Wilderness Survival Tip #1 Drinking your own sweat will not save your life. Somebody might have told you that, but they were trying to find out if you'd really do it. Henry Lambert would rather play video games than spend time in the great outdoors_but that doesn't make him a wuss. Skinny nerd? Fine. But wuss is a little harsh. Sadly, his dad doesn't agree. Which is why Henry is being shipped off to Strongwoods Survival Camp. Strongwoods isn't exactly as advertised. It looks like the victim of a zombie apocalypse, the "camp director" is a psycho drill sergeant, and Henry's sure he saw a sign written in blood... Wilderness Survival Tip #2 In case of an avalanche, don't despair. You're doomed, but that's a wicked cool death. Wilderness Survival Tip #3 If you're relying on this book for actual survival tips, you're dead already. Praise for Jeff Strand's A Bad Day For Voodoo: "A delightfully ludicrous read."_School Library Journal "Just the thing for teen wiseacres."_Booklist "[A] free-wheeling dark comedy that starts off running and doesn't stop until all plausibility is exhausted. Sam Raimi fans should eat it up."_Publishers Weekly

What really happened to Anastasia Romanov? Anastasia Romanov thought she would never feel more alone than when the gunfire started and her family began to fall around her. Surely the bullets would come for her next. But they didn't. Instead, two gnarled old hands reached for her. When she wakes up she discovers that she is in the ancient hut of the witch Baba Yaga, and that some things are worse than being dead. In modern-day Chicago, Anne doesn't know much about Russian history. She is more concerned about getting into a good college—until the dreams start. She is somewhere else. She is someone else. And she is sharing a small room with a very old woman. The vivid dreams startle her, but not until a handsome stranger offers to explain them does she realize her life is going to change forever.

When I was yet a very young woman I threw my heart away. Ever since then I have lived heartless, or almost heartless, the way Humans think all Fey live. Among the towering trees of magical Avalon, where humans dare not tread, lives Niviene, daughter of the Lady of the Lake. Her people, the Fey, are folk of the wood and avoid the violence and greed of man. But the strife of King Arthur's realm threatens even the peace of Avalon. And while Merlin the mage has been training Niviene as his apprentice, he now needs her help to thwart the chaos devouring Camelot. Niviene's special talents must help save a kingdom and discover the treachery of men and the beauty of love... "The story glows...a mythical tapestry that is at once completely recognizable yet utterly fresh..." -Publishers Weekly "Like The Mists of Avalon, the Arthurian legend from a woman's point of view." -USA Today "Readers will be enchanted...the characters and strands of the famous legend are skillfully woven together here." -School Library Journal "Take heed: the feminist possibilities of the Arthurian legendary cycle were not exhausted by Marion Zimmer Bradley's bestselling The Mists of Avalon... A riveting good read." -Booklist What readers are saying: "A rather unique look at the legend of King Arthur." "An exquisite addition to Arthurian literature." "The writing is lyrical; the plot twists are original. Great!"

Merlin's Harp

Crompton, Anne

Percival's Angel

Lili's eyes can see in the dark like an owl. She can sense spirit auras of all creatures and perform magic more powerful than most. But because Lili is Fey, she does not possess the world's greatest power-the Human Heart. Lili wants to understand Heart more than anything and her human friend Percy is just the right person to help. Together they begin a treacherous journey-for nothing is more dangerous than finding true love. "Crompton succeeds in incorporating the mysticism of medieval romance into her fantasy...This well-written fantasy can be compared to Katherine Paterson's Parzival and will please the insatiable fans of Arthurian legend." -VOYA "Readers looking for a decidedly different take on the popular reconstructionist view of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table will find much to enjoy and consider in Crompton's latest book." -The SF Site

"You love me, Lady Green. Even as I love you." Gwyneth wasn't supposed to fall in love with Gawain. Not like this. Gawain was the May King-a sacrifice offered to the Goddess for a bountiful harvest in return. Gwyneth knows this. His fate has been decided by powers beyond her control. But the warmth of his touch and the taste of his lips have blurred the lines of what she knows to be true. Now Gwyneth is willing to risk everything to keep Gawain alive, even if it means losing him forever... In truth, in very truth, I do... "A famous knight must rely on a woman to comprehend the chivalric virtues in this subversive and deliciously witty feminist retelling of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." -Publisher's Weekly "The book is unique in its presentation of Lady Green as a strong female character, and many teens will identify with the choice she made for love." -School Library Journal "In her fine reworking of the medieval poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Crompton explores honesty, promise-keeping, honor, and the power of women. Recommended." -Library Journal
