Dreamslinger
Amari and the Night Brothers meets Pok矇mon in this thrilling start to Graci Kim's brand-new fantasy series where dragons and phoenixes roam the skies of Seoul; meals magically appear based on your mood; and dreams literally come to life Fourteen-year-old Aria Loveridge lives at the Resthaven Home for Dreamslingers, a safe haven for children born with a genetic mutation that transports them to a powerfully magical realm while they sleep. But this magic can be unpredictable--even deadly. After all, it was only ten years ago when members of the Royal League of Dreamslingers caused the Great Outburst--a tragedy that killed hundreds of people, including Aria's mom. Since then, Aria's dad has become leading expert on Dreamslinger Welfare, which means Aria knows better than most what it takes to keep society safe from her, and others like her: separation, identification, and most importantly, power suppression. So when the Kingdom of Royal Hanguk--home of the Dreamslinger League--announces the first Dreamslinger trials where teenage slingers from around the world are invited to compete for a chance to join the League and learn how to use their powers, Aria knows what she must do: join the trials and take down the League from the inside. But the Trials introduce Aria to a world of wonderous magic and friendship, a world where she finally feels like she belongs. And as dark secrets from the past are revealed--ones that make Aria question her very identity--she becomes even more determined to discover the truth for herself. She just has to survive the trials first.

Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Ruling the World
The spotlight is on trickster god Loki, still stuck as a peevish eleven-year-old, as he grapples with whether he will play the part of the hero or the villain in the school play--and in his mortal life. Norse god Loki's been able to avoid eternity in a pit of angry snakes, but living on Earth as an eleven-year-old is still a drag. When Thor and Loki's "parents" abandon them to go on holiday, Odin sends Balder--Thor's half brother and god of making Loki look bad--to babysit. Then there's the school play. Despite Loki's acting genius (it's lying, after all), Thor is cast as the wonderful prince, while Loki is the villain. What?! At least Loki's found a cool ring to wear with his costume. One that looks suspiciously like the cursed ring of Andvari. It's probably a coincidence that when Loki wears it, everyone gives him the same adoring look they give Balder. And that new voice telling Loki to give in to his deepest, darkest desires is just his conscience, right? Loki starts to wonder: What's the point of being good if everyone's already decided you're bad? Drama and hilarity ensue in this third doodle-packed diary that will have readers giving Loki a standing ovation.
