13 Treasures 

What's the Story?
Tanya is no ordinary girl. She can see fairies. But not the fairies we imagine. Tanya sees evil fairies.  They cast spells on her in her sleep and throw her out of bed. To those that can't see fairies, she just seems moody, jumpy and more than a little crazy.

At wit's end with her daughter's behavior, Tanya's mother sends her away to live with her grandmother at Elvesden Manor, a secluded countryside mansion on the outskirts of a peculiar English town.

There is plenty to explore, as long as Tanya stays away from Hangman's Wood- a vast stretch of forest, full of catacombs. Fifty years ago a girl vanished in the woods, a girl Tanya's grandmother will not speak of. As Tanya learns more about this girl, she finds herself dangerously close to vanishing into the fairy realm forever.

Debut author Michelle Harrison weaves an intricate mystery into a beautiful and haunting fantasy that captures a rich and hazardous world of fairy lore where only a single color offers any kind of protection.

 The Journal of Curious Letters
Book 1
What's the Story?
What if every time you made a choice that had a significant consequence, a new, alternate reality was created? And what if your life continued in each of those alternate realities using your other choices? What if those realities were in danger and it fell to you to save them all ?

Atticus Higginbottom, a.k.a. Tick, is an average thirteen-year-old boy until the day a strange letter arrives in his mailbox. Postmarked from Alaska and cryptically signed with the initials "M.G.," the letter informs Tick that dangerous--perhaps even deadly--actions have been set in motion that could result in the destruction of all realities. M.G. promises to send Tick twelve riddles that will reveal on a certain day, at a certain time, at a certain place, an extraordinary event. Will Tick have the courage to follow the twelve clues M.G. sends to him? Will he be able to solve the riddles in time?

The first volume of an outstanding new children's trilogy, The Journal of Curious Letters is filled with adventure, humor, riddles and danger... As M.G. warns Tick, "Very frightening things are coming your way."

Will you join Tick and his friends on an amazing journey through his Realities? What choice will you make?
