Hocus and Pocus and the Snow Day Sorcery

"It's time for the town Winter Solstice party and puppies Hocus and Pocus are ready to help out with their own special magic! This sweet series continues with plenty of spells, friends, and snowy fun. Everyone in Inkwell is excited for the Winter Solstice party, including magical puppies Hocus and Pocus. Pocus wants to play in the snow, and Hocus wants to eat snowflakes! Finally, the longest night of the year arrives and everybody turns out to celebrate with maple popcorn, hot cider, and enormous pumpkins (thanks to a plant warlock). The only thing missing is-snow! Without a fresh dusting, how can Hocus and Pocus's friends make snow sculptures and race snowflakes? The puppies notice a new striped tent at the edge of the party: Nimbus the Sorcerer! Handmade Wishes! Hocus and Pocus know just what to wish for. Nimbus pulls a tiny snowglobe from behind their back, and says to be careful-this is a very big, very delicate wish. The puppies try, but their excitement gets away from them, and soon it is TOO snowy for the party (and Hocus's feet are pawsicles!). Luckily, the citizens of Inkwell have a few cozy charms up their sleeves. This latest adventure glows with warmth and winter magic."

Costumes for Time Travelers

"Calisto and Fawkes are drawn to each other for the first time, again, as they travel from when to when to take on a threat to all they hold dear in this lyrical and playful fantasy from award-winning author A. R. Capetta. Anyone who has hiked through time knows the town of Pocket. It's the place travelers first reach after they stumble away from their hometime, passing through on their way to any other when. To Calisto, Pocket is home. They love their grandmother's shop, which is filled with clothes from every era that are used to make costumes for time travelers. Calisto has no intention of traveling-it's too dangerous. For Fawkes, traveling is life. He put on time boots when he was young and has been stumbling through eras ever since. When he floats into Pocket, Calisto meets him for the first time, though Fawkes has seen Calisto-in glimpses of what hasn't happened yet. He's also seen the villains chasing them both. Now Calisto and Fawkes must rush-from Shakespeare's London to ancient Crete to California on the eve of a millennium-to save Pocket, and travelers, from being erased. From the Lambda Literary Award-winning author of The Heartbreak Bakery comes a fairy-tale romance that weaves in and out of time, from kiss to kiss and costume to costume."

Hocus and Pocus and the Spell for Home

"From award-winning author A. R. Capetta comes a new first-chapter-book series delivering plenty of puppies, magic, and charm. Puppies Hocus and Pocus are still waiting to be adopted from the Shelter for Slightly Magical Pets. Even though Hocus can see two minutes into the future and Pocus can turn bad feelings into bubbles (which he eats!), nobody seems to want them. This could be because the two keep causing mischief so they won't be separated. When Jinx the witch uses a "spell for home" potion to help a color-changing tortoise find his match, the puppies know what to do: sneak both their hairs into the mixture to ensure they get adopted together. But with these two, anything can happen-from a shrinking spell to giant bees! Can the puppies, along with Jinx and her young apprentices-witch Archer (he/him), wizard Ofelia (she/her), and warlock Tam (they/them)-fix the magical mess? And will they finally find a home, maybe even right under their noses? This adorable new series takes readers to a vibrant world full of magic, community, surprises, and welcoming homes."

The Heartbreak Bakery

"Teenage baker Syd sends ripples of heartbreak through Austin’s queer community when a batch of post-being-dumped brownies turns out to be magical—and makes everyone who eats them break up. “What’s done is done.” Unless, of course, it was done by my brownies. Then it’s getting undone.” Syd (no pronouns, please) has always dealt with big, hard-to-talk-about things by baking. Being dumped is no different, except now Syd is baking at the Proud Muffin, a queer bakery and community space in Austin. And everyone who eats Syd’s breakup brownies … breaks up. Even Vin and Alec, who own the Proud Muffin. And their breakup might take the bakery down with it. Being dumped is one thing; causing ripples of queer heartbreak through the community is another. But the cute bike delivery person, Harley (he or they, check the pronoun pin, it’s probably on the messenger bag), believes Syd about the magic baking. And Harley believes Syd’s magical baking can fix things, too—one recipe at a time."

Stranger Things: Rebel Robin

"High school is a monster, and it's eating everyone Robin knows. Discover the backstory of the new Stranger Things fan favorite character, Robin, played by Maya Hawke! It's the beginning of sophomore year, and Robin's Odd Squad friends have decided: this time, they're going to fit in. They couple up, they won't stop talking about college and their future careers, and they're obsessed with trying to act 'normal.' Robin knows that game well--she's been pretending for years, hoping nobody would notice the sarcastic polyglot French horn player with a bad perm in the back of the room. But there's one aspect of her identity that she knows for sure doesn't fit in with her carefully controlled image--something she's only just now realizing: Robin likes girls. How exactly is she supposed to be her true self in teeny-tiny Hawkins, Indiana? Robin is convinced the only way she can experience real life is by fleeing to Europe for the summer--aka Operation Croissant. But she has no money, no permission, and no one to share the adventure with--and it will take a heck of a lot more than that to escape Hawkins in one piece. Sprinkled with references to your favorite Stranger Things characters, this prequel chronicles one girl's realization that the only person she really needs to be accepted by is herself."

"In a kingdom shrouded in secrets, a young woman struggles to hide her powers until forbidden love challenges everything she thought she knew. "A highly original magic system and a protagonist who is as ruthless as she is fiery make for a fast-paced adventure."-School Library Journal, starred review "A wild adventure full of old magic, new love, and dark delight."-Alison Goodman, New York Times bestselling author of Eon and Eona Love isn't simple . . . but it can be brilliant.

A strega who can effortlessly swap back and forth between female and male, human and animal, Cielo shows Teodora what her life could be like if she masters her powers-and how much more she's capable of. And not a moment too soon: the ruler of Vinalia has poisoned the patriarchs of the country's five controlling families, including Teodora's father, and demands that each family send a son to the palace. If she wants to save her family, Teodora must travel to the capital-not disguised as a boy, but transformed into one. But the road to the capital, and to bridling her evolving powers, is full of enemies and complications, including the one she least expects: falling in love."
