Twelve-year-old Pippa Quickblink has always stood out in Grimblewick. Raised by her eccentric, tech-fearing Aunt Hazel, Pippa doesn’t own a single screen, not a phone, tablet, TV, or even an electric toothbrush. While her classmates lose themselves in the latest apps and blinking gadgets, Pippa prefers dusty books, peculiar mysteries, and observing the town’s increasingly bizarre behavior. But when Grimblewick’s ...

And Juniper Quill, once a girl who leapt between worlds with a pen in her pocket and questions in her chest, is now twenty-one, quiet, and convinced her story has ended. Until a letter arrives.

Who are you when the world forgets your name? Sally Hemingway is fading—and no one seems to notice. Not her teachers. Not her classmates. Not even the mirror, which now lags behind like it’s trying to remember who she is. Words slip from her tongue. Photos erase her face. And just when she thinks she might disappear entirely, a map arrives—one that draws itself. It leads to Gribbleton: a crooked, crumbling city built from forgotten memories, unwanted dreams, and abandoned versions of people who once were. It’s ruled by the Museum of Could-Have-Beens, where lives are curated, ...

Sunny Harper was born smiling. Not just grinning, beaming. Even while locked in her attic “sky lounge” by her cruel, jam-slinging parents, she found silver linings.

Thanks to her glowing Gratitude Jar and a mysterious locket humming with golden wisps, Sunny’s joy made Starbloom Hollow blossom. But when a flood sweeps in, a fire rages, and betrayal hits close to the heart, Sunny’s smile fades for the first time. Her orchard is ash, her hope is gone, and the ...
