    Qibli knows Darkstalker must be stopped. And he knows he could stop him — if he had magic. With even a sliver of the ancient dragon's all-powerful scroll, Qibli could rewrite history the right way: end war forever; make every dragon happy; perhaps even cast a very small spell so that everyone would like him . . .Instead, as Darkstalker's dangerous influence spreads across Pyrrhia, entrancing or killing every dragon in the seven tribes, Qibli can only grasp the small animus objects he's borrowed from Turtle. With some clever thinking, Qibli's talons finally hold the power to make a difference. But prophecies are not easy to rewrite. Can Qibli be the magical force Pyrrhia needs, or will he be the one to bring Jade Mountain — and his family, his friends, his whole world — crashing down?

    "Moi, c'est Annabelle. Je suis aussi Anna, sur le web, mais ça c'est un secret que personne (ou presque) ne connaît. J'ai créé mon blogue, danslatetedanna.com, pour y raconter des choses pas mal plus trépidantes que ce qui se passe dans ma vraie vie. Et pour la première fois, j'ai l'impression qu'enfin on me remarque. J'ai de plus en plus de lecteurs, de likes et de commentaires. Moi qui rêve depuis toujours d'avoir un blogue populaire, je n'en reviens pas encore ! Sauf que, au moment où je commence à en profiter, à m'élever un peu au-dessus de mon quotidien ordinaire, il se passe quelque chose d'étrange et de très inquiétant... Un lecteur anonyme a découvert mon identité et menace de la dévoiler. Ce qui serait CA-TAS-TRO-PHI-QUE. Mais comment vais-je faire pour me sortir de ça ? Qui es-tu, Anonyme03 ?"

    "J'ai 14 ans. À l'école, je suis «?la gentille Annabelle?», la fille qui ne monte jamais le ton, qui n'a jamais rien de spécial à raconter et qu'on ne remarque pas trop. À la maison, entre ma grande sœur qui réussit à peu près tout et mon petit frère qui est le chouchou de mon père juste parce qu'il joue au hockey, je suis transparente. Quand on a envie de raconter des choses passionnantes mais qu'on a une vie plate, il vaut mieux inventer la vie dont on rêve. C'est pour ça que j'ai créé danslatetedanna.com. Ce que j'écris sur mon blog, c'est la vie que j'aimerais ­vraiment avoir?! (Et puis, si je n'en parle à personne, ça ne peut pas vraiment mal tourner, n'est-ce pas??)"

    Finalist for the 2014 Silver Birch Express Award. Danny finds himself stranded at the bottom of a giant construction hole, armed with nothing but his school backpack, his wits — and the company of a poetry-spouting mole… Danny’s parents have always been a bit flaky, but this time they have gone too far. Now his mother wants to bake cheesecakes in the mountains, and his father wants to be an opera singer. That means Danny and his older brother will spend half the year in Banff (wherever that is) and half the year in New York City. Worst of all, in preparation for the big move, his parents have given away the family dog, Thwack. Furious with his family, Danny runs out of the house and keeps running — straight onto a construction site, where he ends up at the bottom of a very, very large hole. When it appears that help is not immediately forthcoming, he settles in for the short haul, like a subterranean Robinson Crusoe. Drawing on his ingenuity, he provides himself with shelter (garbage bag and paper clips), cereal (coffee creamer, rainwater, granola bars and a few rogue raisins found at the bottom of his backpack) and a washroom (a hole in a hole). He even does his homework! The only thing missing is a Man Friday. Who turns out to have a long, earth-covered snout, a taste for beetles, and no eyes to speak of. Oh, and he also talks. His name is Mole, and he is excellent company — until a snake appears, and Danny must be not only ingenious, but also brave, if he is going to save his new friend.

    When he finds a photograph of his grandfather as a young man, Liam is full of questions. But that's just fine, because Grampy has a story to spin with every answer. On a fall day in 1962, he tells Liam, he had a run in with a nasty girl in search of a dance partner: Daisy was her name. What follows is a tall tale about Grampy's tango with a hurricane, and all those signs of aging--the wrinkles, the stooped back, the croaky voice, the false teeth--can be chalked up to Daisy's persistence and Grampy's refusal to dance. Of course, it takes a talking to from Nana to get that Daisy to blow off elsewhere.
