The complete collection of the epic saga of Larten Crepsley – vampire, hero and victim of fate… Prequel series to The Saga of Darren Shan.
BIRTH OF A KILLER: When Larten escapes the terrible workhouse in which he toils, he doesn’t know that he is running from an early death… into another kind of transformation. After meeting the mysterious vampire Seba Nile while sheltering for the night in a crypt, Larten finds himself drawn into the shadowy world of the vampire Clan.
Larten finds himself enjoying the adventure he has always dreamed of but begins to discover something else, too. Much like death, becoming a vampire is something you can’t come back from…
OCEAN OF BLOOD: Free from their mentor Seba Nile, Larten Crepsley and Wester Flack join the Cubs – wild young vampires with little respect for human life, and a taste for mindless enjoyment.
But soon fate throws Larten into another spin as he finds himself far from the Vampire Mountain and its rules. Sick and alone, he must decide what kind of vampire he will be. Whether he will stand firm, be true to his master and his principles – or whether he will lose himself in blood…
PALACE OF THE DAMNED: Lost in the Arctic waste, Larten faces the darkest time he has ever known.
But hope has a way of shining through, and just as Larten reaches the end, a new beginning presents itself. The trouble is, the violence of Larten’s youth is never far from the surface… and those he loves are the ones he hurts the most. As Larten experiences heaven and hell, and tries to save the soul of a child, the question is: can he save his own?
BROTHERS TO THE DEATH: Just as Larten is finding a new place for himself in vampire society, and helping vampires escape the Nazi menace, horrifying tragedy falls on his own family thanks to the nefarious Vampaneze.
With his old friend Wester calling for war against the ancient enemies of vampires, Larten finds himself a figurehead of the campaign. But there are more evil things than just the Vampaneze stirring. And soon, Larten might find himself grieving again – as he faces the worst and final betrayal…

The girls in Team Starlight learn spells and earn their stars in this magical new young fiction series!
Welcome to Stargirl Academy, the magical school in the clouds!

Fairy Mary McBee selects a group of girls: Lily, Ava, Madison, Sophie, Emma, Olivia – and Melody and Jackson who think they're better than everyone else. The girls learn lots of spells – shimmering, starry, shining, sparkling, glittering and twinkling ones – which they use to fix problems and help people in trouble. For every successful mission they gain a star, and once they have six stars they will be fully qualified stargirls! Ava leads the first mission and decides they should teach Lily's horrible great aunt a lesson. With a new spell the girls convince Great Aunt Acidity that supernatural forces are angry with her: floating crockery and a message written by a teapot make her change her ways. It's a triumph – they've earned their first star!

Timothy Top is a grade school kid going through a hard
time. His parents are constantly quarreling, and he's feeling like an outsider
among his classmates. His fascination with nature and superheroes makes for an
unusual combination that few of his peers can relate to. But when a crooked
businessman moves into the neighborhood with plans to “reinvent the local
park” into a concrete monstrosity devoid of nature and life, Timothy sets
out on a mission to save a famous tree from the bulldozers. Being just a kid, he
doesn't know how he'll be able to go about this, until one night he discovers
that he's been given the power of a magical green thumb that can heal and grow
plant life! He's a superhero! But will he be able to use this power to save the
park or the relationship between his parents?
A
simple tale but with many layers, this first volume supports respect for the
environment, as well as dealing with bullies, quarreling parents, and school
expectations. Future volumes tiptoe into other topics such as discrimination,
forgiveness, and commitment.
