      Elsa, la futura regina di Arendelle, sta per salire al trono. Ma ancora tante sono le domande che la assillano: sarà in grado di affrontare una responsabilità così grande senza l'aiuto dei suoi genitori? Dovrà accettare un pretendente? E, soprattutto, come farà a tenere nascosto ancora lo strano potere che le permette di generare neve e ghiaccio? Comparso dopo il naufragio di mamma e papà, si è fatto incontrollabile. Più la principessa è preoccupata o spaventata, più i raggi gelati diventano potenti e... strane visioni si affacciano alla mente: immagini, tanto vivide da sembrar vere, di una bambina allegra dalle treccine rosse, di giochi e di risate. Il giorno dell'incoronazione, Elsa fa una scoperta sconvolgente: le sue non sono visioni, ma ricordi di un passato misteriosamente cancellato dalla mente di tutti. Forse quella bambina esiste veramente... Mentre una terribile tempesta di neve sconvolge il regno, Elsa deve affrontare una difficile ricerca per riempire il vuoto del proprio animo e... ritrovare una principessa perduta.

      Things are changing at Fairy Tale Reform School. At least, that's what Gilly's heard through the Enchantasia rumor mill. Word is, notorious trickster Rumpelstiltskin has taken over management from Headmistress Flora, and he's locked down the school tighter than the Pied Piper's pants. Not that this news concerns Gilly. She's been released from FTRS and is now suffering through attending Jack of All Trades School, where she gets to learn about different kinds of shoe leather and ways to measure feet. Truly riveting stuff. But when Gilly's little sister Anna gets whisked off to FTRS thanks to her troublemaking new friends, Hansel and Gretel, Gilly knows she's got to get Anna out of there. There's only one thing to do; make some serious trouble and get thrown back into FTRS. It's time to out-trick a trickster. Praise for Fairy Tale Reform School: Flunked "Fairy Tale Reform School has a clever concept and a fresh and funny take on the enchanted world. (I always wanted to know what happened to Cinderella's stepmother too )"--Julia DeVillers, author of the Liberty Porter, First Daughter series and co-author of the Trading Faces series "Spell-binding and wickedly clever."--Leslie Margolis, author of the Annabelle Unleashed novels and the Maggie Brooklyn mysteries

    • "Zoe knows that the only thing harder than middle school is losing a best friend. She and Laura used to do everything together from taking silly selfies, to joining all the same clubs together and even throwing surprise birthday parties for one another. But lately things have been weird between them. Now Laura will post a photo of her hanging out with other girls before responding to Zoe's simple text. She doesn't even want to sit with her at lunch anymore. Zoe is heartbroken--all she wants is for things to go back to normal. But then a magical app downloads on her phone ... and things get even weirder! Suddenly Zoe can travel back in time to moments where her and Laura started drifting apart. It is like a dream come true. A chance for Zoe to mend their friendship. But as Zoe goes back to moments of middle school drama--sleepover games gone wrong, field trips with cliques and crushes, and school projects that bring on more-than-awkward encounters--she realizes that second chances don't always go as planned and that sometimes you need to trust the magic of new beginnings"-- Provided by publisher

      Reform or relapse? Things at Fairy Tale Reform School are great. Rumpelstiltskin has been ousted, and everyone is buzzing about the fact that Beauty and Prince Sebastian (aka the Beast) have joined the teaching staff. Everyone, that is, except Gilly, who can't seem to focus on anything but Anna. How is it that her beloved sister somehow went bad and joined up with Rump? And why doesn't anyone seem to care? Sure, the Royal Court says they're working on it, but they've got exactly nothing to show for it. But when new-kid Jack joins FTRS with tales of his own family being snatched by Rump, Gilly knows she's in good company. Jack wants answers, just like Gilly. And if the Royal Court can't get the job done, then maybe it's time to break some rules...
