter and he's become an accepted member of Red Watch in Shrewsbury. The town's glorious medieval streets and the rolling hills of Shropshire look infinitely peaceful. But Malcolm knows they will always spring plenty of surprises. In Going to Blazes the endlessly varied nature of Malcolm's work triggers plenty of laughs, as he comes to the aid of different sorts of animals, vehicles and people in difficulty - and sometimes a combination of all three. Some of the most surprising incidents he recalls include a road blocked with 35 tonnes of turnips, and a call-out to a woman stuck between the floorboards of her upstairs bathroom. But he also faces some of the most emotional rescues of his career. Both funny and touching, Malcolm Castle's book is a unique celebration of the glorious English countryside.

It didn't add up! Ellie was only interested in one-to-one relationships, so, as rakishly handsome as he was, Daniel Thackery wasn't her kind of man. But she had to keep him talking: he certainly seemed to be up to no good and—even more importantly—he knew the whereabouts of her sister's estranged husband. Ellie's persistence seemed to encourage Daniel to think that she could yet be persuaded to join his harem. Ellie was having none of it, until Daniel's determination made her realize she had put two and two together—to make five! "Carole Mortimer delivers quality romance." —Romantic Times

Book Description
Mirabelle's past is shrouded in secrecy, from her parents' tragic deaths to her guardians' half-truths about why she can't return to her birthplace, Beau Rivage. Desperate to see the town, Mira runs away—and discovers a world she never could have imagined. In Beau Rivage, nothing is what it seems—the strangely pale girl with a morbid interest in apples, the obnoxious playboy who's a beast to everyone he meets, and the chivalrous guy who has a thing for damsels in distress. Here, fairy tales come to life, curses are awakened, and ancient stories are played out again and again. But fairy tales aren't pretty things, and they don't always end in happily ever after. Mira has a role to play, a fairy tale destiny to embrace or resist. As she struggles to take control of her fate, Mira is drawn into the lives of two brothers with fairy tale curses of their own...brothers who share a dark secret. And she'll find that love, just like fairy tales, can have sharp edges and hidden thorns.
