The exciting second book in the fantastical series for ages 10-14 by NYT bestselling author, Kelley Armstrong. Rowan is now the Royal Monster Hunter, and her twin brother, Rhydd, is destined to be king. But her mother's cousin Heward is still determined that his children be the ones to inherit the titles, and will stop at nothing to show that Rowan and Rhydd are too immature to properly lead. After the gryphon that Rowan captured in Book One gives birth but then dies, Rowan is left with a baby gryphon she knows she cannot keep. And it grows faster than anyone can imagine . . . In order to save face after an accident involving the troublesome gryphon, Rowan, with the help of her friends Dain and Alianor, along with an entourage of monstrous companions, must make a journey to the mountains to release the gryphon back into the wild. What starts off as a simple enough task soon becomes a dangerous quest, as the group encounters numerous rare and deadly monsters along the way, including wyverns and ceffyl-dwrs. Nothing is easy when you're a "monster magnet" like Rowan. Can she prove herself worthy of the title of Royal Monster Hunter? Find out in this exciting second book in the Royal Guide to Monster Slaying series!

Tim Price's Salt, Root and Roe is a heartbreaking, humorous tale of love and family set against a mythical backdrop. Set on the Pembrokeshire coast in West Wales, identical twins Iola and Anest remain devoted to each other. Ageing fast, and with the time they have together more fragile by the day, they arrive at a desperate decision. Word of this reaches Anest's daughter Menna, who rushes to her long abandoned childhood home where her own ideas of love and compromise are tested to the limit. In spite of the sombre themes of death and bereavement, the writing is light, textured and at times very funny: picking out moments of joy and sadness with seemingly effortless grace. Touching relationships and believable characterisation provide a poignant backdrop to Salt, Root and Roe, where pragmatism, exhausted lives and childrens' fairytales collide in this exploration of grief, loss and acceptance.

In this murderous twist on a familiar fairy tale, alchemist Red and her friends face their most glamorous question yet . . . what secrets lurk behind the mask we show to others? A magical, floating carnival has arrived in Belville, and Red’s all set to see the opening night performance with her boyfriend, Luca. But a chance meeting with a stranger leaves her with doubts–and then the local police officer, Thorn, receives an uncanny threat to the carnival crew. A search of the carnival ship reveals a body–murdered, yet seemingly untouched, lying in a locked room. What seems like an impossible performance draws Officer Thorn, Red, and their friends into a whirlwind of costumes and drama. Carnival life is far from a fairy tale–amid the hard work and high hopes, dangerous secrets are hidden in plain sight. Someone is lying: could it be the mysterious animal trainer, perhaps, or the alluring sharpshooter? Or is it the prim and proper ship captain, or the grieving stepfamily? Tales of betrayal and transformation come to a head at the carnival’s masked ball. There, Red will have to face her own fears in order to confront a murderer who’s been hiding behind a mask all along.
