Fairy tales are fun...until your life becomes one.

It's 1987, and fifteen-year-old Frances Fye might be a little too obsessed with fairy tales. But when grief and the loneliness of small-town life threaten to overwhelm her, stories carry her off to magical adventures.

Then a new boy shows up at school-mysterious, magnetic, and shockingly similar to Fran's favorite fictional hero. And when a wrong-number phone call leads to friendship with Trowbridge, an exiled bridge troll with sinister intentions, Fran's world cracks wide open.

Suddenly, the fairy tales she's always loved aren't just stories anymore. They're real-and dangerous.

Entangled in the deadly schemes of fae royalty, she has little choice but to depend on the most unlikely allies: her middle-aged English teacher who's more than he seems, the secretly sensitive school rebel, and her less-than-charming ex.

To escape the mythical lands she once longed for, Fran must face the truth she's spent years avoiding: real courage isn't found in books.

It's found in her.

Carrie Anne Noble delivers a heartfelt, imaginative YA fantasy full of 1980s nostalgia, magical twists, and the bittersweetness of finding your courage. Trowbridge and Fye is a charming, clever adventure perfect for anyone who ever wished their favorite fairy tales could come to life.

By the late 1990s, General Motors realized that its old Detroit Diesel engine, which had been designed 20 years earlier, was due for a major update. The Detroit Diesel engine was never intended to be a serious horsepower or torque monster. It was just a steady and reliable workhorse that made credible power, met emissions standards, and achieved decent fuel economy. As Ford and Dodge released new designs of their Power Stroke and Cummins engines, respectively, General Motors needed to follow suit.

The first Duramax engine made its debut in 2001. Over the last 25 years, several versions were introduced, all displacing 6.6L and all producing ever-increasing horsepower, torque, and efficiency. As with any engine that is more than two decades old, many now need a complete overhaul. In GM 6.6L Duramax Diesel V-8 Engines: How to Rebuild and Modify, all aspects of a rebuild are covered in simple step-by-step fashion with more than 375 color photos. A brief history is provided, followed by diagnosis, engine removal, and disassembly procedures, which include the special tools that are required. Next are inspection and machine work, which are followed by reassembly and reinstallation. Finally, a performance chapter is included with commentary by Gale Banks.

Whether you want to tackle this project yourself or just want to know how it all works, this guide will help you along the way.

"Darker Days is a meticulous work of terror, a harrowing drop into a moral nightmare. If you can imagine the philosophical oomph of Bergman's The Seventh Seal joined to the rustic shocks of Midsommer, and all of it transported to America's suburbia, you'd have something like Darker Days. It's a scream."--Joe Hill, #1 New York Times bestselling author of King Sorrow

"One of the most vital and exciting voices in modern horror."--Film Director Mike Flanagan

From the author of the internationally acclaimed bestseller HEX comes a modern horror story with echoes of Paul Tremblay, Joe Hill, and Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," about a gilded street in a small Pacific Northwest town where the charmed residents have made a frightening bargain . . . with devastating consequences.

Sometimes you think you can see things behind the fence. Bad things. So it's better not to look. . . .

In Lock Haven, a quiet little town in Washington State, Bird Street is a special place. The residents of this pretty cul-de-sac on the edge of the woods are all successful, healthy, and happy. Their children are prodigies: well-mannered, unnaturally smart, and enviously talented.

But come November, the Darker Days descend, bringing accidents, bad luck, conflict, and illness. Luana and Ralph Lewis da Silva prepare for this, and so do their children, Kaila and Django. It is in November when a stranger appears to collect on a longstanding debt. A price must be paid for the good fortune the Bird Street community enjoys the rest of the year. A sacrifice must be made.

So it has been for more than a century. To assuage their guilt, the residents of Bird Street choose carefully who will be sent into the woods. Usually, it is an elderly or terminally ill individual who wishes to enter the void with dignity.

But this year, things don't go to plan and events take a terrifying turn. . . .

