Sometimes it's hard to rest in peace. A young trainee witch, a family power gone haywire, a dearly departed grandma,…
an undead boy, and an evil witch—that's a recipe for the perfect summer vacation. Both hilarious and heartfelt, this fast-paced mystery about life and death (and afterlife) is for fans of Spirit Hunters and The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl. Twelve-year-old Kimmy Jones wants to excel at the unique (and secret) aspect of her family's funeral home business. Under the watchful eye of Grandma Bev, Kimmy learns how to raise the recently deceased, request their last wish, and break the connection to send them on. But when Grandma unexpectedly dies herself, Kimmy can't reach her spirit, and nothing seems like it's ever going to be right again. Then a boy dies under mysterious circumstances on the night of a meteor shower. With no witnesses, Kimmy's the only one who can get answers about what happened. So she breaks into the hospital morgue, and for the first time in months, her power works. She Wakes the boy up. Except then Kimmy can't break the connection and so he stays Awake. Even worse, the boy has no memory of what happened to him. As Kimmy works to unravel the mystery, she discovers secrets about her heritage and learns about a witch who has been wreaking havoc for centuries. Casey Lyall's supernatural mystery is heartfelt, thrilling, and hilarious. Waking the Dead and Other Fun Activities is perfect for fans of Avi's School of the Dead and Suzanne Young's What Stays Buried

A sweeping, Pakistani romantic fantasy reimagining of The Count of Monte Cristo , where one girl seeks revenge against those…
who betrayed her-including the boy she used to love. Three hundred and sixty-four days. Framed for a crime she didn't commit, Dania counts down her days in prison until she can exact revenge on Mazin, the boy responsible for her downfall, the boy she once loved-and still can't forget. When she discovers a fellow prisoner may have the key to exacting that vengeance-a stolen djinn treasure-they execute a daring escape together and search for the hidden treasure. Armed with dark magic and a new identity, Dania enacts a plan to bring down those who betrayed her and her family, even though Mazin stands in her way. But seeking revenge becomes a complicated game of cat and mouse, especially when an undeniable fire still burns between them, and the power to destroy her enemies has a price. As Dania falls deeper into her web of traps and lies, she risks losing her humanity to her fight for vengeance-and her heart to the only boy she's ever loved
