In Valkyrie Cain's third adventure, she and skeletal mentor Skulduggery continue to negotiate the complicated politics of their magical underground society while maintaining Valkyrie's double life and, of course, saving the planet. The plot twists are thrilling and nonstop, and the world-building continues to deepen.

L. M. Boston's thrilling and chilling tales of Green Knowe, a haunted manor deep in an overgrown garden in the English countryside, have been entertaining readers for half a century. Now the children of Green Knowe--both alive and ghostly--are back in appealing new editions.
The spooky original illustrations have been retained, but dramatic new cover art by Brett Helquist (illustrator of A Series of Unfortunate Events) gives the books a fresh, timeless appeal for today's readers.
