Trouble in Inchickery
In a land called Inchickery, there lived beautiful flying bugs that played by a little stream during the daytime. But at night, when no one was around, they turned into beautiful fairies that helped to make the forest grow. Each evening with just one wave of the wand, they could turn the nastiest weed into a beautiful flower, full of blossoms that were loved by everyone. Well, almost everyone! In the four areas of Inchickery, there lived all sorts of creatures, and some did not take kindly to the fairies going around making everything nice and pretty. "I HATE PRETTY!" Trollby the troll could be heard shouting each morning on seeing the forest all nice and clean. And he wasn't alone. The huggles and bugles, ogres, grumpy ground bugs and even more grumpy trolls than Trollby were heard to say, "I will have the squishy mud, the swarthy weeds, the sticky brambles, the stinging nettles, and the sinking swamps. Mark my words." First-time author Martin Carter grew up in Inchicore, a suburb of Dublin, Ireland. "My godson inspired me by asking me a question when he was only three years of age. We were walking in a local city park and passed by a little stream with lots of tiny little bugs milling around. My godson asked what the bugs were doing flying on top of the water. I told him they were not really bugs, and when no one was around, they would turn into magical woodland fairies. The seed was planted and the story grew."

Ivy and Forest Rewrite the World
Fairy tale heroes and fantasy villains chase one another across the multiverse in this clever middle grade debut that sparkles with bookish magic and quick-witted humor. Ivy is an isolated, daydreaming girl in the "real" world. Forest is a scrawny, unlikely hero in Ivy's "pretend" story. Never the two shall meet . . . until Forest unexpectedly walks through a portal and finds himself in Ivy's queendom. All Forest wants to do is talk to the author of his story about a few edits to his character arc--he has no idea what kind of narrative stakes he is up against. As soon as Ivy and Forest try to rewrite Forest's story, the pair gets caught in an evil wizard's plot for world domination. They must travel through the multiverse of Ivy's imagination--along with a mishmash cast of abandoned characters, including junior superheroes, an intrepid Victorian girl detective, and even a rough draft version of Forest himself--to foil their dastardly foe. If they don't succeed in their heroic quest, each and every world (possibly even Ivy's own!) could be obliterated with just two short words: "The End." Each story splinters into the next in this brilliant spin on classic storytelling tropes that celebrates the power of imagination and creativity during uncertain times. Bursting with energy, Hannah West makes a fresh middle grade debut that is perfect for bookworms and kids with big imaginations. Features spot illustrations and a map of Ivy's multiverse destinations.
