Six new titles will be released this spring from a diverse list of
authors, including debut novelists and veteran authors:

In The
Black Dragon
, the first book in Julian Sedwick’s Mysterium
series, readers meet Danny Woo, a twelve-year-old with an unusual
childhood. His parents were the star performers in the Mysterium
circus—and they taught Danny plenty of tricks. But his parents’ skills
couldn’t save them from dying in a suspicious fire. Now his aunt has
been kidnapped, and Danny must use every trick he knows to rescue her
from an international criminal organization.

The
Bolds
by author and comedian Julian Clary, is a zany new
book about a very unusual family. The Bold family seems fairly normal,
but they’re keeping one hilarious secret: they’re hyenas. That’s
right—they’re covered in fur, have tails tucked into their clothes, and
really, really like to laugh. Will their neighbors ever find out?

Jane
Hardstaff’s
The
Executioner’s Daughter
introduces readers to Moss, who has been
trapped inside the Tower of London all her life with her father, the
executioner for King Henry VIII. She’s so desperate to see the outside
world that even chilling stories of what lies beyond won’t stop her.

Award-winning author Elizabeth
Atkinson
, author of I,
Emma Freke
, brings us The
Island of Beyond.
Awkward, unsocial eleven-year-old
Martin is being packed off to spend the summer with his weird great-aunt
Lenore, who lives on a tiny island in rural Maine called Beyond. Martin
knows it’s going to be a terrible summer . . . but nothing about Beyond
is what Martin expects.

In The
Maypop Kidnapping
by C.
M. Surrisi
, Quinnie’s teacher has disappeared from Maiden
Rock. Quinnie suspects a kidnapping, but her mom, the town sheriff, just
thinks the teacher has left town. So Quinnie teams up with her glamorous
new neighbor, Mariella, to solve the mystery. As the girls hunt for
clues around Maiden Rock, they encounter a cast of unlikely characters.
And if Quinnie’s hunch is right, the search may lead them right into
danger . . .

When Mateo Martinez spots two skunks stealing his trike in Robin
Yardi
’s The
Midnight War of Mateo Martinez
, he knows he’s too big for that
rusty kid toy. But Mateo also has a neighborhood to protect, and he’s
about to begin a big, stinky quest to catch the thieves. A quest that
starts in the middle of the night!