From Neal Stephenson, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Polostan and Cryptonomicon, comes the second installment in his monumental Bomb Light series--a gripping tale set on the eve of World War II, as nations race to find and control an elusive substance critical to building atomic weapons.

Europe, 1934. British journalist Owen Crisp-Upjohn is dispatched to Moscow, where his assignments quickly escalate from cultural reporting to international espionage. Before long, Owen finds himself pulled into the orbit of the enigmatic Earl of Suffolk, a maverick aristocrat, and Aurora, a curiously compelling woman with a shadowy past rooted in Soviet intelligence.

Their mission soon becomes clear: secure the earth's only supply of deuterium--"heavy water"--before it falls into Nazi hands. The high-stakes pursuit takes them from London's plush drawing rooms to Barcelona, ravaged by the Spanish Civil War; from far-flung Soviet aerodromes to the perilous, icy landscapes of occupied Norway. Over time, Owen evolves from a detached observer into a man forced to confront profound questions of honor, love, and moral responsibility as loyalties are tested and allegiances shift in an ever-tightening web of science, intrigue, and deceit.

Rich with historical insight, emotionally complex characters, and a relentless sense of urgency with a world on the edge of cataclysm, D: Heavy Water is a suspenseful and wildly entertaining tale of courage and consequence in which humankind's future is shaped by decisions made in the shadows.

Boss Baby meets The Baby-Sitters Club with a touch of Ocean's Eleven in Detective Baby--a laugh-out-loud, hijinks-heavy graphic novel series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot.

Jenny isn't your average babysitter. She has a secret superpower--she can understand baby talk. (A pretty lame superpower for a middle schooler, if you ask her.)

Rosie isn't your average baby--she's the most brilliant (and devious) detective in town.

Jenny would rather do anything besides babysit. But the money she raised for her dance team has been stolen--and Rosie is sure she can crack the case.

This itty-bitty investigator and her babysitting backup have no time to waste--there's a mystery to solve before nap time! And with all the humorous antics and endless fun of Katie the Catsitter, plus the feel-good middle grade heart of Click, the journey is sure to have plenty of surprises along the way.

"And what is your destiny, Little Bird? Who will you be?"

Sixteen-year-old Wren Vesper is just like every other kid she knows: trying to survive high school and figure out what she wants to do with her life. But when news of her grandmother's death reaches her, she discovers she is not like everyone else, and that question about what to do with her life may no longer be hers to answer. Wren and her mother return to Sedgwick Cove, the tiny coastal Maine town where her mother grew up, and there she learns the truth about the family she barely knows: the Vespers aren't just a family: they're a coven.

Centuries ago, a bargain was struck and a powerful spell cast: As long as three Vesper witches lived in Sedgwick Cove, the town would be safe from the dark forces that threatened its borders. Wren's mother reluctantly agrees to take her own mother's place as the third Vesper witch, but when she disappears under mysterious circumstances, it falls to Wren to navigate the dark and winding world of witchcraft she never knew existed.

Can Wren step into her own power before it's too late?

Daughters of Sea and Storm: The Vesper Coven Book 1, is the first in a thrilling new series set in the World of the Gateway by E.E. Holmes.

Growing up, I learned two things early: how to take a joke (even when I was the joke) and how to stay out of trouble (mostly) by telling a joke. This book is a collection of stories from a childhood where discipline was creative, money was scarce, and laughter was often the only thing that kept everything from falling apart.

Told with humor that doesn't apologize and honesty that doesn't waver, these stories find comedy in the chaos and truth in the mess. Some moments will make you laugh out loud. Others might make you wince, then laugh.

This is a feel-real story. For anyone who grew up fast and learned sarcasm before self-confidence, and figured out early that humor is a survival skill, this book will feel like home.

A riveting book club novel of secrets, redemption, and unexpected connection. Perfect for fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid, Kristin Hannah, and Jojo Moyes.

Her father died in prison. She's hidden her identity for most of her life. Until now.

Scarlett vowed she'd never step foot in Brackson prison again. Yet here she is, back in her hometown, dragging disgruntled dogs into the hell her father once called home.

