Book Description
Snake said let’s go on a quest in a magical realm to save our parents—how hard can it be? After all, we made it to The World Below. Pris had no idea what she was letting herself in for when she said yes. She certainly did not expect to be thrust into a magical maze heading towards a confrontation with a freaking minotaur! When Percival agreed to guide the two creatures from The World Above on their quest, little did he know the stresses of the maze would threaten to pull Pris and Snake apart, and that he would be tested to his very limits. Will the three creatures overcome their own demons, and the obstacles the maze throws at them so they can defeat The Minotaur and claim their prize?

Lost in the Labyrinth
Author: Patrice Kindl
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
ISBN: 0547348045
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
“Kindl inventively meshes classical myths, archeological findings and imaginative speculation in an intriguing tale full of mystery and emotion.” —Publishers Weekly Last night I saw my sister, who is dead. She stood at the end of a long corridor, weeping. “Can it really be you, Ariadne, come back after all this time?” I whispered. She did not answer, but began slowly to sink through the floor. Princess Xenodice is content to spend her days tending to the animals in the royal menagerie, haunting the workshop of a beautiful young man named Icarus, and visiting her brother who lives in the Labyrinth. Her safe and privileged world, however, has ominous cracks underfoot. Soon battles for power and revenge threaten everything Xenodice loves. Betrayals from both within and without her family lead to a series of tragedies that Xenodice struggles to avert. From the deepest layer of the Labyrinth under the Royal Palace to the topmost floor of the prison tower, this enthralling version of the myth of the maze and the Minotaur by master storyteller Patrice Kindl is filled with the marvelous and the strange. “It’s Xenodice’s strong, appealing character that will get readers through the maze; her first-person narration brings the ancient setting vividly to life with rich detail and timeless emotions—sibling rivalry, heart-pounding crushes, moral outrage, and the pain of family secrets. An intriguing . . . blend of history, myth, and fiction.” —Booklist “Readers who know the legend will enjoy the parallels and contrasts that occur throughout, but the strong storytelling lets Xenodice’s tale stand on its own, as well.” —School Library Journal

Basia had agreed to her soulmate’s dying wish for her to carry on his work uniting the people on war torn Hampshire, England. Not ready to take on that responsibility, she took Time Guardian Sigma’s advice and has gone back in time to learn about women’s role in social change from Time Fixer Izzy.

Amidst violence and public outrage against them, advocates for women’s suffrage are marching to London, and Izzy is sent to Winchester to cover part of the march for a newspaper. In Winchester Izzy and Basia are forced to face their pasts, while plotting their futures. If that isn’t difficult enough, fate intervenes in the guise of a missing suffragist.
