Book Description

The epic conclusion to The Nethergrim fantasy series! Edmund battles evil with spells, Katherine battles with swords, and Tom with humility and wisdom. Together they've repelled the great wizard Vithric and defeated the otherworldly Skeleth, but nothing has prepared them for the ultimate test--a final, all-out fight against the Nethergrim itself. As the fabric of their world begins to crumble, the salvation of the kingdom hinges on their success. In the great tradition of classic series like John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice, Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones, Matthew Jobin crafts a magnificent, action-packed fantasy world that feels culled from the pages of history. The Nethergrim was selected for New York Public Library's Best Books for Teens 2014 Texas Library Association's 2015 Lone Star Reading List Finalist for the 2015 Monica Hughes Science Fiction and Fantasy Award Finalist for the 2015 NCIBA Middle Grade Award Praise for The Nethergrim series: "The kind of series that hooks both new and veteran readers." -- Booklist "[A] solid contender for the teen answer to Game of Thrones."--Kirkus "The Nethergrim reminded me of a cross between The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter... I would really like to see this one on the big screen."-- Brodart's Library Services "Jobin is a fine writer . . . Recommend this to fans of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson or Brandon Mull's Fablehaven series."--VOYA

Book Description

Discover for yourself why reviewers are comparing The Nethergrim to Lord of the Rings, Narnia, and Ranger's Apprentice! The next great epic fantasy is here . . . For the lords of the north, land is power. The Nethergrim, now awoken and free to wreak its evil upon the world, offers the promise of victory to those ruthless enough to accept its foul bargain. One ambitious lord, eager for the chance to conquer and rule, succumbs to temptation and helps to free the Skeleth—eerie, otherworldly beings said to be unstoppable in battle. The Skeleth merge with the bodies of their victims, ruling their minds and turning them into remorseless killers. Worse yet, to kill the man inside the Skeleth only frees it to seize a new host, starting a cycle of violence that has no end. Such chilling tales are not enough to stop young Edmund, innkeeper’s son and would-be wizard, from seeking for a way to turn back the oncoming tide of destruction. Along with his best friends—Katherine the trainer of war-horses and Tom the runaway slave—Edmund searches for a magical weakness in the Skeleth, something that might allow him to break their never-ending curse. The three friends join with the legendary hero Tristan in a battle of courage, wisdom, wits, and sacrifice to stop the Skeleth from ravaging their homeland and all they hold dear. This adventurous tale that marries earthly greed to otherworldly evil is perfect for fans who enjoy the epic worlds of John Flanagan's Ranger’s Apprentice, Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones. Discover for yourself why so many are making the comparisons! Praise for The Skeleth "[A] solid contender for the teen answer to Game of Thrones." —Kirkus Reviews "Jobin is a fine writer . . . Recommend this to fans of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson or Brandon Mull’s Fablehaven series." —VOYA "With this sequel, Jobin has expanded this fantasy adventure into a series of epic proportions. . . [T]he kind of series that hooks both new and veteran readers." —Booklist "The book ends on a cliff-hanger that will have readers anticipating the next volume. Fans of the first title will enjoy this new adventure; purchase this growing series where middle school YA readers are ravenous for epic fantasy." —School Library Journal

Book Description

Can God be good when life is not? Rediscover faith in the character, power, and presence of God. Even in the questions. Even in the hurt. "I want to believe, I want to have hope, but . . ." Pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel hears these words often and has asked them himself. We want to know God, feel his presence, and trust that he hears our prayers, but in the midst of great pain, we may wonder if he really cares about us. Even when we have both hope and hurt, sometimes it's the hurt that shouts the loudest. In Hope in the Dark, Groeschel explores the story of the father who brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus, saying, "I believe! Help my unbelief!" In the man's sincere plea, Jesus heard the tension in the man's battle-scarred heart. He healed not only the boy but the father too, driving out the hopelessness that had overtaken him. He can do the same for us today. As Groeschel shares his pain surrounding the health challenges of his daughter, he acknowledges the questions we may ask in our own deepest pain: "Where was God when I was being abused?" "Why was my child born with a disability?" "Why did the cancer come back?" "Why are all my friends married and I'm alone?" He invites us to wrestle with such questions as we ask God to honor our faith and heal our unbelief. Because in the middle of your profound pain, you long for authentic words of understanding and hope. You long to know that even in overwhelming reality, you can still believe that God is good. Hope in the Dark is also available in Spanish, Esperanza en la Oscuridad.

Book Description

The Doofus and the Divine By: Darcy Phillips In the quiet, dying, sleepy town of Placard in Eastern Montana (objectively the boring side of the state), 19-year-old Oliver Digby wakes to find a stranger in his house. Emmanuel is no ordinary stranger, though. He can close windows and break doorknobs off doors with his mind. …Oh, and he claims to be the next Son of God. Mesmerized yet reluctant, Oliver decides to be this young savior’s guide to humanity, even though his social skills are not exactly great. But off this doofus and his dubious divine savior embark on a journey to discover their fate, and perhaps even save the world in the process. The Doofus and the Divine is a very humorous and yet thoughtful tale of two unlikely heroes and the very unlikely bond they come to share. Illustrated by the author

Book Description

Vivienne Bernard has been in love with Eureka front man, Logen Anders, since she was twenty. The band’s global success has been phenomenal, garnering them millions of adoring fans worldwide. While every girl professes her love for the handsome trio from Norway, Vivienne knows that what she feels for Logen is different, but given the unlikelihood of their meeting, Logen remains a distant and unfulfilled yearning. Thirty years later, Vivienne travels thousands of miles from her Caribbean home to the land of the Vikings to attend a Eureka concert. Her chance encounter with a handsome but exasperating stranger has her temper flaring. The adventure of a lifetime begins when she realizes that the stranger she’d like to murder is none other than the object of her lifelong desire: Logen Anders. During her four-day stay in beautiful Norway, Logen awakens feelings in Vivienne she thought she would never experience again. Nonstop Oslo takes her on a journey of emotional and sexual awakening, while offering Logen the unexpected gift of a second chance. Though he admires Vivienne’s fierce independence, his ultimate desire is to protect, carry, and cherish the woman who has turned his world upside-down.