The Pups in Prison rehabilitation program is her uncle's passion, but his recent heart attack means he's laid up and she's filling in. She's surrounded by inked necks and barbed wire...and awful memories she can't shake.

She didn't expect to find solace in an unexpected prisoner.

Emery is intense yet kind. Strangely intuitive. She shouldn't look forward to their dog-training sessions, even if this alluring inmate shines a light on parts of herself she thought she hated.

But when she discovers why he was incarcerated and violence hits too close to home, Scarlett's forced to face that forgiveness is more than spoken words and that coming undone is the first step to stitching yourself back together.

Three months, two friends, and one chance to see if "just one time" can turn into more.

Quinn Riley loves three things in this world. The city of Rome, whose complicated history rivals her own; her career counseling job at Billings College, despite toxic campus dynamics; and her best friend, Colton-even if she's fighting a nagging thrum of attraction between them.

When she has the chance to combine all three loves-working on the same study abroad program that Colton's set to teach in-she can't pass it up. Unfortunately, the professors have turned what should be the summer of a lifetime into a test. If she fails, they plan to pass a new policy that will ruin her beloved job. It's an uphill battle, but Quinn's too stubborn to fail.

Colton Miller has never failed at anything. But when Quinn is being decimated by his colleagues, he can't help but stand up for her, even when it lands him in the middle of the ongoing faculty vs. staff feud. Now, in order to secure the tenured position he desperately needs, this summer has to go perfectly. That means ignoring how devastatingly in love with Quinn he's been for over a decade.

But when the two get to Rome, everything shifts. Their shared apartment feels smaller with each charged moment. Those casual touches that have defined their friendship don't feel so friendly anymore. And that "just one time" is anything but. With delectable food, flowing wine, and enough PDA around to turn anyone's mind to romance, the two question if finding forever with their best friend is worth the things they could lose in the process.

New York Times bestselling author Lauren Willig returns with What Happens at Nightfall, a delightfully Gothic romantic adventure, complete with a little bit of demon-hunting.
In the sprawling Gothic expanse of Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery, some secrets refuse to stay buried.
Recently laid off and searching for purpose, Jess reluctantly joins her best friend on a supposedly fun nighttime cemetery tour. Separated from her group by accident, she discovers a bunch of terrified boys and a strange, ancient key. Both lead to Green-Wood's surprisingly handsome resident arborist, Adam Chervinsky.
Recently widowed, Adam has more to protect than the leafy residents of Green-Wood. His children, still dealing with the loss of their mother, are acting strangely. A haunting is afoot, and Jess seems to know more than she's letting on. Sparks fly between Jess and Adam--and the unquiet spirits of Green-Wood rise from their century-long slumber.
As Jess and Adam delve deeper into the cemetery's haunted history, they uncover a Gilded Age curse, a ghostly socialite, and a demonic pact that stretches across generations. What lies hidden in the Green-Wood's splendid Vanderwilt mausoleum? As the line between the living and the dead blurs, and the shadows of Green-Wood begin to stir with malevolent intent, Jess must confront not only the supernatural forces but a shocking connection to the past if she and Adam truly want to live happily ever after.

Bearing Witness tells the story of churches in downtown Istanbul have been caring for migrants and refugees for 34 years; it tells the story of the courage and resilience of the refugees they serve; and it bears witness to the faithfulness of God who is with us, who cares for refugees and shares their suffering. The stories here are a part of the bigger story of God, his work in the world, and his call on his people to bear witness to him. The presence of God in a tiny garden office in downtown Istanbul has made it a sacred space.

In our current world of chaos, as we witness cruelty meted out to strangers in our midst, these stories need to be heard. In a single decade the number of people displaced from their homes has more than doubled, increasing from 60 million to 120 million. Nations build walls to keep out refugees and migrants; governments and political parties retreat to nationalism and nativism. The Church has a different mandate.

Bearing Witness is a call to the global church, to followers of Jesus everywhere, to see and serve refugees and migrants, widows and orphans, the hungry, the poor, and the prisoner in obedience to his command and in response to his love.
