More than three decades after the last Three Investigators novel was published in America, a new series finally arrives, conceived and co-written by Elizabeth Arthur, the daughter of Robert Arthur, the creator of the Three Investigators universe.

In the first book of a 26-book story arc, it's the summer before their freshman year in high school in Rocky Beach, California, and Jupiter Jones, Bob Andrews, and Pete Crenshaw are back in business.

Their new client, Isabella Chang, wants to discover the truth about a murdered ancestor whose son Li Chang is rumored to have hidden a bag of gold his father panned from the American River during the heady days of the California gold rush.

Thus begins a tale of intrigue, misdirection, hunches, ciphers, clues, coincidences, and a classic blend of legwork and analysis.

Why was the one-room schoolhouse where Li Chang was educated suddenly razed to the ground? Why is its foundation being guarded by a wild-eyed woman with a shotgun? Who stole letters addressed to Li Chang's schoolmaster? What does the Owl of Athena carved on Li Chang's grave marker mean? And why was Li Chang so secretive about the location of his hidden gold?

When the investigation stalls, a new acquaintance helps the team see what had been hiding in plain sight. But the closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous things become - especially when they face a ruthless land developer and his scar-faced henchman.

In The Mystery of the Abecedarian Academy and the 25 other new Three Investigators books, both old and new fans will find an America as classic as Robert Arthur's novels.

Join Jupiter, Pete, and Bob as they unravel the mystery and uncover secrets hidden for generations. Adventure, danger, and intrigue await - don't miss out on this absorbing new entry in the Three Investigators legacy!

A New York Times bestseller!

This explosive first book in the New York Times bestselling Powerless trilogy follows the forbidden romance between a powerful prince and an ordinary girl as they try to survive their kingdom's grueling laws pitting them against each other.

She is the very thing he's spent his whole life hunting.
He is the very thing she's spent her whole life pretending to be.

Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya--the exceptional, the empowered, the Elites. The powers these Elites have possessed for decades were graciously gifted to them by the Plague, though not all were fortunate enough to both survive the sickness and reap the reward. Those born Ordinary are just that--ordinary. And when the king decreed that all Ordinaries be banished to preserve his Elite society, lacking an ability suddenly became a crime--making Paedyn Gray a felon by fate and a thief by necessity.

Surviving in the slums as an Ordinary is no simple task, and Paedyn knows this better than most. Having been trained by her father to be keenly observant since she was a child, Paedyn poses as a Psychic in the crowded city, blending in with the Elites as best she can to stay alive and out of trouble...easier said than done.

When Paedyn unsuspectingly saves one of Ilya's princes, she finds herself thrown into the Purging Trials. The brutal competition exists to showcase the Elites' powers--the very thing Paedyn lacks. If the Trials and the opponents within them don't kill her, the prince she's fighting feelings for certainly will if he discovers what she is...completely Ordinary.

"If we stay here, if we keep wandering without a real plan, we won't last. Maybe The Hill is dangerous. But maybe it's not. It's the only plan we have."

Seventeen-year-old Aurora knows how to survive. Life in the foster system has taught her how to stay quiet, stay smart, and stay ready. But nothing could prepare her for this: a never-ending storm that swallows cities, drowns forests, and turns the world into a flooded wasteland.

Trapped in a collapsing house with her strict prepper foster parents, Aurora is forced to live by their rules just to stay alive. Until the day they disappear without a trace.

Alone. Abandoned. And running out of time.

All Aurora has is a waterlogged scrap of paper and a name: "The Hill."

With looters closing in and the floodwaters rising higher each day, she's left with one impossible choice--stay and wait for the storm to take her, or risk everything on a journey through the drowned remains of the world, to a find a place that may or not exist.

It's forward or nothing.

With echoes of Life As We Knew It, The Last of Us, and Hatchet, Aurora's story is a gripping, emotionally resonant survival story about resilience, found family, and one girl's fight to reclaim her future in a drowning world.

Blair might be a little type-A, but she never thought of herself as completely overbearing...that is, until her two best friends drop her from their housing arrangement a week before her pre-college summer coding program is about to start.

But things get complicated when one of her new roommates turns out to be her brother's best friend, Jamie Atwater.

So they strike a deal: she'll help him finish coding the app he's building if he promises to keep her secret.

Spending more time together shouldn't be a problem. Sure, Jamie has a new haircut, a mysterious tattoo, and a year's worth of earned muscle, but it's not like Blair is noticing. After all, they're only roommates, right?

Imogen Quinn is pissed off. She's having a sensory-overload panic attack at her first Pride parade, and her friends ditched her. Fabulous.

But Imogen isn't the kind of girl to stay knocked down, so she ditches her bad friends and decides to start an activist club to fight for a school where everyone can feel welcome--and that includes putting on a Pride celebration that's accessible for autistic people like her. The problem? She has no friends, no support, and no money, and her small-minded principal hates her guts.

Enter Ollie Armstrong. The openly gay, unexpectedly kind captain of the football team is everything Imogen is not. He's popular, he's respected . . . but he's also completely miserable. His parents' divorce is secretly eating him alive, and he has no real friends to talk to. So when Imogen ambushes him with a plan to fight against everyone who is pissing her off and a plea for his help, Ollie is too in his own head to think of an excuse.

With Ollie on board, it doesn't take long before they are joined by the infuriatingly perfect head girl and a delightful crew of classmates who have their own axes to grind. But it's Ollie and Imogen leading the charge and opening up to each other in ways they never imagined possible.

Inspired by this unlikely friendship, Ollie is on the hunt for answers about his parents' divorce and his own feelings about gender. And Imogen is empowered to stand up for herself and stop taking anyone's shit.

Between protests at city hall, confrontations at an open mic, a suspension, and the best drag football charity game ever played, it's clear Imogen and Ollie aren't ones to back away from a fight. Especially not when it's for the people they love or the world they want to live in.

Fierce and funny, Anna Zoe Quirke's Something to Be Proud Of is about advocating for yourself and finding the people who care about you.
